When Hermès discontinued the Herbag in the early 2000s, it did not simply retire the concept – it rethought it. The Herbag Zip arrived a few years later as the maison’s answer to what a modern, everyday Hermès bag could be: more structured than its predecessor, more considered in its details, and no less relaxed in spirit.

The differences are immediately apparent to those who know. The Zip introduces a reinforced base for added structure, an exterior zip pocket that feels genuinely useful rather than decorative, and a press stud flap secured by the Clou de Selle clasp – a quiet nod to Hermès’s equestrian heritage. Inside, a detachable zip pouch keeps essentials organised and doubles as an independent pochette when needed. At 39 cm, the Zip takes on an unhurried, generous character – the size for those who carry their day with them without it ever feeling like a burden. The leather shoulder strap ensures a comfortable fit throughout. Made in France.

Everything the original Herbag promised, refined for those who use their bag seriously.
