The Herbag is Hermès' lighter, more casual answer to the Kelly. Sotheby's reports that it first appeared in the 1980s as a canvas-and-leather bag for everyday use, drawing on earlier Hermès travel bags and the Haut à Courroies. It was discontinued in the mid-2000s and came back in 2009 as the Herbag Zip.
Like the Kelly, the Herbag has a trapezoid shape and a flap closed with the clou de selle turn-lock. The body, though, is Officier canvas, a tightly woven cotton, while the flap and handle are Vache Hunter leather. This makes it much lighter than an all-leather Hermès bag. The leather top can be detached and fitted to a different canvas body, so one bag can take several looks.
The Zip version added a zipped pocket under the flap, a rear slip pocket, a removable inner pouch, folding handles and a detachable shoulder strap. It is made as the Zip 31 and Zip 39 for daily use, larger Cabine 50 and Zip 52 travel sizes, and a backpack.
