Is the Hermes Kelly bag playing hide and seek?
You feel like you’ve visited every single store in the world and you are disappointed because you can’t find your dream bag. Well, I hope this can ease your pain. Allow me to introduce the Hermes Zip Herbag, this bag is popular thanks to its similar look like the famous Kelly bag.
The original Hermes Herbag was discontinued a long time ago, but the brand took another look at the design and decided to reissue. They re-released the Hermes Herbag in 2009 and added the term ‘Zip’ to its name, to avoid confusion.
You see, the Herbag zip has the same trapezoid body shape and the front flap, but with a different closure. Does it matter when it has the same charisma as the Kelly Bag? It also includes a padlock, versatile shoulder strap and a handle, in conclusion; you have the option to carry in multiple ways. Forget about the Kelly and you might even start to fallen in love with the Herbag Zip.
The most appeal is the back of the bag, which features a silver lock and an exterior zip pocket for your convenient. Both front and back has its own unique style which makes it all worthwhile.
But Hermes is always about luxurious; the brand, quality and price reveal it all. To top it off, you will find a small pouch bag in the interior for all your make-up accesories. The pouch is colored the same as the exterior.
If Hermes Kelly is still hiding and you are fed up of playing games, consider the Hermes Herbag Zip to be your new catch. The price range is also quite affordable. You can pick between 3 sizes: 31, 39 and the largest size Cabine 52cm.
The Hermes Herbag Zip 31 is priced at $2,250 USD and you can take the 39 home for $2,450 USD and €1.400 EUR.

Hi Sassy. How long is the shoulder strap of this bag?
Hi, if you stretch the strap to the top, it will be measured 2 inches drop.
Hello Sassy! Unfortunately, hermes boutiques do not accept inquiries over the phone per SA. I have a friend who will be traveling to Europe. Do you think this hermes herbag zip will be available in any hermes boutique in Paris? I still do not understand how VAT saves a lot of money when you purchase in Europe. Would you please let me know how much would I be able to save if il let my friend purchase this bag in Paris just in case it is available? Thank you so much in advance. Again and again, you and your website is such a great help to us Purse Lovers
Hi, yes of course.
Say the bag cost €1.400, that’s with tax included. Paris tax-refund is around 12%, that’s 168 EUR.
Your friend buy the bag in Hermes and tell the SA ‘I am tourist and I am going to apply for tax-refund’. The SA will write a ‘special’ receipt, which contains specific information about the bag, like prices and origin. Before your friend leave the country, he needs to go to the custom at the airport. He shows the’special’ receipt, fill in an application form, then the custom personally ‘check’ the Hermes bag. And if everything is oke, your friend gets a stamp on the form.
He takes the form to a tax-refund company (also located at the Airport), it’s usually an external/affiliate company. And then the tax-refund will be processed. He will get 168 EUR on his bank account.
Your friend ‘have to’ SHOW the goods to the custom before he can get a stamp. If he check-in his luggage too early with your Hermes bag inside, then you will not get the stamp.
