Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Hermès Herbag Cabas Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 30 x 15 cm, it is a roomy everyday tote. It can generally hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, pouch, water bottle, sunglasses, and A4 papers, and many slim 13-inch laptops may fit as well. As always, please compare your own items with the measurements on this page for the best guide.
Q: Can it be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This Cabas style is designed with dual flat shoulder straps, and the listed strap drop is approximately 20 cm. That usually allows for comfortable shoulder carry, although very bulky outerwear can reduce the available space.
Q: What is the extra bag included with this piece? A: One of the Herbag line’s best-known features is its interchangeable canvas body. This vintage example includes an additional beige canvas body alongside the red canvas body, so you can change the look of the bag while keeping the same leather top and straps.
Q: Is this an original vintage Herbag or a later Herbag Zip? A: This piece belongs to the earlier vintage Herbag era. The Square F date stamp corresponds to 2002, which places it before the Herbag Zip update introduced in 2009. That makes it part of the original, discontinued Herbag family rather than the later Zip generation.
Q: What does the Square F stamp mean? A: Hermès uses a blind stamp system rather than a conventional serial number. A letter inside a square indicates the production year for bags made between 1997 and 2014, and Square F corresponds to 2002. This is an important detail when dating and authenticating the bag.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth for gentle surface cleaning, and blot spills promptly rather than rubbing them in. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking the canvas, and prolonged exposure to rain, heat, or direct sunlight. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed in its dust bag so it can hold its shape, and seek Hermès-authorised or specialist care for deeper cleaning or repairs.
Q: Is the interior lined? A: No. According to the product information, this bag has an unlined interior, which keeps it light and easy to use. Many buyers like this for everyday practicality, but you may wish to use a pouch or organiser if you prefer more internal structure.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. Externally, there is visible scuffing and wear to the leather trims along with marks; internally, there is only light trace of use; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes closely for the most accurate impression.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag and an extra bag, as listed in the product information. If something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using checks such as materials, craftsmanship, stamps, hardware and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
