Bag Review: Hermes Etribelt Shoulder Bag

Posted on September 2, 2012 by The Bag Hag

It’s the first time I see the new Hermes Etribelt shoulder bag (in Geranium) up close.

It is a rather unusual bag that has incorporated bits and pieces of the label’s bag iconic styles. While I do like the way the bag looks, I do wonder about its functionality. It seems like I will need to keep unbuckling the belt to open the bag. For design purposes though, the buckle looks great.  I’m sure the bag can work rather well without its flap being buckled in– either you can tuck the flap into the bag (like a birkin) or leave the flap over the buckle.
I have yet to test drive this bag and I can’t wait to do it soon. But this bag is something new at Hermes. I quite like the way it looks. In Singapore, the bag is priced at SG$ 11,100 (or about US$ 8,900).
If I were to choose between the Etribelt and the Kelly though, I would still go for the Kelly. How about you?
Happy Sunday, everyone :)

    The Etribelt is refreshing but I’d go for the Kelly forever. x

    It’s hard to see where the handle is attached. If it is attached at the top, like a kelly, you would need to keep it buckled, which is what I don’t love about my Kelly. If it is attached at the sides, and therefore able to leave it unbuckled, it would would be much easier to use then the kelly. I will really need to see this bag in person.

    For Sin$11,000 ? No doubt, Kelly is a forever classic ; hence a better choice.
