Hermes Leather Bags Collection: Feu2Dou

I usually don't ask around for opinions about a bag because I always know that I like one when I see it, whether up close or in pictures. Unfortunately, with the Feu2Dou bag I am quite stumped, especially since my local store doesn't have one the last time I went there and therefore wasn't able to play with it.

This is the one I am talking about (pictures from Hermes.com, US site, screenshots):



And here's the description, also from the site:

Feu2Dou

Hermes weekender bag in canvas with barenia leather
Measures 12" x 14.75", 8.5". Handles are 10" long. Unlined. Detachable leather interior pouch with snap closure (7.25" x 5"), leather tab closure, linen dustbag included, 6 stainless steel feet, 7.25" perforated leather plaque

Ref. 056300CKAA

$6,400.00

What bothers me about the bag are:

1) The perforated leather plaque. I don't mean to offend Evelyne lovers out there but I am quite put off by this. I am trying to rid myself of logos and this one, with its big H, is screaming that it's from Hermès. Or maybe it's just me?

2) That dangling leather strap. Based from my experience with dangling leather straps on bags is that they tend to curl outwards over time; in the picture it's starting to curl. I worry that in the future, the bag would look like it has a snout.

What I like about the bag are:

1) Barenia + toile = hotness. Especially that tiny, detachable pouch of pure barenia deliciousness. Yum-O (yes, I love her).

2) Lack of hardware. It gives the bag a rustic feel in the absence of zippers and metal clasps.

3) Hat-like cover. I haven't seen any bag like that before and I think it's pretty neat.

4) Feet and width. Two things that a similar tote--the Jumping Cabas--lacks. Although to be fair, that's the only fault I can find with that bag. Otherwise, it's perfect.

5) General design. I'm used to carrying big tote bags and I think this would fit my lifestyle.

I still have about 6 or 7 months to decide since I plan to make this my summer bag. I just want to know how this bag makes you feel.

Feel free to let all your opinions out. Even if you say that it's an ugly piece of sh*t, I won't take offense. Really.
