HERMÈS

Brand History

Hermès is the ultimate expression of heritage luxury. Established in 1837 as a Parisian workshop specialising in bespoke equestrian harnesses, the maison built its reputation on uncompromising quality and hand craftsmanship.

Over generations, Hermès evolved into a global symbol of refined luxury while preserving its artisanal roots. Inspired by icons such as Grace Kelly and Jane Birkin, Hermès handbags have transcended fashion to become cultural symbols, heirlooms, and investment assets admired worldwide.

Hermès FAQs & Resources

Why are Hermès bags so difficult to buy in boutiques?

Hermès operates a highly controlled distribution model designed to preserve exclusivity and craftsmanship. Many sought-after bags are not displayed on the sales floor and are offered selectively to established clients, making alternative sourcing through trusted specialists essential. Read more in How Hermès Scarcity Works.

What is a quota bag and which Hermès bags fall under this system?

Birkin and Kelly bags are considered quota bags, meaning clients are typically limited to purchasing a small number per year directly from boutiques. This system has contributed to their rarity and value on the secondary market. Learn more in Understanding Hermès Quota Bags.

Which Hermès bags are considered the best investments?

Birkin and Kelly bags in classic colours and leathers are widely regarded as investment-grade assets. However, Constance, Mini Kelly, and certain limited editions also show strong value retention. Explore our insights in Hermès Bags as Investment Assets.

What leathers and exotic skins does Hermès use?

Hermès works with an unparalleled range of leathers, including Togo, Epsom, Clemence, Swift, Evercolor, and exotic skins such as crocodile, alligator, ostrich, and lizard. Each material offers distinct texture, structure, and ageing characteristics. Discover more in Hermès Leathers Explained.

What is the difference between Retourne and Sellier Hermès bags?

Retourne styles offer a softer, more relaxed silhouette, ideal for everyday use, while Sellier bags are more structured and formal. Both styles reflect different lifestyles and aesthetic preferences. Read our full guide in Retourne vs Sellier Hermès Bags.

How should I care for and store an Hermès bag?

Proper storage includes gentle cleaning, removing hardware, stuffing with acid-free tissue, and keeping the bag upright in its dust cover away from sunlight. Learn best practices in How to Care for Your Hermès Bag.

What makes Horseshoe Stamp (HSS) Hermès bags special?
