Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Invest in Hermès

Hermes Birkin 35 Clemence

When it comes to luxury investments, few items rival the enduring allure and financial stability of a Hermès, more specifically the highly coveted Birkin & Kelly. As 2025 approaches, prospective buyers are presented with a unique window of opportunity to secure one of the world's most coveted handbags before prices increase even higher. With industry trends pointing to a likely increase in retail prices next year, now is the time to invest.

The trajectory of Hermès prices has been consistently upward, and there are no indications that this trend will slow anytime soon. The enduring appeal of the Birkin & Kelly—fueled by craftsmanship, exclusivity, and cultural significance—keeps demand at extraordinary levels. Despite Hermès’ efforts to expand its leather production facilities, supply continues to fall short of demand, whether by design or circumstance.

What does this mean for buyers? Simply put, Hermès’ pricing strategy, influenced by inflation and rising production costs, signals continued increases in retail prices. Many experts predict that another high single-digit percentage hike could be on the horizon in 2025.

Why Invest Now?

Waiting until 2025 to purchase a Birkin may mean paying a premium. More importantly, as retail prices rise, so too will the resale value of these bags. For those considering a Birkin or Kelly as an investment, this creates a dual advantage: purchasing before the price hike not only secures the bag at a lower cost but also positions the buyer to benefit from increased resale value in the future.

Hermès bags, particularly the Birkin and Kelly, are renowned for holding their value over time, often outperforming traditional investments. A price increase at the retail level will likely result in a parallel surge in resale prices, making 2024 an optimal year for buyers to enter the market.

Don’t wait—this opportunity is as exclusive as the bag itself!
