![]() These “estimates” are based on the limited confirmed increased prices I have listed above (reported by Hermès clients), ranging from 2% to 5%. Therefore, I will include the “old” prices along with an estimate of what the new price could be. Chart via it happens, as of this writing, the prices have not completely changed over yet. Never fear! I’ve done my best to get as much of the new information as possible, and for the rest, I am passing along some guesstimates.Ī few new confirmed Hermès bag prices for 2022. So while I have a trove of price information for you….a lot of it is going to be slightly out of date. Now, of course, as I’m writing this article, Hermès decides to announce that it’s time for a price increase – which admittedly does happen around this time every year. The same item can have different prices depending upon the leather used or the structure. To some extent, of course, I understand that for most people who don’t keep up with the offerings and the ever-changing prices, it can get a bit confusing. Oh, and P.S.: don’t delete comments that question easily verifiable information.) How many “news” articles have we read where any given Hermès bag is deemed to cost $20,000 or more?

Prices seem to be increasing exponentially, and as a customer, it’s hard to keep up. I remember looking at reseller websites back then, thinking, “ who is gonna pay for that crazy markup price?” when those crazy markup prices are about half of what I’m seeing now.

Those 32 cm Sellier Kellys on display in the mid-aughts were $6,500. ![]() There is a certain kind of chest pain I feel when looking back at the old prices. Birkins still weren’t easy to find, but my Kellys were occasionally on display, and Constances could be had for the asking (and they couldn’t give the Kelly Danse away). There were no twillies, triangles, or 70 cms, but mousselines were plentiful and came in two sizes, and the cashmere silk GMs were so sturdy they very rarely pilled or pulled. When I started shopping at Hermès back in 1997, 90 cm scarves cost $275, 45 cms cost $100. ![]()
