1｜Introduction
The investment value of Hermès is primarily reflected in its brand reputation, limited-edition production, quality and durability, secondary market demand, and its trendiness and status symbolism. The investment value of Birkin bags continues to rise year by year, particularly for limited-edition models or those made from unique materials. Hermès is renowned for its handcrafted craftsmanship, meticulously crafting each piece using high-quality materials. This durability ensures that these pieces not only stand the test of time but also often become heirlooms, increasing their value through inheritance.
In the secondary market, Hermès products continue to experience strong demand, with many items often fetching resale prices far exceeding their original prices. This phenomenon makes Hermès a stable investment option, particularly amidst the growing luxury goods market. Many consumers are beginning to seek out Birkin bags with historical significance and unique stories. Vintage Birkin bags are often highly collectible, as they are not just handbags but also symbols of an era, which continues to drive their demand. Finally, owning an Hermès product is not only a symbol of wealth but also a reflection of taste. This sense of social status makes consumers more willing to pay a premium, further enhancing its investment value.
Birkin Bag
The Hermès Birkin bag is considered a paragon of luxury, offering exceptional investment value. When first released, the Birkin bag cost approximately HKD 16,000. With the brand's growth and rising demand, prices have risen significantly. Currently, the official retail price is typically over HKD 67,000.
Below, we recommend the Birkin 30 and 35 sizes, both of which are ideal for both investment and personal use. Demand for these sizes continues to grow in the secondary market, with the 30 size in particular seeing the largest resale value appreciation due to its greater suitability for everyday wear. Over time, this increased demand for these sizes has led to a corresponding increase in their market value, making them a popular value-preserving option.
Hermès Birkin Denim Jean Handbag
The denim Birkin bag retains the classic silhouette and design elements of the Birkin, but with a more casual and youthful feel. This choice of material highlights the brand's innovative spirit and appeals to a wider consumer base, particularly those who value individuality and style. Denim Birkin bags are often released as limited editions, and this scarcity makes them highly collectible. In 2005, the retail price of a Birkin bag was approximately HKD 70,000. Today, the resale price of such a Birkin bag is around HKD 100,000, or even higher.

Hermès Birkin 30 Mauve Pale
Its distinctive soft lavender color exudes an aura of understated luxury. This color is not only unique, but also displays a variety of color changes under different lighting, sometimes showing a charming effect of white or light pink, which is deeply loved by fashion lovers and collectors. As the demand for Birkin bags continues to rise, especially rare colors like Mauve Pale, their value in the secondary market continues to grow. Many collectors regard them as important investment options, as the value of these limited edition handbags tends to increase significantly over time.

Kelly
The Kelly bag is one of Hermès' classic handbags, renowned for its elegant design and exceptional craftsmanship. First introduced in the 1930s, it's named after Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, who was frequently photographed carrying it in the 1950s, making it a fashion icon. When first introduced, the Kelly bag cost approximately HKD 8,000, but its price has risen significantly with the brand's growth and rising demand. On the pre-owned market, rare examples can fetch as much as HKD 1,500,000 or more.
We recommend the Hermès Kelly 28 as a great investment. Kelly 28 bags hold their value well and can be resold for a high price, making them a wise investment for collectors and investors. The Kelly 28 is also a great size for everyday wear, as it offers ample space and can be conveniently carried by shoulder strap or by the handle at the elbow, a feature not found in many designer handbags.
Gold Hermès Kelly Bag 28
This classic and elegant handbag makes an excellent investment piece and is also perfect for personal use. Its refined design and perfect size make it highly practical, easily complementing any everyday outfit and showcasing elegance and style. This handbag is crafted from gold Epsom leather and features gold hardware. Gold hardware is generally considered more popular than other Hermès hardware colors. Epsom is particularly popular because its color is more vibrant than most other leathers, and it is also durable and easy to clean, making the handbag more durable and easy to maintain.

5 | Brand counter sales growth
Now is the perfect time to buy an Hermès bag. Even luxury industry leader LVMH struggled to escape its declining performance last quarter, with other luxury groups also reporting sluggish market conditions and declining profits. Hermès, despite these challenges, delivered impressive financial results, demonstrating its success in weathering the downturn in the luxury goods market. Revenue grew 11.3% last quarter to $3.99 billion, in line with analysts' expectations. Despite numerous uncertainties surrounding the global economy, geopolitics, and exchange rates, the company maintains its medium-term outlook for revenue growth.
Hermès has been able to grow despite a tough market because it focuses on the wealthiest customers at the top of the pyramid, whose spending is generally less affected by economic fluctuations. Furthermore, its popular bags are hard to come by, with long waiting lists, which has helped Hermès maintain a strong customer base even in a tough market.
