Hermès
Hermès handbags define the pinnacle of luxury craftsmanship. Meticulously handmade from the finest materials, icons like the Birkin and Kelly transcend fashion and are symbols of artistry, rarity, and enduring elegance.
Explore Hermès Handbags at The 1916 Company
Hermès handbags stand at the peak of craftsmanship and prestige. Each piece is handcrafted in France by a single artisan, using traditional saddle-stitch techniques and carefully selected leathers that are designed to be carried and collected for a lifetime.
Signature Hermès Styles
From the legendary Birkin and Kelly to the elegant Constance and Evelyne , our selection of pre-owned Hermès handbags provides access to some of the most sought-after designs in the world. Clients can also explore additional models such as Lindy, Picotin, Halzan, Jige, and Bolide, each offering its own shape, function, and character within the Hermès universe.
Whether you are searching for a structured top-handle bag, a versatile crossbody, or a relaxed day-to-day carry, our pre-owned Hermès collection is curated to include a range of sizes, silhouettes, and carrying options to suit different lifestyles.
Materials, Leathers, and Colors
Hermès is renowned for its exceptional leathers, including Togo, Clemence, Epsom, Swift, and Box Calf, as well as exotic skins such as crocodile, alligator, ostrich, and lizard. Each material offers a distinct grain, weight, and structure that affects how the bag looks and wears over time. Clients can choose from softly slouched Clemence pieces, crisp Epsom Sellier constructions, or classic Togo that balances softness with structure.
Core neutrals like Gold, Etoupe, Noir, Craie, and Etain remain among the most desired Hermès colors and are prized for their versatility and long-term value. Seasonal shades, special-order combinations, and limited editions appeal to collectors seeking something more distinctive, from soft pastels to deep jewel tones and vibrant statement hues.
Authentication and Pre-Owned Confidence
Every Hermès handbag offered by The 1916 Company is authenticated and evaluated before being listed for sale. We use Entrupy's handbag authentication technology in combination with a detailed in-house inspection of stitching, stamps, hardware, and interior structure to ensure accuracy and quality. This process helps clients shop pre-owned Hermès with confidence, knowing each piece has been independently verified.
Condition is carefully documented with high-resolution photography and written descriptions, allowing clients to assess wear, corners, handles, and interior cleanliness from any location. Our goal is to provide the same level of clarity and trust expected from a dedicated Hermès specialist.
Pricing, Rarity, and Investment Potential
Pricing for Hermès handbags in the secondary market varies based on style, leather, size, color, and rarity. While smaller clutches and select leather goods can begin around $2,000, highly coveted Birkin and Kelly bags in premium leathers or exotic skins may reach well into six figures. Limited production, global demand, and meticulous craftsmanship have positioned many Hermès bags as long-term store-of-value pieces within the luxury category.
Clients interested in building a collection can start with a versatile neutral in a core leather, then expand into special colors, sizes, or exotic materials as their taste and experience evolve. Our Client Advisors provide one-on-one guidance to help align purchases with both aesthetic preferences and potential value retention.
