- Birkin 25, 30, 35 and 40
- Kelly 25, 28 and 32, in Sellier or Retourne construction
- Constance, Picotin Lock and Lindy
- Evelyne, Garden Party and Herbag
For other models, send photos through the form. The quote costs nothing and carries no obligation.
What sets the offer on a Hermès bag
An offer on a Hermès bag is based on what the same model, size, leather, color and hardware resells for in the same condition. On a Birkin or Kelly, a change in any one of those can move the price by thousands of dollars. LXY Philly looks at:
- Model and size. A Birkin 25 and a Birkin 35 are different markets, and a Kelly 25 is priced apart from a Kelly 32.
- Construction. A Sellier Kelly has rigid sides and exterior stitching. A Retourne is softer, with the seams turned inside.
- Leather and color. Togo and Epsom wear well. Swift and Box calf show scratches sooner. Neutrals and seasonal colors sell to different buyers.
- Hardware. Gold-tone, palladium or rose gold, and how scratched the plating is.
- Year stamp. Every Hermès bag carries a blind stamp with a letter marking the year it was made, and buyers read the bag's condition against that year.
- Wear points. Corner rubbing, darkened handles, cracked edge glazing, and a body that has lost its shape.
- Accessories. Lock, keys, clochette, rain cover, box, dust bag and receipt.
How selling your Hermès bag works
- Send the model, size, leather, color, hardware and photos through the online form, with a clear photo of the blind stamp if you can find it. You get a quote within 24 hours.
- Use the free prepaid, insured shipping label, or schedule a face-to-face evaluation on Jewelers Row.
- Specialists verify authenticity and grade the condition.
- Accept the offer and get paid promptly, or trade its value toward another bag or watch.
