Hermès 2025 Price Update: What It Means for Collectors and Investors
As we step into the second half of 2025, Hermès has once again adjusted its pricing across key global markets. This year’s increases span the U.S. and Europe, affecting nearly every handbag silhouette in the Maison’s core and seasonal offering. On average, U.S. prices have risen by 6–7%, while European increases hover around 4.3%.
At Wararni, where luxury is approached with discernment and long-term value in mind, we’re unpacking what these new prices mean for collectors, investors, and fashion patrons alike.
🕰 A Brief History of Hermès Pricing Strategy
While Hermès has long been associated with exclusivity, its pricing trends over the years reflect a balance between craftsmanship costs and strategic scarcity. From 2016 through 2021, price movement on key models like the Birkin 25 in Togo was relatively flat—even holding steady during the pandemic. But post-2021, prices have sharply climbed, driven by rising production costs, demand outpacing supply, and Hermès' ongoing market positioning as the pinnacle of understated luxury.
To put it in perspective:
- The Birkin 25 Togo has increased from $9,850 in 2019 to $12,100 in 2025 — a 22.84% rise.
- The Kelly 25 Retourne has moved from $9,375 in 2019 to $12,000 today in the U.S.
These changes reinforce Hermès’ strategy: to make their most coveted pieces even more unattainable, while rewarding those who already own them.
🇺🇸 2025 U.S. Hermès Pricing Overview
Below is a snapshot of the most notable 2025 increases in the U.S. market:
| Bag Style | Leather | 2024 Price | 2025 Price | % Increase |
| Birkin 25 | Togo | $11,400 | $12,100 | +6.1% |
| Mini Kelly II | Epsom | $9,400 | $10,000 | +6.4% |
| Kelly 25 | Togo | $11,300 | $12,000 | +6.2% |
| Constance 18 | Epsom | $8,950 | $9,700 | +8.4% |
| Herbag Zip Cabine | Canvas/Hunter | $4,150 | $4,675 | +12.6% |
| Dépêches 25 Pouch | Woolycot/Togo | $9,000 | $9,850 | +9.4% |
Worth noting is that non-quota bags — such as the Herbag and Della Cavalleria — have experienced the most aggressive increases, signaling a broader pricing shift across the full Hermès ecosystem.
🇪🇺 2025 Hermès Price Movement in Europe
Price adjustments in Europe have been gentler overall, averaging around 4.3%. Here's how key models now stand:
| Bag Style | Leather | 2024 Price | 2025 Price | % Increase |
| Birkin 25 | Togo | €8,600 | €8,950 | +4.1% |
| Mini Kelly 20 | Epsom | €7,150 | €7,450 | +4.2% |
| Kelly Elan | Crocodile | €39,900 | €42,500 | +6.5% |
| Picotin 18 | Clemence | €2,490 | €2,600 | +4.4% |
Again, the Mini Kelly 20 in exotic finishes leads the upper tier, with increases on all variants — including alligator and studded box leather — reflecting the continued appetite for statement miniatures.
💼 The Investment Case: Rising Prices, Rising Value
At Wararni, many of our clients view Hermès not only as a wardrobe cornerstone but as a financial asset. Price increases like these reinforce that perspective.
Every percentage increase widens the delta between boutique cost and resale market value. For example:
- A Mini Kelly that once retailed under $10,000 is now trading above $18,000 on the resale market — and rising.
- Rarity, condition, and provenance continue to drive collector premiums, especially on Birkins in discontinued colors or exotic leathers.
Rather than scaring away buyers, price hikes have only increased demand. As new barriers are introduced, ownership becomes an even more exclusive experience.
