Why does a Hermès bag gain value over time?

An Hermès bag is not just a purchase. It's a rare piece of craftsmanship, a cultural icon… and an investment that defies time.

Why does a Hermès bag gain value over time?

Buying a Hermès bag is much more than a pleasure purchase. It's a fashion, cultural, and heritage investment.

At Reench, we see every day how these pieces stand the test of time with their value intact—and sometimes even increasing. Why? Here's what makes a Hermès bag so desirable… and as safe as a financial investment.

1. An extremely rare artisanal production

Each Hermès bag is handcrafted by a single artisan in the house's workshops.

  • Only one craftsman signs his bag
  • More than 15 to 20 hours of work per piece
  • A demanding selection of leathers: Togo, Clemence, Epsom, Box Calf…

An Hermès doesn't age. It matures.

2. A deliberate policy of scarcity

Hermès does not mass-produce. Each bag is distributed in a controlled manner, according to confidential quotas.

  • It's impossible to buy a Birkin or a Kelly directly online
  • Colors, combinations, and finishes are often limited in time.

The result: a controlled scarcity that sustains demand. And therefore, value.

3. Resale value that defies time

Unlike most luxury bags, Hermès models:

  • resell very quickly
  • maintain a stable or increasing value
  • interest collectors, but also investors

In 2020, a Birkin Himalaya sold at auction for over €300,000.

And in many cases, investing in a quality Hermès bag is more profitable and safer than some stock market investments — especially in an uncertain environment.

4. Why buying your Hermès from Reench is strategic

At Reench, we select each bag with rigor and transparency:

  • Authenticated before publication
  • No hidden fees or commissions
  • Fair prices, often lower than those of major platforms
  • Fast shipping in 2 to 3 days

And above all: a vibrant, colorful, unique collection — far from uniformity.

Buying a Hermès bag means choosing an exceptional piece, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and rarity.
