First off, lemme just say, if you’re thinking of snagging one of these bad boys, you’re gonna need a *serious* chunk of change. Like, “new car” levels of serious. We’re talking about a luxury investment here, not just a cute bag for brunch. And honestly, the whole pricing thing is a bit of a moving target.
See, Hermes is sneaky. They don’t just slap a “SALE!” sticker on things. Instead, they do these *price increases*. And apparently, 2024 saw a significant jump. I mean, historically, it was a small nudge, like 1-4%. But the last couple of years? Woah. Apparently, in Europe, we’re talking around a 7% hike, which, like, ouch.
So, what does that actually *mean* for the Kelly 25? Well, it depends. On the leather, for starters. Epsom? Togo? Swift? Each one has its own price point. And where you buy it. Paris? Probably cheaper than, say, resale websites where people are marking them up like crazy because, let’s face it, these things are HARD to get your hands on.
From what I’ve gathered (and I’ve been digging deep, let me tell you!), you’re looking at something in the ballpark of:
* Togo: Around €9100 in Europe, which translates to roughly $11300 USD or $13200 CAD.
* Swift: A bit cheaper, closer to €9000 in Europe.
* Epsom: The most expensive of the bunch, around €9500 euro, that’s $11800 USD, or $13800 CAD.
But like, these are just estimates, okay? Don’t come at me if you walk into a store and the price is different. The price could also depend on whether it’s sellier or retourne. It’s Hermes. They do whatever they want. And frankly, with the cost of making these bags going up, it’s only gonna get worse.
Also, remember that exchange rates fluctuate. So what something costs in euros one day might be different the next. Ugh, it’s all so complicated, isnt’ it?
