From Hollywood all the way to Mzansi, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ve heard that Herm\u00e8s Birkins are worth more than gold<\/a> – but do you know why? Herm\u00e8s Birkin bags are known as one of the most expensive bags in the world, ranging anywhere from R141 000 to millions. These beautiful bags is the epitome of luxury.<\/p>\n

Get your designer purses out ladies because you\u2019re going to want to invest in these money bags.<\/p>\n

See our top reasons why Herm\u00e8s Birkins are so expensive.<\/p>\n

Master craftsmanship<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Any loyal Luxity follower will tell you that quality means EVERYTHING to us and Herm\u00e8s never disappoints in this department. Authentic Hermes Birkins are made from sublime quality<\/a> with meticulous attention to detail during all stages of the creation process. This is because the crafters consider every bag to be a piece of art rather than a mere handbag. These designers are exceptionally fussy about the materials used\u00a0and\u00a0which artisan is responsible for crafting the handbag. But we\u2019d say that it is absolutely WORTH IT!<\/p>\n

According to Herm\u00e8s<\/a>, the brand only considers the most elite craftsmen with years of experience that use only high-grade leathers. In fact, a single artisan is responsible for the creation of the bag from start to finish. This artisan must identify his\/her work with a unique sequence of number, letters, and symbols – these are usually located on the clasp.<\/p>\n

After Herm\u00e8s Birkins are completed, they are inspected by another artisan to ensure each bag meets the perfectionist standards of Herm\u00e8s. Once the bag passes the inspection, it is then stamped and sent to the Herm\u00e8s Logistics Centre where a final review takes place and then finally shipped to a Herm\u00e8s boutique. Talk about quality control!<\/p>\n

Herm\u00e8s Birkins Precious Materials<\/h2>\n

\"Hermes<\/p>\n

When a handbag starts at R141\u00a0000<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0original retailer, then you already know that you\u2019re paying for quality. We\u2019re talking about the finest leathers in the world<\/em>\u00a0such as crocodile, ostrich, lizard, calf. Herm\u00e8s is one of the only fashion companies that can deliver baby-soft leather goods that are 100% blemish-free.<\/p>\n

All the locks, buckles and keys of Herm\u00e8s Birkins are plated with rare materials such as gold or palladium (which is more if not equal to platinum). Some Herm\u00e8s Birkins even come with diamonds. Yes, real diamonds<\/em>! These are usually optional and available for custom designs,\u00a0but\u00a0a few non-custom handbags\u00a0are designed with them.<\/p>\n

Because of the use of precious materials, the price of a Herm\u00e8s Birkins automatically sky-rockets.<\/a>\u00a0So, if you\u2019re still wondering whether Herm\u00e8s Birkins are really worth the money, our answer will always be YES, YES, YES!<\/p>\n

Limited Quantities<\/h2>\n

Every year Herm\u00e8s controls and limits the production of Birkins. These beauties are never advertised to maintain their scarcity and to purchase a Birkin bag directly from a Herm\u00e8s store or boutique is practically impossible (pssst, that\u2019s why Luxity makes it easy for you!).<\/p>\n

We\u2019d say that the scarcity and difficulty in obtaining your very own Birkin is what adds to the allure. This creates a\u00a0mythical aura around the almost unobtainable handbag, making it a prized possession to anyone who is lucky enough to lay their paws on one.<\/p>\n

This is one of the biggest contributors to the high cost of these beauties. In fact, This strategy works so well that Herm\u00e8s is considering scaling back further over the coming years.<\/p>\n

Value Increase<\/h2>\n

\"Birkin<\/p>\n

The appreciation in the value of Herm\u00e8s Birkins is a huge contributor to its high price. Since its launch, these handbags have risen in price by an average of 14,2% per year<\/a>, this even supersedes traditional investments such as gold. These consistent increases help to explain why Herm\u00e8s Birkins are so expensive.<\/p>\n

No other bag has the same kind of prestige, history or legacy as the Birkin – naturally,\u00a0making it even more coveted!<\/a><\/p>\n

Pop Culture<\/h2>\n

\"pop<\/a><\/p>\n

The \u2018it\u2019 bag status is also due to the huge celebrity following.<\/a> Herm\u00e8s Birkins are seen in the arms of A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga and more.<\/p>\n

Even for these celebrities, Birkin bags come at a steep price. Herm\u00e8s is one of the only high fashion companies that doesn\u2019t do name dropping in exchange for free merchandise. Not even for Jane Birkin, the very muse of the bag herself. Yes, that\u2019s how exclusive it is!<\/p>\n

It is said that the Herm\u00e8s Birkins big break in popular culture began circa 2001 with an appearance on \u2018Sex and the City\u2019. Thereafter, the brand saw a sales increase and dubbed as iconic. Ever since the bag\u2019s continuing presence in popular culture<\/a> has contributed to high demand and value.<\/p>\n

So, in a way, Herm\u00e8s owes a lot of their revenue to celebrities strutting their Birkin beauty about.<\/p>\n
