Hermes HandbagsWith a 170-year record of providing luxurious leather goods, Hermes handbags have earned their reputation as the most sought-after handbag in history. Hermes purses often are named after famous women who wear or inspire their designs. The Hermes Kelly bag got its name because it was Grace Kelly's favorite. The Birkin bag was named after Jane Birkin, famous for appearing nude alongside Brigitte Bardot in the late 1960s. In 2004, a Hermes Birkin bag with a diamond-encrusted clasp and lock sold at auction for $64,800! With a waiting list years long and regular prices of $6,000, Birkin are difficult to get, even for the rich and famous. Vintage Birkin bags are a hot ticket among wealthy collectors, who pass them down as family heirlooms. They got their start as a saddle maker and the equestrian influence and handmade styling is very evident in each Hermes purse. Hermes's leathers and skins are chosen and tanned to give them a buttery-soft look and feel. Hand stitching is sewn to perfection and hardware is jewelry-quality. Birkin bags come with dust covers for the bags, as well as dust covers for the lock and keys that accompany each authentic bag. All hardware is stamped with a Hermes "H" and each handbag has a sign of authenticity.Return from Hermes Handbags page to Designer Handbag Hub home page.
