Finding information on Hermès bags is not easy, and that’s by design; keeping its bags mostly shrouded in mystery helps the brand maintain the sense of exclusivity and scarcity that makes them the most coveted–and most expensive–accessories in the world. The Hermès website features only a tiny fraction of the brand’s full lineup available for purchase, and if you want more information than what it provides, you better get very familiar with our PurseForum or spend a lot of time trying to sift through conflicting information on the Internet at large. That’s where we come in.
It’s in the brand’s best interest for customers to think that they need to form a relationship with a sales associate in order to get the whole story, but we’re big fans of having information at our fingertips. Below, you’ll find the first step in our ongoing quest to catalog Hermès handbag offerings. We’ll also be compiling guides to Hermès colors, leathers, sizes and pricing, but first: a simple, visual guide to which names correspond to which bags, and how similar models differ from each other, with photos sourced from trusted auction houses, resale sites and our own Forum members.
We tried to include all the bags that we knew of which are currently being manufactured or were in the somewhat recent past. Because of the brand’s cloak-and-dagger approach to luxury accessories, it’s highly likely that we’ve missed a couple of bags along the way; if you know of something that should join this group, please let us know in the comments. (If you have a link to a photo, even better.)
