It seems like Hermès has snuck in a little price increase last month. It’s not enough to make your eyes bulge, but nonetheless some prices are up. Considering everything that’s been going on in the world – huge financial instability for many, combined with soaring financial markets and high boutique sales via pandemic shopping (whether due to perceived scarcity or merely for, ahem…therapeutic purposes), it’s not surprising, or unusual, but it is a bit disappointing. Some noted increases are as follows:
Silk Prices
Most silk prices have gone up.
| Style | Old Price | New Price |
| Carré 45 | $195 | $205 |
| Carré 90 | $420 | $435 |
| Twilly | $175 | $180 |
Fortunately the already-exorbitant cashmere 140cm GM prices are the same, $1,100, as are the Carrè 140s at $860. However, the 140 Carrè wash went up $40, from $890 to $930.
Leather Goods Prices
Some Leather Goods are also up a bit. Examples include:
| Style | Old Price | New Price |
| Bolide 31 | $8,300 | $8,400 |
| Lindy 30 | $9,150 | $9,250 |
| Picotin Lock 18 | $2,725 | $2,750 |
However, some bags have also gone down, including:
Herbag Zip 31 Verso down $25, from $2,600 to $2,575.
Mosaïque au 24 down $25, from $7,600 to $7,550.
Trim Duo 24 down $150, from $5,450 to $5,300.
There have also been some changes in the jewelry department as well. We are seeing reports that fine jewelry has gone up around 5% on some (not all) pieces.
