Hermès bags don't exactly grow on trees.
There's a reason people wait years at boutiques and pay premiums on the resale market. Scarcity is real, demand is relentless, and getting your hands on the right bag at the right time?
At Love Luxury Dubai, we're in the business of connecting buyers with their dream Hermès bags and helping sellers turn their collections into cash.
But how do we actually manage our Hermès inventory?
What happens to bags once they sell?
And more importantly, what are we actively buying right now?
Whether you're eyeing a Birkin 25 or considering selling your Kelly, here's the inside look at how we handle Hermès inventory and what we're searching for.
What We're Currently Buying
Let's get specific about what Love Luxury Dubai is actively seeking right now.
High-Priority Hermès Bags
Birkin 25 & 30 in Neutral Colours
These are consistently the most requested bags. Clients want Birkins they can wear with everything, and neutral colours deliver.
What we're buying:
-
Etoupe: The greige everyone loves
-
Gold: Classic, warm, timeless
-
Beton: Concrete grey that's sophisticated
-
Black: Always in demand, never going out of style
-
Trench: The new neutral that's gaining serious traction
Condition matters. We pay premiums for pristine or excellent condition. Normal wear is fine, but the better the condition, the better the offer.
Kelly Sellier 25 & 28
The Kelly Sellier, with its structured, boxy shape, is highly sought-after. Especially in sizes 25 and 28, which hit that sweet spot between elegant and practical.
We're particularly interested in:
-
Sellier in Epsom leather (holds structure beautifully)
-
Classic colours: Black, Gold, Étoupe, Rouge H
-
Excellent hardware condition (no major scratches or tarnishing)
Constance Mini
The Constance has always been covetable, but the Mini version? Clients are obsessed. It's compact, chic, and surprisingly versatile despite its size.
We're buying Constance Minis in basically any colour if the condition is right. But neutrals and classic shades move fastest.
Special Editions
Anything unusual gets our attention:
-
Horseshoe Stamp (HSS) bags: Special Order pieces with custom colour combinations
-
Touch bags: Those stunning two-tone leather combinations
-
Exotic skins: Crocodile, alligator, lizard, if you've got it, we want to see it!
-
Rare colours: Discontinued shades or seasonal releases that are hard to find
These command premium prices, and we're willing to pay for them.
Beyond Hermès: Chanel Classics
While Hermès is our speciality, we also actively buy Chanel:
-
Classic Flap bags: Medium/Large and Jumbo in caviar or lambskin
-
Boy Bags: Particularly in classic sizes and neutral colours
If you're sitting on a pristine Chanel Classic Flap in black caviar with gold hardware, we definitely want to talk.
What We Pay For
Here's the reality: condition affects value significantly.
Pristine condition (looks unused, basically perfect): Premium offers. These bags sell immediately at top prices, so we pay accordingly.
Excellent condition (minimal wear, well-maintained): Strong offers. Minor corner wear or light scratches on hardware don't disqualify bags; they're expected with use.
Good condition (visible wear but structurally sound): We'll still make offers, adjusted for condition. Honest sellers get honest evaluations.
We're not looking for heavily damaged bags or pieces requiring extensive restoration. But normal use? Absolutely fine.
How Love Luxury Manages Hermès Inventory
Sold Bags: Visible or Vanished?
When a Hermès bag sells through Love Luxury, we don't just delete it from existence. Sold pieces remain visible on our site with a "sold" tag for a reason: education and inspiration.
Why?
Because seeing what's actually sold and at what price helps both buyers and sellers understand the current market. It's transparency in action. You can see that yes, a Birkin 30 in Etoupe with gold hardware sold recently, and here's roughly what it went for. Or that Kelly Sellier, 25, everyone wants? It moved quickly, which tells you something about demand.
This is genuinely useful information. Sellers get a realistic sense of what their bags might fetch. Buyers understand why certain models and colours command premiums.
Archiving Rare Pieces
Some bags deserve special attention even after they've sold. Rare colours, exotic skins, limited editions like Horseshoe Stamp (HSS) pieces, these become reference points.
When an extraordinary bag passes through Love Luxury, we archive it. Not because we're sentimental (okay, maybe a little), but because it demonstrates what's possible. It shows sellers that we handle museum-quality pieces. It shows buyers what might come through next.
Understanding resale value for rare Hermès bags isn't guesswork. It's based on actual transaction history, and making that visible benefits everyone.
How Often New Inventory Arrives
Hermès inventory at Love Luxury refreshes constantly. We're not sitting on static stock hoping someone eventually buys that one bag gathering dust.
New bags come in weekly, sometimes daily, through sellers who've decided to rotate their collections or cash out. We evaluate, authenticate, photograph, and list quickly. The goal is constant movement: fresh inventory for buyers, fast transactions for sellers.
Popular models? They don't stick around long. A Birkin 25 in Black with gold hardware might sell within days. Kelly Sellier, 28 in Étope? Gone before you finish deliberating.
Authentication Before Everything!
Nothing, and we mean nothing, gets listed without passing through our authentication process first.
Every Hermès bag submitted to Love Luxury goes through rigorous authentication by our in-house experts with over 15 years of experience. We examine stitching, hardware, leather quality, stamps, serial numbers, and construction details that separate authentic Hermès from convincing fakes.
Only after authentication confirms everything checks out does a bag get photographed, listed, and made available to buyers. This protects everyone, buyers get guaranteed authenticity, sellers get credibility, and we maintain our reputation.
