5 most luxury handbags explored as Hermes Birkin tops the list

According to economists, the Hermes Birkin is a ‘Veblen Good’, which means that demand for the product accelerates when its price rises. CNBC reports that Hermes Birkin increased its price by 7 percent earlier this year, with its sales up 19 percent in the US region alone. So the term ‘Veblen Good’ fits perfectly with this brand that doesn’t just offer a bag, it sells status.

Hermes Birkin is known for selling one of the most expensive bags in the world, and the fashion around this brand is growing every day because of the extra details, premium leather, and hand-woven bags. People have to wait several months to get their hands on the bags.

1) Hermès Ginza Tanaka Birkin Bag

Ginza Teneka, a Japanese designer, illustrated this bag that cost 1.4 million dollars, and a few years ago it was the most expensive bag in the world. This shiny silver leather bag has a 2000 diamond attached to its exterior, making it one of the most expensive bags around.

An 8-carat pear-shaped stone is set in the center that can be used as a brooch. The handle of the bag is also detachable and the owners of the bag can wear it as a wristlet.

2) Hermes Rouge Casaque Togo Birkin 35

The Hermes Birkin needed to have extra space because the inspiration came from a young mother, Jane Birkin. In the Birkin 35 series, all the bags are quite spacious and their minimalist design appeals to all bag lovers.

With a sleek rectangular solid frame made of premium leather, this red bag looks elegant with minimalist approaches and vivid colors. Only two handles on the top and a flap closure are two distinctive designs of this series, which is reflected in this bag.

With its simple minimalist look, this Hermès Rouge Casaque Togo Birkin 35 comes with an additional lock and strap that can be attached to one of the handles. This bag comes with a dust bag or pouch, about 33cm in size with an inlaid Hermes logo. The previous price of this bag was $12,300 and after the change it became $12,400.

3) Hermes Black Togo 3-in-1 Birkin 30

The Hermes Birkin Togo Leather 3-in-1 Bag is another masterpiece from this luxury brand. This bag does not care about valuable stone decorations because its only goal is to provide the greatest luxury to its customers.

In addition, its adjustable pocket makes the bag more practical. This bag divides the interior into two parts and when you remove it, all things can be placed in the spacious bag.

Looking quite similar to the Birkin 35, this flap pocket bag adds variation. However, it is priced at around $11,600 at various retail stores.

In 2006, Gaultier’s fall show featured the bag, which is still beloved for its retro woolen print. Hermes has carefully chosen colors like Ivory, Hunter Green and Navy Blue to weave the bag and it is finished with togo leather in black.

It is currently available for $49,500 at various retailers and comes with a raincoat, locks and key along with a dust bag.

These are the best-selling luxury bags from the Hermes Birkin brand, and some of them have become the most expensive bags in several years. They are very expensive, but bag lovers never lose interest in having one in their closet.
