Pre-Owned Hermès Handbags

The world’s most exclusive luxury handbags

Few brands are as synonymous with prestige and sophistication as Hermès. Founded in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris, the label’s commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail has remained unchanged. Every Hermès bag is made by a single artisan using a process that can take up to 40 hours per piece!

From its signature orange box to its tight production numbers, Hermès has maintained an aura of exclusivity that few brands can match. The result is a global following of fashion lovers and collectors who understand designer Hermès bags as luxury investments.

What is the most in-demand Hermès bag?

If you're shopping for Hermès handbags, it's helpful to know the signature styles that define the brand's legacy, so you can choose which one will suit your lifestyle and personal preference.

Each of these designer Hermès bags offers something unique — and they may be available to shop without the waitlist when you explore our second-hand Hermès handbags collection.

The Hermès Birkin

Named after Jane Birkin, this remains the most in-demand handbag. It has a signature flap design, minimal branding, and continues to be a symbol of exclusivity.

Sleek and sophisticated, the Birkin is handcrafted from start to finish and available in an array of colours. With our Hermès bags for sale, you can skip the wait and still own a piece of this fashion legend.

The Hermès Kelly

Structured and elegant, the Kelly bag was originally designed in the 1930s but rose to fame after being photographed on Grace Kelly. Whether you go for a chic black design or a pop of colour, the Kelly can instantly elevate any outfit. It’s a timeless choice for collectors of luxury Hermès bags.

The Hermès Constance

First introduced in 1959 and known for its H-shaped clasp and refined structure, the Constance was favoured by Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s. With a sophisticated shape and well-organised interior, it’s perfect for both everyday wear and occasions. Opting for a pre-loved bag is one of the best ways to get hold of this sought-after design.

The Hermès Evelyne

One of the most striking features of the Hermès Evelyne bag is its perforated ‘H’ logo. It’s an understated yet iconic cross-body handbag with its roots in the equestrian world — it was originally designed by Evelyne Bertrand to hold horse grooming tools. It brings casual elegance to any outfit and is available in an array of sizes and colours.

Vintage Hermès handbags

Many collectors seek out vintage Hermès bags for their unique charm, discontinued styles, and the opportunity to own a piece of heritage design. At The Handbag Clinic, we offer expertly restored vintage Hermès pieces that celebrate their original craftsmanship.

Does Hermès use real gold on their bags?

Yes, many Hermès bags are accented with real gold and palladium-plated hardware. Some rare or limited-edition pieces may also feature solid 18-karat gold details or even diamond-encrusted elements, further enhancing their rarity and value.

When shopping for used Hermès bags with The Handbag Clinic, you can buy in peace knowing that the hardware is assessed and authenticated for accuracy and quality.

Do Hermès bags gain value?

You may be wondering, is a Hermès bag a good investment? The answer is yes, Hermès handbags, particularly the Birkin and Kelly, are widely considered investment pieces. Thanks to their limited production, timeless appeal, and consistently high resale value, they can even outperform traditional investments like stocks or gold.

Buying pre-owned Hermès bags gives you access to these ultra-exclusive designs, often at more accessible prices than retail, while still offering long-term value.

Is it worth buying second-hand Hermès bags?
