Which Hermès bags are actually the most desirable (on resale) ?
Been digging into resale data to see which Hermès bags are actually the most in-demand — not just what flexes the hardest, but what actually flies off the shelves.
I looked at 2,320 BK listings and tried to answer: which combos of size and bag family sell fastest and for the highest prices? (With a minimum of 20 listings per size + bag family to avoid small sample bias)
To do that, I made a "desirability index" — basically: Resale price ÷ Days it took to sell. My thinking was that high price and fast sale should be rewarded with a high score. Felt like a fair-ish proxy for something as fuzzy as desirability lol but feel free to pushback.
| Bag (Family + Size) | Avg Price | Avg Days to Sell | Desirability Index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelly 25 | $32,851 | 65.2 | 503.77 |
| Birkin 25 | $30,637 | 60.9 | 502.64 |
| Kelly 20 | $33,641 | 71.9 | 468.21 |
| Birkin 30 | $24,805 | 57.4 | 431.88 |
| Kelly 28 | $22,720 | 59.8 | 379.86 |
| Kelly 32 | $16,469 | 54.0 | 305.06 |
| Birkin 35 | $15,692 | 61.5 | 255.29 |
| Birkin 40 | $15,684 | 61.7 | 254.39 |
| Kelly 35 | $12,508 | 64.7 | 193.23 |
Seems like small bags continue to dominate as of now, but I wonder if that’ll start to flip as we see more of the big bag trend coming back — on runways, with influencers, etc. (hyperlinked some faster-selling listings for visual-learner girlies like me)
Cute little fashion x data moment, ily!
