How do you actually purchase a Birkin or Kelly? What style, skin, and color should you choose? Is it better to try and find a brand new bag or a pre-loved bag? All these questions and more are common when making the step to purchase your first ever Birkin. To help you find your perfect bag, we have created this Hermes Insights guide which is designed to answer common questions asked by first time buyers.
First things first, how do you actually buy a Birkin or Kelly bag? Hermes implement strict rules as to who is able to acquire one of their iconic bags. There are long waiting lists that can stretch up to six years.
Even getting on the waiting list is a struggle, with customers ranked on previous purchases and reputation with the company. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will actually be able to get on the waiting list in the first place. Instead, the path that the majority of first time buyers choose is that of an auction house or trusted consignment company.
Auction houses are the riskier option of the two, with many buyers paying a premium on their purchase. The option of purchasing from a trusted consignment company is the most commonly used by first time buyers, who can find both new and pre-loved Hermes bags for a set price.
Utilizing the secondary market when making your first Hermes purchase is highly recommended and the safest way to go. Due to the difficulty in obtaining a bag directly from Hermes, the decision of whether to purchase a new or pre-loved bag is often made up on your behalf. The potential of Hermes bags as an investment has created a market where investors purchase new Hermes bags with the sole intention of selling them on.
These bags are listed at auction or on the secondary market in pristine condition and are the equivalent of buying a brand new bag directly from Hermes. There are pros and cons to both new and pre-loved Hermes bags. Many women will seek a new Hermes bag for their first purchase as they believe it holds many advantages over a pre-loved bag.
However, due to the uniqueness of Birkins and Kellys such as limited edition colors and discontinued skins as well as their ability to withstand most wear and tear and remain timeless in the world of fashion, pre-loved Hermes bags are a viable option. We covered the pros and cons of new vs pre-loved Hermes handbags a few weeks ago which you can find here.
Told my SA two weeks ago what I want and now the wait has begun. I don't mind the wait, just like flower said, I can put some money aside during the wait that means if I can keep my promise and stick to my ban lol.

Last edited: Feb 11, Diva O. Sep 16, 5, I waited 8 months for my Birkin. Apr 18, 1, 3 Surrey, UK. Blimey - I might have to put my order in now! In any case it looks like the wait list is long!
I'm guessing the more classic colours like black and navy take longer to come in?? Feb 13, 1.
