Supply Shortage for Hermes USA
YES, you did read it here on CollectingLuxury.com FIRST! A few months ago while I was shopping in 5 different Hermes stores I knew something was off. After speaking to 5-6 different sales associates, it was confirmed. Since COVID-19 has impacted the labor of France, Hermes does not have the forces to produce more items for this 2021 year. From our very well known sources here in the USA, Hermes will not be supplying their boutiques with any more “Quota” (Birkin’s, Kelly’s & Constance’s) bags for the rest of the 2021 year.
What does that mean for anyone looking to purchase a special bag for the holidays?? Well, two things. One, there won’t be any new bags coming into Hermes USA boutiques for the remainder of the year (8 more weeks or so) and the prices will be increasing 10-15%. YES ANOTHER PRICE INCREASE! Since the bags are becoming more scarce at the boutiques, the third market for your bags will also increase. Yes the value of your Hermes Birkin’s, Kelly’s and Constance’s will go up in prices at the boutiques, the second and third markets will also be increasing their prices.
Did you see a favorite Hermes bag on a re-seller site that you have been waiting to buy? DONT WAIT ANY LONGER! Buy your bags today as tomorrow they could be sold out or even at a much higher price point.
Have you notice a SHORTAGE of products at you local Hermes boutique lately?? Were you hoping for a Hermes bag for the holidays?? COMMENT BELOW!!
