Unlike the retail price, the resale value fluctuates: the willingness to pay depends heavily on the condition and rarity of the bag and is, not least, subject to the dynamics of current trends. However, the value increase of the Birkin bag only becomes more apparent when you take pricing on the secondary market into account. In the early 2000s, for example, the Birkin bag would have cost around €4,000 in-store. The retail price is set by Hermès itself (and experience shows that it is increased annually).

Plus a certain hype in pop culture manifested its reputation as the most famous handbag in the world – from celebrity collectors like Kylie Jenner and Victoria Beckham to dedicated storylines in Sex and the City.
