Hermès has gone a long way from producing harnesses and bridles. Since the brand introduced its first leather handbags in 1922, the company has continued to climb the ranks of the fashion world and achieved its luxury status within a few years.

Today, Hermès stands as an epitome of luxury, boasting meticulous craftsmanship and unrivaled quality, ensuring every piece is a testament to timeless elegance.

With famous celebrities, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Jane Birkin, Grace Kelly, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, proudly proclaiming their love for this brand, you can’t help but look at the collections of pre-owned designer bags in Dubai and buy your own Hermès bag and other accessories. 

Best Hermès Pieces to Splurge On

Below are some of the popular Hermès pieces worth investing in to elevate your wardrobe and style: 

1.   The Birkin Bag

Jane Birkin is one of the few celebrities lucky enough to inspire a famous designer brand to create and name a bag after them.

The Birkin is the result of a collaboration between Jane Birkin and then Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on an Air France flight. During the journey, the star persuaded the company head to create a bag with more functionality.

The original Birkin was luxurious yet not too flashy and devoid of noticeable logos. It featured a semi-structured body, two handles and clou or feet at the bottom. It also has a turn lock closure with a functional accompanying padlock and key.

Today, the Hermès Birkin comes in various colors and materials. It has four different sizes, namely Birkin 25, Birkin 30, Birkin 35, and Birkin 40, the original size.

The Birkin 25, which is the smallest bag, can fit your wallet, phone, keys and small must-have items, making it a worthy addition to your bag collection.

Regardless of the size you choose and whether you opt for a new or pre-owned Birkin, it is one of the timeless Hermès bags that can elevate any outfit you’re wearing. 

2.   The Kelly Bag

Like the Birkin, the Kelly bag has a fascinating history. This accessory was designed by Robert Dumas in the 1930s and originally named Petit Sac à Courroies.

This bag was larger than the others of the era, allowing ladies to carry more items wherever they went. It had a trapezium shape with a swivel clasp. It also featured a flap closed in by a couple of side straps. 

The bag gained global recognition when Grace Kelly showcased it in her classic film, To Catch a Thief. The actress loved it so much that she continued wearing it even after filming wrapped up.

Since then, the bag continued to climb in popularity and in 1977, Hermès officially renamed it the Kelly.

This highly coveted bag comes in two styles: Kelly Sellier and Kelly Retourne.

The Kelly Sellier is a more rigid, structured and formal-looking bag with visible stitching and pointy edges.

On the other hand, the Kelly Retourne is made of supple leather and has less noticeable stitching and soft edges. Because of these qualities, it has a more casual look.

This bag comes in different sizes, ranging from Kelly 15, the smallest, to Kelly 50, the biggest.

If you’re looking for a bag to pair with your classy outfits for formal events, the Hermès Kelly is your best option. 

3.   Rodeo Charm

Hermès pays homage to its equestrian heritage with its collection of fascinating, high-end Rodeo bag charms.

These horse-shaped charms are usually made of Milo lambskin, making them super smooth and supple. Although these accessories have the same shape, they come in various designs and sizes.

Some charms feature only one color while others have three or four hues for the horse’s body, mane, saddle and strap. The Rodeo collection also includes a steed with wings and one with real horsehair. These charms will effortlessly elevate your Hermès and other bags and give them a whimsical touch. 

4.   Scarf

If you’re looking for an accessory you can wear with both your casual and formal outfits, splurge on a Hermès scarf.

Since 1937, Hermès scarves have caught the eye of every woman with an eye for high fashion.

There are over a thousand styles of Hermès scarves in circulation. They come in various colors, designs, materials and sizes.

Its most popular materials are silk and cashmere.
