First off, let’s get this straight: finding *the* definitive “Hermes Kelly 25 price” is kinda like trying to find a unicorn wearing a Birkin. It *depends*. A lot. Like, *a lot* a lot. We’re talking leather type (Epsom? Togo? Butler Sellier Losanges, whatever *that* is?), hardware (Palladium, gold…your guess is as good as mine, honestly!), and *where* you’re buying it.
Okay, so from what I’m gleaning here, the Kelly 25 Sellier in Epsom leather is apparently sitting pretty at around $12,600. But wait for it… That’s *up* almost 7% from… well, it doesn’t actually SAY from when, but I’m assuming it means the beginning of 2024, or maybe even the end of 2023. Who knows with these guys? They keep it mysterious.
And here’s the kicker: the Mini Kelly 20 is ALSO going up next year (2025!) and they’re already charging a cool $10,000 for it. Honestly, at that point, are we even surprised? I mean, if you’re dropping that kind of cash on a *mini* bag, you’re probably not sweating the extra few hundred, right? Or maybe you are. I dunno. I’m not judging (much).
Now, Europe is a whole other ballgame. A Birkin 25 in Togo (which, side note, why are they all named after countries? Just a random thought…) and a Kelly 25 in Togo Retourne have different EU prices. I’m not even going to pretend I understand the *Retourne* vs. *Sellier* thing. Too much to keep track of!
But! Apparently, some folks in Europe got hit hard. The K25 Retourne in Togo went up a whopping 13%! Ouch. That’s gotta sting.
So, what’s the takeaway? Basically, if you’re lusting after a Kelly 25, be prepared to shell out some serious dough. Like, “new car” dough. And be prepared for the price to potentially be different depending on the day, the moon phase, and whether or not the Hermes gods are feeling generous.
My personal opinion? It’s a beautiful bag, no doubt. But is it *worth* that much? Honestly, probably not. But hey, if you’ve got the cash to burn and it makes you happy, who am I to say otherwise? Just… maybe don’t tell me how much you spent. My bank account might cry. And also, maybe get a financial advisor, just in case? Just sayin’.
