Hermès was first established in Paris by Thierry Hermès, creating harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Their logo of a horse and carriage reflects their roots. Over the years, Hermès has had a multitude of designers, many of who played pivotal roles in the company’s success. Since its inception in 1837, it has expanded to various high fashion clothing and accessories including ties, scarves, perfume, and handbags. The Kelly and Birkin are two well-known Hermès designs. Grace Kelly’s appearance with her bag in 1956 brought it wider attention. The Birkin grew from Jane Birkin’s chance airplane conversation with Jean-Louis Dumas. The exact model, size, material and accessories matter when comparing an individual bag with the resale market. Hermès has a long tradition of leather craftsmanship, from selecting and cutting materials to assembly and finishing. Construction differs by design and material. Our specialists assess the actual bag rather than relying on a fixed production-time story or assuming that every stitch or technique is identical. It’s clear to see why Hermès handbags are so well revered. Each bag truly is one-of-a-kind and our handbag experts will handle your bag accordingly. Hermès handbags are works of skillfully crafted art and will be tended to with the utmost care.

Sell Your Hermès Handbag For A Fast Cash Loan Prefer to redeem your Hermès bag later? Ask about a handbag collateral loan.

Accepted collateral is held securely while the loan is outstanding. Failure to meet the agreement can result in loss of the bag.

A Birkin, Kelly or other Hermès design needs a precise description before relevant resale comparisons can be considered. Include the model, approximate dimensions, material and color if known, along with the hardware and any removable strap or accessories. Do not guess the leather or species from appearance. Show the whole bag, its opening and construction clearly.
Receipts and service records can support the review, while the actual bag still needs examination before final authenticity and purchase decisions.
Bring the complete set and disclose changes
Bring original straps, lock and keys, clochette, dust bag, box and documentation if those belong with your bag. Tell us about replaced hardware, handle work, dye, cleaning, corner repairs and any factory service. Missing accessories, repairs and wear can affect different bags in different ways; there is no automatic percentage deduction that accurately describes every case.
Avoid trying to restore the bag yourself before the appointment. Clear information about what is original helps our team assess the item you are offering.
Examination before certainty
Our specialists examine the construction, materials, markings, hardware, interior and condition, and use the authentication process appropriate to the specific bag under our current policy. Photos can help us prepare but do not prove authenticity. A free verbal appraisal is distinct from authentication.
For a purchase or loan, any potential authentication fee is discussed and agreed before the authentication step begins, and payment follows successful authentication. Ask staff about the expected review time and any additional records your particular material may need.
Consider the transaction that suits you
A direct sale and a collateral loan have different purposes. If you want to redeem the same bag later, ask whether it is eligible and review written costs, dates and redemption requirements before deciding. You can visit SDJB at 907 6th Ave in downtown San Diego.
If you are farther away, contact the team before shipping, especially for unusual materials; they must confirm acceptance, documentation, shipping and insurance arrangements. Customers looking to purchase a bag should use our available retail inventory.
What if I do not know my Hermès leather or exact size?
Send clear overall photographs and approximate dimensions if available. Say that the material is unknown rather than guessing. The team can explain what information and physical examination are needed.
Should I include the lock, keys and removable strap?
Yes, if they belong to the bag and you still have them. Tell us what is included and bring original documentation. Completeness is part of the assessment, but an accessory or box does not authenticate the bag.
Can I ship a Hermès bag made from an unusual material?
Contact staff before shipping. Eligibility, documentation and shipment requirements must be confirmed for the actual material and route. Do not assume that general handbag shipping instructions apply to every bag.
