INVESTING IN HERMES WITH LUXURY-GARAGE-SALE

The Birkin Fairy has recently had the pleasure of working along side the well-established personal shopping service, Luxury Garage Sale.

We have discussed product and insight to convey the true value of the Hermes Birkin bag.

There is something mystical about an Hermès piece. Recent comparisons between Birkins and the stock market have shed a new light on the upscale brand. Hermès handbags are now viewed as an investment, not just a purchase. This new perception is supported by the company’s outstanding value, averaging an annual increase of 14.2%, whereas stock returns average 11.7%. Understanding how value is calculated for different Hermès pieces will ensure you make the most informed investment. Here’s what you need to know:
