The year 2015 marked another significant chapter in the illustrious history of the Hermès Birkin bag. While specific pricing and availability details from an "official Birkin Bag website" are nonexistent (Hermès famously doesn't operate an online store for its most coveted pieces), 2015 saw the continuation of the bag's legendary status, its enduring appeal, and the persistent, almost mythical, demand that continues to define it. The year didn't bring about drastic design changes, but rather a refinement of existing styles and a continuation of the meticulous craftsmanship that has cemented the Birkin's position as the ultimate status symbol. This article delves into the world of the Hermès Birkin bag in 2015, exploring its various iterations, price points (bearing in mind the complexities of pricing), and the enduring allure that continues to captivate collectors and fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
The $117.00 figure mentioned is drastically inaccurate and misleading. Authentic Hermès Birkin bags, even in 2015, never retailed anywhere near that price. This figure likely refers to a counterfeit or a drastically misrepresented item. The actual retail price of a Birkin in 2015 varied considerably depending on size, leather type, hardware, and color. A new Hermès Birkin bag's price in 2015 could range from several thousand dollars to well over $20,000, depending on the aforementioned factors. The secondary market, where pre-owned Birkins are sold, saw even more significant price fluctuations, often exceeding the original retail price many times over.
Let's explore some of the specific variations mentioned:
Hermes Birkin 25 with Strap: The Birkin 25, a popular size, was, and remains, a highly sought-after model. The inclusion of a strap adds to its versatility, allowing for shoulder or crossbody carry. In 2015, this style would have been available in a multitude of leathers, colors, and hardware finishes. The choice of strap itself could also influence the overall price; a more luxurious strap material would naturally command a higher price. The "new Hermes Birkin bags price" in 2015 for a 25cm Birkin with a strap would have reflected the materials and specifics of the bag. A simple black Togo leather Birkin 25 with a standard strap would have been considerably less expensive than a Birkin 25 in a more exotic leather like crocodile or ostrich, with gold or palladium hardware.
Hermes Birkin 25 Gold Togo: The "Hermes Birkin 25 gold Togo" represents a specific configuration of the bag. Togo leather, known for its durable and slightly pebbled texture, is a popular choice for its resistance to scratches and its luxurious feel. The gold hardware adds a touch of opulence, making this particular combination highly desirable. The price of a Birkin 25 in gold Togo leather in 2015 would have been significantly higher than a similar bag in a more common color and hardware combination, such as black hardware on black Togo leather. The rarity of the gold hardware and the timeless elegance of the gold against the Togo leather made this a highly coveted piece.
