The popular Hermes Kelly bag is known for being a difficult bag to purchase, likewise for its sister bag the Brikin. However, with some digging, it is seen that a Kelly from 1959 is being sold for RM69,000.
Hermes is known as the King of Fashion, where their profits and revenue is similar to Gucci. However, the amount of money spent on their marketing is less than a quarter of Gucci’s. Their methods of selling a customer the bag is very strict and rigorous.
This would explain why a 60+ year old handbag is able to be sold at that price. For you to walk into an Hermes store, you’d have to spend an undisclosed amount of money to be able to buy the bag. It is also rumored that their Sales Associates do not make commissions on the Birkin and Kelly.
