Pre-owned Hermès Bags

What’s the next best thing to inheriting an heirloom luxury handbag from a beloved mother or aunt? Purchasing your own pre-owned Hermès bag! And when you buy it yourself, you can choose a bag that reflects your own taste and style. You get to embrace sustainability and pay homage to the extraordinary artisanship that makes these bags the most coveted on the planet.

Crafted with premium leathers, exquisite hardware, and meticulous artistry, Hermès bags are made to stand the test of time. Both new and pre-owned Hermès bags are highly desirable among collectors and can last for many decades with careful use. If you purchase a pre-owned Hermès purse, you can acquire a “rested”, that is a no longer produced, color or a highly desired limited edition handbag. Imagine getting a Kiwi or Rose Tyrien Birkin from the famed “Candy Collection” or an Osier wicker Kelly Bag from the coveted Picnic line or a Teddy Kelly in shearling? 

The timeless style keeps pre-owned Hermès handbags looking fresh even years after their release date. And the investment values continue to increase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the condition of pre-owned Hermès bags?

Pre-owned Hermès bags are available in a wide range of conditions, depending on whom you purchase them from. Madison Avenue Couture offers previously loved Hermès bags that were never worn and those in mint condition that have been worn just a few times but have no visible signs of wear and come with the original accessories and packaging. For vintage or extraordinarily rare bags, we occasionally offer pre-owned Hermès bags in excellent condition, meaning there are minor signs of wear. We scrutinize each bag, meticulously documenting the tiniest sign of wear and providing close-up photographs so you’ll always know the bag’s precise condition. 

How does Madison Avenue Couture authenticate its pre-owned Hermès bags?

At Madison Avenue Couture, we stand behind our authenticity guarantee. We have a team of expert Hermès authenticators on staff, and we collaborate with two distinct third-party authenticator services to ensure every bag we offer is 100% authentic. Shop our collection of new and previously loved bags with confidence.

Are original accessories and packaging included with pre-owned Hermès bags?

We offer our pre-owned Hermès bags complete with all the original packaging and inclusions in most cases. We detail each accessory on the product page. Any time a bag might be missing an item, like the plastic covering the hardware, we carefully disclose the omission on the bag’s product page.

How often are new pre-owned Hermès bags added to the collection?

We are privileged to work with an international network of individuals who offer their pre-owned Hermès bags for sale or consignment. We typically receive several new bags for this collection weekly, and our selection is constantly changing. 

Are there any care tips for maintaining the quality of pre-owned Hermès leather bags?

Care for your pre-owned Hermès leather bag as you would for a new luxury handbag. Protect it from the elements, and wipe the leather down using a microfiber cloth. Before storing the bag, empty its contents to avoid creating an imprint in the leather. Stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper to preserve its shape. Then, store it in a cool, dark, dry location.
