Hermès revenue growth, Birkin resale value, and continued demand for ultra-luxury handbags are once again making headlines. The French luxury house reported 9.8% fourth-quarter revenue growth for 2025, surpassing expectations and reinforcing its position as one of the most resilient brands in the global luxury market.
Strong U.S. & Japan Demand Drives Hermès Sales
Hermès saw particularly strong performance in the United States and Japan, where affluent consumers continue investing in iconic pieces such as the Hermès Birkin, Kelly, and silk scarves. Sales in the Americas delivered double-digit growth, highlighting sustained appetite for heritage craftsmanship and limited-supply luxury goods.
While many luxury brands are navigating softer demand, Hermès continues to outperform the broader sector thanks to its controlled production model, exclusivity, and loyal high-net-worth clientele.
Leather Goods Lead Growth
As expected, Hermès leather goods remained the primary growth engine. The Birkin and Kelly bags, consistently ranked among the most valuable luxury handbags on the resale market, continue to drive both primary and secondary market demand.
The brand announced earlier this year moderate price increases of approximately 5-6% in 2026, slightly below previous hikes. For collectors and investors, this reinforces a key reality: Hermès pricing power remains intact.
What Hermès’ Growth Means For The Resale Market
Strong financial performance from Hermès is more than just good news for shareholders, it has direct implications for the luxury resale market.
When primary market demand remains high and supply stays tightly controlled, resale values for coveted styles often remain strong. For owners of pre-owned Hermès handbags, this continued brand strength supports long-term value retention.
