Those are some pretty steep increases! I think it is really time for me to enjoy what I have because all those luxury prices are just not fun anymore. Thank you so much for the breakdown very good video
Thanks babe for this informative video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 it’s really shocking and sad to hear all the 📈📈numbers 😮😮 oh and congrats on ur recent beauty!! So glad for u that u managed to save a bit on her 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much for this and I love that you use spreadsheets for everything too! I’m still waiting for my quota bag from the SF store, but feel like it might happen this year. Would you mind sharing what you do for work? Thanks!
You are so welcome 😊! And I’m crossing my fingers and toes that it will happen for you soooon 🤞🏽And of course! I head up a marketing team that focuses on email, sms, and push notifications at an online learning company 🤓 In the past, I’ve done similar marketing work, but for other industries including beauty, fintech, and automotive. And in a past life, I actually started my career as a designer shoe buyer 🥰
I just purchased a Constance 18 in Box leather with Palladium hardware 2 weeks ago (2024 prices and not including tax) for $12,700 USD in the boutique. I was a little suprised when they rang it up, not sure what I thought it was going to be :) ......oh well, I love it!!
Hi Lily the price increase is something I’ve come to expect but it’s still egregious nonetheless! FYI..the garden party gets a bad rap! It’s a great tote bag! Great video and TFS 😊
You're so right-it's been a pretty steady increase for the last few years, but somehow, it doesn’t hurt any less 😢 lol. And I like the garden party too! Just feels a bit pricey IMO? 😅
I have 1 with a canvas and leather body and an all leather TPM. Brought the tpm by accident and thought it would be bigger 🤦♀️💆🏾But my bigger Garden Party is ❤chef’s kiss 💋
If they are made in the same way, with the same materials and the same technology, and are easily available, then this can save a lot of money for people who need to buy luxury bags frequently. *preluxz*
Hi Lily. I was waiting for this vid from you! Thanks a lot for the info. C18 was either $9250 or $9275 before sales tax when I purchased it in Dec 2024. I can't believe that the Della Cavaleria Elan increased so much. I bought it for either under $7K or exactly $7K when it came out. Got it in sesame color with perma brass hardware combo. A very versatile bag -can carry in many different ways. As my SA would say it's only a few $100's increase. LOL. It adds up when all other non bag items also have a price increase.
Aw yay so glad you enjoyed it 😊! What leather is your C18? That might account for the slight difference (the one I was referencing was Epsom, which I think is a bit cheaper than some other leathers). The Della Elan is gorgeous and does look like such a versatile bag-so happy you’re getting good use out of it 🙌🏽 The few hundreds are definitely adding up 😂😅!
@@LilyShopsmy c18 is in Epsom with perma brass hardware so maybe it’s the perm brass hardware that also makes the price difference? I can ask my SA when I see her unless you know.
No, it’s not a SO. I checked my receipt and it said something like Constance mirror mini III Epsom calfskin vert fonce perma brass $9,250. Will ask my SA when I see her in a few weeks.
I just spot checked a few wallets on the US site vs the screenshots I have on my phone of the same wallets from a recent wishlist video a few weeks ago, and right now they appear to be the same. But I’ve read that the increases roll out over several days, so I’d give it about a week before we can rest easy lol
Thanks for the breakdown Lily. You did all the math for me. 😂 I can’t say I am surprised by the increase. I saw Europe’s increases online days ago but I was waiting for the U.S. I noticed a lot of the ready to wear and some other items did not have an increase though.
You are so welcome, dearest 🤗! I've read that the price changes get rolled out for different houses over different days, so that might mean that some changes haven't hit yet 🙈 But hopefully some items just won't have one 🤞🏽
Hey Lily, just wanna let u know! The MOST crazy increase this time: Day Sneaker men with alligator Kelly strap from $1,600 to $2225 which is more than 39%!!!!!!
@ I know!! I’ve comparing ALL the price differences from the whole website. Despite the Apple Watch part and Women/Men ready to wear, everything went up and this particular one went up the most. I was supposed to send to my SA to order on Monday and she was off yesterday and realized last night the shoes prices all went up. Today Hermes closed due to the fire (yes I’m in LA) so I’m not being able to do that still but I’m guessing: all the Touch version actually went up a ton compared with “normal leathers”
Thank you for all the information! It takes a lot of work to gather information that is not necessarily readily available. I may have to go to the pre loved route, I still love Hermes and will buy items that I like, but I would rather travel and enjoy life with my family and friends.
😢 Picotin sadly did go up, but I only have EU prices. (I apologize, I forgot to say in the video that I wasn’t covering every single bag!) Picotin 18 in Clemence went from 2490 euros to 2600 euros (+ 110 euros or 4.4%). Picotin 22 in Clemence went from 2700 euros to 2800 euros (+100 euros or 3.7%). Sad!!
lol the Kelly depeches never move from the site yet they increased the price by $850! Glad I hit my SA up earlier this month, but maybe I’ll take a short break.
The prices for quota bags has been slowly coming down. With these boutique price increases, it’s becoming difficult to not just buy on the preloved market to get the exact size, leather and hardware combination you want.
@@LilyShops Yes! Maybe in USA more than here in Europe... it's getting kind of boring. Because I know everyone wanna have a bag but I don't hehehe and its losing the magic for me because now that Hermès realized they can increase the cost of other items because people are playing this "Hermès game" and they are not letting me place to enjoy the brand. What I actually do since idk, like 20 years. It's not expensive for me, its more than unnecessarily expensive and they don't have many things on the store and want me to buy what they offer.

Omg yes-box leather is quite pricey, but I had no idea it was that pricey! I’m sure it’s a stunner though 🤩
OMG!!! Would LOVE having it myself!!! ♥
Appreciate the prices… love your video
Aww yay, so glad you enjoyed it 😊!
Lovely video! Thank you !
🥰 Aww thank you dear! And you are so welcome!!

So weird! Definitely lmk what she says!
I wonder if prices for small leather goods have increased?

@ oh ok, I didn’t know that. I guess we will have to wait and see. Great video 🤗💕💕
I just bought a Fendi in dark red leather today at *preluxz* I have been weighing it in my head and I will use this video as a sign to buy it
I love that the 90 scarves just go up $40 every year since I've been buying them.
😅😅 Just a cool little extra $40. So wild!

So the picotin is safe?👀

The prices for quota bags has been slowly coming down. With these boutique price increases, it’s becoming difficult to not just buy on the preloved market to get the exact size, leather and hardware combination you want.
Pre-loved is looking very attractive! But now with the increased store prices, preloved prices usually increase around the same amount too 🫠🫠
Whether it is genuine or imitation, the one that suits you is the best, just like *preluxz*
Petit H increased 80% in some items….. that’s becoming unfair for me.
😳 Omg. WHAT. 🤯🤯🤯

It's not expensive for me, its more than unnecessarily expensive and they don't have many things on the store and want me to buy what they offer.
I totally respect that! If you don't like their stuff, you don't like it. There's no sense in buying things that don't bring you joy. 💛
@ I love some of their stuff but happens, that when u ask ur size or whatever, they never have it.
I can definitely relate to this!! It’s quite difficult to find things I like in the right size/color. Le sigh…
