Tuesday\u00a019\u00a0January at 12:00, Alice L\u00e9ger, specialist in the Artcurial Fashion &amp; Luxury Accessories department, will be presenting over sixty lots by the illustrious Herm\u00e8s marque, along with some beautifully crafted bags by such names as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dior. A sale comprising rare models such as a Birkin 35 in matte B\u00e9ton alligator and its orange smooth porosus crocodile equivalent, a Capucine bag in fox fur and a Mini Kelly Sellier in Cassis smooth alligator. Also available will be two Birkin Touch bags, one in Black Novillo leather and smooth niloticus crocodile and the other in Raisin Togo calfskin leather and Pruenoir matte alligator, boasting all the \u201cmust-have\u201d features: mini size, made with the combination of a precious skin and a more classic leather, and offered in plain, elegant colours.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Herm\u00e8s &amp; Luxury bags  \/ Monaco Auction Week \u2013 January 2021\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n1fWSZeszXA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Is it reasonable (supposing reason has a say in the matter) to buy a bag at auction worth between several thousand and several tens of thousands of euros? Yes, because its popularity is not determined by chance. SoBARNES has decided to make sure, thanks to the explanations of Alice L\u00e9ger, THE specialist in bags at Artcurial.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it that makes a handbag popular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alice L\u00e9ger: There are several criteria to consider. Firstly, you need to follow the trends. Currently, the smaller it is, the more it costs. Chiquito\u2019s success is linked to this phenomenon. As surprising as it seems, a 30cm Birkin bag is worth more than the same model in the classic 35cm size. The colour is also very important. Unlike the majority of customers, collectors are on the look-out for pastel or bright colours, and limited editions. The year it was made is relevant too. The newer it is, the more valuable. The simple fact that it was in the craftsman\u2019s hands just a few months ago adds value\u2026 Finally, the price also depends on the particular skins used. Currently, ostrich is popular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why has Artcurial made Herm\u00e8s one of its signature brands? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We were the first house to sell Herm\u00e8s accessories at auction and have developed a relationship of trust with this iconic luxury brand since then. In addition, Herm\u00e8s bags are the only ones to be worth more on re-sale than in store. They attract a great deal of speculation, and their owners are very aware of the value of what they are holding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the justification for this speculation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Herm\u00e8s brand represents French luxury more than any other. It\u2019s no small matter to buy a Herm\u00e8s bag. You need to be an existing customer to gain access to the leather goods. And be ready to go on a waiting list. Above all however, it is the quality that legitimises this ever-increasing popularity. It takes one individual craftsman ten days to make a Herm\u00e8s bag. The skins used are of exceptional quality, and far superior to those used by most other luxury brands. Finally, the Birkin and Kelly bags are used by 20 to 90-year olds. It is this cross-over of generations that is almost exclusively associated with this brand. During our Herm\u00e8s sales, I see a real mix of younger and older women. That\u2019s their strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your favourite piece in this auction? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This Quelle Idole (*), a Herm\u00e8s limited edition in orange, in Gulliver calfskin that is very smooth and soft to the touch.
