I have seen prices softening for regular leather on US websites, but not on European sites.
Oddly, the price for lizard bags is climbing, so maybe Lizard is the new popular exotic.
Luxury is still booming according to several of the major auction houses & unfortunately these
gimmicks are just a ploy for discussion
Resellers may be offering higher pay out prices to get "in demand" bags but the market will
dictate sooner or later what people are willing to spend & do agree I don't see prices
on H birkins ( 25 & 30 ) coming down..
My friend is in Paris now.. went to the Sevres store looking for very specific Petit H items
very low inventory & SA's were saying merchandise still coming in everyday in spite of it still
being August.. Demand is greater than supply & SA's are inundated with requests & texts
Beware - Scarf is back up on TRR at Excellent with NO noticeable SIGNS OF WEAR. I guess if you fold a scarf around your neck then......any holes, runs and stretched weaves are considered "not noticeable" and therefore a correct description?
Has anyone had experience purchasing from Covetthy/Birkin fairy on ebay?
She seems legit as you can find articles about the owner and a few posts found here but there's a bag i'm looking at which is slightly discounted on her ebay (versus covetthy.com) which is a bit weird to me - and the ebay shop isn't on Caroline Bui/birkin fairy's linktree, while the website is

Definitely beware of TRR for bags. I once purchased another brand handbag advertised as Very Good, but definitely was fair or good - I sold it for a $2.3K loss. Their shoes tend to be in great, virtually new condition, however.Beware - Scarf is back up on TRR at Excellent with NO noticeable SIGNS OF WEAR.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to purchase a Birkin from Annika Chicjoy, has anyone ever purchased from her before? She has exactly what I need, specs, size etc, please help I’m so scared and don’t want to be scammed! Thank you!

I have had great experiences with Caroline Bui/TheBirkinFairy/Covethy. She was my SA at Hermes for years and helped me buy my first Birkin about 17 years ago (ugh that makes me feel old.) She continued to help me build a wonderful collection and I 100% trust her and her advice. Since she left Hermes she has sourced items and sold items for me on the second hand market. She's a good one!
Hope this helps and happy to answer any other questions if you have them
Hi, did you end up purchasing? Just wondering if they are legit, looking to get a bag from them
I’m shocked by how much resale prices have fallen in individual sales on places like Facebook groups. B25s in like new condition can easily be found sitting around for under $20k (I’ve seen as low as $12k!) and even mini Kelly’s are struggling to sell at $19-20k as well.
@acrowcounted - is the hype dying off, or since H production is ramping up people start to receive bags from the boutique? Pure speculation of course.

I’m hoping that it’s resellers over saturating themselves.
I had a few bags valued recently by auction houses (Christies, Sothebys) for the fall sales, and while they gave me good valuations, they also did mention that in their view prices are now dropping on the smaller sizes, where in prior recent years it was 32, 35, and up that were dropping. (Scary aside, one house was offered so many Birkin 20s (not Faubourg) that they are no longer taking them...this bag has been out for a hot minute. ETA: this is for the Vert d’Eau color not the others. )

I have seen reputable resellers sell Birken/Kelly’s at very low price points now; most gen z are open to vintage on trend bags rather than Hermes.
