Rumored 2026 Hermès Price Increase: Early Signs Point To A Big Jump For Bags

While price increases are not a welcome aspect of the luxury world, they are a constant. Most brands quietly (though publicity and fans’ comments can’t make it so quiet) raise prices yearly to account for inflation and growth. Typically, Hermès experiences a price increase at the start of each year. Still, unlike some of the other prominent luxury names, Hermès’ price increases of the past have been both expected and reasonable.

The rumor mill is swirling this morning after a post went live and has been widely shared since then, stating that the Hermès leather goods price hike, effective in January, will be 13%, while jewelry will experience an increase of between 8% and 16%.

New Rumored Prices for 2026

Because your mind probably works similarly to mine, you don’t have many questions aside from: what’s that going to mean for the bag I want? We calculated the current Hermès bag prices and applied the rumored 13% increase to determine the impact on the prices.

One other thought that customers have is how this increase will impact the Hermès pre-spend. The notion of the widely discussed pre-spend is that a client must buy a certain amount of other Hermès items before being offered a quota bag, such as the highly coveted Birkin or Kelly.

We will continue monitoring information on this price increase to see what officially comes of it. Currently, you can stay up to date with the active thread on the PurseForum discussing the Hermès 2026 price increase.
