This eBook looks at some of the various bags made by this world renowned company and gives an indication of prices that these bags have obtained at auction houses in Europe and America. Prices will be stated in the currency of the country of the sale and will give the pound, dollar and euro wherever possible. Price obtained depends on the nature of the materials used. This could range from canvas, leather from the skin of a calf, goat or goat and other skins like ostrich, crocodile, lizard or alligator. They also use toile (canvas). Colour can determine the value also. Black and white may be more popular as they can be worn with most colour outfits whereas an orange colour may be more limited. But, is the case today? With prices rising rapidly for these very desirable works of art some people are buying them not to put their make-up, mobile phones and car keys in but to keep locked away as an investment for the future. Size may also determine the prices that are achieved at auction. For the bigger the bag the more it is desirable as it has more animal skin on them hence a higher price. There are also some handbags that are extremely sought after and these have real gold hardware and real diamonds on them. Naturally those which have real gold and diamonds attached to them will command higher prices and these prices have shocked many in the art world and made Hermes handbags one of the most sought after luxury items in the world.
