Liu Luanxiong, the husband of Gambie, known as the "first sister of Hermès in Hong Kong", took his 76 Hermes to Sotheby's for auction a few days ago.
Before the auction results came out, passers-by couldn't help but eat melons, saying that Da Liu was tightening his pockets? Some people also say that "if you really take Hermes as gold, it would be nice to be able to sell the original capital back."
Just when the spectators couldn't eat lemon and said citric acid, the deal not only went through in one go, but also set a record for the highest transaction price ever sold for a Sotheby's auction bag in Hong Kong, and the money obtained could easily buy two houses (70 square meters) on the second ring road of Beijing.
About 2187w RMB
One of the most expensive green crocodile skins, Birkin, sold for nearly 133w yuan.
However, the high price of Bao Wang should be sold, and what surprised me was that the price of the two animals in front of me was several times higher than the price estimated by experts.
This not only slapped the face of netizens, but also once again confirmed the status of "Hermes really deserves the ceiling of value". At the same time, there is also a logic of rich people's investment handbags: hard currency with high value preservation can always pull you ashore at critical moments, and this powerful attribute that can be realized at any time may be far more reliable to some extent than human feelings in reality.
But it does not mean that as long as Hermès handbags will maintain their value, if you want to quickly buy a high cash rate model, you must also understand these tips.
First of all, in terms of style, this point is actually easy to identify. Hermès' explosive camp is very fixed, and everyone recognizes the most, so you can buy the veteran classic BKC and four tigers:
Don't buy basic items like Picotin, Garden, Evelyne, Herbag. After all, the veteran classic models are the most popular king-fried handbags on the market, which belong to the handbag cash cow that can be cashed out at any time, and although the liquidity of the entry-level model is also strong, the price is not high.
Moreover, the new models launched by Hermes in recent years are also poorly value-maintained, mainly because the previous classic models are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the new bag type does not have a long brand history, like the following two main models are now in the second-hand market are priceless.
Many seasonal derivative models are also not related to value preservation, such as Kelly ADO released in the 90s and Kelly to Go, which is still out now, all due to the previous lack of creativity, the package shape is conservative or too followed, and many styles have finally become scraps that will sink into the sea for a while.
Although the value preservation is direct and simple from the style point of view, it is also unfair, because it may mean that one day there will be a new model precipitated after a burst of fire to become a high-value classic model, and then individual derivatives are also value preservation, if you want to get the value of his handbag steadily, then you have to look further at the details.
In terms of color matching, Hermès color can be said to be a textbook for value preservation.
First of all, the most expensive color of Pupiri is 3Q cherry blossom pink, but this color combination is undesirable:

Usually in a broad sense on the market, everyone recognizes that the retention rate of diamond color is much greater than that of seasonal color. Like the traditional Big Three:
And the four diamond colors of milkshake white that have emerged in recent years, are loved by everyone because of the color matching is attractive and not picky, in the second-hand transfer market, their price is also able to beat, and the recycling price is the same as the public price all year round.
Of course, diamond color usually takes time and time to buy, if you want to get started quickly, you may wish to choose the following colors.
On the contrary, the seasonal color is generally a variety of bells and whistles of high saturation color, which belongs to the color matching that I thought was good at the time and regretted not being the first two days after starting. The candy color system produced by Hermès in 11 years belongs to the price of high and low prices, when the price once soared over King Kong, but now it is sold less and less. This also proves once again that color matching that can withstand the consideration of time is the real value preservation hand.
If the material is rarer, the color matching has a greater impact on the value retention of the handbag. In the case of crocodile skin, the value of diamond color is higher than that of popular colors (some low-saturation colors) and dark colors.
But there are exceptions, some highly saturated unpopular colors are stronger than the previous three colors in monetization. Liu Luanxiong's auction of several Hermes crocodile skins this time can sell for high prices is due to many unpopular and rare color schemes. (ps: It is said that most of them are still ex-wife Bao Yongqin)
Including his current wife Gambie, there are also many unpopular rare color crocodile skin Birkin. On the surface, this seems to be a big Liu nouveau riche, and he will give rare colors whenever he encounters people, but at a deep level, he has been able to use high-value colors to set up chess for the future when he managed his marriage in the early days, which is also his confidence that he can still stand up after encountering difficulties.
Some gradient colors are also expensive, such as the white Himalayan BKC and the style with the primary color lizard, the color of this handbag requires craftsmen to spend a lot of time through a special process from the middle to the sides to make the gradient effect.
Moreover, the value retention of Hermes handbags can also be seen through the material, which is also key and useful for ordinary people.
In the choice of Hermes Pu leather, you only need to remember the following value-preserving formula:
Pupi Value Preservation Tips
Togo>TC>Epsom>Fjord>Box>Barenia Nayural>Evercolor>Swift
Togo won the first place because this material looks like pebbled, the particles are large and stiff, and it does not deform over time, which is the most popular and common material of Hermes. As for the popular E skin, it is heavier and tougher than Togo, but the value retention of the two is not much different, and the diamond color is about a thousand yuan. The Swift row is last due to low cost and poor durability. Therefore, if you want the handbag not to be damaged, you still have to try to pick the king material in front.
As for rare skins, everyone must also know that crocodile skins have the strongest monetization ability.
Today I mainly want to share with you that crocodile skin as a value-preserving champion, there are many subdivisions in this type of material alone, such as the Bay Crocodile's value-preserving ability is higher than that of the American crocodile and the Nile crocodile, that is because its scales are small and dense, and the process of making handbags is the most complicated, and each scale has a small pores that maintain the durability of handbags, which is also superior to similar materials.
But this is only the traditional crocodile skin value preservation three musketeers, last year his family has a new crocodile skin called Petten crocodile, this material has an inverted V pattern while also a beautiful Nile crocodile bamboo pattern, to put it simply, the above three crocodile skin materials advantages are combined together, the natural value is also multiplied.
Looking further, we will find that all Hermès collectible-grade handbags with strong circulation and high value on the market are all "material masters" without exception.
For the ceiling level handbag Hermès White Snow House, which can be exchanged for a single suite of one bag, the current recycling price has reached 200w+.
Its body material uses three materials, the main material is 8L glacier white matte crocodile leather, known as the little Himalayan crocodile skin, which is no less expensive than the world's most expensive Himalayan crocodile leather, not to mention that the patchwork material is unique to the white house.
To achieve this level is a very test of craftsmanship, the whole production process is purely handmade, even the craftsman will use a double magnifying glass when sewing the handbag, which is why it is so difficult to buy, it is said that the distribution is the most exaggerated when it has soared to 400w, only the super VIP in the VIP is eligible to enter.
There are also Bikrin Picnic, which is made of weaving and leather, and the nearly extinct feather material, and 10 Bikrin models are all models whose prices are increasing because of the special material.
In addition to the three aspects I mentioned above to see the value retention of Hermes handbags, there are some small points that are also referenced.
For example, look at the color of the hardware, the diamond buckle is larger than the gold buckle, and the gold buckle is always worth more than the silver buckle; In terms of size, the smaller the value, the more value is maintained; In terms of engraving, the horseshoe print is larger than the pentagram is larger than the shooting star is greater than the S engraving, to know that Hermès high-end players are looking at the engraving, generally the horseshoe print represents the private customization of VIP guests, the pentagram refers to the top craftsmen with more than 20 years of service experience, and the meteor print is a gift from Hermès to employees, and the S seal is not for sale.
Or say that the rich people represented by Liu Luanxiong have strong funds, just from the pit Hermès can be seen, don't look at a handbag, inside from the style to the color, material every link has a small skill to maintain value, once you master these, the key moment is real cash flow. Of course, buying rare skins at every turn is somewhat superior to us ordinary people, but it is still necessary to pick the right style, understand the color and material, so as not to spend money in vain.
