What’s harder than scoring a Hermès Birkin? Securing the pieces that exist in an even rarer stratosphere, from blue-lined boxes and special orders to limited editions and exotic leathers that rarely come to market. These are the Hermès bags in shades and finishes collectors wait years to see, the Kellys crafted in rare colors or one-off combinations, the ultra-exclusive exotics that turn heads the moment they appear.
Featured in Heritage Auctions’ upcoming Luxury Accessories Signature Auction, this collection brings together some of the rarest and most coveted Hermès bags, giving collectors the chance to bid on pieces that are as remarkable as they are desirable. These treasures won’t linger – bidding is live now and closes October 9, 2025. Register to bid today to secure one of these extraordinary Hermès bags before it’s gone.
Ultra-Rare & Unmissable
They say the best things come in orange boxes—but what about blue-lined boxes? Limited Edition and ultra-rare Hermès bags take collecting to the next level. Whether you favor the playful Kelly Doll or the plush Teddy Minis that make a winter wardrobe pop, they’re guaranteed to turn heads and spark envy wherever they go. For a more subtle look, there are intricate pieces like the artistic In and Out Kelly or the detailed Ghillies Birkin, each showcasing Hermès’ skill, imagination, and mastery of design.
Bespoke & Coveted
Some know them as Special Orders, others as Horseshoe Bags—either way, they’re among the most coveted pieces in the world of Hermès. Whether your taste leans toward exotic textures or bold color combinations—think Bleu Electrique paired with Rose Azalée—or more understated neutrals, dreams of a Special Order can be satisfied here, without the wait. This auction brings together a collection of already-created Special Order masterpieces, each stamped with the iconic Horseshoe seal of Hermès approval and seeking its next home with a collector ready to appreciate its bespoke charm.
Exotics That Turn Heads
Hermès exotics are bold, rare, and impossible to ignore. This is the realm of the crème de la crème, where the ultimate grails like the Himalayan Crocodile make jaws drop, and even the more understated pieces carry just a touch of exotic flair. Statement-making brights come alive in Alligator and Crocodile, while Ombre Salvator Lizard elevates even the most neutral of collections. For collectors chasing the rarest textures and the boldest finishes, this exotic selection delivers in spades.
Once They’re Gone, They’re Gone
Hermès bags no longer in production are the stuff of collector dreams—pieces you’ll never see in a boutique again. Think Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic Kelly Longue and So Kelly alongside the Kelly Ado, designed by Rena Dumas, or playful favorites like the Bolide Secret. Steeped in the Maison’s history, these retired treasures are full of personality, clever details, and timeless style, and they deserve to live on beyond the archives.
Not Your Average Noir
Noir, aka black—these bags are anything but basic. While a standard Black Birkin is already far from ordinary, the beyond-basic black Hermès designs take it to a whole new level. From fringe-detailed Anate Birkins to Shiny Niloticus and Porosus Crocodile Birkins, Clouté Mini Kellys, and vintage Alligator Sellier Kellys, these pieces elevate black to an art form. Sleek, dramatic, and undeniably luxurious, they prove that even in black, Hermès never does ordinary.
