Hermès Birkin Price Guide 2025: U.S. vs. EU

Thinking about trying your luck at scoring an Hermès Birkin? Perhaps not the original holy-grail that is currently being auctioned by Sotheby’s, but a brand-new bag from the boutique? Well, if so, you’re probably wondering what the latest prices are looking like. And here’s the thing: this year, there’s been an unexpected event. Basically, instead of the usual once-a-year price increase, Hermès hit the U.S. market with two hikes, with the most recent one happening in early May. The brand says tariffs are to blame, but either way, it means the prices from January are already outdated. But fear not, as I’ve already got my hands on the latest Hermès Birkin prices for 2025 in both Europe and the U.S. So, if you’re looking to buy the Birkin bag anytime soon, keep scrolling.

U.S. Hermès Birkin Prices (June 2025)

When word first got out about the May 2025 price hike for Hermès in the U.S., the rumor was that prices were jumping a full 10%. But did they really go up that much? Well, see below for yourself!

Hermès Birkin Bag Style	Price in USD (January 2025)	Current price in USD (June 2025)	Price Increase (%)
Birkin 25 Togo	$12,100	$12,700	4.96%
Birkin 25 Epsom Sellier	$12,700	$13,300	4.72%
Birkin 25 Barenia Faubourg	$13,300	$13,900	4.51%
Birkin 25 Cargo	$19,200	unknown	unknown
Birkin 25 Shiny Crocodile Porosous	unknown	$63,100	unknown
Birkin 30 Togo	$13,300	$13,900	4.51%
Birkin 30 Box Sellier	unknown	$20,000	unknown
Birkin 35 Togo	$14,300	$14,900	4.20%

As shown in the table above, the Birkin 25 in Togo leather now retails for $12,700—a 5% increase from the January price of $12,100. The larger sizes saw slightly smaller jumps: the Togo Birkin 30 is now $13,900, and the Birkin 35 is $14,900, which means an increase of around 4.2% to 4.5%. So overall, if you’re eyeing a Togo Birkin in 2025, expect to spend anywhere from $12,700 to $14,900, depending on the size.

Still a pretty steep jump, right? But hey—it could have been worse. In fact, if the 10% rumor had come true, we’d be talking about nearly 15% in total increases for the year (considering the bump that already happened back in January).

So, with all of these price hikes, the natural question comes: maybe it’s better to buy the bag abroad? Well, if you are going to Paris this summer, you may as well try your luck there, as Hermès only had one price hike in Europe this year. Find the latest Birkin bag prices in Europe below.

Hermès Birkin Bag Prices in Europe (June 2025)

Hermès Birkin Bag Style	Current Price in EUR (June 2025)
Birkin 25 Togo	€8,950
Birkin 25 Epsom Sellier	€9,350
Birkin 25 Alligator	€44,200
Birkin 30 Togo	€9,800
Birkin 30 Barenia	€13,200
Birkin 35 Togo	€10,600

As you can see from the table above, Hermès Birkin 25 in Togo currently goes for €8,950 in Europe. In dollars, this is $9,755.50 (assuming an average 2025 exchange rate of 1 EUR = 1.09 USD). Thus, by simply purchasing the handbag abroad you are saving up a total of $2,944.50 compared to the U.S. retail price of $12,700. And let’s not forget that non-EU buyers can also claim a so-called VAT refund (around 10 percent in France after filing the paperwork), which would bring the effective price down even more to approximately $8,780, meaning total savings of around $3,920.

Important! When bringing a Hermès Birkin 25 from Europe into the U.S., you’ll likely need to pay some import duties, depending on the bag’s value. U.S. Customs typically allows a personal exemption of up to $800, meaning that the first $800 of your purchase is duty-free. However, anything above that amount is subject to import tax. For leather handbags like the Birkin, the duty rate typically falls around 9% of the declared value. So, if your bag costs approximately $9,755 (before any VAT refund), you can expect to pay import duties on about $8,955, which comes out to roughly $806.
