Where Bespoke Luxury Meets Timeless Elegance
Our Story: A Passion Born from Perfection
Hermes Special Order began with a singular vision: to connect discerning collectors with the world’s most extraordinary bespoke handbags. What started as a personal fascination with the artistry behind Hermès Horseshoe Stamp creations has evolved into a dedicated platform serving luxury enthusiasts worldwide.
We understand that owning an HSS bag represents more than acquiring a luxury accessory—it’s about possessing a personalized masterpiece that tells your unique story. Each custom Birkin and Kelly bag in our collection carries the prestigious horseshoe stamp, a symbol that resonates with those who appreciate true craftsmanship and exclusivity.
What We Do
Hermes Special Order specializes in curating authenticated HSS handbags from trusted sources globally. Our focus centers on three pillars:
Authentication Excellence
Every bag undergoes rigorous authentication processes to ensure you receive a genuine Hermès creation. We verify the horseshoe stamp placement, craftsmanship quality, materials, and provenance documentation.
Rare Collection Access
We source hard-to-find bi-color combinations, exotic leather variations, and limited customizations that are no longer available through official channels. Our network provides access to vintage HSS pieces and contemporary creations alike.
Expert Guidance
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or beginning your luxury handbag journey, our team provides personalized consultation. We share insights on color combinations, leather characteristics, hardware options, and investment potential.
Why Special Order Bags Matter
Hermès Special Order bags represent the pinnacle of personalized luxury in the handbag world. Unlike mass-produced items or even standard Birkin and Kelly bags, HSS creations are individual works of art commissioned by elite clientele and crafted by master artisans.
These bags feature customizations rarely seen in regular production: contrasting leather interiors, unique color pairings, exotic skin combinations, and personalized hardware finishes. The horseshoe stamp—discretely placed beside the Hermès insignia—serves as a mark of distinction, signifying that this piece was made exclusively for one client’s specifications.
For collectors, HSS bags offer something truly irreplaceable: originality. No two bags are identical. Your bi-color Kelly in Rose Confetti and Craie with brushed gold hardware exists nowhere else on Earth. This singularity makes Special Order pieces particularly valuable both emotionally and financially.
Our Values
Integrity First
Transparency guides every transaction. We provide complete disclosure about each bag’s condition, history, and authentication status. Our reputation depends on the trust our clients place in us.
Passionate Expertise
Our team consists of devoted Hermès enthusiasts who stay current with HSS trends, rare color releases, and market valuations. This knowledge ensures you receive accurate information and fair pricing.
Client-Centered Service
Your collecting goals drive our efforts. We listen carefully to understand your preferences, budget, and timeline, then work diligently to locate bags that exceed your expectations.
Discretion Always
We respect your privacy completely. All transactions are handled with confidentiality, and we never share client information or purchase details without explicit permission.
Our Collecting Philosophy
We believe that building a handbag collection should be a joyful, enriching experience. Rather than pressuring clients toward quick decisions, we encourage thoughtful consideration of each piece.
The beauty of HSS bags lies in their diversity. Some collectors seek neutral bi-colors that complement any wardrobe. Others pursue bold exotic leathers that make powerful statements. Many appreciate rare hardware finishes like permabrass or rose gold. We celebrate all collecting approaches and help you discover what resonates with your personal aesthetic.
Quality always supersedes quantity in our view. We’d rather help you acquire one perfectly-suited HSS Kelly than rush you into purchasing multiple bags that don’t truly excite you. Patience often rewards collectors with their dream pieces.
Understanding the HSS Market
The secondary market for Special Order bags has flourished in recent years, driven by increasing demand from collectors who recognize the rarity of these pieces. HSS bags typically retain strong value because their limited availability and unique characteristics appeal to luxury enthusiasts globally.
Certain factors influence desirability significantly. Exotic leathers like alligator and crocodile command premium prices due to their rarity and visual impact. Discontinued color combinations become more sought-after over time. Pristine condition matters immensely, as does complete documentation including order forms when available.
We track market trends continuously to ensure our pricing remains competitive and fair. Our clients benefit from this research when both buying and selling HSS bags through our services.
Our Authentication Process
Authentication forms the foundation of everything we do. Each bag undergoes comprehensive evaluation by our trained specialists who examine:
- Stamp Verification: Confirming authentic horseshoe placement and correct date code formatting
- Leather Analysis: Assessing texture, grain patterns, and characteristics specific to each leather type
- Construction Quality: Inspecting stitching consistency, hardware attachment, and structural integrity
- Hardware Examination: Verifying authentic finishes, weight, and proper engraving details
- Interior Inspection: Checking lining materials, pocket construction, and stamp placement
- Documentation Review: Evaluating any accompanying receipts, order forms, or certificates
We never compromise on authentication standards. If any aspect raises questions, we consult additional experts or decline to offer the piece. Your confidence in your purchase matters above all else.
The Client Experience
Working with Hermes Special Order should feel personal and pressure-free. We begin by learning about your collecting interests, preferred styles, color preferences, and budget parameters. This conversation helps us identify pieces that align with your vision.
When we locate potential matches, we provide detailed photographs, condition reports, and pricing information. Take whatever time you need to review these details and ask questions. We’re happy to arrange additional images or video viewings for serious inquiries.
Once you decide to proceed, we handle logistics efficiently. We arrange secure shipping with full insurance coverage and provide tracking information throughout transit. Upon arrival, you’ll have an opportunity to inspect your bag thoroughly. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
Building Community
Beyond transactions, we strive to foster connections among HSS enthusiasts. The world of Special Order bags attracts passionate individuals with fascinating stories about their collections. We love facilitating these conversations and celebrating each other’s finds.
We regularly share educational content about HSS history, customization options, care recommendations, and market developments. Our blog and social media channels serve as resources for both experienced collectors and newcomers exploring this captivating niche.
Your insights enrich our community tremendously. We welcome you to share your collecting journey, favorite bags, and lessons learned along the way.
Sustainable Luxury
The secondary market for luxury handbags plays an important role in sustainability. By extending the lifecycle of exceptional pieces, we reduce demand for new production while preserving craftsmanship heritage.
HSS bags are particularly well-suited to this model. Their superior construction ensures decades of reliable use when properly maintained. The timeless designs transcend fleeting trends. Investing in pre-loved Special Order pieces represents both smart collecting and environmentally conscious luxury.
We encourage clients to view their HSS bags as heirloom pieces that can be cherished across generations, maintaining beauty and functionality far into the future.
