Even if you factor in shipping, duties, and a little markup, the same bag without the logo would cost around $5,390.
Same leather. Same stitching. Same craftsmanship.
Just... no Hermès branding.
But here’s the kicker — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲̀𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.
Why?
Because they’re not paying for the bag.
They’re paying for what the bag represents.
That “H” isn’t just a logo. It’s quiet power.
It signals status, exclusivity, and access — all without saying a word.
It says, “I belong to a world you probably don’t.”
The product is luxury.
But the real value?
Perception.
And perception, in that world, is everything.
