-Detailed explanation of the reason for price hike-
Regarding the reason for the price hike,
There are rising raw material costs and fluctuations in exchange rates,
More than double the price compared to the 1990s
Prices are currently being raised.
So why is there such a rise in prices?
I did a little research.
1) Demand and Supply
In recent years, demand for Hermes, especially Birkin, has been in the market.
Because of the growing trend,
The brand intentionally limits production numbers,
By maintaining rarity, you can improve the value of your brand
It is said to be maintained.
Meanwhile, demand is growing all over the world,
Due to the lack of balance between supply and demand,
This is causing prices to rise.
② Hermes's unique brand strategy
To maintain its rarity and luxury,
Prices are raised regularly.
Having a Birkin is
It is said to be a kind of status,
I want to have it as "asset value"
It is said that many people think about it.
The above is just an example,
Birkin prices are expected to continue to rise in the future.
The popular size of the Birkin is the Birkin 30.
The Birkin 35 is also a very popular item.
Currently, our company has one Birkin 30 and two Birkin 35.
