Autumn is the season when rich, calm colors take center stage and bring depth to your wardrobe.
In this article, we’ll take a close look at Hermès’ timeless classics as well as the brand’s new shades for 2025—highlighting the colors that shine most beautifully in fall.
We’ll also introduce hues that are attracting attention in the resale market, along with some useful tips on when to consider an upgrade.
Hermès offers a wide range of colors that are loved year-round, but among them are shades that stand out particularly well in autumn fashion.
Here, we introduce classic tones that enhance the season’s atmosphere while remaining versatile for long-term use.
Etoupe is a perfect balance between gray and brown—a versatile neutral that complements any outfit. It blends naturally with autumn’s calm tones and works beautifully for both business and casual styles.
In the resale market, Etoupe consistently maintains high popularity, especially in mini Kelly and Birkin bags, which tend to command stable, high prices.
A signature brown-based color that symbolizes Hermès, Gold combines elegance with practicality and adds warmth to autumn outfits.
It pairs exceptionally well with leather materials, developing a richer sheen the more it’s used—a charm that makes it uniquely your own over time.
In the resale market, it remains one of the top classic colors alongside Black and Etoupe.
Rouge H, known for its deep red tone, is a traditional Hermès color that has been cherished for generations.
Its understated yet refined hue makes it ideal for formal occasions or special ensembles.
As a staple red shade, it enjoys stable demand in the resale market and is especially popular among those who appreciate a classic, timeless look.
Black, the quintessential Hermès color, holds unwavering popularity across all seasons. When paired with autumn and winter materials like leather or wool, it creates an even more sophisticated impression.
Not only for bags but also for accessories such as belts and wallets, Black consistently ranks among the top-traded colors in the resale market.
Every year, Hermès introduces new seasonal colors that add charm to its bags and accessories. For 2025, a variety of distinctive new shades have been announced. From these, we’ve selected three colors that pair especially well with autumn fashion.
A clear red with a cool undertone—brighter and more vivid than Rouge H. It adds an accent to darker autumn and winter tones, creating a modern, urban mood. When used on bags such as the Picotin or Kelly, it instantly enhances their presence.
Inspired by mangrove forests, this deep grayish-green changes expression depending on the lighting and can appear nearly black in subdued settings. It pairs beautifully with autumn and winter outerwear and boots, evoking quiet sophistication and intelligence. When used for a Birkin or Kelly, it imparts an elegant impression.
A navy blue reminiscent of a necktie—combining sincerity with playfulness. It contains subtle hints of red and purple, offering individuality within a classic tone. This versatile color works equally well for business and casual wear, bringing refinement and balance to autumn and winter ensembles.
When selecting autumn colors from Hermès, it’s important not only to choose based on personal preference but also to consider the occasion and material compatibility. Here are some tips for making the right choice.
Even the same color can look quite different depending on the leather.
Since the impression of a color changes with the material, it’s best to try or view the actual piece in person.
For a bag you plan to use long-term, choose a classic color. To refresh your seasonal wardrobe, incorporating a limited seasonal shade creates the perfect balance.
