In this article, we break down the 2025 resale market by size, highlight the most popular colors that fetch higher prices, and explain the difference between direct buyback and consignment sales.

Hermès Evelyne: Basics and Why It’s So Popular

The Hermès Evelyne first appeared in 1978 as a practical shoulder bag originally designed to carry horse grooming tools. Its signature “H” perforation on the front adds a subtle yet unmistakable Hermès touch.


What makes the Evelyne stand out is its lightweight, crossbody design and casual ease—perfect for everyday use. Unlike the formal Birkin or Kelly, it’s a real-life, versatile Hermès favorite.


The Evelyne comes in several sizes, each catering to different needs:

  1. TPM (Mini): Compact and perfect for essentials. Highly popular with younger buyers, its resale value has been rising recently.
  2. PM: The classic everyday size.
  3. GM: Fits A4 documents, popular for work and with men. Limited availability on the secondhand market.
  4. TGM: The largest size, ideal for travel or business, also popular as a men’s style.

Loved by all ages and lifestyles, the Evelyne is gaining attention as a valuable asset—especially the TPM, which has seen notable price increases.


Hermès Evelyne Price Guide [2025 Edition]

Hermès Evelyne prices vary widely depending on size and material. Here’s the latest tax-included retail price reference as of 2025.


※The prices listed here are reference retail prices as of 2025 and may vary depending on the sales period, region, and exchange rates. The TGM (size 40) is currently limited in official release, so no official price is available.


The standout model right now is the TPM (mini) Amazone line. Its compact, lightweight design and removable strap have made it especially popular with younger buyers. In fact, it’s become increasingly hard to find at official stores lately.


Retail prices are usually revised once or twice a year, often rising by tens of thousands of yen compared to the original purchase price. This has a big impact on resale values as well.

Which Evelyne Colors Sell for the Highest Prices?

With Hermès bags, resale values can vary significantly by color—even within the same model. The Evelyne is no exception. Popular and rare colors often boost appraisal prices.


Top stable colors that sell well:

  1. Etoupe: A versatile greige shade that pairs beautifully with Taurillon leather. It’s consistently a favorite.
  2. Black (Noir): A classic, timeless choice loved by all ages and genders, making it a resale staple.
  3. Gold: Elegant and noticeable without being flashy, this shade appeals across generations.

These three are considered the “big three” popular colors and usually earn extra points during appraisals.


Colors That Gain Popularity with the Seasons and Trends

Seasonal accent colors and limited editions can also fetch higher resale prices:

  1. Blue shades (like Bleu France, Bleu Zanzibar): Popular in spring and summer, their bright hues appeal especially to younger buyers.
  2. Pink and Rouge tones (such as Rose Sakura, Rouge Kazak): Feminine colors that pair beautifully with the TPM size.
  3. Limited edition and discontinued colors: Rare or seasonal colors no longer in production often lead to premium appraisals.

Color plays a crucial role in resale value—popular and limited colors tend to earn higher prices, making them key selling points.


Material matters too:

Taurillon Clemence is the classic, most sought-after material for the Evelyne, while other materials like Epsom or Toile Ash also impact appraisal value.


3 Tips to Maximize Your Hermès Evelyne’s Resale Value

The Evelyne is a popular model, but even the same bag can fetch different prices depending on how you sell it and how well you prepare. Here are three key tips to help you get the best price possible.


1. Keep Your Bag in Great Condition (Avoid Deformation, Scuffs & Sun Damage)

Condition is one of the biggest factors in appraisal value. Since the Evelyne mainly uses soft Taurillon leather, watch out for:

  1. Shape loss or deformation
  2. Scuffs on the bottom and corners
  3. Surface scratches or sun fading
  4. Interior stains from sunscreen, foundation, or pen marks

Use bag pillows or stuffing to maintain its shape and store it away from direct sunlight. This makes a big difference during appraisal.


2. Gather All Accessories (Boosts Your Selling Price)

Having the original accessories increases resale value:

  1. Shoulder strap (especially for TPM)
  2. Box and dust bag
  3. Receipt or proof of purchase (if available)
  4. Shop cards or tags

Many people forget where they stored these, so it’s worth searching for them before selling.


3. Time Your Sale Right (Ride Market Trends)

Prices fluctuate based on retail price updates, seasonal demand, and stock availability. Good times to sell include:

  1. Just after Hermès raises retail prices (buyers tend to hold back before then)
  2. Spring and summer (when blue and bright colors are in demand)
  3. Year-end and fiscal year-end (boosted by bonuses and gift buying)

Delaying a sale can risk wear and tear. If you’re unsure, try a free LINE appraisal first to check current market value.

Selling Your Evelyne: Resale vs. Consignment — Which Is Better?

When selling an Hermès bag, you basically have two options: resale (buyout) or consignment.


Consignment means leaving your bag with a store to sell on your behalf. You get paid only after it sells. While it’s not an immediate cash option, consignment often fetches a higher price.


For high-demand models like the Evelyne, choosing the right selling method based on your goals can lead to a more satisfying sale.


If You Need Quick Cash: Go for Resale (Buyout)

  1. Get an appraisal in-store or by delivery, receive an offer on the spot, and get paid immediately.
  2. Ideal for those who want fast cash or a hassle-free sale.
  3. At XIAOMA, same-day payment is possible.
  4. Best for those who prioritize speed over price.


If You Want the Highest Price: Consider Consignment

  1. Your bag is sold in-store or online, and you get paid only after it sells.
  2. There’s a risk it might take time to sell, but you can often achieve prices above market value.
  3. Especially effective for rare models like TPM or popular colors.
  4. Recommended for those who can wait a bit and want to maximize their profit.
