<\/h2>\nIf you are a Herm\u00e9s enthusiast, surely you have heard the whispers of this exclusive Herm\u00e9s Special Order. It is also referred to as Horseshoe Stamp (HSS). A very prestigious offering, this well-thought-out program gives loyal customers the option to create their very own Herm\u00e9s bag.<\/p>\n
In this blog, we\u2019ll explore what makes a Herm\u00e9s Special Order bag special in 2025 \u2013 from the colours you can choose to the steps involved in bringing your dream bag to life. Here is everything you need to know about this special case.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nHerm\u00e9s is the name of luxury, with finesse in everything they make. However, the Herm\u00e9s Special Order is more sought-after.<\/p>\n
With this service, customers can design their take on the brand\u2019s classic bags, be it Birkin, Kelly, or Constance. You get everything from the\u00a0Herm\u00e9s leather\u00a0type to the hardware finish of your choice so that your bag can reflect your taste.<\/p>\n
Personalisation is what makes this different from other Herm\u00e9s offerings. While Herm\u00e9s creates limited-edition handbags, a special order is a one-of-a-kind –\u00a0designed in partnership with you<\/i>. Here is what it includes:<\/p>\n A Special Order Herm\u00e9s bag starts with an invitation: only Herm\u00e9s\u2019 favourite clients. Those who have built a relationship with the brand over time get \u201cThe Call\u201d from the Sales Associate.<\/p>\n Your SA will guide you through the available options, as listed below:<\/p>\n Big news for Herm\u00e8s fans \u2014 ostrich leather is officially off the A La Carte List for Special Orders in 2025. If you were dreaming of a custom Birkin or Kelly in ostrich, unfortunately, that\u2019s no longer an option.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n But don\u2019t worry! There are still plenty of luxe leathers to choose from, like Togo, Epsom, and, for the VVIPs, exotic skins like crocodile and alligator. Your SA will walk you through what\u2019s available so you can still create something truly special.<\/b><\/p>\n Everything else remains pretty much the same.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Every year, Herm\u00e9s produces new colours. Herm\u00e9s Special Order colours 2024 featured everything from bright and subtle tones.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n You can still choose from the same colour palettes:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Bold Colours: Rose Mexico, Vibrant Pink, and Vert Verone Deep Green<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Classic yet Timeless: Noir, Gold, or Etoupe<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Contrasting Colours: Having a Herm\u00e9s Special Order Birkin with Bleu Brume outside and Rose Mexico inside will give it that pop of contrast<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n You may wonder what might make a Herm\u00e9s Birkin special order different from a standard one. The biggest distinction lies in customisation. When you buy a regular Birkin, you are at the mercy of the colours, leather, and hardware finishes available at the boutique.<\/p>\n However, you can choose every minute aspect of a Herm\u00e9s Birkin Special Order, such as the\u00a0right Birkin size pick, colour and\u00a0hardware materials.<\/p>\n Do you want a\u00a0full-grain leather bag? Sure! Do you want gold or palladium hardware? You got it.<\/p>\n Also, consider the Horseshoe Stamp. Of course, any Birkin is rich enough, but an order Birkin is an absolute icon of exclusivity. It\u2019s a discreet yet powerful acknowledgement that your Herm\u00e9s custom handbag was created for yourself.<\/p>\n Want to know how to order a special order handbag? Keep reading on!<\/p>\n The short answer is yes! – but it\u2019s by no means easy. It is usually the privilege of regular clients who have continually bought a lot from the brand.<\/p>\n Once you are invited, you will work with your Sales Associate to create your dream Herm\u00e9s custom bag. The key is appreciation for the brand, rapport building with the SA and enough patience. Not something you can rush through but well worth the effort.<\/p>\n What happens once you receive the invitation? Here\u2019s what you can expect should you get to experience the Herm\u00e9s Special Order 2024:<\/p>\n Your journey starts with an in-store consultation. Your Sales Associate will sit down with you and discuss the following bag requirements.<\/p>\n Herm\u00e9s will present you with hundreds of pre-set designs<\/a>\u00a0and colour combinations. For instance:<\/p>\n You can mix and match colours and leathers on this tiny yet iconic shape. During this phase, your SA will supply you with leather swatches and colour samples to give you a better view of your design.<\/p>\n Once you have selected your materials and your design is finalised, your order is forwarded to the artisans of Herm\u00e9s in France.<\/p>\n Remember that once the design is set, nothing can be changed. Moreover, your SA will give you an estimate of how long to anticipate. However,\u00a0an estimated waiting time is anywhere from 6 months to a year.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Patience is a virtue. Herm\u00e9s Special Order is a labour of intricate craftsmanship. Timelines can vary with the complexity of your design, leather availability, and the overall workload of the house.<\/p>\n After a lot of patience, your SA will get in touch to organise a consultation at the boutique once the Custom Birkin is ready. The bag is handed over upon finalising the meeting.<\/p>\n A Herm\u00e9s custom bag can vary greatly in terms of price,\u00a0considering leather materials<\/a>, stylistic choices and embellishments.<\/p>\n\n
