If you’re an Hermès lover, you may have caught the recent news of another record-setting price for a Himalaya bag. Just last month, a Himalaya K25 hit the high mark of $437,000 at a Christies auction in Hong Kong. Think about it – that’s the most expensive bag ever sold at auction. And, by the way, it’s pre-owned. This sale shattered the prior record of $383,000 for a diamond Himalaya Birkin 30 in 2017.
We consider both the Hermès Birkin and Kelly to be “Holy Grail Bags.” The Himalayan version of these bags, be it a Birkin or Kelly, are nothing short of royalty.
Read: Her Highness: the Hermes Himalayan Birkin. At the moment, however, the Kelly may be taking a slight lead, at least in the Himalayan carrying crowds.
Price tag aside (if you can get past the 6 digit figures), these bags are extremely rare and near impossible to find. The rare Niloticus Crocodile leather, coupled with the complex and time consuming dying process, is what makes Hermès Himalayan bags so unique and instantly recognizable. The white, grey and tan coloring blend seamlessly into one another to resemble the snowy Himalayan mountains, hence the name!
Hermès’ Himalayan Bags have been spotted on some of the most powerful and influential women in the world – J Lo, Victoria Beckham and Nita Ambani included.

So in case you’ve been on the lookout for one for yourself, look no further.
