House at a glance
Hermès was founded in 1837 — 189 years on the calendar this year, placing it as an industrial-era heritage house in the luxury-goods landscape. The brand is headquartered in France. Ownership sits with Hermès International; this matters for our analysis because parent-company capital allocation and pricing discipline at flagship boutiques shape secondary-market dynamics.
Liquidity profile
Total observed sales sample across all Hermès variants in the trailing 90 days reached 4,993 observations, with a median per-variant sample of 624. Liquidity is deep relative to our coverage universe: high-volume variants on the Hermès side sit in the hundreds-of-observations range, while the long tail of less-traded color/material combinations clusters in the tens. The depth of the sample is what underwrites our confidence labeling — see confidence-label methodology for the thresholds.

Methodology
Brand-level brief synthesizes Bagonomics aggregations at the variant level: 90-day rolling median, interquartile range, sample size, source diversity, and time-anchored CAGR. Brand median is computed as the median-of-medians across tracked variants — a robust central-tendency measure that resists outlier variant pricing. See median and IQR methodology for the underlying statistics.

Aggregations are 90-day rolling medians by variant from our cross-platform sales mix. CAGR is computed from variant-level aggregations at anchor dates ±180 days from the target horizon; if anchor data is unavailable, the variant is excluded from the CAGR leaderboard. Brand median is the median-of-medians across tracked variants. Discontinuation events are documented in our discontinuation_events table with evidence URLs where available.
