Sell Your Himalayan Kelly Bag in 3 Painless Steps

Sell Your Himalayan Kelly Bag without the Pain

Most who are familiar with Hermès bags know that you can’t just go to the company’s website to browse their catalog of luxury purses and pull out your credit card. In order to purchase a new Birkin or Kelly bag you ordinarily have to build a relationship with the staff in one of their retail outlets, put your name on a waiting list – and quite often, take whatever style or color of purse they offer when (or if) your name comes up.

There’s no harm in putting together a wish list, of course, and there are numerous websites and blogs which painstakingly chronicle all of the leathers and colors of iconic Kelly bags that Hermès has produced over the years. Even if you’ve spent time researching and dreaming, though, you’ve probably never seen any mentions of Himalayan Kelly bags; you’ve probably never even heard of them.

Unless you own one. These Kelly purses are exceptionally rare, crafted from almost perfectly white Niloticus crocodile leather, and offered only to the “most I” of Hermès VIP clients. They’re often adorned with fancier-than-normal hardware and diamonds. They’re more likely to be hidden away in a safe deposit box than worn out to a restaurant or fundraiser. And they’re worth an enormous amount of money at resale.

Should you happen to be one of those “very-I” VIPs, or if you’ve been fortunate enough to find a previously-owned Himalayan Kelly on the secondary market, we would love an opportunity to speak with you to see if we can entice you to sell your Himalayan Kelly bag to Dimorras.

Get Your Himalayan Kelly Bag Evaluated by Experienced Appraisers

Our staff of experienced appraisers evaluates all models of Hermès bags, from box calf Kellys to ostrich Birkins to luxurious crocodile handbags, on a regular basis. They fully appreciate the true worth of these purses, and can assign honest yet generous values to your precious Himalayan. And we’re one of the largest luxury goods buyers in the world, with a clientele that dearly wants these handbags. That puts us in a position to offer more immediate cash for your Himalayan Kelly bag than any other online buyer – or brick and mortar dealer – can match.

We’d like to show you the honesty and the caring client service that Dimorras has become known for, by offering a confidential and no-strings-attached preliminary evaluation of your Hermès Kelly handbag. All that’s necessary is filling out a simple website form to tell us about your Himalayan (attaching copies of any documentation or photos you might have would be helpful) and we can get back to you within 48 hours with our report. We’re ready whenever you are.

We’ll deliver the report either by email or phone, depending on your preference, and will also be pleased to fill you in on our in-person appraisal procedures, should you decide to sell your Himalayan Kelly bag. They simply involve shipping the purse to our facilities at our expense (fully insuring your purse will also be at our expense, of course) where our experts will conduct a complete inspection of your Kelly and determine its true value. Unlike the appraisers who work at most luxury goods resale shops in your area, or those at our competitors, our staff regularly evaluates rare Kellys and will truly understand what yours is worth.

We’ll quickly contact you with the appraisal results, along with a firm offer to purchase your handbag for the highest price anywhere. And you’ll have your payout in your bank account within two days of acceptance.

No Pressure to Sell Your Himalayan Kelly Bag

There are hundreds of buyers who will pressure you to sell your Himalayan Kelly bag. What makes Dimorras different is that we want to work with you, on your timetable, to provide the best appraisal and the best offer you can find anywhere. Please be in touch when you’d like to talk.

Luxury handbag collectors know that of the two signature bags produced by Hermès, Birkins are more valuable and more difficult to purchase than Kellys. So, as you’d expect, Himalayan Kellys are a tiny bit easier to find than Himalayan Kellys – and we do mean a “tiny bit.” No one other than Hermès knows for certain how many of each has been produced, but both are nearly impossible to obtain through normal channels.

So what makes Himalayan bags so rare? Start with the fact that these exceptional white handbags are made from the rarest of Niloticus crocodile skins. Hermès farms most of the crocodiles from which its leathers are made, and breeds them to have light skin. White crocodile skin, however, is almost unheard of; the crocs it comes from are nearly albino and almost never seen.

The color of Himalayan leather is as close to pure white as any natural animal skin can be, and the tanning process to create the gradations in color (from smoky gray to stunning white) seen in the Hermès leather is very intricate and time-consuming. That’s why these bags are only offered to the most elite of the company’s clients.

(Himalayan, by the way, doesn’t refer to the crocodile itself. It’s a name chosen to evoke the image of pristine, snowy mountain tops in the Himalayan mountain range.)

There’s often more to the allure of these purses than their color. The few Birkin Himalayans that have been seen by the public are created with 18-karat gold hardware; many Birkin Kelly bags feature similar hardware in 18-karat gold, palladium, or other unusual precious metals. It’s also not uncommon for them to be decorated with a number of small, beautiful diamonds.

What makes the handbags most alluring to many buyers, however, is their scarcity. Any Hermès bag is extremely desirable, and an Hermès limited edition or special order purse is a true mark of distinction – but a Himalayan is the Holy Grail. Most of these handbags never even see the light of day, which is why it’s an occasion whenever one becomes available on the open market.

The few owners who’ve decided to sell theirs have profited greatly. And if you are in a position to sell your Himalayan Kelly bag, it would be our privilege to help you profit greatly with an appraisal that recognizes the true worth of your handbag, an offer which will be higher than any you can find from another buyer or at auction – and our promise of complete confidentiality before, during and after the transaction. We look forward to speaking with you.
