Hermès Advisory Forum publishes independent, research-led guidance for Hermès collectors. This editorial policy explains how we create our content, how we keep it accurate, and the standards we hold ourselves to.

Independence and disclosure
n
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Hermès International or any of its subsidiaries. All Hermès trademarks, product names and imagery referenced remain the property of their respective owners. Our editorial decisions are made independently and are never influenced by any brand or retailer.

How we research
n
Our guides draw on hands-on collector experience, primary observation of bags and their construction, publicly available pricing and auction data, and cross-checking across multiple reputable sources. Where a topic involves market values, we describe the factors that move prices rather than presenting any single figure as guaranteed.
nn
Accuracy and updates
n
The Hermès market changes constantly — prices rise, colours are retired, and new styles appear. We review and update our guides so they reflect current conditions, and we date our analysis where timing matters. If you spot something that needs correcting, we want to know.
nn
Corrections
n
We take accuracy seriously. If you believe any information on the site is out of date or incorrect, please contact us and we will review and, where appropriate, correct it promptly.

Not professional advice

Our content is provided for information and education. It is not financial, investment or legal advice. Buying luxury goods carries risk, and you should carry out your own due diligence, including independent authentication, before making any significant purchase.
