The Evelyn bags are available for between $1,800 and $6,000, Constance is on sale for between $4,000 – $30,000, the Kelly can go for anywhere from $9,000 to $40,000, while the famous Birkin bag, on the lower end can be $9,000, and at the top end, can go for up to $400,000+.

The consumer demand for these bags has only increased the price of these handbags.

As you can see, the price difference between these bags of both brands is significant and so your budget will play a big role in deciding between Hermès vs Louis Vuitton.

4. Materials and Craftsmanship

As with many high-end brands, the materials and craftsmanship that these handbags are made with are of extremely high quality.

The high price of Hermès products is so high because they only create their goods with the top quality craftsmanship and the most expensive materials. Some bags on offer from the brand may take between 18 and 24 hours to produce – for example, a Kelly bag can take up to 18 hours to create from scratch.

The high-quality craftsmanship also means that if your Hermès item should require repairing, you can take it to a Hermès store where it will be shipped to their atelier in France to be repaired.

Hermès is also world-renowned for using top-quality materials – for example, Epsom leather, as well as ostrich and crocodile leather. Some bags are also decorated with 18-carat gold and hundreds of diamonds making them some of the most expensive bags in the world.

Louis Vuitton bags are made with top-quality craftsmanship in France, the United States, Italy, and Spain – but they are not known to take as long to make as Hermès bags.

Louis Vuitton also uses high-quality leathers in the construction of their handbags, including cowhide leather, taurillon leather, and the famous Damier canvas, to ensure they are durable and stand the test of time.
