Birkin vs Kelly Resale in Australia 2025
Both Birkin and Kelly are Hermès icons. In 2025 Australian demand shows some clear patterns that can guide your sale strategy.
Birkin Resale Snapshot
Birkin 25 and 30 lead performance with strong premiums in classic colours and popular leathers. Birkin 35 demand is softer and often tracks closer to retail. Buyers value practicality and condition with full set inclusions.
Kelly Resale Snapshot
Kelly Sellier in sizes 25 and 28 is exceptionally strong and in many cases outpaces comparable Birkins. Kelly Retourne remains desirable but typically sits below Sellier. Neutrals such as Black, Etoupe and Gold are the most liquid.
Sellier vs Retourne
Sellier offers a structured outline and crisp edges that photograph well and hold shape. Retourne has a softer, casual profile. In 2025 Sellier enjoys broader demand in Australia for day to evening wear and can secure higher outcomes.
Size, Leather and Colour Considerations
- Smaller sizes remain easiest to place in city markets
- Togo and Clemence continue to be safe choices for durability
- Neutrals sell fastest while rare seasonal shades can achieve strong results if the combination is right
Which Should You Sell
If you hold both, Kelly Sellier 25 or 28 often edges ahead in 2025. For Birkin owners, a classic Birkin 25 or 30 in a neutral with full set is highly competitive. Your choice between direct sale and consignment should balance desired speed and target return.
