—All About the Hermès Birkin

As consignments arrive for our upcoming Important Jewels, Watches & Luxury Accessories online auction, our team is already energised by the calibre of pieces entering this premium sale series.

Among the highlights is the Hermès Birkin—one of the most coveted handbags in the world. With waitlists stretching from Marseille to Melbourne, access is tightly controlled—and in New Zealand, these bags cannot be purchased on the primary market at all.

As a result of this scarcity, Webb’s has become one of the only and most-trusted destinations in New Zealand where collectors can view and secure these exceptional pieces, view the results of these sales here.

Long regarded as the ultimate carriable status symbol for the successful, the celebrated, and the discerning, the Birkin is more than an accessory, it is an asset.

But what underpins its enduring value? Why does a single handbag command such remarkable premiums, and who is driving demand? Read the full story in our article All About the Hermès Birkin.'

If you are considering bringing your Hermès bag to market, a luxury watch, or a significant piece of jewellery, we invite you to contact our specialist team to request a complimentary appraisal.

The Estate is approaching its last few hours of bidding, with a collection that moves between disciplined design and more relaxed, expressive forms.

Highlights include Mackintosh’s high-backed silhouettes which sit in contrast to the soft geometry of modern Italian seating, while ceramics (by the likes of Alvino Bagni, Graeme Storm and John Parker), glass, and smaller decorative pieces introduce moments of texture and spontaneity.

Design icons are represented across the sale, including Cassina, Minotti and Tom Dixon, and this reflects a balance between architectural clarity and lived-in character, design history and the pleasure of well-made everyday objects.

Browse the catalogue online and in-person. Place your bids before the auction closes tonight.
