Quick Answer

Reported 2026 Hermès price changes were meaningful but uneven across markets. European specialist tracking places a Togo Birkin 25 at €9,600, up about 7.3%, while U.S. reporting places it at $13,500, up about 6.3%. Selected Kelly 25 configurations rose to the same reported price within each of those markets: €9,600 in Europe and $13,700 in the United States. A Toronto community report suggests a larger 14.9% increase for a Togo Birkin 25, while Japanese trackers show several 25 cm Birkin and Kelly configurations converging at ¥2,013,000. The practical takeaway is not to rush. Europe still shows a substantial sticker-price advantage over the United States, but taxes, refunds, exchange rates, availability, leather, construction, and the way the bag will be used remain essential to the real decision.

Key 2026 Findings

• Europe: tracked Birkin 25 Togo and Kelly 25 Togo Retourné prices rose about 7.3% to €9,600. Kelly 25 Epsom Sellier rose less, about 2.7%, but reached the same €9,600 level.
• United States: tracked Birkin 25 Togo rose about 6.3% to $13,500. Kelly 25 Togo Retourné rose about 8.7% and Epsom Sellier about 3.8%, with both reported at $13,700.
• Canada: one dated Toronto community report places Birkin 25 Togo at CAD 17,000, up about 14.9% from CAD 14,800. This is a specific report, not official national confirmation.
• Japan: local trackers show Birkin 25 Togo rising about 7.0% to ¥2,013,000. Their tables also show selected Epsom, Sellier, and Retourné-related 25 cm entries converging at ¥2,013,000.
• China: Market discussions have referenced CNY 115,000 for selected configurations. The figure remains separate from the main comparison table because local pricing can vary by specification, timing, and availability.

Birkin 25 and Kelly 25 Price Comparison Table

The table brings together the clearest 2025 and 2026 regional price figures available for direct comparison. “Unknown” means that a specification was not stated clearly in the reviewed pricing information.

Europe

The European changes were notable for both their size and their apparent alignment. Tracked European price reporting places Birkin 25 Togo moving from €8,950 to €9,600, a 7.3% increase. Kelly 25 Togo Retourné moved from €8,950 to €9,600, also 7.3%, while Kelly 25 Epsom Sellier moved from €9,350 to €9,600, a smaller 2.7% increase.

That convergence matters because Epsom Sellier previously carried a higher listed price than Togo Retourné in the compared Kelly entries. Once both were reported at €9,600, the choice became less about a €400 price difference and more about silhouette and daily use. Sellier offers a sharper external structure; Retourné generally gives a softer outline. The price table does not make those experiences interchangeable.

For buyers comparing the compact Birkin with larger proportions, the Birkin 25 category and the guide to Birkin 25, 30, and 35 proportions offer useful visual context without being price sources.

United States

Reported U.S. pricing shows a different pattern, placing Birkin 25 Togo at $13,500, up from $12,700, or about 6.3%.

For the Kelly 25, reported pricing places Togo Retourné at $13,700 versus $12,600, an 8.7% increase. Epsom Sellier is also reported at $13,700, versus $13,200, an increase of about 3.8%. As in Europe, the two constructions reached the same reported 2026 price even though they began from different 2025 levels.

The buyer-facing conclusion is straightforward: the U.S. increase was not identical across the compared specifications. Togo Retourné absorbed a larger percentage change than Epsom Sellier, but price no longer separated them in the reviewed 2026 table. U.S. sales tax is normally additional, so a $13,500 or $13,700 sticker price is not an all-in national total.

Canada

A dated Canadian market report placed Birkin 25 Togo at CAD 17,000, up from CAD 14,800. That equals approximately 14.9%, the largest percentage change among the directly comparable entries in this article.

The Toronto figure is especially notable because it represents the largest percentage change in this comparison. Provincial tax remains additional, so the final purchase cost will vary by location. For Canadian buyers, CAD 17,000 provides a useful current planning reference without creating a reason to rush the purchase.

Japan

Japanese tracked pricing places Birkin 25 Togo moving from ¥1,881,000 to ¥2,013,000, approximately 7.0%. It also tracks Birkin 25 Epsom from ¥1,837,000 to ¥2,013,000, about 9.6%.

For compact Kelly entries, the same tracker lists Togo moving from ¥1,859,000 to ¥2,013,000, about 8.3%, and Epsom from ¥1,947,000 to ¥2,013,000, about 3.4%. The reviewed source did not provide enough detail to assign Sellier or Retourné confidently to every Japanese row, so construction remains Unknown in the main table.

Japan therefore shows the clearest price convergence in this comparison: four selected 25 cm entries reach the same tracked ¥2,013,000 level. That does not erase differences in leather, structure, or availability. It simply reduces price as the deciding factor among those particular tracked configurations.

China Market Reports

China market discussions have referenced CNY 115,000 for selected Birkin 25 and Kelly configurations. Local pricing can vary by specification, timing, and availability, so this figure is presented separately from the main comparison table.

Europe vs United States

For Birkin 25 Togo, the reported 2026 sticker prices are €9,600 in Europe and $13,500 in the United States. For the compared Kelly 25 configurations, they are €9,600 and $13,700. The numerical gap remains substantial before conversion.

However, subtracting one number from the other would be misleading. European prices generally include VAT, U.S. prices generally exclude sales tax, and a traveler’s result depends on the dated exchange rate, refund eligibility and fees, import duty, and travel costs. Availability can matter more than a theoretical conversion.

The useful conclusion is that Europe retains a visible sticker-price advantage in the reviewed reporting, not that every U.S. buyer will achieve the same net saving by shopping abroad.

Birkin 25 vs Kelly 25 After the 2026 Changes

The reviewed European table places Birkin 25 Togo, Kelly 25 Togo Retourné, and Kelly 25 Epsom Sellier at the same €9,600. The U.S. table places the Birkin 25 Togo at $13,500 and the two compared Kelly 25 configurations at $13,700—a relatively small $200 model difference before tax.

When prices move closer, design becomes more important. The Birkin’s open, practical structure and double handles suit a different routine from the Kelly’s flap, turn-lock, and single-handle silhouette. Epsom’s structured visual effect and Togo’s grained, more relaxed character can matter more than a price difference that has narrowed or disappeared.

BirkinMaster’s guide to Togo, Epsom, Swift, and Clemence in daily use provides additional context for that choice.

What the Changes Mean for Buyers

First, compare the exact specification rather than the model name alone. A Birkin 25 Togo row should not be compared with an exotic, Touch, Cargo, or special-edition price. A Kelly comparison needs construction when the source provides it.

Second, treat regional price differences as a planning input. A lower European sticker price can be meaningful, but only after availability, taxes, refunds, duties, exchange rates, and travel are considered separately.

Third, price convergence can make the decision more personal. If Togo Retourné and Epsom Sellier are reported at the same price, buyers can focus more clearly on structure, texture, weight, maintenance preferences, and how formal or relaxed they want the bag to feel.

Finally, an increase does not create a deadline. These figures help set a realistic budget and compare markets; they do not justify buying a leather, color, or construction that is less suitable simply because another adjustment may eventually occur.

Conclusion

The most notable reported changes are Canada’s larger Birkin 25 Togo increase, the continued Europe–U.S. sticker-price gap, and the convergence of selected 25 cm leather and construction prices in Europe, the United States, and Japan.

Europe still appears meaningfully lower at the sticker-price level, but the real cross-border result depends on tax and travel circumstances. As price differences between Togo, Epsom, Sellier, and Retourné narrow, bag shape, leather behavior, construction, and intended use become more—not less—important.

The best use of the 2026 changes is thoughtful planning: understand the budget, compare the correct specification, and choose the bag that fits daily life without letting price headlines create unnecessary urgency.
