style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ostrich leather is officially back on the Special Order list for 2026 after being removed in 2025. If you were dreaming of a custom Kelly with ostrich&#8217;s distinctive texture, this is your year!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other key changes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Expanded pink palette<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Three pink shades are now available across different leathers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>New neutral options<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Ardoise, Gris Pantin, Beton add sophistication<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Fresh yellows<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Jaune Milton and Jaune Mango bring warmth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Refined earth tones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Bai Brun and Paille join classics like Gold and Etoupe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Limited style offerings in Paris<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Currently only Mini Kelly II and Kelly Pochette\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But don&#8217;t worry! There are still plenty of luxe leathers to choose from, like Ch\u00e8vre, Epsom, and Swift, and for the VVIPs, exotic skins like crocodile and alligator. Your SA will walk you through what&#8217;s available so you can still create something truly special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every year, Herm\u00e9s produces new colours. Herm\u00e9s Special Order colours 2026 feature everything from bright and subtle tones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can still choose from expanded colour palettes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Bold Colours:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Rose Mexico, Rose Darling, Tangerine, and Vert Verone Deep Green<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Classic yet Timeless:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Noir, Gold, Ardoise, or Etoupe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Soft Pastels:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mauve Sylvestre, Mauve Pale, Craie, Vert Fizz<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Contrasting Colours:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Having a Herm\u00e9s Special Order with Bleu Jean outside and <\/span><b>Mauve Pale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> inside will give it that pop of contrast<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s the Difference Between a Special Order Birkin and a Regular Birkin?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may wonder what might make a Herm\u00e9s Birkin special order different from a standard one. The biggest distinction lies in customisation. When you buy a regular Birkin, you are at the mercy of the colours, leather, and hardware finishes available at the boutique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, you can choose every minute aspect of a Herm\u00e9s Birkin Special Order, such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/loveluxury.ae\/topics\/birkin-sizes-101-how-to-make-your-pick\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">right Birkin size pick<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, colour and hardware materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do you want a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/loveluxury.ae\/topics\/full-grain-leather-bags\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">full-grain leather bag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">? Sure! Do you want gold or palladium hardware? You got it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, consider the Horseshoe Stamp. Of course, any Birkin is rich enough, but an order Birkin is an absolute icon of exclusivity. It\u2019s a discreet yet powerful acknowledgement that your Herm\u00e9s custom handbag was created for yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to know how to order a special order handbag? Keep reading on!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can I Get a Special Order Handbag?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The short answer is yes! &#8211; but it\u2019s by no means easy. It is usually the privilege of regular clients who have continually bought a lot from the brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you are invited, you will work with your Sales Associate to create your dream Herm\u00e9s custom bag. The key is appreciation for the brand, rapport building with the SA and enough patience. Not something you can rush through but well worth the effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Process of How Special Ordering Works at Herm\u00e9s<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens once you receive the invitation? Here\u2019s what you can expect should you get to experience the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Herm\u00e9s Special Order 2026<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consultation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your journey starts with an in-store consultation. Your Sales Associate will sit down with you and discuss the following bag requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Style<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leather<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colours<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hardware\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Design Your Bag<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Herm\u00e9s will present you with hundreds of pre-set designs and colour combinations. For instance:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Line<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 single colour on entire exterior and interior with contrasting stitching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Multico<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Bi-colour) \u2013 two different exterior colours on different parts of the bag<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Verso<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 where exterior and interior colours differ<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can mix and match colours and leathers on this tiny yet iconic shape. During this phase, your SA will supply you with leather swatches and colour samples to give you a better view of your design. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many boutiques now have an iPad, so they can help create a rendering which visually details the selections made, providing a realistic preview of the finished bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Selecting Your Order For Completion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have selected your materials and your design is finalised, your order is forwarded to the artisans of Herm\u00e9s in France.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember that once the design is set, nothing can be changed. Moreover, your SA will give you an estimate of how long to anticipate. However, an estimated waiting time is anywhere from 6 months to a year <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">or up to 18 months<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waiting for Your Bag\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patience is a virtue. Herm\u00e9s Special Order is a labour of intricate craftsmanship. Timelines can vary with the complexity of your design, leather availability, and the overall workload of the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collect Your Personalised Bag<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a lot of patience, your SA will get in touch to organise a consultation at the boutique once the Custom Birkin is ready. The bag is handed over upon finalising the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2026 Special Order Hardware Options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2026, you\u2019ve got several hardware options based on the bag style:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Mini Kelly II:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gold<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Palladium<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Permabrass<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Kelly Pochette:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gold<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Palladium<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Permabrass<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rose Gold<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Customisable Strap Lengths for Mini Kelly II<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you were second-guessing getting a Mini Kelly II because of its 93 cm shoulder strap, we\u2019re pleased to inform you you can now customise it your preferred length with four options to choose from!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">70 cm<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">85 cm\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">105 cm\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">120 cm\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Much Does a Special Order Bag Cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Herm\u00e9s custom bag can vary greatly in terms of price, considering leather materials, stylistic choices and embellishments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most special order bags begin about the same price range as a regular Birkin or Kelly. The prices increase if you want exotic leather or more intricate design details.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A good example is the Herm\u00e9s special order Birkin with Togo leather, for which one could start at around $12,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comparatively, the price of one made from more exotic materials such as alligator or ostrich can reach more than $50,000.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, the process of Herm\u00e9s Special Order is not about getting a bargain. Rather, it\u2019s closer to creating a one-of-a-kind piece that represents who you are and your relationship with the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Final Takeaway!
