In the eyes of the Hermes collector community, if you’re serious about pink, you know it’s not just a color; it’s a collection.
Hermes pinks are one of a kind and highly sought after. The brand’s growing portfolio of pink hues is truly captivating. But what’s even more is that depending on whether you’re looking at Swift or Taurillon Clemence or Epsom, these iconic pinks appear lighter or darker. Like other sought-after Hermes colors such as blues and greens, pink historically performs well at auctions compared to other colors. It is no surprise that due to the seasonality of pink releases, certain hues have garnered a cult following.
In this guide to Hermes pinks, we’re sharing some of the many peachy shades you can find that are known for being undoubtedly high in demand. In the age of “barbiecore” what better time than now to up your pink game? As you contemplate which pink is your favorite, these comparisons will decipher what makes each Hermes pink distinct.
Rose Azalee
This pretty pink shade was introduced for FW15 and is known to be one of the rarest pinks inspired by the Azalea flower.
Rose Lipstick
Lipstick pink, anyone? This is available mostly in Togo and Chevre Mysore leathers, and is one of the most valuable pinks from Hermes as it’s only produced in certain textiles. Styles in this hue are particularly desired in smaller accessories such as the Mini Kelly and Bearn Gusset Wallet.
Rose Jaipur
This pink was introduced in 2012 and you’ll often spot this color on Candy Birkin and Kelly bags. It’s a bright coral pink. It’s orange, red, and pink all at the same time. We like to call it a sunset.
Rose Shocking
This pink is one of those pinks that you just know when you see it. It is one of the most hot-pinks from Hermes released for SS21.
Rose Extreme
A super bright pink recently released for FW21. We see this color often combined with Rouge Coeur.
Rose Sakura
This is a soft baby pink inspired by Japan’s sakura tree, otherwise known as cherry blossoms.
Rose Tyrien
A top-selling bubbly pink often seen on Candy Kelly and Birkin bags, as well as HHS bags in Epsom and Ostrich. Candy bags are seen with white stitching that really makes this pink pop!
Rose Scheherazade
This is a magenta pink with purple undertones. We see this color typically used in exotic skins, such as shiny and matte alligator, as well as crocodile. Hermes distinguishes their exotics using a unique stamp symbol. Learn more about what those symbols are, here. Because this pink shade is used only on exotics, this pink is incredibly rare.
Rose Bubblegum
Referred to as “5P pink” by Hermes insiders. It’s also one of the most rare and sought after pinks often seen on exotic skins. It is a pink that is incredibly valuable, even pre-loved.
