Why Buy a Pre-Owned Birkin?

With Hermès boutique waitlists notoriously long and purchase history requirements increasingly strict, buying pre-owned is the most practical way to own a Birkin in Australia. Pre-owned Birkins also give you access to discontinued colours, limited hardware combinations and rare exotic leathers that are no longer available at retail.

Every Birkin at The Purse Affair is professionally authenticated: we inspect date stamps, stitching, hardware engravings, leather grain and overall construction before listing. Free express shipping Australia-wide, layby available, or view your Birkin in person at our Collins Street and Westfield Doncaster stores.
