About Us

At Privé Porter we have turned our love, knowledge, and expertise of the ultra-luxury handbag market into an endeavor to provide our global customers with the most coveted and rare items. 

We specialize in sourcing, authenticating, and delivering Hermès handbags that are elusive to the vast majority of even wealthy consumers.

We have established a proprietary global supply chain that provides items with very high demand and painfully low supply. We then reward our customers with access to those items via our white-glove service. This tailored approach ensures our customers have a curated and seamless purchasing experience.

Privé Porter was founded in 2012 by Michelle Berk, who saw that collectors of rare Hermès bags deserved a dealer they could trust completely. Fourteen years later, that idea has grown into a global business, with more than $300 million in Hermès sales to clients in over 50 countries.

Today, a dedicated team handles every part of the experience. Our sourcing team buys inventory outright through a network of owners, collectors and resellers built over more than a decade. Our authentication team inspects every bag before it is offered, documenting its condition, stamp and craftsmanship. Our client team guides each purchase from the first inquiry through insured delivery.

Privé Porter is an independent reseller and is not affiliated with Hermès.

Privé Porter has a zero-tolerance policy for counterfeit merchandise. Every bag is inspected and authenticated by our authentication team before sale.

Our written authenticity guarantee covers the original purchaser for as long as they own the bag, with a comparable replacement or store credit for a qualifying claim, at Privé Porter's choice.
