Our process leaves no detail unexamined.

In Silicon Valley, where excellence in engineering and design is celebrated daily, there's a natural affinity for brands that maintain uncompromising standards across generations.
This cultural appreciation for craftsmanship makes San Jose collectors particularly discerning when buying Hermes. They understand that true luxury isn't about logos or status symbols—it's about the integrity of materials, the precision of construction, and the legacy of artisanship. At Top Tier Hermes, we share this values-driven approach to luxury, which is why we've become the trusted resource for San Jose's most knowledgeable collectors who appreciate both the art and science behind these exceptional pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Top Tier Hermes authenticate Hermes bags?
Top Tier Hermes employs an exhaustive 17-point authentication process that examines every conceivable detail of each Hermes bag. Our San Jose-based experts verify date codes, blind stamps, stitching patterns, leather quality, hardware weight, and craftsmanship details against Hermes' exacting standards. We examine artisan stamps, clochette details, dustbag specifications, and even the specific way different leather grains reflect light and develop patina over time. Each bag undergoes multiple verification stages by different authentication specialists to ensure complete accuracy. This rigorous, multi-layered approach gives San Jose buyers absolute confidence that every piece in our collection meets the highest standards of authenticity in the global luxury market today, with comprehensive documentation to support every claim and provide peace of mind for years to come.
What condition are your Hermes bags in?
We offer Hermes bags ranging from pristine, never-carried condition to excellent pre-owned condition with minimal signs of wear appropriate for their age and provenance.
