Marianne has spent 35 years immersed in the world of Hermès — first as a collector, then as an advisor trusted by thousands of collectors worldwide. She is also the CEO of 7RP, the leading brand of inserts for Hermès handbags.
She has personally authenticated, valued, and advised on over 14,000 bags across every leather, colour, and hardware combination Hermès has produced. From vintage treasures to current-season releases, her knowledge spans the full catalogue.
Whether you're buying your first bag, evaluating a resale listing, or deciding when to sell, Marianne offers the kind of honest, detail-rich guidance that only comes from decades of hands-on experience.
You submit your question, along with any photos, listing links, or details that will help Marianne understand your situation. She reviews everything, then records a personal voice note response, typically 5–10 minutes long, delivered to your inbox within 48 hours. It's not a template, it's a personal response from Marianne thinking through your specific situation out loud.
You choose a time, and for 45 minutes, Marianne's full attention is yours. Bring your bags, open your listings, share your screen — whatever your question requires, you work through it together in real time. Marianne reviews any materials you've shared in advance, so you arrive to a conversation, not an introduction. Most clients leave with a clear decision, a valuation, or a direction they couldn't find anywhere else.
If it involves a Hermès bag, Marianne has lived the answer. Authentication concerns, resale pricing, buying strategy, leather and colour guidance, when to sell, whether a listing is overpriced, how to negotiate, how to repair a damage to your bag — anything you'd ask a trusted expert who happens to have owned over 1,000 of these bags and spent 15 years advising the market.
Yes. You can upload reference photos and paste listing URLs when you submit your question. The more detail you provide, the more specific Marianne's advice can be.
If Marianne hasn't yet recorded your voice note or your call hasn't taken place, you can request a full refund. Once a response has been delivered or a call completed, refunds are not available.
Marianne doesn't issue certificates because they ultimately hold no real-world value. What she offers is deeper: expertise, context on pricing, condition, market timing, and whether a specific bag is right for you. Not just "is it real" — but "if it is, is it worth it, and at what price."
