Bonhams Hong Kong to auction rare Hermès collection in 2026 luxury sale

Bonhams Hong Kong will launch its first luxury auction of 2026 with 'Iconic Pursuits: Curated Handbags from a Visionary Collector,' featuring 23 lots of Hermès handbags and homeware designs. The online sale runs from February 4–10, 2026, at bonhams.com, showcasing rare pieces with excellent provenance from a single owner. Four haute horology timepieces from the same collection will be offered concurrently in the 'Hong Kong Luxury Online: Faces of Time Reimagined' sale during the same dates. The timing coincides with Chinese New Year 2026, which marks the Year of the Horse—a symbol deeply connected to Hermès' heritage as harness makers founded in 1837. The horse represents prosperity, good fortune, strength, and courage, aligning with the brand's identity. This auction highlights both the collector's discerning taste and Hermès' exceptional craftsmanship.
