"When will the latest 2026 "G" stamp be available in stores in Japan?"

For Hermes enthusiasts, the stamp indicating the most recent production year is proof that the bag is "freshly made" and is an important point that is directly linked to its asset value.

To put it simply, the G stamp will begin to be steadily distributed in authorized stores in Japan from late February to March 2026.

In this article, we've thoroughly analyzed over the past five years of stock data and the latest trends overseas to predict the specific arrival schedule for G Stamp. By reading this article, you'll have a clear idea of ​​when and where you should act to get the latest G Stamp.

1. The newest engraving for 2026 will be "G"

As of January 2026, pieces with the manufacturing stamp "G" have begun to be spotted at the flagship store in Paris and boutiques in Shanghai.

Hermès' markings have a cycle of approximately 20 to 25 years, and the "G" is a very traditional alphabet that has appeared for the fourth time in the history of Hermès.

The history of the Hermès "G stamp"

• 1951: G (single)

• 1977: ○G (circled)

• 2003: □G (square)

• 2026: G (Latest/Single)

Note: Where is the marking?

In recent years, Hermès products have generally been stamped on the "inner side panel" or "deep inside the pocket" which cannot be seen from the outside. Please note that the exact location varies from product to product.

2. Prediction of the arrival schedule of "G Stamp" at authorized stores in Japan

Hermès will change its engraving worldwide in January, but due to the transportation and inspection process from France to Japan, there will be a time lag of approximately one to two months before the products are on the shelves of stores in Japan .

Based on past shipments, the projected schedule for 2026 is as follows:

Please note: Until around March, even if you ask the store clerk for the latest model, there is a high chance that you will be given the previous year's K stamp, depending on the stock situation. If you are particular about the stamp, we recommend that you always check the actual stamp before purchasing.

3. Why should you get the "G Stamp" early?

Some people may think, "What kind of engraving will do?", but the latest engraving has the following three major advantages.

1. Maximizing resale value
   If you are considering selling it in the future, the newer the year of manufacture, the higher the appraisal value. In particular, "first year of the latest stamp" watches are in extremely high demand in the market.

2. Leather condition
   A newer production date means a shorter shelf life, meaning you can pick up your leather in the freshest condition.

3. Satisfaction of ownership
   For Hermes fans, the status of "owning the latest model of the year" is an irreplaceable joy.

4. The fastest and surest way to get the "G Stamp"

At authorized stores in Japan, the chances of finding the desired model and the latest engraving at the same time are extremely low, so you will need to visit ``El Pato'' (Hermès Patrol) multiple times.
