Rank #47 of 91 in the Hermès Vault
Estimated resale for an example in excellent condition. Dashed line marks the boutique price.
No recorded sales on file yet for this piece. Until they are added, the resale range above is our estimate from authenticated-dealer pricing.
A small Fox Terrier, Hermès's answer to the Rodeo horse, hand-sewn in France from merino wool over a Milo lambskin structure and sold in seasonal color combinations.
It arrived around 2021 and caught on quickly as the 'other' Hermès charm collectors chase alongside the Rodeo.
Resale sits well above its $740 boutique price, with common color combinations selling for about $800 to $1,500 and studded or special versions going higher.
There are three versions: the Classic ($740); a studded version with Epsom trim ($1,200), sold on resale sites as the Budy Punk or Apic, which resells for up to about double; and the multicolor Budy À la Mer ($1,200), too new for a reliable resale price. Like the Rodeo, it is widely faked.
Our verdict: The best-performing Hermès charm on recorded sales, trading well above retail.
Buy only from authenticated resellers or with a professional authentication. The most wanted Hermès pieces are also the most counterfeited.
The Crown Index grades it C+ (66/100) from real resale data, and today's call is watch. Middle-of-the-pack resale; fine to own, not one to buy expecting it to rise. Past prices are not a forecast.
