Hermès blasted for $125 envelope: ‘We’re literally just a joke to rich people’

For this price, it better deliver.

Hermès is getting teased for pushing the envelope by selling a single paper envelope for about $125.

The luxury design company, famed for its much-beloved Birkin handbags, offers a range of expensive stationery items that are raising eyebrows.

The signature A5 orange Hermès paper envelope, at 8.26 inches long and 5.82 inches wide, is wrapped in silk, reusable, and made in France.

“This keepsake can be sent as a special invitation or even a declaration of love. A long-lasting way to turn your records into beautiful memories,” reads the description on the Hermès UK site.

There are several envelope designs, with Hermès telling customers that “the patterns and the colors of your product will be a surprise.”

Hermès also sells various pricey paperweights, including the 7.5-inch Samarcande model for $2,950.

“In 2011, the knight from the Samarcande chess set became a paperweight, iconic of the House,” the description on the US Hermès site reads. “This season it has been reinvented in bronze — an alloy requiring transformation by the heat of fire — and in a slightly larger format. The delicately patinated edges emphasize the density of the material.”

The Barenia calfskin version retails for $5,150.

The collection also features a $405 mouse pad and a $780 mail tray to hold all those fancy envelopes.

The Post reached out to Hermès for comment.

A TikToker made some of these opulent products go viral in November with a breathless review.

“How are you keeping your papers from flying away without a Hermès mushroom paperweight?” comedian Benton McClintock wondered about the $1,350 item as he made his way through the hoity-toity home array online.

“I thought the mushroom was a stool at first, thinking damn that’s expensive for a stool, no way that’s how much a PAPERWEIGHT is,” one commenter emphasized.

“The way I wouldn’t pay $13.50 for this,” another vowed.

“We’re literally just a joke to rich people,” declared someone else.

“I took out a second mortgage for the mushroom paper weight,” a fourth joked.
