    • hmmm…. I thought I asked for a bag to purchase - just as if I ask for availability of an item to purchase at a department store. If a sales associate at a store tells me that they don’t have an, and if I think they may have the item, I ask the sales person to check in the back to see to confirm. But you’re not the only person who saw it as me begging, so I must not have conveyed how I really felt accurately enough. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. ❤️

  • I really find it hard to understand why woman allow these designers to humilate them. You have the money and they feel that you are not good enough to own their product. Stop doing this to yourself and find a brand that respects you and wants you to be happy with your purchase. I would never allow a salesperson or a company treat me in such a way.

    • Great point, but I didn't feel humiliated, but rather more warranted to call out for what I wanted. The fact that they didn't have the item that I wanted or that they came out with a bag after saying there's no bag available made me walk out without buying anything from that particular store. At my age, I'm not ashamed of any of my actions - I know exactly what I'm willing to buy and the service I'm willing to take. That said, everyone makes mistakes when they are busy, so, I'm not quick to judge on any actions of a sales person immediately, but once I feel that I'm not getting the curtesy and respect I deserve, I walked out.

It's fair capitalism - if consumers continue to want their items, they can continue to do the same sales practice. Thanks Virginia for watching and sharing your thoughts!

  • My H SA has been saying the “I don’t know when we’re getting bags in” line to me since 2012. I stopped asking after 2015. I was always polite, dressed nice but casual and always friendly. The day I stopped asking was when I saw another customer, apparently a FOMO member, get a bag with no purchase history. It was a 25cm in a color that was definitely not popular and she squealed in delight. She didn’t care what color and leather. So of course when she was looking for Twillys, I complimented her bag. I asked the color and leather and clueless. I went to my SA, who was always pleasant and we’d have great conversation, and let him know that I wasn’t going to ask about bags anymore. It was quite obvious that a twit with a sugar daddy that couldn’t even pronounce Hermes, was more their style for a Birkin or Kelly. I only go back there to drop off things for the spa service. If I want perfume or something else, I get it online. No bag? Okay, no commission on other things. We’re not friends. It’s business and I can retaliate in my own way.

    • Omg, that’s so aggravating! I’ve been waiting for either a Kelly or a birkin at my local store since 2019. Couple times, my sa said that ‘she’s got me’ when I mentioned some of my big milestones that I’d like to celebrate with buying one of these bags. But alas, nothing. That said, she did say that supply was limited due to the pandemic. That said, with all the stuff I went through last year and this year, I haven’t been back to the store in over a year. My SA is nice and pleasant, but I’ve got too many things on my plate these days. C’est la vie. ❤️😘

    • My first intro to H was in the mid 80s during my internship. One of the lady bosses asked if I wanted to join her as she was going shopping. Who was I to say no? It ended up being very educational since she wanted to know more about me and my goals. We went to pick up her B35 in box noir. That bag was her gift to herself for aiming high in a male dominated industry and reaching a level that she could get this bag and not second guess herself spending the money on it. We are still friends to this day, she still has that bag and I still have mine that I got which is also a B35 box noir. I miss the days you could walk in, order, wait about 2 years and get a bag. Good times. 😂😂😂

  • I went to the Hermes store in Vienna last week. I am Filipino and was paired with a Filipino SA. He was honest enough to tell me that the 25 mm Birkin that I was interested in is not only hard to get but you have to be on the wishlist, I think is what they call it. He also told me that they prioritize the locals versus the tourists. His advice to me was if I am planning to go to Paris that I would have a better chance of getting it there. I appreciated his honesty and he talked to me for almost an hour to explain their policy. I know he really wanted to help me but he also has to follow their store policy. I still bought a bangle to show him my appreciation. I’ve been snubbed at the Paris stores also so never again. I feel your frustration. I can’t believe we have to beg to buy a $10K bag (that is the price in the US). I know it is cheaper in Europe. Thanks for sharing your experience.

  • I haven't purchased any Hermes bags for a couple of years, but haven't had any issues getting the bags I wanted. When I was in Paris 13 years ago I walked into the flagship store and purchased a Kelly. On the same trip we went to Nice and then onto Monaco where I purchased an Hermes clutch. I believe it was called the good lock. At the same store I was offered an orange Birkin. It wasn't a color I was interested in so I turned it down. When we went to Hawaii, I visited the Honolulu store and purchased a garden party and an Evelyne bag without any issues. Recently in Colorado, I stopped into an Hermes store to see if any Evelyne bags were available and they told me they didn't have any stock so I left. I am never desperate for any bag. If the store doesn't have what I want, I just go to a different store. Honestly, Hermes doesn't care whether or not the non-elite customers buy their goods or not. They have plenty of ultra wealthy people who will keep them in business for a very long time.

  • This is where it becomes extremely “cloudy”! Was the reason they could not offer you the refused Garden Party because it was on someone else’s longtime wishlist?… and they were next in line to be offered it?…the real issue is that whether they truly “snubbed” you or not…you FELT SNUBBED!!! And that’s unacceptable!!! I don’t play…firstly, I have no boutique in my area, and secondly I buy preloved. Yes, I know I’m paying higher than retail, but I’m not purchasing things I don’t want, and I’m getting the exact item, color, and size that I want. Maybe it’s my “new math” but it’s how I justify purchasing these lovely items that I love!!! So sad that this was not the celebratory experience you had hoped for!!!!😞

    @corikay@corikayАй бұрын
    • I don't think the Garden Party was in someone else's wishlist because it was offered to an American tourist couple who walked in. I asked for the sales associate to find out if I can buy it while that couple was still in the store but had turned down the bag. So, definitely not saved for a regular client. I would totally buy pre-loved and have bought pre-loved Hermès, but I'm hesitant to buy them even from reputable sellers because of super fakes. Especially for BKC, which are highly copied and faked, I'm afraid to buy them second hand unless I can be assured exactly who bought it and how it's available for sale on secondary market. The best method would be to buy it from a close friend whom you know if legit and have bought from the store. I was disappointed because I really wanted to celebrate and mark my 60th birthday and our wedding anniversary with something tangible (the running joke in our family is that I forget everything unless I can touch it and I tend to remember places we went to by nice things I've bought at the location!) 😂. That said, this is definitely a first world problem and I really can't complain. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 😘

    • hmmmm.... I never thought of myself as begging for a bag, but rather thought of asking for a bag to purchase and calling them out when I saw a disprepancy. That said, I can see how it can seem that way. If I was really begging for a bag, I think I would have bought a lot more to show that they should sell a bag to me since I'm spending a lot. I only wanted what I went to buy and nothing more. Clearly that wasn't enough, but I'm not going to spend on things I don't want to buy just to get a bag. I would never beg for anything other than to beg God to give me strength to help with my ailing parents (which I have done last year). Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

I don't remember a lot of the places we visit especially so many places look similar after you go from one city to another (old age memory, hahaha - sometimes I can look at a picture of me in a place and don't remember being there, 😂). That said, I remember all the times I bought something fancy, and I remember walking around with the fancy thing I bought even if the rest of my outfit looks crappy.

I don't close my bags (both expensive and cheap) unless I'm worries that the contents will spill out during driving or if I'm going through a crowded places.

Also, my heart was set on buying one of Hermes bags (non quota) that I’ve been eyeing for past few years as a commemoration of our trip to Europe.

  • Of course you were snubbed. As a POC, I'm always torn between "I'll show them! I can buy ANYTHING in this store!!" OR "I'll NEVER buy from this company after being treated so poorly!" Bottom line: these companies need us consumers more than we need them. If no one buys this stuff, they go out of business. The games are old and boring. At my age (64) I'm over the "luxury brand" stuff. I wear what I like, high or low, from Gap to Chanel.

    • Absolutely right that these companies (non-essential item companies) need us more than we need them. I'm not over luxury brand since I still wear my luxury bags and jewelry because I love wearing them. That said, most of my clothing are either from Target/uniqlo (and yes, Costco!) and majority from consignment shops since I made a resolution (made a video 😉). At 61, I, like you, don't care what other people think about how I look. I buy things because I want to for myself. I had planned, prior to the trip, to buy a bag from Hermès as a celebration. I think I was focused on trying to achieve that. I should have walked out when they said they couldn't sell me the bag the other couple had rejected, but, again, I thought they had a bag in the back that I could buy.

  • I do not like the Hermes shopping experience overall. I have purchased a few items over the years, all with zero effort to be offered a bag - they were just things I really liked, such as silver jewelry, a watch, couple of belts, etc. I have never made a Wish List. I shop luxury because it is fun, and overall I see Hermes as not a fun experience. Chanel gets the bulk of my shopping money since I have several wonderful SA’s that always alert me to new treasures that come in. Add to that some VCA and Louis Vuitton thrown in here and there, sometimes DIOR and Cartier. All are fun for me. When I was in the south of France last summer I did quite a bit of shopping; one stand out experience was Lanvin in Monte Carlo. I was outside admiring the window display and the sales associate stepped out and graciously invited me in. She was so warm and welcoming, and 5 minutes later I walked out with my first Lanvin bag :D EXCELLENT customer service that made it a very enjoyable experience. I never get that feeling at Hermes. So I don’t allocate much time or money to them.

But I am now exploring other lesser known brands as well, such as Lanvin and Bulgari. I have just one bag from each, but I am impressed so far. The experience in Lanvin Monte Carlo was very nice.

  • They saved their inventory for their usual customers, could be the end users or buy and resales. They live on commission and have to meet the quota, therefore, they don’t just sell a bag but building the relationship to those who would buy things that other than the bag to make up the targeted sales. I am pretty sure international they assign bags to the salesperson. They may not get to have a bag to sell every month.

I've actually been lucky and have had good service in the Hermes stores, and notably in the main Paris store on the occasions I've been there (most recently in 2018). But the changes from 15 years ago in attitude are notable - previously I was able to walk in and buy 2 bags for my cousin in Paris and in Milan, a bag for myself. Things have changed. Since the pandemic I've been snubbed in Chanel and have encountered a less patient Hermes sales person in my home city. Unfortunately I expect to be snubbed like you were in Hermes if I do happen to ask for a bag - which should not be the case nor tolerated. You have every right to have been annoyed at the snub.

So as someone else said they keep it for the local customers whom they have built up relationship with. They really don’t care about the tourists. Also I’m wondering do all Hermes stores have access to your buying history because you clearly have one. So maybe next time mention it. You did really well to refuse that other bag. So be proud that your self esteem kicked in and you left. I am from an English speaking country and my experience is they know you’re a tourist and are not interested in pleasing us. !!🥰

  • My understanding is that they won't offer you the bag, even if it was being rejected by the first couple, because they probably had more customers on their list that they were going to offer it to. I just went into the Hermes in Costa Mesa (not my home boutique) and asked if they had any bags, just to see if I could get lucky. I got the same answer: Oh, we sold out of everything; we had a shipment yesterday and everything sold out; we never know when we're going to get a shipment, etc, etc. They're lies. They wouldn't sell me a bag because they don't know me and I don't have a relationship with any of their SAs. I'm sure they were selling bags to other customers there. That's just the nature of the game. The SA said he could sell me a wallet or a Rodeo. That was all they were willing to sell me. So I came back to my home boutique and bought some fine jewelry from my SA and updated my wish list with her. Hopefully she'll be able to get me a bag soon.

  • The salesperson was caught telling a lie. And he just wanted to stick with that by not selling that garden party. So sorry to hear this bad experience. Hermes has strange sales practice, their sales team seems to behave erratically - some are very nice while others behave so snootily - more so than the customers. Luckily Hermes handbags are so nice, guess Hermes is one of those retail stores that will do best with AI serving customers 😬😬

    • I totally agree. I felt that he was caught in a lie and had to cover himself. I literally had to almost force him to check the "back". hahaha! So, I think he came out with the most undesirable bag in their shop to see if I'd buy it. AI service customers - 🤣! I wish their practices were more uniform too. Thanks for watching!

    • It’s the strap from the multi pochette! It’s a much better scale and size than the strap the bag comes with. I use the speedy 20 strap for my Estrela NM tote - to use it as a wide crossbody to support the heavier weight of the tote bag. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️😘

  • The sales associate have their own set of bags for their own clients. I believe they have to trade with another SA in order to get you what you want. That happened to me when I was offered a Birkin but I prefer a Kelly. So I said “No, thanks”. Then I get a call from my SA and she said I have a Kelly for you, come pick it up tomorrow. So I did.

  • The SA s are allocated bags to sell to their clients. That SA may not have had any allocated to him. He could have made a deal with the other SA to sell the bag to you but maybe they dont get along or he had nothing to trade.

    @lienecarter6411@lienecarter6411Ай бұрын
    • Whaat?! I had no idea that SAs are allocated non-quota bags! So, does that mean that if a customer happens to be assigned to an SA who's used up all his allocation, that customer wouldn't be allowed to buy bags even though there's bags available at the store? That seems very restrictive especially for non-quota bags. I asked for non-quota bag styles because I knew that the quota bags are reserved for their regular customers.

    • @@MyfavoritesWithMaggie i haven’t been told that directly but I’m pretty sure that that is what started happening after covid. Even non quota bags are not displayed in the store anymore except for some of the men’s collection that nobody wants. I have been trying to get a Halzan for over a year. In 2019 you could walk into any boutique and try those on and purchase. Whenever i ask my SA about bags he gets visibly anxious and i have never brought up a quota bag. He did ask me once if i would be interested in a Jypsiere. I do like my SA. I went through several before I found one that i liked. I would just go in and buy something small and see how i liked them until i felt that i had a good repore . European boutiques will rarely sell bags to Americans unless they drop major and i mean major money all at once. You need to find a boutique that you like to shop in and just go there. Ideally local to you but if you travel a lot it could be in say Hawaii or lasvegas or even a European city as long as you can be somewhat regular. They prioritize local clients but if you make it clear that this is your “home store” they will treat you like you are local. Paris does have a lottery system in place that you can take a shot at getting an appointment with, but it is a long shot. Having a Parisian purchase history does seem to help “win” the lottery. I really dont think it had to do with how you were dressed or who you are. They just have there systems in place and wont deviate. You cant expect to break through that in one session. Since you did purchase in that boutique next time you go back make an appointment with the SA that helped you. I bet you get offered a bag. May not be a quota bag but i think they will take care of you

  • The Hermes business model is set to cater to their established client base with long standing history of purchases. Hermes has ALWAYS had an exclusive clientele. They usually have appointments with their regular client advisors or a manager. The new client advisors usually have to meet quotas with those clients who aren't as established. They also have to establish themselves and not everyone is successful. They don't cater to everyone. It's one of those "We reserve the right to refuse service" conditions to keep their items exclusive.

  • I would have felt the same way had I been in your shoes. Hermes Birkin and Kelly are supposed to be two of the most coveted bags in the world but now many influencers on KZhead seem to have at least one. The more rare or hard to get something is the more you want it. It’s hard for me to see them as rare these days though (including Chanel) because of how many people have actually been able to get their hands on them, including a few of the KZheadrs I’ve been following who have sworn a few years ago that they would never pay that much money for a bag and then get ecstatic they finally got “offered” (you are forking out ten plus grand!) one. It’s almost become a (luxury) disease in my opinion. You did the right thing by not making getting a bag from Hermes a priority over enjoying the trip with your husband.
