WAY over Hyped! Definitley Not worth the Hyper Inflated Price!!

Yes me too!!! 😂

I don’t get the allure of their very popular sandal. Every single shoe manufacturer seems to have a knock off and I think they’re truly unattractive. And..I was just in Istanbul where knock off purses are for sale on every single corner in every price range and of various quality levels. Embarrassed to admit I almost bought the “master” knock off Kelly bag for $1200. Went back to my hotel and even did a deep dive on how to spot dupes down to the printed logo, hardware, and knobs on the bottom. Didn’t buy it.

Ya they bore me . Idc what the name on the inside is , it has to be fun to me to lug around

Interesting perspective

Same, I’m shy. I just want to buy something and not worry about being embarrassed because I’m shy.

I hear you! im sure not playing their game for a dang purse ,if somebody else wants to that's fine. Go crazy.

Agreed. You walk into LV, they sell you a bag. Didnt have to kiss up to anyone. We had the money and paid. I ordered my YSL bag from Nordstrom. I paid, they sent it. No relationship needed!

Exactly. It's also about ethics and code of conduct by Hermès, which speaks in volumes. People want their bags because of the drama surrounding it, which is ridiculous. ​@PashaAnn8888

Agreed

So well said.

nope

Not to mention their horrific crocodile farms……

This 💯!!! The open discrimination is pretty obvious. It’s a sad sad world.

Exactly! no need to be rude to the customer.

This is soooo true!!!!

No, it's more like they are reserving the bags for their priority clientele who spend a lot, their best customers. The bags are for the rich who spend a lot anyway and $50,000 to them is like $2,000 to someone else. It is fair. It's a luxury item. They have plenty of rich customers and only so many bags.

@@lisapolanski9379 I will have to respectfully disagree here, the reason select people have bought a lot from them, is because they have allowed them to buy, while others are not waited on, told it is not in stock, and so on. in order to create an "exclusive" environment, you must exclude select individuals. this is just a very negative environment, guaranteed to hurt feelings, and make some feel they don't belong/or not good enough. why would anyone want that?

Agreed. This case is not complex really. It is a very well known, never been kept secret fact that if you would like the opportunity to ever be offered a "quota bag" which varies from sales associate (SA) to SA but always includes the Birkin and Kelly in all their various sizes, you will HAVE to spend a considerable sum of money on other items the brand has to offer. This sum of money changes once again from SA to SA, there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how much one might be required to spend and in some cases the customer is told point blank, " you will need to spend $30,000 in home goods before being offered, or it could be in jewelry, or in ready to wear clothing. This variable changes drastically from SA to SA, from city to city, Country to Country, literally zero rhyme nor reason to this whole process. It has been like this for a very very long time and customers have just come to except this is the way this company does business, if you want a shot at buying one of these highly coveted bags you will play their game. Until customers began to get shafted over and over and over again. Customer were told by managers that if they spent $70,000 in another department, not bags they would be offered their dream bag, their top choice or pick between the Birkin and Kelly line. So Customers did just that, then waited and waited and waited and no offer came to buy either the Birkin or Kelly bag. It happens so often that finally a couple customer finally had enough, and good for them. This is absolutely not about Hermes operating "fairly" this is about Hermes operating within the laws in which they sign up to operate within when they set up show in any Country and within the State that the store operates in. Hermes stance is simply that this is not their policy but there are thousands of customers around the world who could line up for ten months long and tell a judge that this is in fact EXACTLY what they had to do in order to be offered a bag. This practice of trying to persuade people to spend money on something else so that you will offer them a different product and then to not come through on that promise is basically the crux of this law suit. I am very much a "life isn't fair" kinda person and hey if a company wants to keep the demand SUPER high by having such an extremely tight grip on their supply chain, that is 100% their prerogative to do so, but what they should not be allowed to continue to get away with is lying to customers getting customers to spend millions (collectively) just so that they might get an opportunity to be offered a Birkin or Kelly. I suspect these women who are bringing the lawsuit likely have recordings of being told by an SA or even a manager that they have to spend a certain amount in order to get offered a bag. On CA where this lawsuit is filed it is legal to record someone without their permission. The first two plaintiffs are asking for others to step up and join the class action suit and I suspect that others will who are fed up with having the carrot dangled in front of them for so long have spent so much money on other things as asked by their SA only to still have no offer to purchase a Birkin or a Kelly. This case could completely change the way Hermes operates, as it should. Its absolutely their prerogative to limit the supply of their merchandise and they can choose to sell to whom ever they please but the practice of SA's and Managers telling customers how much they have to spend and on which items in order to be offered a bag, absolutely should come to an end.

Satan is the author of confusion.

@@makeuplover6852 I wonder what kind of commission these sales associates are bringing in? It sounds like a real problem if that’s where it leads, I mean what if the house of Hermes says we don’t require a determined amount to be spent on items before the allowance of a bag is considered. I wonder what will happen? I’m sure they will have to deal with it and take the hit if anything comes of it. I wouldn’t know I’m the salt of the earth Nordstrom girl. 😂

@@makeuplover6852 do these sales associates make a commission off every sale? Not sure about in the US but in Canada the SAs make a commission. In high end stores they rely on their commissions for their paycheques because they work strictly on commission. I’ve heard of some SAs working at high end cosmetic counters and they can make close to $80,000 - $100,000 a year. And that’s just for cosmetics. So for an SA working at Hermes, if they work on commission no wonder they keep stringing these customers along and keep telling them they have to spend more money. It’s just putting money in their own pockets.

Same here

The reason I won’t purchase Chanel. Can’t support a person/company that was once a Nazi supporter. I don’t care how far back in history it is.

You seriously research your products before handing over your money? Don’t go to church then.

yes, exactly. Hermes has been operating outside of laws for decades, its about time someone has decided to bring it out into the open. Hopefully more people will join the class action law suit as there is always strength in numbers. This is of course just my 37 cents...I threw in a few extra pennies to cover inflation 😭

I agree with this completely! I think people miss the point. Having to wait till a watch is available in order to buy it, is not the same.

You are spot on!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love this perspective! And I think it’s spot on. 👏 ❤

This is such a great perspective to have, I'll have to tell Brooke this story! Thank you. ❤ Lisa

good point

I agree we should all do what makes us happy. 🥰 Thank you for your comment, and for watching! ❤ Lisa

Absolutely.

Thank you! 🥰 Lisa

I agree! Thank you for watching!! 😊😘 Lisa

So inspiring! I'm SO happy everything worked out for you how it did, and I hope the lord continues blessing you! ❤❤❤ Lisa

Thank you! 😘 Lisa

Not true though really is it. Lots of things are wrong and an opinion stating so is to call it out. Like stealing for example. Anyone who has opinion it’s ok to steal is wrong.

@@debj9680 yes, that’s true! I wasn’t being too literal, it’s just a good saying to remember!

That is correct! Often, people know only their sun sign. But really, that is only part of the story. To get the full picture, you should also know your rising sign (ascendant), which is the "face" we put on for others, and our moon sign, which signifies our emotional makeup, how we react, etc. Our sun sign attributes are what we are here to work on, move towards etc.

@@cynthiaventresca7697 yep!🫶🏻

I was just making that comment based on what my daughter has told me! I don't take it too seriously, it's just fun! I'm aware all of us Virgos are different. I love it! 😘 I am however also a Virgo moon! Thank you for watching 💞💞

@@LisaLisaD1 completely agree Lisa. It’s all in fun 🤩

Love it! 😘 I know your horse is happy! 🐎Thank you for watching ❤💋 Lisa

There is definitely a wide variety of opinions on this topic but obviously like you said I choose to stay positive as I do with most situations lol!

Thank you for watching!! ❤ Lisa

@LisaLisaD1 this is why I have remained watching you, you stay positive throughout!! X

Great point!!!!!

Agreed :) this is not really about being fair, Hermes is actually operating outside the law, in my opinion and the opinion of many others and the people have brought the class action suit against Hermes. Hermes employees tell customers they have to spend a certain amount (lets say $30,000) on OTHER things in the store before they will be offered a Birkin or Kelly bag which are the two bags Hermes keeps VERY tight control over how many they sell in essence they keep the demand for these bags extremely high by keeping the supply chain extremely tightly controlled. What prompted the law suits is this happens all the time but also what happens is then there is no fulfillment on that promise of offering these bags to the consumer. In one case I read about a woman was told my a Hermes Manager that she had to spend $70,000 in a special event they were hosting, if she did she would be offered a bag, she did as she was asked...she was never offered the bag. It then became this game of continuing to move the goal posts on the customer and it was, oh you just have to spend another $25k in homegoods, and so on. This practice has gone on for a few decades, customers now are fed up, and they all also carry with them these handy little devices that can record ALL of these conversations. SO...I suspect that more people are going to start to come out of the shadows and join this class action suit filed in California which is going to open the floodgates for other people to file the same suits in other States. This has the potential to seriously tarnish Hermes reputation and cost them a great deal of money. Of course this is just my 37 cents on the topic...I threw in a few extra cents to cover inflation 😭

@@makeuplover6852 thank you for the explanation of the lawsuit. Very clear and concise.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Will do 😘 Lisa

I agree! 😘 Thank you for watching 💞💞 Lisa

Thank you, Stephanie! 🥰 Lisa

Thank you so much!! What a wonderful compliment 🥰😘☀️

Sassy Girl had a good time with us! 💗🐱

Do you really believe that she waited??

I'm glad it was an interesting watch anyway! Thank you for being here! 🥰 Lisa

Thank you so much! Welcome! 😊🩷

who cares, any happier than most!

And when I say, “you”, I mean it in a general way, no one in particular. Meaning, the people at the top live super wealthy due to the people who buy their products.

Thank you for telling me! I took German lol, I wouldn't know! Thanks for watching 😘 Lisa

Just another perspective and food for thought: This is a class action suit against a billion dollar corporation who has been operating outside the laws for years, imo. Why wouldn't we as a law abiding society want these illegal practices to be brought to the light and for the company that is profiting from breaking the law to be called on it? In doing so, forcing these allegedly illegal practices to come to a halt, resulting in fines and compensation to all those whom were lied too by Hermes employees. Of course It is up to the courts to determine if Hermes was operating outside the law, I can tell you that likely a hundred thousand people could testify that this is in fact how Hermes does operate around the world, their employees tell their customers how much they must spend and often in what category of items before they will be offered a quota bag, which are the Birkins and Kelly's and some stores will also include a few other styles as well like the Picotin. Thousands of customers have been lied to and told they have to spend upwards of $70,000 in order to be offered a bag, the customers do as they are asked only to never be offered a bag. I feel this type of blatant abuse of power over consumers is never ok and we should never condone it. And I say this as someone who more than likely will most assuredly never be offered a bag from Hermes :) Lastly...these are just my 37 cents on the whole lawsuit - I threw in a few extra pennies there to cover inflation 😭
