    I visited the Paris store and was never more insulted in my life. I've been buying Hermes for years - in North America. These people play games to create scarcity. But it's the nasty class based attitude of the shop assistants that disgusted me. They lost me forever. PS I am fluent in French so overhearing what they were saying about tourists when they did not think they understood made me sick....As you said: its a leather bag.

      Agree with you! Hermes CS sux too, everytime I emailed them to ask for more info, they kept directing me to go to their nearest boutique nearest to me (which is about 4 to 5 hours away). Why would i waste my 10 hrs trip just to get info. But the thing is I keep buying their items online (shoes/belts/scarves) 😬😬, as for bags I only buy them when we are in DC visiting our daughter, but it's still difficult to get certain colors I want, esp birkin is almost impossible to buy. Chanel is no longer in my buy list since their price raise while in recent years gold hardware tarnish so easily compared to their prior productions.

      ⁠@@annajustinewhite1743 it’s such a basic design. Maybe it’s not ugly, but it’s definitely not a pretty bag. If people saw the design somewhere else before they learnt about Hermès and it’s exclusivity, I doubt they would buy it for 10 times less. There are great designs out there for perhaps 100 times less but they don’t sell as good as birkins because small businesses don’t have all the resources for marketing.

      most of the store is not handbags, they have everything from teacups to shoes to horse saddles to shirts to perfumes to neckties to scarves. you can walk in off the street to buy pretty much anything. They don't want to sell the bags to resellers for a lot of reasons and that's not unique to them. musicians hate scalpers too. the odds that some random dude in jeans is going to buy a $12k bag for his own use is basically zero.

    I’d forgotten how Hermès were traditionally a saddlery & harness business at the beginning. Throughout their branding there is the use of equestrian symbolism. I’ve had a look at their website & they’ve continued to make saddles, horse blankets & other equestrian items. I looked up the saddlery company GFS who made my horse’s saddle in Walsall, UK. They are still in business & also adverting for a trainee saddler too for £23K a year. It’s good to see that the midlands still has the traditional saddlery industry.

While Chanel leather bags are often seen, tweed bags are even rarer. *jklux*

    I worked as a jeweler for a year. I worked with palladium it is, and it isn't expensive. The palladium plating concentrate is sold in a 1 liter bottle. The bottle is like $1000+ dollars.
    And to make the plating solution you need about 8 oz of deionized water in a glass beaker, and add like 1/2 oz of the palladium solution. And then you set up the electrical connection, for plating.
    I had a black palladium plated LV Louis Vuitton belt buckle that was "peeling" off the black metal plating.
    And since I was working as a jeweler; I polished it to remove the black plating, gave it a sand blasted finish, and palladium plated it for like 15 minutes to get a super thick plating coating.

    • @tanner.leatherstein
      @tanner.leatherstein  Год назад +71

    • @curlyhairdudeify
      @curlyhairdudeify Год назад +36

      ​@@tanner.leatherstein True, in the jewelry business the palladium metal plating pays for itself.
      If you pay for the bottle $1000 dollars, and you charge to polish and palladium plate white gold rings $50 dollars you need about 20 rings to polish and palladium plate to total $1000 dollars.
      And 1/2 oz of the plating solution can easily plate over 50 rings.

    While I don't find the Birkin ugly (I also don't think it's particularly pretty, either), it does seem impractical. Like an outdated design. No strap, fussy foldover top with sangles and turn lock. It looks like a complete pain in the butt to open and close. Better handbag mechanics have evolved since the Birkin was created. Thank you for this informative video.

    • @nicolescats2
      @nicolescats2 6 месяцев назад +2

      The fold over top seems nice for certain purposes, plus unlike the Kelly you can carry the bag without fastening the top. Making it a good flexible tote. Granted, the lack of crossbody strap, especially with a bag of that weight, is baffling. But, you can buy third party straps that are very secure but wear out the leather faster, as the strip that closes the bag is not designed to take the entire weight of the bag. But, by the time you've factored in the stuff you bought just to buy the bag, the third party strap and bag organizer, and the occasional repair bills, it probably isn't worth it. But for those with too much money to burn, there really isn't any other mom bag to buy. Sure, LV makes backpacks, but those aren't as prestigious. And some people really need a tote for the convenience of getting things in an out of there bags.

    When I first saw the Birkin, I thought the closure was too fiddly and awkward. Then I realized it’s just a status symbol. It boggles the mind how anyone would buy that belt that costs less than $100 to make, and pay almost $1000. 🙄 Hermes will never see me as their customer, since I don’t think I’ve ever spent over $200 for a bag, and the last few years I’ve even been making my own.

    If you really want to buy a bag from the store, you need to be more specific when you ask for one. It's not that Hermes don't think you are deserving, it's just they hate resellers and instruct their sales associates to avoid them. If you go in stores just asking for any bag, then the answer will always be "sorry, we don't have any". However if you show genuine interest in their products, like asking for "in the loop bag belt bag" in etoupe color, togo leather, gold hardware things may be different. Let then know you are familiar with their products, like bags that are not trendy, and the sales associates will likely warm up to you. They will see you as true costumer. Another tip is to go for tax free stores inside airports and ask for a specifc bag. If they have it in stock, they are obligated to sell it to you because they are not allowed to hide inventory.
