Hi Friends! If you enjoyed this video and you'd like me to do a PART 3 of Busting Hermes Myths, then please leave any rumors or myths that you know of in the comment section👇 I'll try to address as many of them as possible. Thank you for tuning in 🧡
Viva Las Vegas haha! Good tips again on how to scoring those Birkins, I've heard similar stories with tourist locations - but I still prefer to work with the peeps and build that relationship for a guaranteed offer. I was going to try to score something this June in france, unfortunately my plan is cancelled & im gonna have to take a birkin raincheck for the next time to come.
Absolutely, if you love the brand and what they stand for you might as well build a strong and long-lasting relationship with a local store. I can't wait to hear about your experience in France 🙋🏻♂️ Thank you for watching 🧡
New subscriber here GSP! I have gene binge watching your videos, love your input on the industry and your collection. Love the LV Petite Malle you recently acquired, and your Hermès collection is superb. Stay safe and healthy!
I love your positive outlook on the resale/preloved market for these bags. I find that bags in “undesirable” sizes seem to actually have lower prices than retail and you can pick whatever color/hardware that you like. I tend to prefer larger bags so you can often find them at great discounts online since mini bags are more popular nowadays. I would love to see a part three on this series. I am saving up to get a preloved Hermès bag (not a B or K though), and it’s great to learn more about the brand as I continue to grow my collection.
Absolutely, I find turning to the resale / preloved market can be a great idea for people who are solely interested in the quota bags and rather spend there money elsewhere.You're absolutely right, you can find larger bags at bargain prices..and more often than not you'll have to spend less money on an even ultra popular (mini) bag from a reseller than how much it'd cost you to boost your profile at the store 🤷🏻♂️🍊
I think Miami gets a higher volume of quota bags because I hear a lot of people that live there or go on vacation there get bags I can think of three people that have gone baby Kelly's in Miami
I have had the same experience at the Rodeo Drive Shop. About five years ago I started my Hermes journey. I purchased a couple of CDC bracelets and asked my wonderful SA if any 40 cm Birkins were available. She asked what color would I be interested in and I said anything neutral and hardware color didn't matter. She said let her check and came back with a 40 cm Noir Togo leather with gold hardware. It was that simple for me. Fast forward five years and now I have 4, 40 cm Birkins in my collection and still have the very same SA!
@@corinardh8635 Black 40cm Clemence Birkin with palladium hardware. The bag was rejected by the original requester when they saw it was too big and too heavy for them as per my conversation at the boutique with the SA.
When is the good moment to express your desire for a birkin or kelly bag while building the profile? Do you have video showing the different between HAC and birkin?
It depends on how you get on with your SA..I usually express my interest the first time I shop with someone, after I've picked up a couple of pieces. Not yet.
I always enjoy your videos. The issue I have had is SA follow up. Thought I found a good SA , but that was December and she might not be there any longer due to virus, and my state has not re-opened non-essential stores. I knew an SA that I had a great relationship with, but he left after 6 months.. If the SA I was working with followed up, I would have Oran Sandals, Silver Ring Chain and possibly another CDC. This was 1.5 years ago before I turned the corner on acquiring a B/K. Those bags are not on my 2021 wish list. The point is I like Hermes leather, silver, fine jewels and shoes. The only bag I like enough to buy is Garden Party as I like totes for it daily functionality. The B reminds me of tote in a way as you can fold down the flap and carry open. The K is a princess bag for me. I really wouldn't use it that much as I have Chanel and other bag to wear.
Thank you for tuning in 🙏🏻 Finding the right SA that you enjoy working with is probably the biggest challenge of Hermes. I'd recommend reaching out to them via email or text, as they're technically still working from home and should be able to get back to you relatively fast. You'd be a dream client for any SA, as you'd probably be one of the few who wouldn't "nag" them about getting a Birkin or a Kelly 🍊
Thank you for all your videos! I’ve been binge watching them! I’m finally in position to start my Hermès journey this year. I’m a little intimidated at the moment because it’s appointment only, and worried I may not ‘click’ with my SA. Do you think Hermès will continue appointment only even after the pandemic? Not sure if this is all of the states, it’s the case for the Rodeo Drive store.
Just two days ago someone posted a RUclips video of a beautiful birkin they bought from a Japanese seller but they mentioned in the video several times that if you are offer a birkin and don't take it you'll never get one again. I of course, I commented it is not true , but she does live in Japan they have a very big Hermes market so things may be different on the island? Have you ever heard any Hermes sales practices like never getting a bag again ext. being different in other countries, besides Paris.🖤
As far as I know, it's absolutely not true..at least not in the US. I'm not familiar with the store policies in Japan but my local store director confirmed that Hermes does not blacklist customers for turning a bag down 🤷🏻♂️
@@IamGPS yes I liked the one I met from last time but don’t have her contacts but only her name. Even if I have her contact, do I text or call her to schedule the next shopping with her?
Thank you for this video! I am just getting interested in Hermes so this video has been very helpful! New Subscriber! Question, does online purchases help build your profile? I have purchased several things online but nothing in the actual store. Thanks so much!
So glad to hear you found it helpful..welcome aboard 🙏🏻 Not really. If you use the same email you've used online for establishing a profile in-store, your SA will have access to your online purchases but it usually does not count towards bags. You want to make sure you go through the same store and SA if you're interested in getting offered a bag 🍊
Love your videos! I am living in Macau ( SAR of China) and I got my first Constance 24 in April 2020 without any previous purchase as my friend is a royal customer n she introduced her SA n the brand for me! I swift to this brand from Chanel. I love Hermes simple design n started the purchase journey . I bought fine jewelry, jacket ,earring, scarf and belts! I am requesting my first B25 in Barenia leather for my collection! I think I need to be more patient as Barenia leather! What do you think? Look forward to hear from you soon! Thank you so much!
Hi! New subscriber here. Love your channel. So informative. I also heard you can get lucky at the Dallas, Tx store but that was a few years ago. Not sure how it is now. I have a question for you. I am obsessed with the Kelly mini II. Does it fit an iPhone XS Max? I love the Kelly but I’m not sure if I should get the 20cm or the 25cm. The mini is so cute but I want it to fit my phone lol. Please let me know when you get a chance. Thank you so much! 😊🥰
So glad you're enjoying the videos 🧡 I'm not sure how big an iPhone XS Max is but for reference I use an iPhone X which just barely fits into a Mini 20 🙌 if the Max is any bigger it will likely not fit 🙈
Do you have to live in the same state/city to have a SA at that specific store? For instance, the closes Hermès to me is in Las Vegas but I live in Arizona. But I go to Las Vegas quite often.
I’m one of those that will never play the Hermes game, i have bought both of my Kelly’s from a personal shopper. It obviously came with everything and yes i paid a premium but i think i have actually saved myself alot of money by not be buying crap i don’t need and kissing someones ass 😅👌🏼 But i totally get that some people want the whole experience 😊
To each their own, right? 🙋🏻♂️ If you're only interested in their quota bags and you rather spend your money elsewhere, it's a great idea to turn to a reliable reseller / personal shopper as you did. In most cases you'll actually save quite a bit. And if you're a fan of the brand as a whole as I am, I'd rather spend my money on their other products and patiently wait until I get a bag offered... because I'd spend my money with them whether or not I get a Birkin / Kelly 🧡
I am GPS totally agree 💕 i had a very specific Kelly i wanted and knew it would take a long time to score one so i opted for a personal shopper. I do love the brand but its also the not knowing how much i would have to spend to get one and how long i might have to wait 🥰
GPS , your editing skills are getting better 🐀 I love the black and white part about the struggle of dealing with Hermes 🤣 It's like the katy parry , You just have to say your fine meme 😂 LOVE IT 🖤
Your entire Hermes purchase histroy lives on your profile. No matter where you shop, as long as you're within the same country any store is able to see what you have bought from the brand. However, a boutique'll likely only offer you a bag based on your purchase history if you either bought the majority of the products from them or you moved and they're becoming your new home store 🍊
Quest: Are my online purchases taken into consideration when/if offered a Birkin? Do the SAs only take into consideration your purchase history you’ve made at the store?
Not really..if you use the same email you've used online for establishing a profile in-store, your SA will have access to your online purchase history but it usually does not count towards bags. You want to make sure you go through the same store and SA if you're interested in getting offered a bag 🍊
If you look on the purse forum you will find a lot of ridiculous question. or Reddit I've never read about purses on Reddit but I was on their reading about something else the other day and people post some crazy ideas
Thank you for the great idea 🙏🏻 There're many myths floating around out there, but I thought it might be more fun to address questions / rumors you guys have 🧡
@@IamGPS I comment to be times on your videos because I like them and you 😁 and the interaction will help you channel when it comes to the RUclips algorithm . Im only a little crazy and bored lol

I bought mine with no history other than a fragrance. Within 4 days I got a call and I got it from the Bal Harbor H. (I'm a local)
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏻 I'm not surprised to hear that..the staff in Miami is wonderful. The new store in the Design District is 👌🏻

I have one VVIP bag from a reseller and 6 other Birkins and 1 Kelly from FSH. I’ve never got a Birkin from the US. Sad but true.

That's what I thought it would be better if you not take things you don't like so someone that really wants that can get it .
Absolutely, it'd be quite unethical for a company to blacklist a client for not liking one of their products

How do you find the same SA from the store? Can I request the same SA?
Just walk in to your local boutique for a browse and if you meet someone you click with just ask for their contact info 🙋🏻♂️
