- This is how much i spent to get my Hermes Birkin 25! So lets talk about it #finance #money #birkin25 #hermes #hermesbirkin25 #hermesbirkin #money #finance #motivation
Thank you for being so transparent and honest. Congratulations! You have a wonderful Hermes collection.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😃
Thanks for being so transparent and honest but that is literally “ insane amount “ . I am happy I opted immediately for preloved market and got my only Birkin “ gold on gold “ paying the premium and closing this chapter forever .
Thank you, yes that is a smart move I would say. It’s emotionally, mentally and physically draining at some point. I would definitely recommend this to go to secondary market place specially if you just want to get your bag and be done with it. Smart move. 😊 thank you also for sharing.
@@ziggyessyes . I don’t have the patience and energy to do this .
Wow!
I used to shop in Palo Alto then I felt like no connection with my CA then I started to shop in San Francisco. After almost a year working with my CA in San Francisco I got offered my first B30 Etoupe in ghw and I did not spent more than 13k. Just two months ago after a year of my first B30, I got another B30 black in ghw. So lucky to have my CA.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes you are lucky to get 2 birkins 1 year apart. Congratulations on your 2 quota bags and hopefully more. 😃
I love your transparency and your Hermes collection. Your Birkin is beautiful and after a long wait it makes it even more special I love your content
Thank you so much! Yes indeed 😃
Thank you for being so transparent about your purchases. It really does help to know. Have a very nice day. 🌸🌸🌸
You are so welcome, glad to be of help. Thank you also for watching, I appreciate it. 😀
Interesting video AND very brave of you for your transparency! Love the break down and happy that you did get all your bags at around 1:1 ratio. Its a large amount of money BUT you did it in a span of 4 years shopping at Hermes.
Thank you, yes i am so happy with the bags i bought and truly enjoy each and every piece that i bought 😃❤️
Lovely!! Thank you so much for sharing this !! 🙏🙏 I absolutely love Hermes and I think you will enjoy all your purchases for years to come ! ❤
Thank you i appreciate it. 😃 yes indeed!
Thank you for the transparency. H is excellent at getting people to spend more 😅 But I truly think the items are high quality.
Thank you and yes indeed I agree 😀
Thank you for sharing. That’s a lot of money but as long as you are happy… go go go! 😊 new subbie here. I just got my new birkin too but it was from Paris last month. I’m going to check out your unboxing after here. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats on your new birkin.
Thank you so much, congratulations on getting your birkin in Paris. I have tried 2 years ago and no luck. Glad you got your dream bag and welcome. 🤗
Thank you for your transparency, we don’t see that very often! I’ve got 4 quota bags in my home boutique plus 4 non quota in little under 2 yrs. I spent a ton of money, I have to admit it. I don’t think I’ve got a bag under 2:1 ratio but my offers came very fast with barely no wait. It really just happened that the items I really wanted were worth more than a bag itself.
Thank you for sharing your experience, yep, Hermes is a brand very hard to predict when it comes to pre spend. Regardless, as long as we are happy with what we have, this is all the more important. Congratulations on your 4 quota bags. That’s awesome! 😃
@@ziggyess Exactly! And I’ve been told that in my boutique, one bag a year is more common but when you spend more, 2 happens!
Wow! This is great to know. 😊 might be the same with my boutique maybe I wonder…
Very detailed. Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much 😊
In UK we don't follow that pre spend game, but being visible with your SA and maintaining a good relationship helps in the long run.
Thank you for sharing this. Yes I heard about that. I wish it was like that here too but the US is just a different playing field.
You’re right! I started my Hermes journey in Feb and got offered the Kelly messenger bag in May. My prespend was $12,231 and the bag was $12,200!!!
Congratulations on your new bag, so happy for you 😃 yay!
I found you from Reddit! Thank you so much for this helpful video and for sharing your journey - it’s been a pleasure watching you. Congrats on your baby sellier - so well deserved! 😍
Thank you so much, I appreciate it. 😃
Thank you for your transparency! It’s so rare. Enjoy your Birkin!
Thank you 😊😃
People are rarely this transparent and honest about the price of their purchases. Kuddo for your honesty and transparency. I think it should be in each RUclipsr's videos about fashion. Price is a piece of information as important as functionality, wear and tear, etc.
People don't seem to understand that the Hermès products are handmade and this takes time. It is part of the deal. And, while the quantity is limited, the demand is global.
BTW, I will meet the Hermès SA of a friend this weekend. My wishlist is a Kelly 25 with specific attributes. I am curious to see what she will say. You might laugh: I bought a belt and this is it. If I get the bag, "tant mieux", if not "tant pis".
Thank you for the lovely comment. Yes I try to be as transparent as possible to educate people before attempting such a journey. Good luck on your wish list, special thing about Hermes is they don’t have rules they follow by. Some people get a bag with low pre spend and some don’t even get anything even with a high pre spend. I am rooting for you and good luck 😃
Thank you for your honesty and informative video. And also I admire your grace with the negative comments. If you can afford to spend money and you want to - go for it. Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own choices and habits.
Thank you and I agree with you. 😃
Thank so much for sharing! Amazing video ❤
Thank you Sarah, glad you liked it 😃
Love your outfit ❤
Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for being transparent. When in your journey, did you tell your SA that you wanted a birkin? All the best!
Thank you and yes indeed I did tell him. 😃 happy now that I have it.
Love your selections!
Thank you so much 😃
That's extortion. Why are people okay with this madness. That amount is a great down payment on a house. What the #@^$#^!
Yes it is very expensive. I agree it is a downpayment for a house. Luxury is not for everyone. I am a realtor so I don’t recommend going this route unless you are in a financial position to do so.
@@ziggyessYou shouldn’t have to spend on anything in order to play a game to get the actual item you want. That’s illegal. It’s fine if they have a long wait due to inventory but you cannot “Tie” it to getting a qb.
@@glenf6639 thank you for the insight, with Hermes, the thing is it’s very hard to predict as one Hermes store rules differ over the other and from one county to the other. We might not like how they do things and they require quite the loyalty, unfortunately it’s the only way to get the most coveted bag. I have heard London has a waitlist and no need for a purchase history, not so much in the US unfortunately.
I believe It’s a status symbol of success. Especially in Asian culture, image is so important. Personally won’t be part of this Hermes journey but I can see some logic on both sides.
@@ziggyessagree it’s an expensive hobby. Enjoy the Guilt free spending for your job well done!
Thank you for being detailed and transparency.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Non quota bag doesnt count as pre spend, and the more u accept non qb, the later u got offered the qb
Thank you yes you are correct.
Hi Ziggy. I got queasy from hearing you listed all the things you bought to just get a QB. Very crazy! And I’m crazy too. I started my journey in Jan 2022 and spent a lot of $$. Got 2 QBs and 4 non QBs. Recently, I asked my SA for another k25 in the white color family but, at this point I have greatly slow down on buying anything from the house. So if it comes, then great and if not, that’s ok too. Dior sparks my interests lately, esp their RTW. To scratch my itch I bought a small lady dior in latte color. And I was in Miami recently and got the mini Chanel trendy CC. I have been waiting for them to come out with the mini version! It is super cute! I met a wonderful SA there. ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience, 😃 it looks like we almost have the same experience. Congratulations on your new Dior bag and mini Chanel cc trendy. Those are both beautiful bags. I love my Dior and Chanel bags equally like my Hermes bags. Enjoy your two beautiful new bags. Yay! 😃
Okay, but Tying is illegal. Their game shouldn’t be illegal.
Thanks for sharing your insights. I am also an Hermes lover, and since the end of 2021 I have gotten one B30, and one K25. I would say my spending ratio for each bag was also little over 1:1. I'd like to ask, if you really wanted those non-quota bags before your B25, because I think accepting non-quota bags can slow down your journey to the quota bags. If you really like their non-quota bags (which I really love), I recommend asking for them on the day you are offered a QB. Also, they would count as a post-spend which is an appreciation towards your SA's hard work. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for sharing this information. It’s good to know. I actually requested 2 non qb- Hermes Constance to go and a mini bolide. So we shall see, I don’t get the 2 bags I’m not too crazy about it but hopefully I get my Kelly 25 soon. 😃
She did say something to the effect of not wanting to play the Hermes game…. When she went to Europe…. Let’s be honest, most people wouldn’t actually buy so much crap if they cld just be put on a waitlist and eventually get offered the qb when it came in stock.
Having a ratio is EXACTLY what makes is tying which is ILLEGAL.
@@glenf6639 Except there isn't a discernible ratio which everyone can point to ,so NO ILLEGAL tying. f I wanted a B or K I can see why a "prespend" would be upsetting, but your "prespend" is Hermes just rewarding loyal customers, which isn't illegal.
thanks for sharing this info, enjoy your Birkin ❤
Thank you so much 😃
That’s not a bad pre spend for two desirable bags..congratulations ..hopefully you like all the stuff you bought
Thank you yes that’s what I thought so too. 😃 and yes I love and use them all. 😃
i appreciate this so much maam,thank you for sharing this
You are so welcome, I am glad it helps. 😃 thank you also for watching. 😃
Hi Ziggy! How is the epsom leather on your birkin? What is your personal opinion on it vs. togo leather? Thank you.
It is great. I love that it is light, sturdy and really worry free. I don’t have togo leather so can’t really speak for it if it’s better or not, however I love the epsom, my Constance is also epsom. Love that it is lightweight. Hope this helps. 😃
@ziggyess thank you
I have now 2 quota bags birkin 30 and Kelly 25 also mini Jypsiere, bolide and in the loop. I agree it is when I'm at the 1:1 that I get a text from my SA. I love all Hermes though and just as happy with pillow or shoes but do love the handbag.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it looks like it is universal or at least the same with most people who do their journey. I love their scarfs and jewelry. 😃
Thank you for the information. I love Hermes ❤️ but but i really want the other bags they sell. I want to know can i just buy a regular bag from them.
Yes you can buy non quota bags, just ask your Hermes sales associate the next time you stop by and buy anything. Give them a list of the non quota bag you’re interested in, if they have in stock they will sell if not they’ll keep an eye out for you and contact you when the bag comes in. Hope this helps.
Great info! Im still waiting for my quota bag but based on your journey I have a similar journey so im hoping soon :)
Thank you, I am also hoping you get your dream bag soon. Keep us updated 😀
By journey do you mean the illegal practice of tying?
@@glenf6639no Im mean my journey displaying loyalty to the brand! We cant all get the bags, so Hermes needs to know your a true client not a reseller!
Thank you for sharing. It wasn’t as bad as I thought
Thank you and yes indeed 😀
Stockholm syndrome
I love the Birkin but all the other stuff is crap, so I rather go prelove so I don’t buy a bunch of crap. IIf they just double the price of the birkin for direct purchase I’ll be the first in line
This, yes I agree and thank you for your insights. It has at some point become financially, emotionally and mentally draining so I completely understand a lot of people go pre love.
To buy a bag price for 20 thousand u spend 60000 before no doubt Hermes know how to fool people 😂😂
I think the better way to think of it is perspective . It is not fooling if you fully participate and enjoy their products besides the bag. Luxury is not for everyone specially if you are not in a financial capacity to do so. I always advocate to only buy luxury when you can truly afford it. I hope this helps.
This is why I will only shop in Paris. I just exclusively shop with my SA and I’m good. I can’t with the northern cali SA.
Thank you for sharing, yes it is very hard!
Hello, I enjoyed your video! Can I ask, is your beautiful necklace Hermes? I love it, what's it called?
Thank you 😃 yes indeed it is the Amulettes H Ex-Libris pendant
@@ziggyess Thank you, it's very pretty!
Why?
For information purposes
❤
❤️❤️❤️😃
Are you mad to spend such amount of money just to get a bag that almost everyone owns now 🤦♀️. People wake up !
Thank you for the comment, I suppose, I agree it’s very expensive. I say that luxury is is not for everyone and also only attempt to do this only if you have the financial capacity to do so. I am a realtor also and I recognize that what I spent is a good amount of downpayment for a home and or a fully paid car. Once choice might not be right for another, I am sharing my experience so people are in the know how expensive it is before embarking on this endeavor. I hope this helps.
People spend JUST as much money @ladyfrance3 on piddly Amazon items or everyday “small” purchases that add up to-nothing. Quit criticizing women on how they spend their money. It’s so anti-feminist. Especially when these same comments never get aimed at men spending money on cars, boats, sports gear, etc.
How many people do you know in real life that own a Birkin?
I know 2 close friends I hang out with 😃
Just wondering if a Hermes birkin/kelly bought as a gift be considered a tax deductible?
That is such a great question! I wonder this too, I doubt it is…
@@ziggyess food for thought, every country is different when it comes to paying taxes
@@leebeaute yes indeed I agree. It’s cheaper to buy them too in Europe- Paris if you can because they do a tax refund for US residents and any other visiting countries I think. Thanks for sharing.
@@ziggyess yes, shopping tax free is wonderful! Bought many luxury items from Europe & around the world during our travels. I was surprised that as tourist shopping in NYC, bought Tiffany’s years ago I could not claim tax free. However the items were already at a cheaper price compared to my home country Singapore so that was still a win win.
I think i spent 2k..... Maybe 5k if we include the picotin to be offered a B25.
Wow you are very lucky 😃 congratulations on your b25!
