Just stop buying it or anything from the brand. The customer service at Hermes is horrible anyways. Why beat yourself up and spend your hard earned money on a bunch of stuff you don't want just to get a bag and get treated poorly by sales associates?
It’s a game and it’s fun for rich people. It’s not for normal folks. You can buy a birkin from a reseller and get exactly what you want or you can play the game. It’s a combo of being a loyal customer and being a customer that the brand wants a birkin on. If you don’t like the rules, don’t play.
I think people that want to purchase in store want that luxury experience no matter what that is. Plus some people are scared of super fakes. They want to go to the source.
I agree. It’s the same as begging for someone’s attention. I would just walk away. No one’s gonna die without Hermes. No brand will be able to control you if you are confident that your life will not be defined by big brands.
If a company makes it difficult for you to buy their product, what’s the point of suing them to buy the product they don’t want you to have? Can’t you just purchase from another company? Is it really that serious? I don’t get it. 🤷♀️
Hermes owns crocodile farms and the cruelty involved to make bags means I would never buy anything from Hermes. The only reason women want these bags is to impress others. If the only way you can impress someone is by owning a handbag; ask yourself aren’t you worth more than that? Why attract superficial people to you that don’t care about YOU only what you own.
We’ve seen that done by average Abby who thought someone “took her seat” when a student with a better academic standing and heavy community service took the seat and rightfully so. No one OWED her seat. But she felt ENTITLED.
Customers should be valued and their interests respected, not to be bullied in such a manner. Why should one have to ‘perform’ to Hermes’s satisfaction before being offered a quota bag?? Please do not accept this kind of treatment!
Actually, I think in this case, the ladies were conned. They have a purchase history and, after buying all of that and one Birkin, they want a second one. They legitimately thought they fit the store/brand spending profile. Then they have the rug pushed under their feet. A con.
It’s part of their “exclusivity “/ “You can’t sit with us” sales tactics. People who don’t have any self respect fall for this. Anyone who respects themselves won’t care for the bag… or the brand.
This is huge because Hermès’ business strategy is what makes it rich, not the bags. If Hermès’ loses its privileges to make customers ask to be offered to buy the bags, their bags will lose their value.
Audio quality is awful on the attorney for a major network; this is disgraceful. These coveted bags look no better than a Michael Kors bag. Who is worse Hermes for selling or the person suing to buy? Either way it's a spoiled brat problem.
It's happening to alot other brands... You think you can walk into a Porsche dealer w/ no prior purchase history asking to buy a GT3? Good luck.... you walk into a Rolex AD w/ no / lack of purchase history wanting to buy a Daytona? You walk into Patek Philippe AD wanting to buy a Nautilus? Or even a Royal Oak Jumbo from Audemars Piguet? THere are many other similar instances too.... So these women wanted to buy the 'most demanded' hang bag w/ no / lack of prior purchase when these bags are also in demand by other VIPs? You need to be w/in the circle of friends first... if u aren't in you are out of luck... AND there are fancy 'nicer' restaurants and private clubs that requires customers / clients in special dress codes too - you think you can walk in in tank tops + flip flops + sweats?
Exactly. It should have always been this way. Democratization of consumerism has spun out of control and now everyone thinks they're entitled to exclusive services and products when they're not! No one should have to serve you at an upscale eatery if you're walking in like a slob wearing "high-end" sneakers and sweats from Balenciaga or an affordable LV wallet that one got used from Poshmark. Accordingly, no brand like Hermes should have to serve new money one-time shoppers with bad attitudes just because they think they can afford a Birkin.
Look, I don't think you understand how Hermes works. They let you buy over 20k of non leather items before they offer you a bag. Great, other luxury brands pick and choose whoever they want to sell to but they don't require you to buy them a house or anything ridiculous before they sell you a car.
@@paranoidhumanoidWhat you’re talking about is “class” which comes across as discrimination. So what if “new money” wants a $20k bag. They have the means to buy it. And for someone to defend Hermès’ practices -and any brand which wants to be clouded in exclusivity - in discrimination says a lot about his/her character. But does it matter to you… as long as you’re perceived as being a “special” consumer for luxury items. Oh, let’s not forget that’s how a lot of establishments in luxury goods get scammed because the person appears to have class!
According to other sources like the purse forum, the plaintiffs do have a purchase history. They know how the game is played. That’s why they are upset. They spent all of their money on crappy stuff they didn’t want, with no Birkin at the end. Hermes didn’t hold up their end of the game.
Bravo! This action is overdue. Hermes has been making monkeys out of their customers by insisting that they make sufficient purchases on their other items to ‘qualify’ for a Birkin or Kelly. My suspicion is that it is a marketing strategy as their other merchandise aren’t moving well. This strategy is to shore up their overall sales.
Superior quality handmade bags are readily available at a fair price. When I observe individuals carrying inferior alternatives, it seems to me like they've made a poor financial choice. For me, i’ll head to the Florence Leather School shop instead.
That Hermès quality ... my mom just passed😢 and I inherited her silk scarf collection. Some from nearly 35 years ago and the colors and artwork on them are just exquisite. I get stopped wherever I go with one on. I am so thankful for such beautiful Hermès pieces.😢
Hermes has the prerogative to sale or not sale their products to whom ever it’s their company. Just like a restaurant or store can deny service to anyone , it’s their business. I purchased a few items from Hermes that I really wanted and then I was offer a chance to purchase a Birkin. I never had a problem with it it’s just how things are but it’s not worth suing for. People these days just want to sue for any reason when they don’t get their way.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
It’s an untold rules. They can simply say they don’t have the items in stock but due to high level of customer service, their SA would show customers what available to purchase. They didn’t say you have to purchase them. As far as the sale records, it’s part of the service for any after sale warranty or return, etc.
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
Imagine all the problems in the world and this is what people are worried about? Really sad. I'm even thinking it might be a PR stunt because human beings can't be this deplorable.
come on now. the people spending a minimum wage person's yearly wages on a single bag in a color they didn't even get to choose aren't the ones living paycheck to paycheck.
All these brands look for ways to make extra money off consumers. Even Amazon won’t sell you a tablet unless you give them extra money so they won’t come with advertisements on the screen. I shouldn’t have to pay extra just to not have to deal with ads. When I’m buying a brand new product. They’re forcing you to pay extra and that should be illegal.
That is the whole point of the lawsuit, why should you have to go after something on the resale market, to buy it for triple when you should be able to go to a store not have to buy half to get the item in the first place. Luxury Brands as a whole are taking the mickey with their price increases and tactics.
I don’t care how those bags are made No bag is worth what that brand wants In sone cases it’s as much as a car or a down payment on a home I would never pay that for any bag
Okay so who is going to sue Ferrari and all these car companies that say you can only purchase a car if you have purchased many other cars of theirs in the past? I personally don’t agree with it but to each their own. Just hearing that makes me despise their brand. I think certain brands overstep their boundaries and what they expect from their customers.
They'll loose case.. customers that can afford birkins can't because they don't want other items.. might have to offer an exclusive membership with annual fees
Coincidentally, this news piece comes out the same week as the world hapiness report, which show that the U.S. has dropped several points. America is so crazy with consumerism and FOMO that we sue in order to keep getting stuff that its makers TELL US we literally don't need. 🤔😂
I bought a bag off an online only retailer about five years ago. It is well made and very, very sturdy. They sold like hotcakes. Suddenly, the bag disappeared off the site. I assumed they were sued by the big guy. I do not use it that much but am just as happy with it as I would be an authentic one. It is strictly a who I am bag and how much money I have anyways. It is just a daggone bag people not the end all be all of the world.
Anyway, the kislux fakes seem to be of equal or better quality than the real thing, and I can use the remaining money to buy groceries and pay some bills
You know it was a white woman that filed this lawsuit lol if you have nothing better to do with the soup people over expensive purses girl live your life
Rolex plays a similar game but a bit more covert. Rolex staff will size up a potential customer and if that individual doesn’t fit the Rolex aesthetic they claim the watch they are looking for is out of stock. They refuse to sell it to certain people.
Its not illegal and they have the right to sell to whoever type of customer they wanted. Exclusive target market and thats how they do business. Public are not harmed so i dont think this lawsuit will get a payment. Try again sis
Just dont play their game easy! Buy other brands! Y’all have the money but let Hermes makes u beg for a fckin bag! 😂 It should be the other way around; Hermes begging u to buy their gags I mean bags! 😂
Why does anyone need a bag that sells for over $8,000 and has a five year wait list? There's other things in life I'd rather wait for.
I just bought one in Chinatown for $20.

Only Hermes is laughing her way to the bank.
The sales associates treat people like that on purpose. It’s a sales tactic. People end up buying just to prove a point.

How dumb is this.. Sueing people to take your money
It’s the same game as Ferrari, Porsche, Rolex, etc - the folks that buy a lot of product over the years get the pick of the top-end stuff.
I don't think it's dumb at all and I wish them good luck. It's time for those well known companies to learn their lesson

Exactly.
If their products were so exclusive, they’d just triple the price instead of playing games by requiring additional purchases and waitlists.
Customers should be valued and their interests respected, not to be bullied in such a manner. Why should one have to ‘perform’ to Hermes’s satisfaction before being offered a quota bag?? Please do not accept this kind of treatment!
