Here's a tip I did for my first birkin... I have worked with an SA at Dior for a long time... I asked her if she knew anyone at hermes... Many of the SA know other SA from stores around theirs... Mine did and hooked me up! Now I'm on my 5th birkin! Shop with love! Xoox
@@smartipants123 hi! No I'm in los Angeles... I shop at the beverly hills boutique but it's all the same! Many of the SAs have even worked at the other stores! At least you will be able to have an Hermès SA that will treat you like you are already a client! Best of luck! Xoxo
Can anyone please tell me that to make a purchase history with Hermes, do you have to shop from Europe only if you are buying berkin or kelly from Europe or any hermes purchase around the world will be counted to be eligible for a berkin or kelly? I heard some people saying purchase history outside of Europe doesn't count if you want to score a kelly or birkin in Paris?
My holy grail bag is a Kelly 32 sellier in black box leather with gold hardware. I am well aware that I would never be offered a bag in store, and I don’t want to spend that much money on a bag anyway, so I have decided that my best plan of attack is to buy a vintage one and have it refurbished. I do find that there is so much satisfaction in bringing something historical back to its former glory and giving it a new life.
I’ve had at least 3 SAs as mine have moved on. I have several bags and a special order Birkin and I got a Kelly in Paris on my first visit just walking in.
This must be fate, Eileen. I tried my luck for the first time in the Selfridges in London. They let me down gently and we’re truly lovely. I just went to Chanel and fell in love with the coco handle and bought it. I really want a Birkin 25, GHW, Togo leather and neutral or a rich colour - lighter and pastel colours scare me. God willing I can score one this year or next year!!!
Hermes is not even on my radar. I just love your videos anyway lol. A birkin in the gold color will be a dream one day..maybe. It’s so lovely but if I’m honest Not sure where exactly I would wear it or if it’s me. Lol LV & Chanel fits my style more.
I really like boxy, structured bags. When I look at preloved Kellys I have noticed that the sellier ones have kept thier structure well but the retourne ones have nearly all collapsed at the bottom and I really don’t like bags with saggy bums.
Interesting to me that you can do better making an appointment or getting attention at the store if you've been a customer already.. but how does one become a customer if one must become a customer before one becomes a customer :-)?
Thanks, Eileen! Can you talk about, designers coping or suggesting similarities in the leather market, specifically handbags? I am seeing bags with shape, hardware , that reminds me of the classics. Are they possibly running out of ideas? Thanks dear , take care and stay well!
#kkuwan The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!
Hi Eileen, very helpful information, thanks for sharing. May I know when I should build the wishlist with my SA since I have developed a purchase history with couple of pieces from fine jewelry to footwear and ready to wear? We sort of mentioned about the spending to be 1:1.5 but not sure when is the right time to build the wishlist. Can you share abit in this? Thank you!
The sales associates do not make commission on any quota bags. That’s why they have to push other things so much why give somebody a quota bag when it’s so sought after when the sales associates get nothing for it it makes sense that they would have to buy other things first but what sucks is when people do buy a lot of things first even 10 $20,000 worth and they still get offered nothing that’s not really fair.
I really want birkin25 in black.but I really don't love anything else from Hermes besides birkin. so I think I will never score a bag in anywhere in the world. love you from Taiwan
How easy is it to get offered a Kelly or Birkin in Norway? I'm very curious. I live in Sweden and was thinking about going to either Copenhagen or Stockholm.
How were the buying, communication, and shipping process!? I’m so afraid to buy with these people, reviews are mixed. I only bought from the website mzybay.com ,always helpful if I need anything. Just ordered a new lv bag
I changed my SA two years ago as the prior SA no longer work for Hermes. The prior SA offered me multiple Kelly 25 and I turned them down due to the colors. But for this SA I worked with for over 2 years now, and I had spend almost 1: 0.7 to 1:1 every year at least , still zero BKC offer to me, should I switch SA? 😢 I am so up sad.
I usually love your videos but at this time let me tell you that Hermes is the most discriminatory brand qualifying people to get o no get a bags i find it really bad. If someone can afford should be. Allowed to buy.
Official Hermès policy for the past few decades has been that you can buy a Birkin (or Kelly, or Constance) when your purchase history (non-bag merchandise only, not other bags) matches the value of the B/K/C you want to buy. Then, when you finally buy the bag, your purchase history is “reset” to zero and you need to start buying another collection of non-bag merchandise before being able to get another bag. This is their official policy.
Then how did those truly wealthy social media influencers or First Ladies who own all kinds of Birkins & Kellys get their pieces over the years, when you can only get one or two pieces per year. Some have a whole wardrobe of a few hundred pieces of Birkins & Kellys. Even if they buy 2 pieces every year for 10 years, they would only have 20 bags. How did they manage to get a few hundred pieces? Moreover, some influencers look so young.
@A.L prolly their net worth is very high. A 50k bag for them is like buying a candy bar for others. Like Bill gates spent 2m for luxury cruise which equates him buying a big mac.
Hi thank you for sharing. I've tried several SAs but haven't clicked with one. Now hoping switching to another one. What's your thoughts on switching SAS?
Can you tell me how much you need to spent on their accessories to get offer a birkin or kelly ? Few thousands or more? I plan to get a birkin but I don’t know how? Can you give me some more idea.. how to do it ? T hanks
From what I can tell you gotta get along with your SA, be pushy about the items you want. Maybe give them a list once you are on good terms with your SA, eventually they will offer. And yes you gotta go and buy shit at their store build up a history of purchases while you wait for your wish list

Did you get yours from the London? I must try that next time, I made a lovely Chanel SA friend and LV SA friend so here’s to hoping.

You're so sweet, thank you so much xx

Thank you so much for sharing! I love my Kelly Sellier 25 and often think if the 32 is a bit too boxy. How do you like yours?xx
I’ve had at least 3 SAs as mine have moved on. I have several bags and a special order Birkin and I got a Kelly in Paris on my first visit just walking in.
What a dreamy handbag collection! xx
hi would you be able to share the contact info of ur hermes SA thank you
This is very helpful. I am doing my research to get ready for my first hermes handbag purchase. Probably not any time soon, but want to be prepared!
Glad it was helpful!xx

Thank you for sharing Stacy! Once I touched the Hermes leather I was kinda hooked lol xx
@@ColourfulNoir Same! once I got my hands on my kelly, I was hooked!
As always, super informative and very practical. Thanks for sharing! 💕

Same here! I actually prefer structured bags especially if they come with a top handle too xx
I was not even interested in fashin until I saw this picture of a togo birkin lol and here I am, watching this video. It’s very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you!xx
I can’t afford to buy such an expensive bag. But really enjoyed watching how you shared about the info and the ways you put these info together.
Aww you're so sweet, thank you so much xx
Hopefully I can get one of those bags eventually. 😊 thanks for sharing
Best of luck Jenny xx

Very Niceeee
Good tips!!! Hermes ❤🙌
Thank you!!xx
I have a bag that's available to purchase online. Do you recommend I visit the store to purchase instead so I can build up my history with Hermes?
Definitely! That gives you the chance to try out the item in person too, one stone kills two birds xx
Thank you, Eileen! Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!xx

I'm sharing some great sites where you can buy Hermes bags from next week, stay tuned 😇
Colourful Noir hi! Did you end up making this video and sharing the sites? I would love to watch it and see if I can find my forever birkin! ❤️
There is no such a thing in Norway. Come and buy here :)
I would love to!! Thank you for letting me know, are you into Hermes too?xx
@@ColourfulNoir sure

@@V88333 I do not think that anyone would play Hermes game here. Call them and just ask.
which store do you go to?
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *yutulux*😘😘😘
I am wondering if your store is in S or H? 😝
I just started my own African luxury handbag brand @rato_pela_ and my dream is to see you unbox my bags😭❤🤞🏼
How were the buying, communication, and shipping process!? I’m so afraid to buy with these people, reviews are mixed. I only bought from the website mzybay.com ,always helpful if I need anything. Just ordered a new lv bag
I didn't know you worked in the service industry! I kind of just assumed you worked in finance or consulting

I think it's perfectly fine! When I first started shopping at Hermes, I was served by another SA but it's the current SA I really get along with xx
I hope I can score one someday!💕 thanks for sharing these tips!
Thank you xx
“ nice SA” Not anywhere here in the United States 🇺🇸 mostly poker face,,. Can’t wait to to you Paris.
I heard the Monaco is the best place to purchase your first, especially around the Grand Prix.
how do you know what colors you’re after
Where is your local Hermes store? Great content, thank you!
Thank you!
