It’s great that this bag has such a connection to the years where you were coming ‘of age’! I hope you get another one, I’m fairly certain you will!
Thank you! Ridiculous we pray to the Hermes gods they’ll let us spend crazy amounts of money on their bags, should they deem us worthy 🙄 But it’s their world, we just shop in it lol
Curious to see what dayle would pick if she ever did a special order bag at Hermes 😏😏
@@THECLOSETbyConnor a Kelly made to look exactly like a Fendi Peekaboo
@@THECLOSETbyConnor I’d be like…. Thanks, but no thanks 🎤
What kinds of things have you loved and purchased?
If you could only buy LV or only buy Hermes or only buy Fendi, and get whatever you want, without the Hermes limits, which brand would you choose?
It was a really interesting video that I enjoyed. Birkins don’t particularly appeal to me, but I do love the Picotins that were behind you! They have so much character.
Thank you.
I love my Hermes watches, my shoes and my silks. Even with no buying limits if I could only shop one brand it would always be LV. It’s my first love.
never mind lol- I just got to the part where you said you want that next 😄
Loved this video Meredith! I’m glad you left out all of the spend history and subjective parts as yes, you’re right, it’s not always relevant and every store/country is different. Sydney boutique is in a league of its own too! The ‘selfish detail’ is such a cool touch and I’m glad you went with this combo. The pink stitching would have been way too OTT and wouldn’t have blended with the overall look of the bag, so I’m glad you picked what you did! Bit sad you didn’t get the experience in the store, but you get the bag in the end which is all that matters! Congrats on her she’s beautiful xx
Thanks love. Hermes is not McDonald’s, your experience is not the same in every store so I really feel that spend etc becomes irrelevant to anyone not shopping at my store with my SA. To do that o felt almost like it would be clickbait.
@@livingluxwithmeredith 100% agree x
So close to 3k 🥳🤩😆😆😆😆🥂🥂🎉🥂🎉 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾😘
Getting very close now!
I'm totally with you on crazy suit lining! 🤩 So cool! 😎 YES to selfish details! 😉🥂🖤💖
Thanks Gwenny!!
Congrats on this beauty Meredith, she's stunning! I especially love that you went with the rose hardware. Good luck on your continued journey. I believe that you've established a genuine connection with you SA and I feel like you'll get those Kellys. 🤗
Thank you so much
I completely agree that the bag lining is all important. I love the attention to detail. They are both beautiful 💃
Thank you so much
I don’t like saying what I spend either! People have asked so many times what I’ve spent in general and I’m like ugh don’t do that to me! 🥴🤦🏼♀️
It’s pointless in this case. Hermes is not McDonalds! What you need to spend in one store to get a quota bag is different to pretty much any other store.
Congratulations Meredith! Somehow I knew before you showed us the inside of the bag it was going to be hot pink! It’s absolutely classic with a twist!!!
I love it!
Thank you so much Yota!
I love the story about how you got the special order! The bag is so stunning! 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Hm you and Isabelle’s style just changed the hardware. Admittedly I would’ve gone crazy with the changes for a special order
We both did selfish details inside the bags.
Here I am watching this video and my eyes keep going back to your gorgeous green Picotin. LOL
It is a beautiful green!
I have been waiting for about two years, an indecency. I don't give up because I don't want someone else to find it ready in a day
2 years for your special order? Or 2 years and you’re still waiting for an offer to make one?
I love the color combinations you chose 🖤🩷🖤🩷
Thank you ☺️
Yeah Europe I think just has a Wishlist and how much you spend doesn’t matter
Thanks for the info!
Meredith I really like the look of the picotin….do you use yours? Would you recommend?
I do. I have it in all sizes and I prefer the 22 to the 18 or 26.
Absolutely beautiful bag. I love the lining
Thank you
I love the interior color and hardware!
Thank you
Congratulations on your new bag. It’s gorgeous. Love the lining and the pink gold !
Would love to see you do a comparison between the two sizes of picotins and what fits in each. Also some mod shots so we can get a better grasp of how big each one really is. I find lots of things look big on camera but in real life they are not nearly as big as the look .
Enjoy your new beauty
Thank you. I plan to do a review of all 3 of my Picotins so stay tuned!
I’ll be looking forward to that. Three bags are even better than two !
Absolutely stunning bag!! Congrats! Enjoy it!!
Thank you
You are the perfect TH-camr on handbags!
Thank you, that’s very kind.
Love the interior.
Thank you
That is a gorgeous bag!
Thank you ☺️
Enjoyed the video thx 🙏
Thank you
Gorgeous! I'm happy you were able to get just what you wanted.
Thanks so much Autumn!
Congratulations
Thank you
I guessed right 🙌 🙌 when you first showed it a few weeks ago 🏆 for me 😆
Yes you did!!
@@livingluxwithmeredith 😉 😉
Thanks for sharing. My experience was really similar with my relationship with my sales associate. You def don’t need to include spend history on your video as it’s so subjective and different in many stores/countries. I have been offered my wish list items regularly which has been amazing. I have yet to be offered a special order but my sales associate is hopeful I won’t have to wait too long. I am blessed to even be considered so I am of course happy to wait! I am always thinking and researching in case I get the call but at present I have no idea what I would do.
Fingers crossed you get your SO!
This bag is a stunner, 🤩 congrats getting your dream bag👏 💕
Thank you
Congradulations Meredith!! The Bag is beautiful!!! WOW!!
Thank you
Its great to have been offered, but as we all know buying certain items like ready to wear, sweaters etc always will get you high in the list. Here in Miami there are too many women that are high spenders. 2years buying stuff and 2 sales associates and still waiting. when they tell you im so sorry but I have people here that spend $50,000 in 1 appointment, so imagine, my competition...If I can go and spend $5000.00 every month, I would probably already have one. its so sad, but in any of this fashion houses, the more you spend, the best they treat you.
Stores can be super competitive
Beautiful. Love the personal touches. I got my black unicorn earlier this year black 30 with ghw it’s in the unboxings somewhere if you want a look. New subbie xx
Welcome and congratulations on getting your own unicorn!!
Congratulations on your new bag gorgeous she is a beauty.🥰
Thank you
🖤💗🖤 lovely experience congrats 🍾
Thank you
“A Selfish Detail” Ha! So Hermès, so perfect 😅👏🏼 That Mexico bright pink is everything. This video will help so many people, amazing job Meredith! YT is your other calling !!! 🌟🏆😍🚀
Thank you so much
Congratulations 🎊 💖💖💖 on getting your dream bag. I adore that selfish detail. I also love a unique lining.
Thank you so much!
Wishlists in the UK are limited to one Birkin or Kelly (or, maybe, Constance?) at a time, so that's quite different to Australia. Fascinating to hear the differences in the process in different countries.... Also, that you could walk into the Sydney store and get an Hermès bag - over here, it's hugely lucky to get even the least sought after bags at any of our London standalone boutiques or concessions.
Re: the resale market... a reseller in London has just sold a regular black B30 with rose gold hardware in 9/10 condition for nearly £18k. Craziness.
LOVE your HSS bag 😍 Think it's actually super sensible to go for a bag you're going to use and love, rather than something that's designed purely to look like a special order!
Thank you so much. We can have whatever we like on a Wishlist but ultimately it doesn’t matter if I have 100 birkins listed, I’ll still only get offered what they deem appropriate in terms of quotas. The bag I got was the grooming bag so it’s actually part of their equestrian range and not considered a bag as such.
Thanks for the video Meredith. Your special order bag is lovely. Hope you get your Kelly’s some day. 😀. Love the framboise Birkin as well.
Thank you so much
Congratulations on your special order Birkin! I am glad that you did not go with what's popular (smaller sized bags) but with what you truly loved. BTW, even though Sydney is competitive, it's no comparison to some part of Asia, where the spend to bag ratio could go as high as 8:1. Your bag luck does not 100% correlate to how much you spend, but what you bought, it nevertheless has a strong correlation to the amount you spend. People just have to realize that it's the game that you need to play, I don't understand people complain about this when there are so much information out there, you should have known before you go in. As you said Meredith, do your research. Congratulations again! I am sure a Kelly is on the way~
Thank you!! Yes, this is why I don’t include spend history etc. Hermes is not McDonald’s, it is very different country to country and I know Asia is an incredibly hard market for offers.
thank you for your story. What a great opportunity especially since it seemed like everyone is so “you need to buy to get an offer”. I wish my SA was as encouraging. She’s nice but relatively new to Hermes so I’m not sure what she’s able to do for me. Even when I go into the store, there’s limited stock (in the popular items) in the stores I frequent.I’m going to Las Vegas next month and it will be interesting to see if that/those stores have more inventory. Enjoy your items. I too am a pink girl.
Thank you!! I hear Vegas is an easier market but I’m not sure if that’s true or urban legend at this point! Good luck!
Wow 🤩 both Birkins are Wow! Wonderful choices on the special order, makes so much sense. I’m a pink person 💗
Thank you so much
What a very interesting and fantastic story you have of both your beautiful Birkins Meredith. Especially with your 'Special Order'. A life long memory you will never forget. I hope you have a chance to get more of the special pieces you would like in the future. I am sure you will . Thank you for this video. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX
Thank you so much
Hi ! I'm from Paris and in the courtyard of my building there IS a craft workshop with frames. In the showcase "window" there are photos of celebrities from the 60's and the 70's and you Can notice a black/white photo of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin with her iconic "Birkin". Happy you added the handbag "royalties" to your collection.
That’s amazing! Thank you
I am eagerly awaiting your 3k subscriber milestone! Your videos are well organized and entertaining, and so would be surprised if you do not reach 10k by 2023!
Thank you, that’s very kind. I’m still surprised anyone wants to watch me lol
I am not a fan of Birkin's but you'r are fabulous....makes me want to reconsider 🤩 Have a great one Meredith!
Thank you so much, that’s very kind.
Great video, do you plan on doing collection videos by house? I’d love to see your collection.
Thank you. Yes I do!
Loooooove the pink inside 💗💗💗 What are the handles made of and does that fabric come off? Love from NZ💗🇳🇿
Thank you. The handles have Twillies in them, but under that they are just black Togo leather
A really cool video and super interesting !
Your colour combination is Stunningly Gorgeous 🥰
Such a special treat every time you open her 😊
Completely agree about the suit linings too !
Thank you
I would love to watch a video about your Hermes wishlist. I am also curious if non-“quota” bags can be ordered a la carte.
Thank you. Orders for non quota bags depend on the store and country that store is in.
Yippee delighted for you I'd love a mini kelly hope you get em all xx
Thank you so much
Meredith congratulations on this beauty.❤️
Thank you so much
Lovely special order Birkin and love the hidden detail. What kind of leather did you use in the interior and was there a choice of leather?
It’s goats leather inside which is the easiest to keep clean. I chose the colour but the leather type was automatic
Thank you for sharing this story. She is truly a beauty! Love the pink lining and your reason for choosing it.
Thank you so much
Wow that’s really an incredible bag 💕💕💕
Thank you so much
Loved every minute of this video….everyone’s experience is so different. Mine has been a very positive one thus far. Greta to hear your journey and thoughts on Hermes. Thank you Simone
Thank you
Loved this story! Thank you for sharing. Congratulations 🖤
Thank you
Love that bag! I would probably do the exact same thing in a 30!
Thank you. The 30 is a great size!
Such a beautiful and unique piece! selfish details are oh so good 😌I
Thank you
Beautiful bags ,love the black with a pop of colour .
Thank you
Congrats! Beautiful bag!🤩😍❤
Thank you
Lovely bag. I always love a selfish detail.
Thank you so much
Thank you for making this video 💕
Thank you for watching
Such a beautiful Birkin bag,congrats on getting it.
Thank you
@@livingluxwithmeredith your welcome
I’m surprised you didn’t order Ostrich since you love exotics. But your bag is STUNNING!
Exotics weren’t an option for this SO, otherwise I would have!
If you pass them down to your children, they can decide whatever they want to do with these bags… it is such a burden to put on them when you said you would be roll over in your grave if they ended up selling these bags. Material things aren’t that serious.
Of course they aren’t, and of course my kids can sell them. At least they will have assets they can sell, but realistically my kids won’t need the cash if I do what I’m able to.
What Gorgeous pops of colour on both your Birkins Meredith! I love that you did a surprise interior that will make you smile every time you open the bag ….it’s like when we wear fancy underwear and nobody knows but us 😍 Thank you for all the details about your experience and congratulations on your special order 🎉
Thank you so much
Not a question but a suggestion. You should get a Birkin or a Kelly with sterling silver hardware. It’s actually the rarest of all the meals for Hermes to use and I think it is just gorgeous against all of the leathers and colors.
My Framboise Birkin has the silver hardwear. It does look amazing with certain colours.
@@livingluxwithmeredith you’re living all of our best lives! I really enjoy your content and so happy you share with us!
I didn’t know they even do the clochette lining in the special pink too! So cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
