    Bravo! I completely agree. The "journey" is just so desperate. Also when you have to "build" a relationship with an SA & for them to have the final word if your the chosen one. Its pretty much low key discrimination in my opinion

    No one deserves to feel diminished for being denied the sale of something they could afford, just because an SA or brand felt they don't deserve it.
    While Hermès does reserve the right to sell to whoever they choose, a consumer also has the choice not to patronize such an elitist, classist establishment. You are worth MORE than a stupid bag. You don't have to grovel for it.

    I’m totally with you Dacob! It’s not about the money, it’s the cringe factor. A lot of people just want it just because it’s unattainable, not because they truly love the design or functionality. A “journey” to getting shammed.

      I think the status of it is why most people want the bag. Even if they love the design, the exclusivity would still be a big factor of why they love it. Even if it's just subconsciously.

      Its odd to me. I do not no where spend the amount many spend. I mostly like shawls - and I have purchased a few under the radar bags. The SA I loved to visit and work with - she offered me a Birkin. I think the key was actually have a true genuine relationship with someone - I didn't even live in the city but when I went there for work I would usually stop by and buy things I genuinely loved. I have the pic of the Birkin - I was flattered but it is not for me. Not my thing. And perhaps that is why I was offered because I never really tried to manipulate a situation to get a bag. I dunno.

    • @RubmaLione

      It IS illegal, it's called linked selling. The problem is that no one has officially investigated Hermes. They are very careful with how they convey this to customers, so getting evidence for this would likely require cooperation by Hermes corporate.

    • @SummeRain783

      In some countries it is illegal but this is why Hermes’ never really discloses it formally. They just say it’s “out of stock” and they’ll call you when it comes in. The heck it’s out of stock lmao. It’s there and once you spend enough they might consider offering one lol. It’s a joke. Countries where this is illegal should consider filing a class action lawsuit against them it’s getting out of hand

      and the fact that you hear so many romantic stories about how all they did was "buy a scarf and asked nicely" or didn't ask at all and was offered immediately. like they were divinely chosen lol. even the wasp-iest young women with generational wealth (people like to suggest they wouldnt put customers through hoops if they look a certain way, or have a certain socioeconomic class) had to buy a significant amount of crap over the years and flex their fashion knowledge to prove something to their SAs. I have heard the same person say "I got offered after I bought a few things like sandals." they have every shoe hermes makes and the houseware stuff. I mean both things can be true, they are well liked by a sales associate, but they did have to pay to play. the reality is more people had a prespend that is more than the bag. but they dont mention that. they just mention the "genuine connection" they had with an SA. how their first quota only took a few months. why are you "bonding" so much with an SA? unless it is a euphemism for buying whatever the SA suggests to you. and yes it is "nice" to be offered and shown around the boutique instead of ignored, but damn our customer service standards are a tripping hazard in hell if we think we are bonding or clicking well with an SA who shows us product we can buy or tries to help us instead of being icy, quietly guarding the product, or on their phone or whatever.

    My experience was different in London last year. I was looking for a reversible belt and the SA asked if I was looking for anything else and I said no. He then asked if I was looking for any bags. I said not at this time but I was planning on going on holiday to Paris when I was 50 and would see if I could get a B25 or Kelly whilst there. He asked if he could help me with that instead. We had fun looking through the box of leather swatches, trying the bags to see which I preferred, etc.. Then he called me 3 months later with the exact combination I had talked about, gave me a few days to decide with no pressure, sent me videos and photos, shipped it to me with refund allowed if I changed my mind. I loved the whole experience and I adore my B25. I totally understand where you are coming from Dacob. But there are also some amazing Hermes SAs out there providing a fabulous service.

    I totally agree with your opinion. I sold both my Birkin and Kelly because they were the least used bags in my collection and carrying them made me stressed rather than brought me joy. It is a very well executed high quality leather bag and the finishing is perfect. I do agree that the coating around the edges (specially visible on the Birkin) turns me off too for the price tag. I eventually kicked my ego and realised that i dont need those bags in my collection to feel successful. I discovered Moynat and love their high quality leather and craftmanship high standards much more.

    PREACH! I agree 100%!!! 1. The "hermes journey" phrase has always made me gag. I ain't kissing up to no sales associate - if anything, they should be kissing up to me (lol)
    I'm not about to buy a bunch of items I don't actually want or like just to build up credit. Yes there are some items from Hermes I genuinely do like and will purchase, but that's besides the point. I love Chanel as a brand and because I'm so in love with the house, I'm excited about mostly everything they produce (despite some dwindling quality, but still, the warm fuzzy feeling I get with the brand is worth it). You need to be in love with the brand and the items they produce to support them with your money.
    You are absolutely right, if these bags weren't desirable because of exclusivity and being a positional good, not many people would want them.
    I do appreciate the house of Hermes because they actually do have a wide selection of luxury items at lower price points than Chanel (e.g. costume jewellery, home items, etc). So there is something for everyone. It's a great brand to shop from if you are looking to buy gifts for someone special.
    Relationships with SAs are important with various houses, besides Hermes. I mean, it shouldn't be that way because every customer who comes into the boutique should get the best customer service. But even at Chanel, it sure does help to have a long working relationship with the SA to be offered pre-orders for hot items, pre-sale, and special access to seasonal sales. Even repairs are handled differently when you have a long standing relationship with an SA.
    I loathe any games. Ain't nobody got time for that drama. Luxury shopping should be enjoyable, not a stressful hunt. I started to witness a glimmer of a shopping game with Chanel hot seasonal pieces when the pandemic started, special thanks to resellers/scalpers. I really hope Chanel does not adopt this crooked marketing strategy with their classics.
    Well done, Dacob!

    • @SuperDacob
      @SuperDacob  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thank you dear and you brought up great points across the board. I hope so too that CHANEL does not go the HERMES route of classic bags being unattainable out of artificial scarcity but to be honest, I do not see CHANEL being able to pull it off anyway.
      I mention this in my video too and I do not think the 11.12 and 2.55 could become the Birkins and Kellys of CHANEL because then CHANEL would have to also play a different game and for example reduce the prices of their other goods just like HERMES does: you mentioned it in your comment too: HERMES accessories, jewelry and home decor costs less than said items cost at CHANEL.
      There is a reason why their non Birkin and Kelly products cost less: they have built most of their desirability as a brand basically only around two bag designs! Which, if you think about it, is very sad to begin with. But, they know that the rest of their products are not in high demand and hence the prices cannot skyrocket either.
      CHANEL on the other hand, makes highly desirable pieces across their entire design spectrum which leads them to turn much higher profits than Hermes would. Does CHANEL want to sacrifice all that in order to just make two bags the focal point of their brand? I don't think they do... ;)

    Hermes chose their client. They and the "fans" don't like it being called a "game", but it's basically a game. Like playing lottery. Imagine there are actually people spending $100,000 on ready-to-wear before being offered a Birkin, while other only need to come and chat for a few minutes without buying anything else and got one, in the same store in NYC. True story.

    I think you are completely right in exposing this farce at Hermes....but I do like both the Birkin 30 and Kelly 28 because of their simplicity...are they worth the money - absolutely NOT! As for Chanel, I think the quality of both the lambskin and caviar are terrible now - looking so plastic. I have two vintage Chanels and there is just no comparison. Chanel think they can get away with cheap rubbish (the hardware tarnishes in months) for a premium price. I felt the leather on a recent Chanel Trendy and it looked like one of those cheap leather sofas. It is a shame because some of the styles are interesting.

  • @Giannas1096
    @Giannas1096 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Amen! Wise words Dacob. I agree 💯 👍🏻 To me both the Birkin and Kelly are not practical bags. The Birkin is clunky, clumsy and heavy. The Kelly is difficult to get in and out of, and frankly too prim and proper looking (which is soooo not me 😂). It’s a lot of money to spend on something that’s frustrating to use. At least Chanel bags can look edgy and adapt to any outfit. As for the silly H game, that’s just standover tactics if you ask me and should be outlawed.

    Dacob I totally agree with you. I refuse to play Hermes' begging game. I'm a lawyer and Hermes' "journey" is absolutely legal. Even the local supermarket has the right to refuse to sell you milk. Legally speaking, it's the customer who makes the offer to buy a product at a given price and if the seller accepts the offer, then an agreement or a contract is formed. Even though this does not reflect reality, as the products have a price set by the seller.

      Thats very interesting to hear because I have never had a bad experience like that one at CHANEL. They are always super transparent about what they can hunt down for me form other boutiques in case they did not order the piece I want. But also CHANEL is great because if you talk to your SA right after a new fashion was shown online, you can tell them that you wish to PRE ORDER a piece and they will pre order it for you so you do not have to fight for it six months later when the collections actually start arriving to the stores. So it is very different to other luxury brands.

    I fell in love with Hermes products in 1997 when I bought my black boxcalf Bolide. At that time it wasn’t that complicated to get a Kelly or Birkin. I think I bought a scarf and a small leather good and asked about a Kelly. It must have been a week or two until I got one. Now it really turns me off what you have to go through to get one if you want one. A boutique just opened up in my state and I’ve bought a pair of sneakers, blanket, pillows, ceramic tray and porcelain because I loved them when I bought them. I really don’t think I’ll be after a bag now because for one I’m older and don’t really like a heavy bag. It’s really crazy now. Hermes lost something special that I miss from the earlier days.

However, if you are a rather average person (like me), you not only have to spend a lot of money, but above all have to endure being a very patient and devoted person towards a company to finally get to the glorious goal and that makes the whole thing totally unattractive to me in the end. Unfortunately.

      Yes, its a hassle and for many people the results of the hassle are not good and they go through bad experiences.

    "If that bag would be without the logo and on the shelf at Wallmart.... you wouldn't even look at it" .....and THAT is the truth! For any luxury bag, in my opinion. I fall for the marketing too, and then I have the exact same thoughts "would I still like it without the logo?". It's a very selfconfronting way of thinking. It's my bdsm side that loves it! 😅 anyway, thank you for being the one who actually says it out loud. You are wonderful! ❤

    I heard from many Asian influencers that in Asia (well China), they are very open about it. Apparently SA's would literally tell you, "Ok, to get a Birkin 30, the purchase ratio is 1:1.2, the 25 is like 1:1.5". And other relatively high demand bags or SLGs don't count, so you have to buy jewelry, ready to wear, or houseware. Then, after choosing the things you'll buy, they'll take you to get the bag you want.

      Yes that’s legit. They are quite outspoken about it.

    It is literally like when you go to a store and they say whatever you want is sold out cuz they’re saving it for themselves or a friend 💀

    When you play foolish games you get foolish prizes. However, I surmise that there are lots of knockoffs in the market if you compare what is actually made versus what has sold. You are what you consume after all.
