I grew up riding and you couldn’t pay me to have that plush thing in my house 😂 you were cracking me up with your description of how creepy it is! That saddle box is beautiful but imo purely for home decor use. Saddles have very specific storage requirements, especially high quality ones, so you don’t warp the tree or end up with stretching or other problems. Which leads me to my next point: I know of only one jtem that has resulted in automatic bag offer, and that is having a custom saddle made. I know two people who have an Hermes saddle (they are STUNNING btw!) and for both of them, at their saddlery appointment, at their home, they were offered their choice of an assortment of what we would now call quota bags (as well as other leather goods). No buying history for either of them. BUT!!! - And this is a huge caveat - this was in the early 2000s before QB insanity. Of course I have no idea if this has ever happened outside of these two instances, but for me two makes a pattern… and both of these people definitely didn’t have a purchase history of record. So if anyone splashes out for a saddle and gets offered a bag on the side, report back lol.
Also it is much more likely to get a bag in the first part of the month, because they have monthly quotas for selling that they can't go over, except very very rarely.. but basically never... even if they have bags, if they meet their quotas, then they are done, so if your boutique is busy, they won't be able to sell any quota bags at the end of the month. I've had to wait till the beginning of a month before for the call to come and get it for a birkin i wanted. This is in the boutique i shop regularly in... which is very very busy and competitive.
I agree with you about the watches... definitely not for me... but my SA actually told me that buying a watch is an instant Birkin or Kelly... so there you go... at least at that boutique.
@IamGPS i do want to add, though... not any watch... the watch should be gold, diamond, something to at least equal the price of the bag... or more... but they don't tell people that... they just lead you where you want to go and look... but in my boutique, apparently buying a watch is a jackpot 😁
rec'd my first hermes scarf in 1990's from my grandmother, hooked ever since - it depends on one's SA and the relationship one has with SA (most important imo) + stay with one store + better outside of cities in US, having knowledge of brand helps too for bags, people don't understand that even bags like picos are not readily available in one's perfect color, patience important + do not buy anything that you don't love
I agree that buying furniture, does accelerate your chances of getting ones dream bags or rare bags. When my cousin was building her house she bought a couple of Hermes sofas and armchairs in the Sellier collection, a set of 12 dining room chairs, a dining table, and full collections of their crockery and china sets. She was offered a pink picto kelly doll, black birkin crocodile touch, and a birkin picnic 25 within a space of 18 months
Honestly, I love playing Mahjong. If I have all the money in the world I would absolutely get the Helios and have all my friends over playing all day 😂
Happy 4th🎉! I totally agree with your assessment and reviews of these Hermes’ special pieces. There really isn’t a guaranteed method to be offered the quota bags. However, it does seems to “speed up” the wait time when high ticketed items such as fine jewelry are in one’s purchase history. 😅 I waited about 2 years for the Kelly chain with diamond sangles bracelet. Within 3 months of that purchase, I was offered 2 bags, a Bolide and a Birkin 30 in neutral colors. 😉
Honestly your videos are just amazing!!! The amount of information and knowledge is great!! I feel more educated about H with each videos and that gives me confidence to go into the store and start a conversation about the brand 😬😬 Thanks❤❤
Who would stuff a saddle into a little box? That is such a weird idea. Maybe it's meant for horsetreats? I cannot remember that I ever saw such a thing in a horsestable. I really do like the look of it though. If I were very rich, I would buy a large one as laundry basket and a small one for dog food.
I notice the clasp with the turn lock on your Kelly bracelet you have on is facing down and not on the top of your wrist. Does it ever stay on top of your wrist or does it always flip around? Love your videos!
@@IamGPS Thanks for letting me know. I have tiny wrists and everything turns around on me which drives me crazy. I really love the bracelet so I’m going to try to get one while my husband and I are in Paris right after Christmas. Enjoy your weekend.
I prefer the look of the Kelly 25, but the Mini Kelly isn't supposed to be around forever. If you know you'd like a Mini Kelly one day, I'd start with that 🩵
I like the China system. They tell you exactly how much to pre-spend for a quota bag. There is no mystery. You are not in a fog and continuously buying stuff you barely want in hoping you get that quota bag of your dreams. Personally, I prefer the MJ set or the celestial globe over a quota bag…. But that’s just me. 😅
that mahjong set looks gorgeous, but crazy expensive. and I agree, the carrouselle box was beautiful, very aesthetic, also its interesting you studied mandarin..

Fascinating, thank you for sharing your experience 🩵
I had to pause the video when you said don’t look into the eyes of the plush horse 🐴 toy 😂I’m dead!😂😂😂😂
They're nightmare-inducing 👀
I think they're cute!! LOL

Your take on plush toys had me in tears with laughter. Thanks so very much for another great video. 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it 🩵
This sweater looks great on you! love the color 😉
its a glorious colour and pops on him doesn't it
Aww thank you 🩵

Obsessed with your sweater ❤
Thank youu 🩵
Hi. Do you get bag offers even if you make generous purchases online or just if you buy at the store?
I agree that buying furniture, does accelerate your chances of getting ones dream bags or rare bags.
When my cousin was building her house she bought a couple of Hermes sofas and armchairs in the Sellier collection, a set of 12 dining room chairs, a dining table, and full collections of their crockery and china sets.

I like the Macao set but I have no one to play with anymore :(
Would certainly be a showstopper 👀

Great video! Would you recommend ostrich leather from Hermes? And what’s the largest Kelly bag you personally own? I always enjoy your videos :)
Here's my thoughts on Ostrich - th-cam.com/video/MGRBe6jI6E8/w-d-xo.html
Hermes Bronzer is the best
being lucky, i think, as an owner of B/K and purchasing from H what I like/need.
As the way it should be 🩵
G, you found the right pink for you, this is so spot on! & my experience with H is to always expect the unexpected haha
Honestly your videos are just amazing!!! The amount of information and knowledge is great!! I feel more educated about H with each videos and that gives me confidence to go into the store and start a conversation about the brand 😬😬 Thanks❤❤
Aww that's made my day 🩵

Great idea to use them as a laundry basket 🩵
Is it possible to walk in and purchase an Evelyne 29? That for me, is my favorite style for my life at this moment. Thanks on another great video ❤
Yes! I went on my first time to hermes and I was able to get an evelyne 29 in gold!
@@eleganthomedecor3401 thank you for responding.
Go online to their website for more color choices
Please make a video on the most extravagant Hermes furniture or games!!!!
Stay tuned 🩵
thank you for this video. That sweater looks good on you. I love globes but sadly won’t be buying one from Hermes…
They're truly like a masterpiece, but the price is just ludicrous 👀
I notice the clasp with the turn lock on your Kelly bracelet you have on is facing down and not on the top of your wrist. Does it ever stay on top of your wrist or does it always flip around? Love your videos!
It wouldn't turn around on its own, I choose to wear it this way on purpose 🩵
@@IamGPS Thanks for letting me know. I have tiny wrists and everything turns around on me which drives me crazy. I really love the bracelet so I’m going to try to get one while my husband and I are in Paris right after Christmas. Enjoy your weekend.
This rosy pink pop of color looks great on you. Love both globes until I’d heard the prices.
They're masterfully crafted 🩵
If you had to choose between mini kelly and kelly 25.. what would you go for? I wear both sizes but the decision is hard both are amazing combos
I prefer the look of the Kelly 25, but the Mini Kelly isn't supposed to be around forever. If you know you'd like a Mini Kelly one day, I'd start with that 🩵
The summer pink suits your complexion. ❤
Aww thank you 🩵
I like the China system. They tell you exactly how much to pre-spend for a quota bag. There is no mystery.

Your top is insane!!!
Aww thank you 🩵
I really like the plush horse for some reason. It has those big hooves. If I had the cash I’d get it
I guess we won't be fighting over it 🩵
Thank you for the video! I love the globe, but not enough to even consider paying for it!
I feel you 🩵
Love the color today! I’m ☠️ that it’s called-or you called it-the Hermes game collection 😂 No wonder these are popular journey items 😂
Thank you 🩵 They're officially part of the "Game and Outdoor" range 👀
love your sweater in nice see you in colour but so handsome in anything happy 4 of July too
Happy 4th, friend 🩵
that mahjong set looks gorgeous, but crazy expensive. and I agree, the carrouselle box was beautiful, very aesthetic, also its interesting you studied mandarin..
I did for a semester in college 🩵
The “diamonds “ on the Kelly bangle are barely visible. More like white dots.
Unfortunately, they don't make too much of a statement for the price 😒
Why do I weirdly like Hermy the plush. It could be that I grew up riding.
That'd make sense 🩵
I have to say if I had the money to burn I would get the celestial Globe and the Mahjong set.
Oh that Celestial Globe is a true masterpiece 🩵
Does the P.S in your TH-cam user name stand for personal shopper
No, G.P.S. are my initials 🩵
@@IamGPS thank for your reply been enjoying many of your videos
magnifying glass! And she is in her 20s. Why would she need to have a magnifying glass set on her table
Legally blind? 😂
Isn't everything at Hermes extremely overpriced for what they are? 😅 After a while, one could just get deluded of the whole pre spend game.
Everything they do is ridiculously expensive, but I do think certain items are worth the money if you appreciate the aesthetic and craftsmanship 🩵
