This is the most helpful video on scoring a Birkin in Paris that I’ve seen so far - great job!! 🙌🏽💖
Hey girl fancy seeing you over here🤣🤣😍🧡
I've been that male sales associate and while I was never the type to give a customer crappy service. Even though I'm gay I love helping women find fabulous things. The type your talking about is the "prima donna" gay male sales associate. I never liked working with them because they're running their own show and it's all about them. I'm determined to open my own store and I hope you will come because you're fabulous Erica.
The politics and high drama around buying a Birkin could be it's own show
sanity now - actually you are so right!!!!!! I am actually starting a series on this!
hahahaa I'd watch it on TV for sure!
Hermes NO i will not fight and/or humble myself to spend my money!
That's not what it's about. Hermès isnt about "lowering" clients it's about maintaining a certain old-world craftsmanship. They don't make products just for the sake of making products. Look at how the collections are not trend-driven. Go to a store and feel the quality of the leather, the cashmere... the uniqueness of the scarf prints. I mean think about it one craftsman spends 50 hours making a Birkin. One person working an entire work week on one item. There is a TH-cam clip where a Hermès craftsman worked for the company for years and he was doing a repair in Japan. All the way in Japan he came across a handbag he made 15 years before... Salespeople don't leave the company to me that says something very meaningful about Hermès and I hope you will think about Hermès differently
@@plny i do not disagree with you because i own them what i disagree with is not being able to get one or at least order one when i want one
this is getting out of hand.. back in 2013 i literally bought 2 bags a kelly and a birkin. But also i feel like Birkins are getting to mainstream by wannabe's who just want to ''pose and flex"" and not appreciate the brand, the history, the craftmanship.
very true!
So true. And as a normal customer who just wants buy a bag other than a birkin, you get completely ignored by them because you don‘t look a certain way is just poor
I would love to get an idea of the price differences in bags brought from Paris compared to the US.
check either the purse forum or pursebop, both will have most updated price lists - hth
You can save over $4000 after VAT return
@@alicialuolim3315 What about the custom's tax when you get back in to U.S.? It can be high too..... After $800/family member, it's taxable. You'll save money, but would it still be $4000?
Myfavoritethings it’s super hit or miss if you get taxed or not. I declare every time and mostly get waved through no tax
@@ChibiDesigns You're so lucky! Most of the time, I get taxed. :-(.
love your TRANSPARENT suggestions and stories, you're a real one! always loved your video
Hermes is obviously playing hard to get; I don’t care about Hermes and having one of their IT bags doesn’t make me better person
everyone wants one and it takes time to create them so its limited
Niel Wong they also limit production to maintain their brand cache. It’s an old marketing ploy
Tasana Mosleh I so agree. They need to treat customers with more respect and customers need to maintain their self respect
Tasana Mosleeveryone wants a hermes bcz everyone is soo insecure they need something to show to the people they have value. And hope tat way will be respected and i can understand that. If u walk in a designer shop and u dont buy sellers who are just some broke shits look at u like u have a rare desease and alomost spit on u. But thats strategy bcz people get intimidated and they wanna prove tat they can measure to the brand and hope they will be accepted in the graces of the imbecil sellers. Is all marketing. I wont buy into that never
@@evalmiki2011 Absolutely agree.
Thank you for always being so real Erica!!!! I love you and Val, you guys sound hilarious together!!
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!! Thank you for always be transparent, honest and help everybody!!!! I didnt get the appointment in sept eitther...
Thank you soooo much Erica for advocating for us - the true die hard Hermes fans 😘😘
I love the panic anxiety and drama a bag is creating for the lux community. The bag is iconic !!!
I love how you tell it like it is, Erica, without sugarcoating the hard truth! I used to be so into Hermes and now I’m just so freakin tired of it.
Tip: Go to FSH towards the early afternoon and ask if there have been any appointment cancellations and if it's possible to get an appointment.
Very helpful/informative. Thank you so much for sharing.
Fantastic video Erica,l personally need honesty and you deliver,Thank you,💕💕
Thank you, Erica. Love watching your videos. Hugs!
I live in Italy and have an home in Nice (France) so guess it would be easier for me to get an appointment or having many occasions to visit the boutiques but I consider the whole matter so humiliating that I didn't ever desired an Hermes bag :-/
your no nonsense videos are the best!!!
I love your honesty!!
You are always so upbeat and fun to watch ! I’m not into Hermès ,never was but I do think their leathers and colors are quite beautiful , and I get why so many love the brand ! It sounds like they need to tweek their new online system , while I agree it’s better than standing in line for hours waiting to just get a ticket for an appointment , which certainly doesn’t guarantee that 1 will even be offered a BirKin or Kelly with that appointment ! I think your idea of making those appointments for those 2 particular bags is a great idea , the other styles should be attainable simply by walking in and purchasing them , your idea makes a lot of sense and hopefully ,Hermès will find this video ! I can certainly believe the things you mentioned happening online , it happened here in NY with the pop up release of Louis Vuitton/Supreme collaboration ! I wasn’t there because I just don’t see any style bag or luxury piece being worth standing in such long lines with so much chaos ! I’m pretty sure in NY it was mentioned there was even someone who either had a gun or used it to shoot at people waiting , im not sure which story is true ,but I heard it was Mayhem and it was immediately shut down ! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing , to harm another human being over some luxury bags and accessories was probably the craziest thing I’ve ever heard living here in NY , and I’ve heard and seen a lot girl !! I’ve wanted bags that were super hard to get but no way would I wait in line for one , nor jump through the hoops that these brands expect their customers to jump through ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge , super cool of you to share what you know with everyone ! Xoxo
I love your honest suggestions .Erica thank you for your suggestion!
Erica, you are just FANTASTIC for this. Your realness is so refreshing in a world full of posers & frauds. I just love you bc your fabulosity actually comes from the INSIDE & NOT who you're wearing! Blessings
Your HONEST video just got you a new sub! LOVE your healthy beautiful hair BTW!
Erica, thank you for sharing your Hermès buying experience! Very useful!
Love the realness! Thank you!
Love your videos, thanks for being honest. You are awesome.
Love your honesty!
Dear Ericas. Please continue to keep us update whenever there’s a new system for Hermes. We love to know! When I went Paris in year 2013, there wasn’t any system for Q. Just walked in and asked for any bag! 😣
*Wow things have changed so much since I scored my first Birkin back in 2016!* 😍
Love your channel soo much!!!
Your hair looks amazing!
I am in the habit of liking the video before I finish it because i know for sure I’m gonna like the video
Erica can you please do a video on your favorite hair and skincare products?
Thank you soooo much Erica for being so honest with us. Me and my hubby were invited to visit a friend in Paris next summer and I have been already dreaming about scoring a Berkin or Kelly every single day since then. Now that I got the first hand info from you I think I’m gonna lower my expectations and get ready to jump though all the hoops.... 😌
Thank you for providing such useful information! Love a video on price differences between Paris and U.S.
Yesss to the price video for all luxury!! ❤️
It is true....I heard stories about how husband gets bags for their wives. PLS USE SCOTT! he's there for a reason...LOL
yeah youtuber Mel in Melbourne had a similar situation out of the US as well, her husband told the SA he wanted a bag for his wife for their wedding anniversary and she gave him a special treatment
Truly honest and realistic video! LOVE 💓💖💓💋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 it! I will for sure update you once I will finish my ‘Hermès journey’ to have a B35 cm, which has started here in 🇨🇭 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 in October 2018.... All the best to you, Dear Erika! 💓💓💓🥰🥰🥰💋💋💋
Thank you for your honesty, ❤️🥰I believe you when you say they lie....👍👍
Thank you Erica for the info! I was in Paris end of October. Didn’t manage to get any appointments online but did exactly what you did by getting into the George V store and did get a bag, the 24/24. So you are right, the tip is to get a few items, especially jewelry and watches and they will offer something. Sadly no Birkin or Kelly for me, but we know the drill now. Any chance your second SA is Natalie? 😉
Totally off topic....but you look so beautiful today! Love your hair and the black on you...very classic 😊
I was in Paris the first week in November and was zero for three trying to get an appointment at FSH. I also lined up at Sèvres one morning and was probably number 20, but was told no more appointments for the day. I didn’t even want a Birkin! I was interested in a picotin or Garden Party, so I totally agree they need a different system for non-quota bags. I ended up having a fantastic time at Louis Vuitton and buying a gorgeous city steamer, so it was all good in the end. 😁
Thank you for your honesty. I was in Paris last May & my daughter asked if I want to try to score a berkin or kelly, I decline bec. I don’t want ro ruin my vacation just for a bag bec.it’s really ridiculous that we have to “ do” all these hassles just to get an expensive bag. 🤨
👍👍👍 thank you for sharing!!!been there twice and Go home empty handed.
Unbelievable! Thank you for sharing! Laughing so hard about your friends (Val?) "What the hell is this"? I love it! ❤ From Kansas City 🌻
Great detailed video. Yes, please do the price difference for Hermes. Also, Chanel please.
Speechless..it's very insulting the way Hermes treats their clients!! Although I can't afford Hermes bag it was very interesting to watch you Erica providing us with these information..
love your video of your honest experience - just subscribed :)
Awww thank you so so much! And welcome to my channel! I hope you love the videos!
Girl I love you, you keep it real . You call bull shit when it is bull shit
Super ragamuffin situation lmbo haven't heard that word since i was lil i just love u💗💗great video
Thank you so much for this information.
If you’re denied several times you can go to the desk and show them your history and they will put you on the cancellation for that day list. I’ve had a few friends get in like that. So many people just give up with the denial txt
waiting for your paris vlog, then!
Yes, I would like to see a video with price comparison. Thank you
Thank you for this video! It's nice when you hear the real truth...I have an idea, I am one of those of people who live in the area near Paris, and I can try to book an appointment online everyday. I have never bought at Hermes and can't afford to buy any bag from them, however I am curious to see how long it will take me to get an appointment (maybe NEVER, hahahaha! 😂). I will let you know if that happens, so we have proof of that as well
I love when you say ragamuffin hahaha. Ok, on to the rest of the vid!
Me too lol
I really don’t understand the Hermès game now... at first I can, they do this to create a hype around this bags, put that crazy prices on, and people still pay for them. But now, it’s insulting that they treat that way, you will pay 10 thousand +! You must be treated like loyalty at least.
People are getting tired and they pay a couple of thousands more in the pre loved market and getting exactly what they want.
I had a similar experience at the Sevres store when I had requested for a Birkin or Kelly in a neutral and the SA was telling me they had none in stock when right next to me, another shopper (local Parisian who appeared to have a long relationship with Hermes and was greeted like old friends by the SA) was offered 3 Birkin styles in different neutrals and sizes. She declined all of them.
damn
Tee Dang I had same experience last week 😂😂
hahahhahah! after our voice note, I made an appointment with my local SA, going there for coffee tomorrow. Will send you some goss ;) already priming them for my next B25. Ugh! :D Paris sucks, what a disaster.. especially compared to our earlier (good) FSH days!
Yep never believe them! Totally agreed with you that they always have some nice bags in the back!!
i love your no bullsh*t & honest opinion
You should come to Switzerland Erica, I just walk in my Hermes store in Zürich whenever I fell to. I think this is the hype about Paris which makes it so difficult. I know many women who decided on friday that they want a birkin or kelly and on monday they got it.
Denise Rau but maybe they have purchase history. Not same for tourist
I’m visiting Zürich now and asked for a K or B , the SA just smirked and said ohhh noooo we don’t have those bags 😒
Would love a price comparison video. I'm from Europe but haven't made a point of trying to get a B or K, yet. Kind of regret not having started while they still had the old system...
Erica, great video! When you went to Athens did you try to score a bag from the Hermès store? If yes, what’s your experience with the boutique
Anthony P i was few months ago in Athens and when I ask any chance for the constance the SA literally laughed at me
Yes I would love a rice comparison and if you want to be really really nice you can also do the same video with a few brands like LV and Chanel 😉
This is what I saw before on TH-cam. Ugh I am hoping to score something in Orlando this week. Lol 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It would be great if you can do a video for price difference (US and Paris).
1.wonder if phone numbers and/or passport numbers are now logged so if a purchase was made in past year (as example) then request gets rejected automatically? thoughts?
2. this is the time of year when H is beefing up production for christmas to send bags/products all over the world, specifically for December
3. one's USA sales manager or SA can help with Paris appt if you are a client/friend
4. best thing is to just go to Sevres, be casual, look at scarves, heck even twillies, chat with SA + see what happens well after store opens so less tourists - locals do have relationships w/SA's there, just as we do in US
5. H wants to cut down on resale so can not imagine they would allow them more appointments vs others
I just was offered Birkin 30 in Luxembourg after 1,5 years waiting, but experience was great, we came with my friend had champaign and chat with SA. My friend took Lindy 30 in Rouge de coeur color.
Erica, you are onto something about buying RTW as a segue to landing a Birkin. There is so much competition now. What if you want to buy an alligator SLG then ask for a Birk?
love this video~~
Thanks for the info. Can you pls. do pricing on Kelly and Birkin bags (Paris and USA price comparison)
adding to the below, HAHA, I got a sneak peek into the Hermes vault here and they had every single color and bag.. I even told my SA, yea I know you have it, but I won't trouble you about it.. he just smiled :)
Have you gotten your custom bag yet? I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Did I miss it?
Canon - No it hasn’t come yet! I know of people that got their SO in 6 months and some that are still waiting after two years! I am hoping I am lucky and mine arrives soon!
Hi Erica, love the video, thank you for share the tips , I’ll go to Paris tomorrow and I’m ready to find the appointment in Hermes but I don’t think so that I’ll get it but I’ll try 🤔 otherwise I’ll go LV, Dior, Chanel, YSL, etc etc! If you know somebody in these store, to find some pieces, please let me know 🤗😘
Hermes now has a shop within Fraser's in Glasgow
just buy from reseller and preloved. Good for the environment and for the pocket
That’s why I haven’t been to an Hermes store,ever ,,I don’t think that is fair that I have to spend a huge amount of money just to see if they’re going to offer me the bag that I like,,that’s why im more than faithful to CHANEL 😊
Erica, Please make a video about the price difference of Hermes! Highly interested!
Yes please do a price difference!
Omg your energy! Hahaha I love your honesty, yes ! These women on Instagram are so catty at times, like we all can win !!
Yeah Mel in Melbourne was told by an SA to get there by 9:45 at least
Skyebright1 She also said she got hers super easy. Her husband was offered one and blah blah. She’s gotten like 3-4 in past 2 months. Erica speaks the truth!!!
Ruth St Arre well the one her husband got was in Prague, but two Birkins or Kellys in a week is a little crazy if everyone else is not getting appointments or being told there aren’t any for sale
Truth Truth Truth everything u said is Truth 🤣🤣🤣 u know i’m tired of talking with all the SA of any hermes store 😌😌😌
Love from Sweden 🥰🥰
My cousin and I was offered more than one bag in Paris. We turned the ones offered down because they were in size 35cm. The only 30cm bag was a weird green color that was very bright. It is possible to "score" more than one, it just may not be in the color or size that you want. I ended up just buying a briefcase and she bought a nice scarf.
When is your custom Birkin bag coming :)💕💕💜
We haven't forgot Erica
Thank you for telling it like it is. As much as I would love a Birkin, I refuse to play the Hermes game and will likely go with a reseller when the time comes.
Very interesting. Thank you. And I m interested in the video about prices. Thanks have a good day 😊💎💎💎💎💎
yes, price comparison video please!
I hate the games they play! I was in Paris last summer and experience the same as you did. Would be nice to have a video on the price comparison xxx
I love all your videos!!! I can’t afford luxury right now but I always watch.
Btw.. I just remembered someone catfish me with your husband’s picture. I was in high school. It was on the (kik) app. It was super weird. At first I failed for it but then one day I was doing a workout video on TH-cam.. and then I saw your husband 😂 oh my!
Brenda Santos - omg my husband gets so many messages of people that find fake accounts on facebook and IG using his pics! It’s crazy! Thank you so much for watching my videos! It makes me so happy!
Hi Erica, I have a question, when you were at the Hermès store in France. Did you (and most buyers) just ask for what you had in mind, did you also ask how much the bag (you like) costs? What if the SA offer you a bag you like, but you find out it costs more than you expected… would you ( or other people) walk away?
Oh Erica, I just love your no bullshit attitude and would love to have coffee with you in Paris someday, after we both score our dream Birkins!!! :)
Thanks Erica!!! It’s so sad to know that most videos or insta stories that I have watch could be a lie 😔😔
I always see how youtubers flaunt their miraculous no purchase history but scored a B or K in awe!!!
Thanks for sharing the tip on building a relationship with the SA there. It only makes sense that they too also need to earn some commission ya...but that also means needs to make more trip down there....
I also don’t really have a good impression with male SA....somehow I feel intimidated by them...
erica, fellow brazilian here... obrigada por criar um canal no youtube! serio eu sempre venho aqui p score some tips on future investments! estou economizando para comprar uma bolsa dos sonhos e seus vídeos têm me dado muita luz para que eu possa fazer uma decisão worth the $$!!❤️❤️
Why should we continue to buy from these stores if they constantly lie about having a particular item or not? It really makes the experience sour.
Lovely as always ;) Love from Magnus
Hi Erica you are saying that people who are living in surrounding area and London are taking advantage because they live in Europe? Hermès is a European brand and you can’t blame European people for having this convenience. How about people who live in London and never score a birkin or kelly bag because there are a lot of wealthy Chinese and Arabic clients who spend hundred thousands of ££ and always get 3-5 birkin or kelly bags per year? Hermès stores have different policies, for example like in Monaco, only residency can put their name on their wait lists or Amsterdam is open wait list only for Dutch residency. Paris on the other hand, any one with no purchase recorded can score a birkin or kelly bag. That is why it is harder to get an appointment, but easier to get a bag.
perfect comment

Couldn't agree more. And there are so many things made in U.S. which we in Europe can hardly get (except maybe when we travel into the U.S., which has become quite a hassle) or only by paying high taxes or fees; so why shouldn't we try to get an appointment, too, if we saved up for a Birkin or Kelly? And another thing: as an absolute autumn and winter lover, I always travel to Paris or London or Vienna (...) in pre-Christmas time; I love the wonderful lightning. But - of course I'm not the only one, many other people love the atmosphere in this season, too, so it's not really empty! And: no, you can't just jump in a train. I live in Germany, and today I had to cancel my journey to Paris, because of strike in Paris; you HAVE to have a seat for travelling, so you can't just enter a train, if this train doesn't have free seats anymore (or, in my case: you can't buy a ticket, because nobody knows if the train will run on that day). It's even worse with Eurostar (that's the train which goes from Paris Gare du Nord to London St. Pancras); you have to check in, meaning, your suitcase and bags and you yourself have to go through control (just like airport control, except you get your suitcase back and keep it with you in the Eurostar); you have to check in about an hour before your Eurostar will leave, you are not allowed to simply choose another Eurostar, but only the one you booked.
You don’t need an appointements in Tours store (near to Paris 2 hours in train) and you get your bag easily. Not a full shop because is not in Paris but is where Hermes born. Really cute hermes shop in a beautiful city. Look in google : Hermes Tours.
The Hermes Verrou is cool ;)
