Game is the game, if this lawsuit sticks then its going to change the dynamic of the whole luxury industry. If a product is going to be limited i think its fair enough that the brand wants their top clients to represent it properly.
Finally, a new video. I think Hermes have had a little too much power recently, so I feel that this is necessary to allow the consumer a bit more power. I understand why they give access after certain purchase history, but it's just gone too far now
Maybe I just don't get fashion or something, but wtf happened to walking away with your head held high in dignity & saying “I'm taking my money elsewhere”? So this company practically blackmailed/coerced consumers into some form of “loyalty”, but why give them the satisfaction of having this level of “in-demand” validation ? If anyone benefits from this lawsuit in the long run, it's Hermèsʼ notoriety, just imagine how this story would add to their company's lore: “in 2024 two litigious Californians with too much money to blow sued the company because they wanted the Birkin/Kelly/whatever REALLY, REALLY BAD.” What level of consumerism is suing a brand for not being allowed to buy their product even? It's not healthcare or a basic human right. And then what happens when/if Hermès bows down & starts mass producing to meet demands? Just the clownery of it all. But I'm just a layperson from outside the fashion industry so what do I know?
Totally agree, there are so many lesser known brands that make leather bags on the same quality level of Hermes but brand names have people in a chokehold so much that they are willing to go to any length to be given the chance to purchase a Birkin which is actually quite ridiculous. No one should be going to hell and back to buy a non essential.
