The trouble with Hermes is that it is insanely overpriced. Take the picotin bag- it's a rough-edge, single layer piece of calfskin. Cut out with a clicker press (takes about 2 seconds), sewn and put together within 10 minutes. A very average leatherworking hobbyist should be comfortable to make this bag to the same standard as Hermes within 1 day with simple tools. Even if you bought the finest of the finest leathers out there (which this one is not), the bag would not be worth more than £200.

This is the most common criticism about the picotin. Quite affordable for an Hermes bag but insanely overpriced for the kind of bag that it is.

The really wealthy people must find it amusing to see all of us poors saving our dollars to afford a luxury purse with very little value other than showing-off to the other poors. But man, a new luxury purse feels so good to wear around town.

Tanner Leatherstein here on YT has really changed my mind on luxury! With luxury brands you’re literally just paying for the name and “status”. A good quality leather bag isn’t cheap of course but it shouldn’t cost you an arm a leg and jumping through hoops to get one. A Coach and a Chanel bag will do the same thing and have the same lifespan the only difference is in the name…

Mmm.....Sophie as long as you are not in a hurry to get a Constance as it is becoming more rare than a Bikin or Kelly. Unfortunately the hype on social media to me does not make brand appealing any more. You can only carry one bag at a time. I have, Gucci, Louis, Hermes bags yet I carry this cute Primark cloth bag

I think if people’s hearts are set on a bag /brand/ design, they will buy it regardless of any price increase. That‘s why these price increases do not deter customers in spite of loud online protest from clients. . If anything, it brings more exclusivity to the brand. Also, I learned the hard way that I will not be happy with “instead” purchases. In a few months, I am back to wanting the original item. My 2024 goal is not to buy but if/when I do, I’ll buy the actual item and not a lookalike. In the long run, it’ll save me money. Obviously, financial freedom is the ultimate goal but a bit of luxury along the way won’t hurt anyone :-)

I think that to assess if something is "worth it" or not one should go further than just resale value. Some people don't buy expecting to resell. Craftsmanship, materials used, quality of leather and hardware should factor in this type of avaluation. The picotin, for instance, is waaaaay overpriced for what it is. It's a piece of leather, no lining, barely any hardware, simple construction. How is that supposed to be a bargain???

having shopped Hermes for over 15 years the thing that they do well is to stand behind the quality of their products. yes the prices are stratospheric but everything they make they will repair or if they can’t will compensate you in some way. so the quality of both the products and the service stand the test of time. but to each her own, the designs can be underwhelming and the wait times can be increasingly frustrating so it’s not for everyone. thanks for the bag prices round up sophie! happy new year 🫶🏼

Although I can certainly afford Hermes, Chanel, Dior, etc I will definitely be reconsidering making a purchase. At this point unless I absolutely feel like I can’t be without it (the spoiled brat in me) they can shove these prices up their 🍑!
