Thank you for speaking up for common sense. Not only does Hermès play these games to get people to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, they punish the people giving them these huge amounts of money for re-selling items that are theirs to do with as they please. I’d so much rather invest in a smaller company that realizes the value of a dedicated customer. Time to make another independent company famous and sought after.

Great video - and I couldn't agree more. Many women in my "sphere" are in the game, own several bags - and seem to take great pride in being offered bags. To me, its crystal clear that the whole thing boils down to people desperately needing to be validated, made to feel special and/or worthy. Which.....I mean, we all do. It's human nature. But it's gotta come from WITHIN - not from an organization playing King-Maker, while the masses wait with baited breath as to WHO gets the crown..Bag. And btw - your skin is absolutely GORGEOUS!

I saw PurseOF's video and I'll say I've worked retail as long as i could work and Hermès is still a high end retail store. No clients and customers don't always treat us the best. I wished I could work in a place where the HR systems actually works and cares for it's employees. Hats off to Hermès HR for nipping something in the bud before it had a chance to hurt the associate, we all need reality checks. Mel made it clear she was heavy in her pregnancy and I'm not going to be the cause of your frustration and depression while in condition. She was being accusatory and leading the associate into admitting favoritism, coveting other clients. If we're going to take mental health seriously we respond to someone's emotional triggers in a way that disengages a growing concern so that both are protected. Sis, you're not going to blame me for pain and suffering and the health problems that follow over a bag..When she started using those trigger words she became an instant liability not a customer. Mel comes come off as someone who doesnt like being told NO or not right now, she also feels money supersedes all systems. Im sorry but as adults were supposed to have healthy coping statagies and that childlike entitlement should have come to a close. Mel's choice to stop working with that certain store is her choice however she won't stop buying retail Hermès so it's no loss for them but a huge relief to the associate who doesn't have to work with her again. Jane Birkin is paid for the use of her name however she doesn't even get an abundance of exclusive bags. Mel has an unhealthy relationship with Hermès and its really taken on a life of its own, she acts like she needs a heart transplant. Its the customers who drive the profit and helps set the standard and specialty for any item. Everyone that has a bag from them agrees it IS the best and when you're the best you can set that standard. They had bags for her she just didn't want them, if that's the case pay a little more and get what you want preloved. Mel spent 150,000 dollars thinking it would give her a leg up on everyone eles, well she got a whole bucket of reality thrown in her face. Mel is a big reseller of bags, she makes an huge appreciation profit off an Hermès baga and it's accessories and store probably knows that by now. There was reason she didn't get that bag, she even sells their lipstick samples.

Thank you for bringing this other perspective of the SA. I will admit that customers often overlook that they are dealing with human beings instead of just the brand & you certainly hit the nail on the head with this one. It is one thing to expect good customer service but not to the extent of causing your SA to have to take on the baggage of the emotional weight you have attached to a bag. I definitely agree that her seeming obsession with that bag was quite unhealthy but I did not want to dwell on her too much in this video, but rather address the overall idea of "The Hermes Game" although admittedly, her video certainly inspired this and many others that have since been posted. On a separate note Justine, I promise I am a sweetheart of a client. If you are still in retail maybe you can add me to your roster of clients 🥰

To me you buy them because you love them and I think that if you carry on doing this then you will get a bag as I've seen many people have. There were other issue like her reselling packaging ect which is obviously looked as not very good. Plus selling bags she's been offered. To me the whole thing is problematic

I really appreciate your video, it's important and it's time to stop this nonsense "Hermès game". We don't have to earn the right to deserve a bag. My dream bag is (was ?) a Kelly 28 Gold in Epsom leather with gold hardware. I'm not an influencer nor a super billionnaire, but I work very hard on a daily basis, so I have the money to buy this bag. However, after years of fights and strategies (and a fair purchase amount at store), I have never succeeded to get one. Two months ago, I went to Paris before going back to London, and I literaly had the worst client experience ever (both FSH and Sèvres). Maybe that's my fault, maybe I'm too ugly, too poor, too common for wearing a Hermès bag. But they treated me so badly, especially at the Sèvres boutique, and I felt like I was a cockroach who doesn't have the right to be there. Since then, I have made the big decision to stop with Hermès. I don't need a brand to validate me. WE don't need a brand to validate us.

Great video. I have been thinking about this Hermes situation now since it blew up online. I still feel like Hermes just are not interested in clients who are going to be reselling. I think Hermes pays attention to influencers WAY MORE than maybe we all realised? I think the Hermes world is very tiny and cliquey - and I think a lot of Hermes employees watch Mel's videos and maybe some people were watching her on burner accounts, and following that she gets quota bags then sells it. I definitely think it is her right to resell but I think if you have a platform online, you need to be smart about what you share. Hermes have proven themselves to be very sensitive about how they brand appears online. Maybe they felt like her reselling was not something they wanted to align for the Hermes clientele in Australia? It's still very unfair. The Australian stores sound very very tough to score in. Games are meant to be fun. I think anyone playing this game should just have fun with it but understand you might not score. I wish her the best and I hope she cheers up but H is not for the faint of heart.

It sucks that hard working, well deserving people can only dream about some of these items but the reality is that, part of the reason they are desired in the first place is due to the whole model that "not just anybody can get it". And so they have created an allure around having one which helps them to push sales and keep people's interest

But I agree with dismantling the class system (which goes against your last point about the nurse). However, I don't think Hermes plays the class system. Their bags are hand made and so the colours, hardware, one wants is not always readily available. It is one of the reasons why their quality compared to other brands is still the best. I have heard people with no purchase history get offered bags. It is just luck. You go there, they have the bag you want, you get it. Or you go there, they dont have a bag or there are bags reserved for others, you dont get it. It is life.

I am not going to get into the discussion of Mel, what I will say is Hermes never had a waiting list, they do not tell you to spend loads of money on items you really do not want. Thats what people have done over the years and put it out on social media and everyone who is desperate do the same. The first time I was interested in a particular bag, I went to Hermes told the SA and she said she would check and came back with the bag I had asked for but it was the wrong colour, so I did not buy it. I had never bought anything from Hermes, was not dress from head to toe in designer clothes and did not carry a designer bag either. In fact every time I go to a designer shops with the intention to purchase an item, I never carry or wear designer items. If you have money to spend you do not have to prove that you can afford the item, it is for the retailer to prove that items is worth you spending your money on.

This game is so pathetic and so ingrained in a class system that it makes me sick.

Concerning the amount of money she spent, this is exactly why I think Hermes does not want people who are counting the money they spend in that sense. I think Hermes want people who can spend $50K in one day at the store, as opposed to how Mel was counting all the money she spent. I definitely would be counting what I spent but I think Hermes truly want the 1% - people who are going to spend that money and not fret that they spent $100k+ over a few years. I think Mel definitely has the funds to afford this lifestyle just due to all the reselling that she does etc BUT my issue is she definitely knew Hermes and how they moved in terms of who spends a lot of money. For context, a Chanel VIP in Europe is 100,000 Euros a YEAR. I think these houses truly want millionaires who can spend a lot in one go, not just across several years. Just my POV.

Oh for sure. At the end of the day for some of us on the outside looking in, it seems like a lot of money. But the typical Hermès client can drop that money in one sitting without blinking & not because they are hoping to get a birkin but simply because they want those other goods (the jewelry or furniture etc). But I watched Mel unbox a birkin she got from a reseller in Japan this week & although she is still a little sour I think she will bounce back.

You are right, my store I work in people spent 30k in a visit and not blink an eye. The intended customers for Hermès, Chanel, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels aren’t fretting over that. My biggest client spent 200k in my store in a year and I know she buys from other luxury stores too and with other sales associates in other stores. She would be caught dead crying over bags and whether she’s invited or not. Most of these people who spent that much have been spending for 10-15 years, consistently, they have wealth and money many people can only dream off. They all started by buying lesser items but work up to bigger items. They just had the patience to not count the money they spend in the store and truly value the product exclusivity because the more discreet they are the more they get access. Not to knock on Mel’s hustle but she’s blogging about her purchases, even selling packaging and reselling some items. That is a dead give away and a no no for houses like Chanel and Hermès. They want nothing to do with Bloggers of those kind no matter how much you spent. It tarnishes their brand and will black list you in a heart beat. Once you’ve ruined your relationship with your SA it’s hard to regain that back. Other SA’s in the store will know as well including management and you would get less and less preferential treatment and less invites.

As I wrote : Im not even a " big customer " just a small Fish.My LV SA still didn't send me a message about the items I saw in their OW21 Show if they will available . Asked him 1 month ago :D ... Spot on for the Video Mam . Thank you and best Wishes :)

There are honestly so many ways to view this situation and I dont thing any is wrong. I definitely think the SA was moving to cover her butt after she made the mistake of disclosing confidential customer info to Mel. But I also think Mel in her own way was too focused on her own wishes and failed to see how one sided the relationship was. She kept mentioning how her and the SA had a lot in common. She honestly thought they had developed a rapport. But from the communications she shared, it honestly seemed one sided to me

In my life as a mature woman, I definitely don't want ANY material thing (including expensive bags) to have Power over me. We know that people need certain material possessions, such as a house/apt., utilities, food & clothing & shoes to live. Everything thing else is just extra.

If they work with the Hermes requirements & they get the Birkin or Kelly bag out of it, then I'm happy for them. But, I was never raised with "exclusive names". My parents worked (both of them), I had 2 other siblings, so money was very tight. I only learned of "exclusive names", Chanel, L. Vuitton, Hermes, etc., when I started in the workforce in NYC. A friend of mine recently bought me a Coach bag & backpack as a gift. I'm still terrified to use it, as I would always worry, about "ruining it" or it being stolen.

I mean, those Hermès closets are worth millions of dollars, those celebrities play a very expensive game. Everyday hard-working people who don’t make $5,000+ while they are sleeping probably shouldn’t play the game. I would rather have that money put away for retirement but that is my personal decision, everyone is free to spend their money the way they want and for some people those bags represent an important milestone in life. Those celebrities aren’t even really happy or grateful, you can tell they feel entitled to own it, and always want something new, so they are never really satisfied. Purchasing these bags will not bring you true happiness, in fact Hermès blacklisted her and told her to modify her behavior like she was a paid employee 😂 after paying $200k. I think people are just in love with the idea of what owning that bag represents, like you have made it in life.

I think I was also really stuck on that $200k. like legit there are parts of the world (Botswana for example where I am from) where that $200k could buy you a nice house. Could set you up nicely for retirement like you said. But perhaps for her it really was just “play money”. In my opinion the game is not for you if you are counting every penny you spend. If you have to mention how much you’ve spent hoping that entitles you to a bag then you aren’t the ideal Hermès customer. They aren’t phased by how much a person spends. they are used to seeing customers who spend that in one go🤷🏽♀️. And it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.

It's not really about being a significant customer or not, she wasn't asking for exotics. Her spending does contribute to the SA's paycheck.

Nasty behavior is never excusable, nor is it a sign of elitism, luxury, prestige.

Your video is so pure common sense and I completely agree with you. Having said that, Hermes wants to prove how exclusive and high society it is? and yet the Kardashians and more than 1/2 the celebrities and influencers in the world own Hermes. I think they come off as TACKY as a brand. There are a lot more subtle and exclusive brands around. But people are sheep so.....unless they wake up, Hermes will keep laughing all the way to the bank.

I think in general all round, a lot of people need to reevaluate their relationship with luxury goods. Buy what you love, not what is popular or trendy and you will not get caught up in the luxury rat race.

I have a Birkin via the preloved market. I didn't grovel and beg anyone to take my money. Insane. I want what I want when I want it. Period. That's got to be humiliating! 🙄

I have to say that by the time you get done spending in the store to then pay over $10,000 for a bag, you might as well go the pre-loved route and get what you want.

But then again, who buys the bag: SA or the customer? Whatever happens to "customer is KING"??

With Hermès that isn’t a concern. The customer gets what they are offered

So let me get this straight - I have to beg in order to spend USD 12000??? And I am even not getting what my perfect bag is but I am getting something what Hermes chooses? And not only this but I have to spend another thousands in order to be considered to spend those 12k? + Hoping that the SA kinda likes? NOPE, thank you.

Its so strange, they 'let' people spend a fortune on everything else, like the loveseat you showed for $35,000, and other things, I mean they want THAT money, but not the same money for a handbag? It makes no sense. If it was easier to buy these Brikins and Kelly's, they would still have buyers spending all that money, bc they love these handbags. Just like with Chanel, LV, they don't sell any less handbags even though the customers ask for them outright. The outright gaslighting they play, and people getting so hurt like Purseonfleek. I don't understand why what happened to her happened, but, I am curious, is it normal to have such a fast staff turnover as in that Sydney boutique?

You are absolutely right, people would still buy the bags without the whole game. But I highly doubt that most people would still buy all their furniture and fine jewelry. I think that is the whole point of the game, to move these other high price items that we generally never hear people raving about in the same way they get excited about the bags. With regards to the Sidney so I honestly am not familiar with its practices & have no idea why it had such a high staff turnover. But its not uncommon in retail to have high staff turnover

they play long term. if they made birkins and kellys readily available there would be an increase in buyings at first, but then these bags would loose their image of exclusivity, and in the long term less people of the élite would buy them (this happened with louis vuitton and gucci). this is bad for them because they kinda based their whole worth on those two bags.

Honestly, unless I owned a resell business or purchased bags for investment, I would never play the Hermes game because I am not a fan of their designs.

I personally love their bag as well. but I will never consider buying a new one. I dont think it is worth my time and effort for the whole journey.Hermes simply didn't value and judge customer unfairly and the behaviors and the difficult buying experience they created makes its brand more privilege which is so sick. If its truly an Art, they should put it for Auction or lock in the museum but certainly not selling it like a mistic game. At the end of the day, it is just a bag...... gee.... so many girls brain washed by this. Unbelievable. Basically this Hermes game make certain obsessed customer mentally ill. seriously they should consider consult a mental health practitioner.

and nowadays these bags are available and accessible through resellers that the whole game now seems stupid. they should just allow customers who love them to just buy or be able to order the bag they want
