  Have you played the Hermes game? Did you end up scoring a Birkin or Kelly bag in the end? How much money did you spend trying to score a bag? I&apos;m so interested to know!

  I&apos;d just go to Japan for Hermes, it&apos;s more expensive but it&apos;s worth the time and annoyance being treated like a beggar for a bag. Japan is in another level, Hermes can&apos;t implement their unethical sales strategy there, very contradictory to their culture where customer is a king, there&apos;s no looking poor or rich, customer is customer 🙂

  I&apos;m in shock watching this. I&apos;m not a luxury (bag) fan, this just popped up on my YouTube. But you shouldn&apos;t have to build a relationship with an SA or buy a ton of stuff just to be &quot;offered&quot; a bag...what the heck?! You&apos;re a customer who is spending hard earned money.<br>They are basically coercing you into things you don&apos;t want to do! How is this legal?

  Without wishing to sound rude, why on earth would anyone spend thousands of pounds on pieces they don&apos;t really want in order to try to curry favour with an SA in the hope that they MAY be offered a bag?!<br>I&apos;m a luxury bag lover myself and am currently looking into buying an Hermes bag preloved. My attitude is that if you really want the actual bag then just purchase it preloved. That way you won&apos;t be falling for the sales pitch (as that is clearly all it is) from Hermes &nbsp;that makes you spend thousands on stuff you don&apos;t want for an undefined time. <br>I&apos;m the customer, &nbsp;I want the bag therefore I&apos;ll buy it. Paying a premium preloved for a still brand new bag is still way cheaper (and less humiliating) than dancing to any brands sales tune.

  I am an established customer at a very competitive boutique. I am regulary offered quota bags but I have noticed that this year has been especially competitive for everyone. At my boutique, bags don&apos;t really count towards prespend so your Picotin and KTG would not really count towards a quota bag offer and new customers spend between 2:1 to 3:1 before they are offered their first quota bag. Enjoy what you have; they are beautiful!

  Don’t buy anything else. Just come to the store and ask to talk to the store manager and he/she will find you a new SA. Be precise and tell her what you want, not other bags or items you might or might not like. If you want a b25 or b30 first, Say so and narrow down to 3 colors. Don’t ask for a picotin if you want a birkin. Most of the managers are really nice, they will listen and help you.<br>I only like birkin and Kelly and that all I bought and I also have a mini Constance because I think it’s ok. I don’t like other bags from Hermes at all and I’m not gonna waste my money on them. <br>My advice: buy only what you like. Be precise about which bag you want and stick to it. Don’t afraid to say no on offer that you don’t like because it’s silly.

  If you really want a Hermès Birkin or Kelly bag, you’ll be much better off financially in the long run by buying in the secondary market. In this case, you don’t have to buy tons of expensive craps from a Hermès boutique just for the probability of eventually being offered to buy a Birkin or Kelly which may or may not occur.

  Buy from a reputable second-hand shop is the best option. I never had a problem getting a bag in the stores for 30 years, but I still like to shop in the preloved market due to its selections and hassle-free experiences.

  Such a first world problem. But we all pick our battles. Hope you get your bag. Should’ve probably worked with the person who contacted you when your SA left. &nbsp;This game gives H all the power. <br><br>There’s always pre loved.

  Don’t give up. My SA left last year and I had no idea. The SM connected me with my current SA and on my first appt with him, I was offered a C18. Your purchase history is your purchase history regardless of who your SA is.

  After viewing your video I feel incredibly fortunate that the purchase of my Kelly bag involved no drama nor sucking up to an SA. My husband had whisked me off to Chicago to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We were supposed to be in Paris, but cancelled as 9/11 had just occurred, yes this was 2001. Our main stop was the Hermès store for a new scarf when I spied a black Kelly bag in a case. I asked the SA how in the world did they get that bag as when I was in Paris, the Hermès store there didn&apos;t have a black Kelly. She said it was a fluke and that there were several women wanting the bag. I retorted, &apos;of course they would, who wouldn&apos;t??&apos; We had a short wait to pay for our scarf purchase and the SA was incredibly nice. I asked if I could see the Kelly and she said &apos;of course&apos;. It was the stuff dreams are made of, I never dreamed I&apos;d end up owning it. I thanked her and she put it back and we paid for my scarf. At lunch my husband kept asking me what was my fascination with the bag, I said it was just a feeling and something that I&apos;d always wanted, but never dreamt I&apos;d get. When we got into the taxi to take us to the airport my husband talked over me and told him to go to the Hermès store. The bag was still there, and it&apos;s mine. Happy endings do happen!

  The whole hermes thing is so ridiculous like why are grown adults being fooled into spending that much money on something that&apos;s not worth that much! That being said, thank u for speaking about it girl!
