Hey Mel I am more interested in the Picotin and the Victoria (I personally don’t like the Kelly or Birkin) is there a list or a procedure for those bags too? Or can I just walk in? I have a long family purchase history at Hermes but not an individual one...thanks!
Wait, did I just hear that Marianne has only used Hermes bags ever since she got her very first Hermes bag? So she wears an Hermes bag every single day? Wow! 🤩 🤩 🤩 She is a true expert.
That is correct my dear. Hence why her IG account is called @orangedaily very fitting! She is a wealth of knowledge, it was soooo fun chatting to her (we spoke for hours), the video was actually pretty challenging to edit lol
That 30 year bag is in better condition that some 30 year old people. Damn she takes care of her bags. But as expensive as they are u should properly care for them.
Best Hermes video I’ve watched ever. Her passion for the brand made me appreciate the beauty and quality to a level that has neutralised any prejudice I have of the game.
Marian has discovered hot water... all designers keep a catalog of designs and all they do is recycle them over and over in different fabrics, materials and colors. This is what they do.
This lady is a wealth of information. I am so glad that she debunked that myth about epsom leather. My SA also told me that epsom scratches can absolutely be repaired. She advised that should I have questions in the future to ask the leather specialists at my local boutique instead of watching videos by people who are not experts (as I clearly am not!), are likely not even serious collectors and probably have only a few years of experience buying the brand. She really schooled me!!!
Several of the luxury brand stores act like they are doing you a favor by selling you a product. Dance for me if you want to buy something from me. That is degrading and demeaning.
I desagree with Marianne’s answer on how to get a Birkin or Kelly. I bought my Birkin in Deauville (France), one year ago, and I hadn’t purchase anything from Hermès before. I just walked into the store actually looking for a Bastia coin purse, had a lovely chat with the sales associate, told her I had always wanted a Birkin. She told me « oh, then I have something to show you ». I waited like 5 minutes and she came back with a big orange box, she told me it had just arrived. And that’s how I got my first Hermès bag !
Yes the minute she answered that question i noticed even Mel has a bigger knowledge than her, so I also disagree Mel raise her as Hermes expert.. Mel seems much more up to date with knowledge.
That’s absolutely NOT the way it works for the most part though hun. There’s no chance here in the US. I’ve heard in the smaller European countries people have had incredible luck with being offered highly sought after bags, but it will not happen in most parts of the world sadly.
Mary Poppins yes i ve heard it s a very Long waiting list (very strict) for example in Germany as a large country ... then Czech Republic as a smaller country with a low ratio of wealthy tourists compared to Germany or Switzerland as a neighbouring country Mel herself proved you can walk in with zero history and be offered .. but it s really not how it typically works... I ve heard it sometime works for people covered in van clef and Cartier jewellery 😂😂
This lady has an exquisite way of communicating, I loved her! To be honest, I really wished you hadn't talked over her so much, Mel. I understand it was not your intention, but as your voice was louder than hers, every time you repeated what she said in the middle of her sentence, it drowned her own voice a little bit. Loved the interview, though!
Kate Miller I think it was worded as a very polite form of advice that might help Mel improve her content in the future! Classy as Mel is, there is no way she will read anything else into Natalys comment and neither should you. It was still amazing content.
Yes her accent is beautiful and she is full of knowledge and passion about the brand. No of course it was never my intention to drown her voice out. But as she is a very quietly spoken lady, I purposely had to repeat what she said so it was clear to my followers. Many of my followers can’t understand English that is accented, although I personally find her French-English accent beautiful. It was Marianne’s first time on camera so there were many takes but she did so well. I think the most important take home message is that we both enjoyed our very long chat and it was hopefully very interesting for you all too. It may have seemed like only 40 mins here but there was hours of footage I had to edit and re-edit. Because we were filming outside, it especially challenging to get all the sounds balanced. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it nonetheless. We know we both sure did! :)
@@MelinMelbourne I totally understand why you did it, it just personally didnt work for me! Thanks for replying so politely and kindly, as I would expect from you!
You and your guest Marianne are delicious!!! However for me, the utter pretentiousness of the Hermès brand is vomit inducing. Play the game???? Dance the dance????? Just ludicrous.
Mel I have loved this video so much I have watched it twice and still feel disappointed that it has ended!🤣 It was the most wonderful and absolutely fascinating video I have ever seen. I love the passion you both share for Hermes and I couldn't stop smiling the entire duration. It was fabulous. I had a glass of wine and felt like I was participating in a conversation with friends! Loved all the information shared and my love for Hermes has only been deepened by this video. Thank you so much for sharing. It was wonderful. ❤️
I really enjoyed this video. I know for a fact that I could never ever own an Hermes bag but I love learning things about the brand and their bags. This is so informative and fascinating. And I super adore Marianne, such an elegant and lovely lady. Thanks for sharing this, Mel. You're smart, elegant and timeless.
I’m so glad I watched this. Now I know what HAC came first before Birkin! On a side note, it really depends on which boutique you walked into and whom you happen to be talking to. My mom, sis, and I walked into a flagship. We happen to talk to the manager of the store. Next thing you know, she brought out a croc Constance in black as well as an ostrich Constance in pink. Plus kelly backpack among other bags! Needless to say my sister and mom was in bag heaven and ended up buying three or four bags that day.
What a compliment! Thank you so much Erika! I’m so happy you loved it so much! It was a big challenge to edit this but at the same time I really want to be able to share this information with you guys in a casual and fun manner xx
I love how Marianne appreciates the craft and art and history of these pieces. How nice to see such an approach, unlike all those influencers who just want to get more and more of those status symbols, and don't even know what they're buying...
Can’t wait to watch! I went to an Hermes artisan exhibit in Sydney many years ago and they walked you through how they produce every item. It really made me love the dedication to the product. I am not someone that would buy the bags, well at this point in my life, but the silks, methods and techniques were so impressive!
Thanks for sharing, Mel! Marianne is a wealth of knowledge! 🙌 I can’t believe she was offered 5 exotic Birkin 25s at once 😱 I also love her vintage bags with the gold initials! 💖
Enjoyed this interview, thanks! I have the same Kelly ostrich, except mine is size 28 from 1997! The quality is amazing!! Wanted to confirm Marianne's answer for her Hermes travel bag of choice??
This was fantastic! 45 minutes went nowhere. Marianne is a gold mine of information and so elegant. I agree with her about the box leather. I have heard it is fussy to care for but so is lambskin and people buy that in huge numbers. I have looked at so many photos of vintage Kellys online and the modern leathers are pretty and practical but I keep going back to the box leather. It’s the original Kelly leather and has so much history attached to it and it’s so luxurious looking.
Cardi B just bought a Hermes birken for $256.000 that Hermes spent $800 to produce! Quite the mark up! I think women are getting played by our friends in high fashion!
Love that a chic French woman isn’t getting stuck in it has to be a Hermes Twilly on a Hermes bag, Gucci Twilly on a Gucci bag. It doesn’t matter if the colourway and style works with the bag. It just has to look good.
Wow, this was such an amazing video. Marianne is absolutely lovely and Mel, you did a great job presenting us all with this very interesting and educational info. Thank you! 💕
Oh Mel what an amazing video. Two wonderful women together sharing their passion of Hermes with the world. I could watch this over and over again. What an amazing experience for you to have. Something you will remember for ever. Enjoy your gorgeous Hermes and I can't wait to see what you buy next. Stay safe. Much love, Jenni XX
Oh my goodness, I actually put off watching this video until I could find a time to relax and fully enjoy it knowing how long it was. But wow, this did not feel like 42 mins at all! It felt like we were all with you having a girls chat :) She's so lovely to listen to and so interesting to hear her stories and experiences and just how much joy she finds in Hermes. Something about the French accented English, I love! I find it so endearing. Thanks so much for sharing your interview with her!
@@MelinMelbourne ❤❤❤ Thanks for replying me back!! I don't own any brand name items but LOVE watching your videos! Love how professional and humble you are 🧡🧡🧡
I'm quite a recent follower of your channel and what i love is that you live luxury goods but you also admire the craft behind the bags and the knowledge that is involved in making these wonders. Luxury in bags is a quality level ans standard before being a trend! I love your videos and I've learned a lot from this one! Hermes is a very nice and established company and i admire their savoir faire so much!
she’s wrong. chevre is the most durable. once epsom gets scratched it chips away a layer of paint and texture imprint. where as chevre being goatskin is water repellent naturally and virtually unable to scratch.
Thanks Mel for such a great video! I learned so much about the brand! Great interview w/ Marianne! Timeless, elegant and smart describes you and Marianne perfectly!
My pleasure lovely! So glad you found it so interesting! It was such a good chat but it got super challenging for me to edit as we talked way too much lol XX
Wow that black croc Kelly is a new dream of mine. Last year I came across a vintage box Kelly with my initials I should have grabbed it but I had never seen one before so I was nervous that it was fake. I just received my first Kelly and am waiting for my 7rp insert, so exciting. Thank you for sharing you passions for the brand. I am often torn bc the bags are so much money and it’s only a bag but I’m proud to wear it bc of it’s heritage.
Hi Mel. This is a great video. No wonder you kept it for your 4-year anniversary. I heard stories like the offer of 5 bags. As long as you got money, you can get anything from Hermès stores in China. There are many Chinese bloggers sharing this information online.
40:53 literally my jaw *dropped* I mean Ive seen some people on IG posting photos of being offered many croc lady diors, but for hermes? never, not even hear of even been able to buy all of them!!!!
I just love this video. So much great information, I have many Kelly’s and Birkin bags and I love them each for different reasons. They each are pieces of artwork. Thanks very much for sharing your incredible knowledge and collection 😎❤️😎
I researched heaps before getting mine and also tried some others too. Hands down 7rp for hermes Bags are the best lovely! What colors are you thinking for what bags? Cc
Mel in Melbourne omg I can’t believe you saw my comment. For colours I’m thinking about the blanc for my dark blue bag to get the contrast and brighten things up and the green one you showed to match my forest green one😀
Hello Ms.Mel 😍, Love the conversation video, never a Dull moment in it. Very much informative👌& having offered 5 Hermes Bags and you can take them all is such a drop Jaw experience😊.#faMELy
Oh my, I just loved this video! Your interaction with Marian and your shared love and enthusiasm just oozed out through the screen. I loved it. I have such a short attention span, but I stayed from beginning to end. You're both fabulous. I hope you invite Marian again. I'd love to learn more about the history and the making of the handbags. Well done and thank you. 😊
Love this video, love all the Hermès information. I have to store mine in their boxes as I don’t have space to put them stood up. I also have 3 cats that like to ruffle through dustbags!!!
I love Marianne’s classic style, her outfit and her bags, her hair, and the way she speaks and move. Very clean, so chic and so elegant. It doesn’t scream brands, but it’s just so classic chic.
I have been offline for a little bit, so I still have a lot of videos of you that I can watch. Nothing better than this! This video is insane, she is so elegant and she has so much knowledge, its crazy! Thank you so much for this Mel. 💕
I loved this video! Seeing the beautiful Hermes bags and listening to Marianne talk about her experiences was so interesting! You have a future in interviewing Mel! Great job 💕💕
Aww your are too kind my dear! It’s fun chatting to people who have the same passion as you and we chatted for literally hours! So glad you enjoyed it, I wasn’t sure if you guys might think this interview format was too long? Xx
I feel like it’s also interesting to note the reason why the Birkin bag took inspiration so much from the HAC, was made because Jane Birkin’s then partner Serge Gainsbourg carried around an HAC, and Jane Birkin mentioned it to Mr. Dumas that they should do a similar bag like that but smaller. Technically it all comes around to Serge Gainsbourg for using the HAC so much.
I really enjoyed this video! I’m not surprised she is as elegant and fabulous as her L’serts. I also promptly removed my bags from the boxes to store them. Thank you for a wonderful behind the scenes look. ☺️
Such an informative video Mel. Thank you so much for doing this for us. I didn’t realised how time went by. Great video. By the way the restrictions are getting tighter again in vic so stay safe Mel.
That video was amazing Mel. I was absolutely entranced. That Croc Kelly 🥰 and the box leather 🥰. Would love to see her entire collection. I bet they all look brand new! ❤️❤️
Wow, I normally find that Kellys are WAY too feminine for most men but that black croc Kelly, I would buy in a second! Beautiful bag, wonderful condition. Croc and alligator are the way to go to get the most out of your bag. Durable, beautiful and last 50 years!
What a great interview with such an amazing lady. I’m drawing on some luck here so that I would be offered a Birkin one day. Yes, and I’m doing the dance that you’re both doing 💃 Fingers crossed.
Just watched this video again x Marianne is so elegant & the initials on her boxed leather Kelly are my initials too! :) Do you think she would share? Hehehe
Definitely sold in buying an hermes bag and none from other designer houses. I will continue to save and buy a birkin..... or a kelly. She Definitely convinced me to thibk of kelly too :)
out of all the four vloggers that i’ve watched that collects bag, you are the most fun to watch so far.. you have the most interesting content and educational too! thank you.. 😍
Amazing Mel like the bags that you showed and you look gorgeous wearing the brown dress. Thank you for giving us an insight on the bags and bringing her on the video thank you. Love XO❤🤗
My Hermes and other big name bags stay home now I made a all display of hanging them on one wall !! And Yes the BEST and classiest is CROCODILE...ageless ,. any color ,,black first ,..burgundy,...,,😘
Hi there, Mel! What is the name of the color of your “original” birkin? The teal looking color? Please help. This bag is absolutely stunning in this color. My heart skipped 3 beats when you opened the bag and exposed the electric blue organizer!
