Getting a Bag with NO Purchase History. MY HERMES JOURNEY! 7 Quota Bags! It is possible!! 

This story is a unicorn story. 99% of all the journeys out there aren’t like this.

I feel like a beggar in Hermes !!! Walk-in buying so much not being offered a bag. Begged and unsuccessful. I’ve never felt this embarrassed in my life. So now I buy pre-loved with great service ❤

You have such a beautiful collection Deb! You’re very lucky in the UK that you have a Wishlist and so much more stock then we have. Your story would never happen here in Australia.

I have been waiting for sooooo long for you to make this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for as always remaining down to heart.

This really goes to show that every “Hermes journey” is different and there’s no specific rules

Hey there, Deb. This was a really fascinating video. I’m glad that you had such a positive and satisfying experience with Hermes where you wouldn’t compromise. Kudos for you!

This was a very interesting video, so refreshing to hear you got the bags you wanted without playing a game ❤

How fortunate are u❣️ Not only fortunate to get ur first bag without a purchase history, but to get more than the so called limit in a year. I think it's bc ur so lovely.

Wow this is so refreshing to hear, and that blue is beautiful!

Such a great story. Never thought of falling off a list after a few months. Thanks for sharing.

Totally loved this. It was very insightful. I always thought you are more likely to get it in Paris rather than other cities due to stock. Loved your Birkin in red and I'm someone who only go for black. It was really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I think that you where confident and that helped. Many young girl are insecure and buy the Hermes to boost their confidence. You dont need the bag to boost your person. I think thats is why you got it. We all put money on things that get us happy, it could be jewelry, bags, cars or clothes. I would personally not buy such a expensive bag because i am a person that forgets thing all the time, mobils. bags, etc

Deb, I think this is phenomenal advice-just being a polite and respectful person goes a long way. I think asking the SA to please explain the process is pure gold. I did so (in the US) and my SA was very direct with me. She told me I’d need to spend first, which I truly didn’t mind as I adore the brand. ❤

You seems kind, thoughtful, honest, polite and the the total opposite of pushy and found the right SA and he appreciated that.

I think it is quite different in America and Australia from what I hear. Different again in Paris. In the uk my experience is that it used to be a lot easier but harder now, especially with the wish system. Tfs and congratulations on such a great collection. Obvs I love the etain kelly 😉

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great tips! I think being polite and humble goes a long way in developing a good relationship with an SA. It really depends on the SA too, I think. I remember asking for a Picotin in a certain combination a year ago but my SA at the time did not put anything in my profile. I only found out after my SA left and I met my new SA, I asked about the bag and told me they didn't see anything on my file! but they ended up offering me the Picotin in the specs I wanted about 5-6 months later and my current SA is great. I shop at Hermes sometimes. I love the brand and buy only the items I love. I started buying with no intention of asking for a quota bag although I do love the Kelly so maybe one day I may inquire. You have a beautiful collection. Xx

this was so interesting and informative

This was such an interesting video!

Your nails match the bag! 💅🏻 and that bag is beautiful! One day 🙏🏼🤞🏼

YOU ARE SO LUCKY 🎉 CONGRATS

Touchwood! So fortunate! Enjoy in good health. 😊

Thank you! I am subbing!

I live in Indonesia. They won’t even talk to you about a bag. You’re lucky indeed! ❤

Lovely video❤

Sadly as Jo has touched on above they fairly easy years 3 - 4 years ago are pretty much in the past . Up to 2021 it was fairly easy to get quota bags. I got offered my first gold within a few months 2019/2020 then 2 other bags within 6 months. One of my friends walked into Selfridges London and walked out with a black B30 Togo , no purchase history in 2021 however she has never had another offer since even with some spending. Not one offer. I would say early 2022 things have changed quite a bit across most Hermes stores. I’m not sure if you know my Hermes history, not sure if we have discussed it but summarised , I only changed to London because both my Glasgow store closed and then my wonderful Manchester SA was promoted out of sales but I was offered 3 bags in Glasgow with barely any spent and bought 1 and was offered 2 in Manchester and bought 1 and rejected 1. My first visit to London store I hadn’t even decided if I was changing stores but my SA had to pass on her clients and I was gutted as she was amazing. I had a great in depth conversation with the SA of a friend in London, discussed my whole history with Hermes and they for sure spent 15-20 mins reading my whole account. Every single detail. Thankfully I didn’t need anyone to get me “in the door” per se with quite an extensive purchase history but it certainly was nice as you know and I was so grateful to be with a friend who is familiar with this store when you are potentially striking up a new relationship with someone. They SAs are not daft though for sure. Sadly during the pandemic years the stores where bag rich and customer poor. It’s a whole new ball game and then you have to add all the Chanel jumpers of the last 12 months. Demand is insane now compared to availability. Hence we now have the wish system more streamline. What you describe is exactly how it was, email and you could do an extensive list. There isn’t many people getting bags with no spending today. There is exceptions but within most countries it’s rare (except Paris ) I guess it could be a mix of clever business but for sure a measure of loyalty which I think it’s fairly fair. My 3 SAs I’ve has have all pretty smart. Kind but very smart for sure. ❤. It will be interesting to see how the next couple years pan out , the big increase by Hermes circa 10% hasn’t stop the demand so far. Xx

15 months of waiting, 0 purchases, I get my Birkin exactly as I wanted it

WOW, great story! You hear all the chatter but I really don't think there is a set system. Thanks for this video!

I have a clemence leather Kelly. It is quite heavy. I think that the look of clemence leather is gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing. You’re right, the “process” is different depending on the country. I would say that your experience is the exception and not the norm though. However, I don’t think you have “zero” purchase history. You had 2 purchases. So although not extensive, it’s still a purchase history.

I have a similar history but it was from pre Covid. I would get two bags a year with virtually no other spend. I even got a special order. All from a local boutique and one in Paris when I just walked in with no history and bought two belts and didn’t have time for appt system since I was leaving the next day. I’ve just assumed from the current stories that this journey thing is all related to post Covid demand. So I’d like to know your timing on purchases.

That is NOT how it works in the US at all. I am a collector as well with an amazing SA... but if we want bags here... we spend. PERIOD. Most times the first quota bag is the easiest to get but after that... hard. Very competitive here. xoxoxox

I went in, i felt lost, it was my first time to go but I know this building so well, i actually watched this building go up. I took courage asked around, someone showed me the elevator that took me to the 4th floor. Nobody greeted me, but i asked for an SA, someone came after 10mins, asked me about what I wanted, i told her exactly what I wanted , nothing else, no purchase history like zero! Came out with a Bag!!! All leather garden party bag in 30cm, gold with paladium hardware.

10:30 so, this was not recent? I guess back in the days, it was much easier with no prespend. I got my kelly 3 months after store opening but my spend was 1:1 in store and maybe 1:2 all together. Thanks for sharing

I have subscriber who has the same type of journey as you, I think it is just the attitude of the brand towards mature ladies, is different in comparison to aspired and inspired by influencers, including myself, I am just that newer gen for them that wants to own the bag😀 and the brand milks us for that, which is bad as well. Though I dont play these games too. I got 2 bags relatively easy, but I am sick to hear from my SA that those bags are sold only to deliver pleasure to their biggest clients and that she stopped even to say “hi” to me when I by occasion was shopping with another SA, I had limited time to buy a gift and since then she doesnt even say “hi”, this behavior is unacceptable in client servicing area, and brand should control this, instead of that they promoted the system of mystery of relationship with SA and gave them “unlimited power”, which is not true, but they behave like they have unlimited power. I even think the game is the same, it is just based on different psychological aspects of different generations. Like if elegant lady with husband comes in, they most likely have enough money to shop there regularly and they will at least brand hopes so, and they will maintain the reputation of the brand, the young one, may not be so representative to the brand, but ready to play this game in order to deserve the bag. So first will return because she is thankful second will return because she has not deserved yet.

I’m sorry if you covered this but I didn’t catch when this was or what year you inquired your collection

I just discovered your channel. I love your lipstick color and your sweater. Would you mind sharing the details for each, please? Thank you!

She said she purchased an earring and her husband bought a belt. So it’s not a “zero” purchase history. Click bait to make the rest of us feel stupid 😂

Here's the thing tho: If I were to waltz into the Hermès store on Friday and they offered me a Birkin, I wouldn't buy it lol. The money! THAT money! It is only a handbag, afterall. 😅 But I keep hearing that people get one just like that.

What do you do if you live absolutely nowhere near an Hermes boutique? I would literally need to take a flight to get to one so going back and forth is just not possible.

What year did you get the grey Kelly?

You are very lucky .

Which Hermes branch did you get your bag?

Wow! What an amazing story. Your bags are so beautiful. Just goes to show that being friendly, polite and, most importantly, being yourself pays dividends. Do you know what the system is for non-quota bags? I would love an Evelyne 29 (black clemence with palladium HW to be precise!). I'd like to buy from the boutique rather than preloved if I can. Do you need to make a leather appointment for non-quota bags or can you just wander in and ask??

I love this post. Thank you for sharing. If I could very politely point outone thing, you are pronouncing Hermes incorrectly. It's a silent H as in Ermes.

Why didn’t you play the lottery that day ?? Same chances , and you got a quota bag twice 😂 I didn’t even got a received answer for the mail I sent to my SA and been shopping there like a year now 1/1. But anyway you enjoy them 😊

Hey just keen on how do introverts or people who cant do small talk achieve a bag like this :)

What an awesome experience you’ve had. I saw a few American RU-vidr’s that went to Paris and left with a Birkin or Kelly first time walking in, one with no purchase history. One of the stories is his husband told the SA he wanted to get his husband a Birthday gift and their trip was part of it and viola they got a Birkin! The next RU-vidr went with her daughter and offered them both a bag, the SA knew they were there on vacation and even let them film in the store. The Mom and daughter had a small purchase history but only things they wanted, they weren’t working up a tier. So yes miracles do happen and somehow I think it has to do with the approach, and of course not all countries offer things the same way. @Steve Jan and @Ericas Girly World were the RU-vidr’s for reference.

It is interesting that you mentioned no purchase history, but purchasing earrings. Buying Hermes jewelry of any kind is certainly puts you on a radar of a sales associate, as it is a high “impact” category, so to speak. And then buying a belt and looking at other smaller items also is taken into account. Just saying…

The bags are beautiful. But its like begging them to take your money. Being "offered" a bag. They aren't magical.

Warum soll man denn diese anderen Taschen kaufen? Es doch besser nicht über den Preis der Sachen zu sprechen, die man geniesst, oder? Ich verstehe die Aussage hier nicht.

Talk about "misinformation", Haya Glamazon needs to drag this garbage so hard to the other side of a wormhole into the next Dimension lol
