I have been invited to Hermes events and a lady who is the boss of a huge resale shop is always there. And always gets bags. I think it’s in Hermes interest to have the resale market on their bags so buoyant. It makes them even more prestigious.
I am so sad that people that buy for re sale keep us who really want a bag for ourselves to have one because it makes Hermès cautious and extremely selective 😢
Agreed! I’d love a QB, but I’m sure my wait will be awful. I’m trying to just be happy with my Evelyne and Picotin and be grateful. I hate that they get the bags and have them listed minutes after leaving the store, they never had any intention of loving the bag as much as I would.
My SA is aware that I buy slgs from Fashionphile, items that are either discontinued or incredibly hard to get. They are still making wallets, but I haven’t been able to get one from the boutique, at least not in what I considered a reasonable time frame. She knows I would buy these items from her if I could. I have never sold any bags, so I definitely am not going to start with Hermes, which is actively dangerous! For egregious behavior, they have been known to ban a couple from shopping period, not just bags
But there seems to be resellers who are active for many years, and even worse because those resellers get bags so much quicker at Hermes than we do but Hermes doesn’t blacklist them. It’s so frustrating 😢
So what am i supposed to do ? I’m not a reseller but my bag is no longer practical for my needs . In the last year used it once and i use my Constance to go instead . I don’t want to be blacklisted i respect both the brand and my SA.
Do you happen to know if Hermes cares if you show up to their store with items that you purchased on resale market? Or is that a big no-no? Curious because i have a few pieces that I got from resale market and I was going to try paris store next time I go there for a bag. I was wondering if I should leave my Hermes items behind or actually wear them to the store. Mainly rings and a necklace.
Honey, honestly you cant resell it for $35-40k.. Please stop convincing your viewers this way… Investment wise on quality pieces yes! Financially im afraid not…
