Articles in magazines don't generally affect demand... and it definitely isn't going to affect how many bags Hermes makes. I think everyone that reads Town & Country is of the socioeconomic status that is well-versed in Hermes; I can't see any reason why this article would make Birkins harder to get... never fear!

I think the entire Hermes press department (whose job it is to pitch and secure press placements such as this) would disagree.

I am sort of in the middle on this one--I don't think that particular article is going to increase demand by itself; for one thing, the regular readership of Town & Country is generally not all that susceptible to "trends" and being told what is on the "hot list" for the season.

That being said, I DO think that "celebrities" and I do mean to put that in quotes being photographed with the bags makes a significant impact on the demand--which is a little bit of a shame, to me, because I think if someone buys a Birkin (or Kelly or Constance, etc.) because it's an "It" bag, they have totally and utterly missed the point of the brand.
At least, that's my personal opinion on that.

I did a thread about the same thing a while ago - mainly about VB making the bags popular, meaning less chance of us getting one, all I can say is, I will be happy when the ladies on this forum get the bags they desire!!x
