there is one occasion when i was carrying an hermes shopping bag and an empty box for garden party size 36.... I requested my SA's help to keep the box for me....That's totally true. I was wearing my Birkin today to do some shopping at Saks (just to see if I would get treated differently; I was also all dolled up for a party later today), and I swear that I received more "help" from the SAs than I ever have. Sometimes they would look down first and then offer "help" or vice versa, but I was definitely treated differently.
i walked into a store... the SA greeted me very nicely and commented "nice bag...."
