Well 30% is better than nothing right? Also a quota bag x year not to bad also.. I wouldn’t mind tbh
I know well who you're referring to - been following both for years now on YT.
If you look closely, you'll notice the embossed serial number next to the Hermes logo on the Kelly she gifted her daughter.
And yes, 30% off is not bad at all!
Many major fashion brands, only offer 30% off to employees.
Don't worry stressing about exposing them - If on youtube - they are well in the public domain!! I have seen the videos ... interesting but obviously avid collectors. Lucky to work for the brand if they love it!
Actually I didn’t pay attention to the close up of the bag… does it mean something? The serial number I mean..?
From my understanding those bags were all gifted from her mom besides one she got herself in Sydney. But her mum is a huge Hermès lover
it may mean its a bag offered to staff in a private internal sale...
Yes, but how much do they make? Under $100k? After tax, that doesn’t make much room for quota bags, even at 30% off.
I'm struggling to imagine that any SA's would be buying B's and K's with their salary, even if they got a pretty hefty discount. But I guess I'm only thinking about "regular" and likely younger people who are working to make a living, while there will always be people from well-off family backgrounds that are maybe able to spend the majority of their income recreationally. Or more mature SA's who've already established their lives and can enjoy the perks more freely.
Not necessarily. I know an SA from another luxury brand (not H) well. Her family does well and she just took the job because she doesn’t want to “stay at home” and she’s a good salesperson lol. Her kids go to private schools and she definitely buys luxury items.
Bags are excluded from the personal employee 30% off in store, while everything else is included (RTW, HOME, PERFUMES etc).
This is because, they can get them from their personal employee online store (at least, this is what I've been told by my friend who works for H). I honestly don't know what they're priced there and I also don't want to ask ( I think knowing they're sold for a fraction of the price we pay them in store, would probably turn me off from purchasing any more).
But, if its like Chanel or Gucci, were employees can access these portals, I wouldn't be surprised if bags are priced at only 10-20% of the RRP.
