Overheard Hermès

[_birkinboy_]

Recently at Hermès:

My SA offered me my dream quota bag after one year waiting.

I’m freaking out and trying it on in a mirror (no private room). As I’m soaking up the glory and trying different poses, I overhear an SA providing an overview of bags to a newbie:

SA: and this is a Birkin 35 in blue jean with palladium hardware.

New client: oooo this is nice. But I was thinking I need a smaller one with a pink or brown or grey..

**client notices my Gris Meyer B35 bag and runs over**

Client: oh my god! That’s an amazing bag. Are you taking it?

Me: uh…I mean…

Client: because if you don’t I will

Me: lol, sure you will

LOL. I wonder what her SA thought of this interaction? 😂

Recently H in Madrid:

As I am browsing jewelry, a local lady is having an unsavory meltdown

Local: skips 3 hour line and asks where are the bags
sa: ma’am we currently do not have any at this moment (another LOL moment for me for the poor local lady being trolled)

Local: but your a leather store
Sa: yes and we also sell other items

Local: when will you get bags? How will I know
Sa: you can always check again tomorrow

Local: come here? Again?
Sa: yes maam. We receiving shipments regularly and sometimes daily

Local: tell me what you are getting tomorrow
Sa: I’m sorry we do not know what we are receiving until it is here

Local: what!!!! What do you mean. How could you not know
Sa: for security reasons they never inform us when an item will come in, please check again daily snd we may have bags

Local: @&)$&@-&” about to cry storms off visibly red and mad

Now near me, a lady is looking at a Kelly and at a crossbody large Evelyne.

Directly heard at H:

I went in to browse and to see the dif in sizes between the 24/24 21 and 24/24 29 for travel, fyi was told there is a 3+ hour wait to be helped LOLLLLLLLL

As I was leaving, the gentleman at the door gives me a once over and asks me: can I help you with a leather appointment right away, as we have received bags today. I thank him and politely decline. Buahaha only happens when I’m NOT shopping and my family is waiting outside texting me to hurry up.

A guy talking to DH ( I overheard while I was in the dressing room)

Guy 1: I admire how you voiced your opinion (that the jacket didn’t fit on me when I came out to show him)
DH: I’ve had a lot of practice shopping
Guy 1: Me too, but for many years, just a lot of ties, pocket squares.
DH: what bank?
Guy 1: JP Morgan Chase, ___ (specialty )
(Then the conversation continued about specifics)
