How Many Birkins do Hemres Produce Per Year....

Here's an interesting fact: The craftspeople who sweat the least are in charge of stitching the easily marked leathers. Seriously.
PA, good question. I read somewhere on how many bags Hermes makes a year (not just Birkins) and it's a low number in comparison to other companies bags that are mass produced. I can't remember what the number was though, and I don't want to answer incorrectly.
How many stores worldwide? How many Birkins, on average do they get per year? My store would be at least 100 in a year...
^ It must be more than that...? That's only 260 Birkins a year...Paris alone gets twice that many.
Yeah, it's 5 Birkins a week, per atelier. Hermes currently has 12 maroquinerie ateliers in France. So, given that the whole of France goes on vacation for the whole of August (by law), that's about 48 weeks, so that comes to 2,880 Birkins. 
But it's still not enough!

No, that statistic is old...they have more in production now...there was an article about it a few months back, and everyone was complaining that the quality would suffer, or that the bag would no longer so so exclusive. I'll try and dig it up.
