Today my regular SA informed me that there is a new rule requiring them to wear gloves, I think this is pretty silly...

What are your thoughts?
 
I thought they were only wearing gloves for the higher end bags. I know the SAs wore gloves during the Sac Louis and the Haute Maroquinerie presentations that I went to, and I thought that was weird. But for like regular items and everyday, it seems unnecessary.
 
She said they just started doing it yesterday and its to protect the bags from the oils in their hands...


Certainly SAs should wear gloves for Haute Maroquinerie, the Parnassea line, Nomade or any exotics, because the bags are so valuable and even the smallest mark would make them unsellable.

Moreso the bags are delicate. Gloves are a sign of respect to not just the client but also the artisan who made them.
 
I think it's fine to wear gloves. It looks a little more presentable too.

I work in the same vicinity as my local Chanel and LV store and on separate occasions I have witnessed SAs from both boutiques (male) not wash their hands after attending the bathroom lol. These guys should wear gloves :P

People can be so nasty!

Gloves might seem unnecessary because it makes for a very formal presentation and we are very casual nowadays. I don't mind gloves.
