So why shouldn't these people be able to buy luxury goods if they have the money?
Why should predominately "western" countries be the only ones able to obtain Hermes products?
Sure, we don't want to see the quality decrease but refusing others from obtaining something that they've probably worked really hard to obtain is selfish and arrogant.
Hermes is a company and as such is there to make money..pure and simple. It makes economical sense for a company to expand into new markets if there are buyers willing to spend. What if Hermes decided "actually we should only sell our bags in France and close all the other stores to make our products more exclusive" Would everybody be as "positive" about that?
Furthermore, do you honestly think that Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce will refuse to sell their luxury vehicles in the new and expanding markets of India and China? I doubt it, and neither will Hermes...
