None of this has anything to do with the topic. There are, however, several threads on the subjects raised. I do find the railing about reselling amusing and not a little puzzling, considering that those

apparently not in favour .... resell.



But as I noted there are threads for that discussion. :back2topic: please.

I am surprised this came so late lol...
I agree with you mistikat, this "railing"- as you call it- does not have to do anything directly w Vienna boutique alone, it just maybe tries to explain the situation of the Vienna Boutique, and many others worldwide, to people/members, who are still puzzled by it, or they simply do not comprehend why, after some long time, they still do not have their bags. And to be honest- i could not care less, as i do not have this problem 😄.
Now- please back to topic, dear ladies, i do not want to have this thread closed, as I think it was opened with a good intention 😊✌️

You're surprised this came so late? Why would that be?

There are so many other threads about why it may be difficult to get a bag. That's not the topic of this thread. Other discussions need to go elsewhere.

I read this book long time ago, when it first came out. Its a very entertaining reading, but not up-to-date anymore either.
The way he was doing it was still "class", despite any personal opinion I may have of him. And only a relatively small circle of women knew and bought birkins not speaking of kellys back then. Yes it was in SATC, and magazines too- but it was a certain type of a unicorn bag which "masses" did not even dare to think of acquiring. Then it became more accessible, hence more popular, and the result we see.
The thing is though, and I repeat here lies the problem imo, that H employees found this a good way to make extra money and so it goes. Resellers bribe and buy some inventory, regular clients buy what they REALLY need and many times perceive a b/k purchase as costly enough to pay anything on top aside. Hence- they have thinner chances of getting a bag, lately even getting on the lists.
And we do not even want to know of the internal battles of H employees- even in Vienna, hardly ANY old left- i heard the competition was unbereable for some, some people simply do not have the stomach nor nerves for such things.

How big a bribe was paid by those you know have paid them?

OP- wow, this is horrible to hear. Hmm, why don't you report this to Hermes corporate? If SAs are pocketing bribes, corporate should know. Is the Vienna store a franchise? If so, there's probably a clause in there that they'd be violating. From any perspective, it isn't ethical business practice and probably against H's gift and entertainment policy (most companies should have one, may be titled differently across companies).
