It is produced but in very high demand and typically reserved for known clients, though you don’t necessarily need a purchase history, like you would for a Birkin. Currently, there seems to also be a hold on bag deliveries from corporate to the stores so your chance of getting one in store before next spring/summer is probably close to zero. Always worth the effort to go in to the store and ask though, but the inventory is probably non existent right now. Good luck.
Agree. With all these supply-chain backups for some things of everyday life IMO H will probably stash all its incoming new bags in a warehouse to be prepared for the December holidays.
So true. He went thru a personal grungy phase when he was young, snacking constantly on candy bars, then got his act together, lost weight and started looking well groomed. I wonder if he had the grungy phase at the same time as buying H bags. I kinda doubt it. The bags are too expensive to get chocolate stains on them or in them.
HELP! I have a vintage bag that I need help identifying. It seemed probable that it was a Hermes bag from the 70's, but apparently via the Hermes store in Chicago, they could not identify it as Hermes and had it waiting for me in the store when it was returned from the Spa in Paris. There is more to this story... I procured the bag in December 2019 and brought it to Hermes after visiting a couple different antique and vintage collector/sellers of luxury handbags, both said it was likely Hermes and to bring it to the store for repair (the previous 'Mlle.' owner had written her name inside an inside pocket-hard to see and read clearly and was what I wanted removed). The store associate accepted the bag and explained it would go to France to their spa. It would take approx. 6 months to return to me. No problem, I wasn't in a hurry and it was obviously in good hands. Well, as we all know, Covid-19 interrupted everything and so when 6 months turned into 1 1/2 years, I wasn't too concerned. Finally though, 2 weeks ago I followed up. With my original receipt, I reached out to customer service at the Michigan Ave. Hermes store and asked where my bag was. This is where it gets really interesting...I am not sure if anyone is aware, but Chicago had suffered through several riots last summer and fall. Many businesses were looted and destroyed during this time and while I knew this, I wasn't aware of which ones specifically were affected. So, you can imagine my surprise when I received a call the other day from the Hermes representative, responding to my email. As it turns out, according to the rep, my bag was sent and returned to them in early 2020 at which time they say they sent an email stating they could not repair it due to inability to identify it as a bag made by Hermes and that I could pick it up at the store. I never received this email. I had, however, received many Hermes marketing emails since the day I brought my bag in and electronically entered my information in their system, also receiving the original 'receipt' electronically for my bag drop off and service. I don't know how I couldn't have received the email they say they sent and I don't understand why they wouldn't have sent another and then at least called me to advise. They had all of my information, of course. Anyway, they still had the bag until, you guessed it, they were one of the stores looted and destroyed during the riots and my bag was one of the bags stolen! SO.. what do I do? I have pics which I will post here to assist in identifying the bag but that is only the beginning. Hermes has offered to send me an item from their home collection, like a blanket or pillow...?!? I'm not sure that is going to satisfy this situation. But, first things first! Can someone please help me identify this bag's maker and era. I am not a collector of bags, but have an eye for the good things in life and this is a special piece. Any help is appreciated!!

If you Google Hermes Birkin Marc Jacobs beach bag, you’ll see that he uses them without any fear!
Interesting. I will do that, @Christofle, Well, that makes sense, you can't stop with just one Birkin (or kelly for that matter), so if Marc didn't go out of his way to protect his latest B, he'd just get new ones next season. Plus the provenance his name likely meant his bags, in whatever condition, were easy to sell to collectors.
I remember reading an article in Vogue quite a while back about the backstory of waiting for Anna to show up in Paris to preview his latest collection. He was dyeing a pale fabric with tea. (How would you clean a dress like that and retain the delicate color? I guess if you ask you have no business getting the it. And I think that same story went on to note that Bernard Arnault liked the audience reaction to the new collection. And Marc was shouting, "Did you see the purses????"
He did do good purses. I regret never getting a Stam bag when I saw them at Nordies. Those kiss-locks make a really satisfying clic when the bag's shut. When I mentioned kiss-locks to my H SA, he had no idea what I was talking about!!
