**Hermes Chat**

Do you know what other boutiques in the US besides Madison can do it in-house?

I’ve only used Madison but I believe San Francisco has artisans on site.

Yes, after sales service can help with this but will require you to leave your bag with them to match the color. This can be done at Madison (I’ve done it) or at other boutiques with aftercare specials; a smaller boutique may send the bag to Paris.

Thanks so much for your reply , am in Melbourne but am assuming procedure should be the same ?

Thanks

I’m unfamiliar with Australian boutiques but I would imagine there are after care services available especially for an easy fix such as this. Best bet is to head to your nearest boutique and see what they recommend.

Adding: you will want to be certain the bag is an Hermes product (most tPFers recommend using an authentication service when opting for a secondary market purchase), otherwise things could get sticky.

thanks so much !
I will get it authenticated ☺️

I am watching a video on how the luxury supercar industry works, and the game looks identical to the Hermes game. I thoughy only Hermes did this but I was wrong. You have to buy less desirable car models and then hope you can the car you want. But dealers can promise you the car, take your deposit, and then not give you the car. Hermes, Rolex, and luxury supercars. Its all the same.

Yep, nothing new---and unfortunately we all are guilty of enabling this behavior

I saw some Anémone a couple weeks ago in Courchevel (the boutique, not the leather), but it was all dated for 2022 and earlier. I’m sure they will bring it back, though— it has become a classic colour.

One of my fav colors. Not in production now but I’m sure it will come back in the next few years.

If my SA says I need to look at other “metiers” for my qb what does this mean?

She is suggesting you shop different categories (silks, homeware, jewelry etc)

She is suggesting that you diversify your spending into other categories. Probably means RTW and or Fine Jewelry.

Send in someone to see the bag, take a pic of the production stamps and trace it to who bought it. Blacklist said person.

That’s just one example but I’m sure it could be done.

The above quote was part of a discussion in the thread on Investment Purchases of BKCs, in the context of how H might do something about the resale of new boutique bags. I've recently noticed that the stamps appear to be blurred out on some resellers' listings and I've wondered why a reseller would bother to protect that info. The new owner will obviously be able to see the stamps but it doesn't seem that whatever info is conveyed by the stamps would be useful to a buyer. But if in fact it's the case that the stamp info is viable as an identifier of an individual boutique bag sale I wonder if H is actually paying attention to this, in advance of doing something about it.....

As far as I’m aware, blurring the production stamps is namely used as a deterrent to prevent counterfeiters from copying the stamps (which unfortunately does happen quite often). The current format of the production stamp has been designed with the intention of only being intelligible to Hermès, so if a bag comes into Spa and the production stamp doesn’t match up to a record of a bag with the same details, then Hermès will immediately know that something is off. Of course, there are dozens of other details taken into account too, but knowing whether the bag and the production stamp match can greatly help to expedite the process of vetting/authenticating.

I just really wish they made the Lakis strap a bit bit bit bit bit bit longerrrrrrrrr. I can hold it and it doesn't even touch the floor. When I sling it, it looks as if I'm trying to sling it like a backpack. Haha. Houston, we have a problem!
