Thank you for sharing that article; Axel Dumas says all the right things like: SMs autonomy in selection and supporting low unit production runs.
The chart is very interesting and shows that sales have doubled in less than ten years.
Clothing appearing to be quite a growth sector; silks consistent; but no surprise in the rise of jewelry with the tales on here of Birkin hunters being encouraged to buy jewelry in the hope of achieving their holy grails.

He does. Everything he says is consistent with the ethos of the brand. It also explains why some styles are just impossible to find - it’s not just artificial scarcity to keep prices high.

“Can the Birkin Bag Survive the Resale Market”

Thank you for posting a link to this article. Interesting read indeed. :flowers:
IMHO, regardless of fads that come and go, I believe it will not affect those that truly love H products.
It is, however, disheartening to read that some VIPs purchase quota bags to sell to resellers; quota bags that otherwise could have been offered to non-VIPs.:sad:

I guess what they don’t realize is that in the long run they’re making their own collections less valuable by flooding the secondary market with more bags. Am I wrong?
