I just thought I should share one of the reasons why Hermes staff are required to wear gloves when they handle Hermes products.
To customers, it might look like it is a big show putting on the white gloves before showing us a product.
To Hermes, it is important to protect their brand and products. As you know, Hermes stands by their craftmanship and quality, they do not wish to sell a product that has defects whether it is minor or major. Once there are scratches on the product (from fingernail or from some other items), the product can no longer be sold, even if it is a birkin (i guess except the customer who did the damage is purchasing the item). This is one of the main reasons why most sales staff are required to wear gloves before showing certain leather items to customers. They don't want their own staff defecting their own products so it coudn't be sold. It is not a big show to them (well, maybe one of those one stone with two birds effect )
I know some staff are not required to wear gloves but maybe they have more confidence in those staff, who knows?
I just want to share what I know so people don't misunderstand too much about this brand when it comes to the gloves. They really do care about the products that they produce and sell .
