Hermes Singapore

[papertiger]

This thread is NOT a chat thread.

We have had so many reports about OT unrelated topics that have nothing to do with Singapore H stores.

If you are not writing on something pointedly pertaining to a Singapore store (only) please post in the appropriate thread(s)

Can I check how many price increase does Hermes has each year? Am on ban island, wanted to hold for a while before getting another bag.

Also, for quota bags, even if one has the cash on hand, we still have to spend 1:1 or more before getting the bags unless just taking whatever is available?

The 1:1 spend is to establish yourself as a loyal customer of the brand in order to be “worthy” of the bag offer. It has nothing to do with method of payment or readiness to buy.

I don’t have an SA but yesterday, the SA that was serving me gently told me to continue accumulating my spend so she can propose a B/K for me. She confirmed the 1:1 spend needed to buy a quota bag, that there was no time limit to it.

I think everyone who wants a B/K/C will have cash on hand haha. As @acrowcounted correctly mention, you have to prove yourself as a loyal customer before having the chance to own a coveted bag. Hermès has a lot of beautiful things it won’t be hard to hit the 1:1 spend

Oh the spending doesn’t reset every year? I’m under the impression that spendings reset every year. If it doesn’t then that’s good

I think it resets after you buy a quota bag. Long time customers require less of a 1:1 spend for subsequent bags but it would take some time to get to this stage. Don’t give up.

I’m super new to this but that’s what the SA told me. Glad she brought it up as I was thinking how I should bring up the topic to her

Hello H Lovers!
how often should we visit the store and spend in order for us to clock in for our dream bag? will there be any issue if i stop purchasing for 2-3 months? or we must everymonth spend?

2-3 months should be fine. I remember my SA telling me as long as it’s not long periods of time like go MIA for 8 months to a year kind

Impossible. Get from resellers / consignment stores

Really like how much less for long time customers? 20% or more

For long time customers they just offer the bags on their wishlist, when it shows up. I’m speaking from personal experience as well as quite a few friends who have been long time customers.

How long are long time clients? And working with the same Sa?

I met my friends through TPF and we all qualify as Old Guard by now. I haven’t lived in SG for the last 7 years and was only a customer for that long. By year 4 I was offered SO and quota bags without 1:1. In December 2019, I met my SM by chance, at the store when I dropped by to say Hi to my SA and she kindly offered me a choice of 3 C18 and 2 Kelly 25. My last purchase from that store in 7 years was a Rodeo PM, bought by DH on a Biz trip back. So the relationship matters a lot. My friends are now offered mini Lindy, K25, heritage leathers and exotics of all 3 types. My advice
is to buy only what you want, decline the rest, stick to one store, one SA, one SM. One last major piece of advice I wouldn’t post here as no one listens anyway.

Thank you for the “tips”. This is definitely very encouraging to know. Sometimes the journey can be so hard that I feel like giving up. But it is good to know that building a relationship will help with our love for the brand and the bags in long term future. I keep counting the amount I spent and the amount I will have to spend to retain the relationship every year and I get so stressed and guilty sometimes.

Please don’t do that. A good SA will let you know when they have something nice. It works both ways. Nice customer + Good SA/SM =
(H)appiness. I wish you all the best of luck.
