How much you have spent last year in Hermes?

[chicinthecity777]

I think this is a tacky question. Money is personal. I think it is more appropriate to share purchased items than discuss the amount of money spent.

I agree!

I'm a malaysian, have lived/worked in Singapore, HK and now Aust/HK for the past 10 years. Most of us do not ask such questions. Tacky is the right word.

Yep! I have never come across similar questions from people when I was in many parts of Asia neither.

It could also be age related, a lot of young people (that makes me sound ancient) would see no offence or problem with the topic and wonder what the big issue is !

I'll just add my twopenneth and say that in polite society a person simply doesn't talk about how much money they spend, it's seen a vulgar.

100% agree. Although I don't think it is age related either-- I am in my early 20's and was raised that it is simply unacceptable to flat out ask what someone has spent on anything. This is the case for my social circles as well, no young person has ever asked me this!

I think OP you asked out of friendly curiosity, and there is no harm in that. You can probably figure out what lots of the ladies here have spent by comparing their reveals to the current Hermes price list :giggles:

Although I dont have a habit of asking around about other's people $$ related issues but Millicat, I learnt something valuable from you today and NOTED TQVM.

That is nice of you to say, Crazyforhermess

I personally wish the moderators would close this thread. The original topic is not going anywhere and it has turned into a thread on etiquette. I am sure OP has gotten the message.

I think people are just trying to help Halothane

At a very young age, mum instructed me it was bad manners to ask what something costs. Does this transcend all cultures? I am not the Supreme Being. Such a question is not something I would have ever thought to ask. Number one, mum would rise up like a demon possessed and have a go at yours truly. Secondly, it is not something I need to know or even want to know.

Why not just stick to the topic?

It's 2012, times have changed, people speak more candidly about it. What is inappropriate to me or you isn't always to someone else, KWIM? It's not illegal, and it doesn't break our rules.
I would never answer the question, so I'd just move on by since I wouldn't answer it so anything I may have to say about it would be off topic

I agree. If you don't want to answer, move on. If you do answer, I'm sure everyone here will take the response in the spirit it was given and use it for information purposes to gain understanding into Hermes and their own customer status.

TPF is usually such a supportive place, free of judgement - let's keep it that way.

Somethings should never, ever be counted...like ones' age, how many husbands or boyfriends, how many pairs of shoes you buy or how much you spend at Hermes.
Let some things be......and just keep going!
