If she has 4-5 quota bags “from her SA” under the tree, she would certainly get some incredulous side-eye! I don’t follow these her at all, but I always love to see RTW and nice things.

I think I would rather just buy what I want at my own pace... 40k is a lot of money to just roll the dice on a bunch of random items haha. Plus that circular box with a hole in the middle is the entire nail polish set isn't it? That's honestly such a bad box IMO.

lol I was just going to say I see the nail polish wreath!! :lol: I was offered that at my store but like... what to do with that much nail polish??

Also I don't know... $40k/ 24 days = $1666.67 per day... let's be honest, what can you get at H for that amount 24 times???

Yep that box just feels so wasteful to me. Plus not all of the colors of the nail polish suit everyone's skin tones equally.

If you have mostly a few twillies, some fashion accessories, a blanket, cushion, some shoes, leather/change trays, and lipstick, that might give some room for 1-2 bags as well as few small FJ pieces towards the end? Because usually with advent calendars they start small and increase in oomph right? I'm not too sure though since I haven't watched her videos.

She's already on box 5 I think. It's been SLGs, homewares, jewelry and shoes so far.

I think it's cute. But my SA would have to know me like the back of their hand for me to trust they'd pick out SO many items that I would love.

The whole thing with Ms Faubourg makes me extremely sad. I have been following her through the Pandemic. She had a niche that NO one else was doing. She showed the behind the scenes at FHS. Maybe new products that wasn’t available in the US or online. Even just a little picture of FHS in the morning before the customers arrive or photos of new decorations make most of us happy. I was excited and always looked forward to her posts. Like many of you, I noticed a change last year.

It wasn’t about Hermes anymore, but her account started to shift toward HER and the need to be a prominent face of FHS (like Michael Coste). There was more dance videos inside FHS, and less contents about Hermes and the store itself. She should have continued to show more Hermes products, and the store. Instead of dance videos, maybe a quick interviews with other SAs would have been fun. Give us that fantasy and accessibility that we don’t often get to see. I would have loved to watch that. Imagine a weekly chat with diff SA from diff department. What’s new? What’s next? What’s exciting?

I saw a missed opportunity, and I quickly lost interest. People were kissing up to her regardless of what she posts and that may got to her head. She didn’t have a vision for her brand and kept doing what she thought was good contents because people were eating it up. No one was telling her to stop, and everyone were encouraging the dance videos. She then started to dip her toes in the influencing world and befriended many many “D list” influencers. We all saw those cringy meet and greet at FHS. On one hand, we have Michael Coste who welcomes celebrities and the socialites. Don’t get me wrong, he loves the attentions too but he is very careful about what he shares. There was still an illusion and mysterious aspect when it comes to his page. On the other, Melissa opened the flood gate to all, such as Erica and Mitch and whoever else. Sure, SA should be able to welcome their friends, but if these friends exploits the experience, it cheapens the fantasy for everyone else.
Can you imagine how cool it would have been if Melissa does it Gossip Girl style? Never show her face , and just be a mysterious fairy at FHS like she did at the beginning of the pandemic.

I agree and I actually didn't see it coming that she'd quit her job..... That's so interesting.

There is a lady in Australia who purchased a red B30 from a pre-loved market. then she proceeds to complain about it all the time. this makes me so sad to see people getting influenced by fomo and not truly loving the pieces -buying a birkin just to say that they have one in their collection.

more recently, same lady goes and buys a phony black mini k “to try it out”, meanwhile she has a beautiful mini lady dior and other small black bags in her closet.

She started to buy H bags now? I thought she wanted to be the Dior queen of Australia, or am I way too behind for this?😅

And not try to throw in items that couldn’t sell…or at least not too many of those.
