I can’t watch the whole thing.

But. I continue to be mystified by people who claim to be Hermes regulars but still think they can go “abroad” to someone else’s home store and just get whatever they want. It is a selling system based on personal relationships - if you hate that then buy resale - if MY home store SA was always giving away the best stuff to tourists I’d be so annoyed. So why would I think that just because I go abroad those SAs should work for me - they have regular clients too. Just because I’m on vacation doesn’t mean regular people don’t live and shop there. I’m seriously so confused. Is it only Americans who think like this? Like we are on vacation so anywhere we are is a tourist location so they should sell stuff to “tourists”??

To be honest, of course, you’re right, but there are also those who are caught in between.

I am Turkish and do not live in Turkey. Finding the bag or shopping when I go to my country is impossible. I only go there for treatment anyway.

My hubby is French, but we live abroad as expats. We go to France, especially Paris, twice a year.

There is no H in the country we live in.

In this situation, I end up being a tourist in a place that could actually be considered my home store. If I don't try my luck, where else would I have the opportunity? 😣😒🥴

I do understand your point of view perfectly.
Somethimes there is exception.
But I love the fact also that even if you are in a city with loads and loads of tourists as I am, the boutique seems to “protect” there locals in some way.

If I were to give an example from Paris, even my former neighbours, local Parisian people, are chasing online appointments. Of course, I assume there might be some advantage to being local in the system.

In any case, the brand should definitely strike a balance ❤️
 
So Sophie's latest video she is saying the hermes kelly belt is the replacement for the gucci marmont belt trend and it will soon be "out" of style. Thoughts?
I would not go to that chanel for actual fashion advice or styling. She mostly does collaborations with cheap, (too-tight) copycat Chanel-style clothes. Also her H knowledge is third rate at best.
 
Imagine spending TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars buying Hermès item after item for the opportunity to buy a bag, then having all these items in your home and making videos like these. Talking about how uncomfortable they are. Encouraging people to spend and spend to get the bag, then making videos like these. Bashing those very items. Literally this is disgusting. Buy the shoes, buy the bags, take the pics, then when you’re bored or banned, start bashing the brand.

I am convinced she is now just relying on rage bait to bring her in views. This is ridiculous. She wasn't complaining about these things when she was telling her followers she has the secret sauce for how to score a bag.

She's just trying to be "relevant" in the world of social media.

I want to watch it to see what she says and I have outsized curiosity but I hate giving her views because she annoys the heck out of me.

Someone on Instagram recently asked if she had been banned by Hermes 😅

Someone on Instagram recently asked if she had been banned by Hermes 😅
She’s one of those who crave attention even if it’s bad. She’s never going to admit if she was banned. She will just buy from another account. All the money she’s wasted on those other items she’s now bashing just proves that she would take anything offered just to have a piece of it. She can say “buy what you like” over and over, but she’s proving that she didn’t take her own advice. Whatever it took to get a bag, and any bag offered (case in point the Nata sellier Birkin she’s admitting that she doesn’t like carrying).
