Not in the traditional sense like Hermes put this together for consumers to buy. She gave her SA a budget, he picked out all the items and she opens one each day, like an advent calendar. She did it last year.
That’s what I was thinking. Actually I was thinking a saddle. I hope she rides
Woah. Thank you for explaining. This is just so far away from normal life. Even for my highly priveledged, lucky to be able to buy basically whatever I want at Hermes, life. Mind blown. 🤯
I don't understand how they can just make money selling tips to people and hermes doesn't care? I guess its just more money for hermes at the end of the day bc these people will encourage them to spend
Frankly thought the display was tacky and sick in the head. I couldn’t believe the number of comments gushing over this level of materialism and consumerism. It says a lot about what society is focused on today. Success isn’t measured by the throngs of orange boxes around the Christmas tree. And much of what we see in social media is make believe. I see success as being kind to others and giving back. Whatever happened to the true meaning of Christmas?
Edit - also can we please stop normalizing excessive shopping on social media? It blows my mind when I see people with closets of 100 plus bags and multiple shelves and racks of clothing. I think there needs to be more focus on appreciating what we already have. There are also things money can never buy.
I understand the critique but feel like a forum dedicated to luxury shopping really isn’t the place to be turning up your nose at over the top shopping spree/hauls. We’ve had posters on this forum that have shared what some would deem as excessive shopping it it’s always met with celebratory type responses. Because this is the kind of place for those things. Just like certain corners of social media are.
Much of this forum is dedicated to the appreciation of luxury and craftsmanship and history. I have not seen anything on here that even comes close to the gaudy and over the top gross displays of consumerism displayed by this rando person on sm. i will turn my nose up any day to an “influencer” who needs validation from a bunch of strangers oohing and ahhing over orange boxes likely filled with things that no one else wanted to purchase at the boutique like lumpy Heidi gloves, overpriced scrunchies or some heinously colored kaftan moo moo type dress.
Full disclosure, I’ve only watched this one video and haven’t seen this duo’s other videos. They made me chuckle a few times because of their stories and the dynamic between the two. Just a warning, it is a long video.
Agree here @SDC2003, one has to have the mindset to know how to give, care, share, be kind & thoughtful
but too many are spending time filling their closets to show & tell .There is a huge disconnect &
sense of superficiality, but too many just don't have the emotional depth & sadly this is the
direction of the world.
The world is changing & even with people that were raised with wealth are finding these social
media scenarios pathetic, unrealistic & offensive, JMO
At the end of the day there is no better feeling than "giving back".. You can't buy that for $$$$$$$
