Influencers and Hermes

The one point she makes in this video that I think is most pertinent to us is that Hermes is “mistreating” loyal customers in favor of young, trendy influencers. Possibly just younger, trendier clients. I do feel like I’m aging out of Hermes in a way. Like they really are looking for the 25-35 client.
Hermes knows the youthful client doesn’t generally have the deeper pockets. But, their corporate philosophy, somewhat a traditional one, has decided that their product in the hands of select youthful influencers and clients keeps the brand young. IMO, that’s simply a reaction to the long ago decades when sales were low and Chanel and Hermes were considered brands for an older generation.

ETA: having said that, I think for the pricing of Maison and the slim cut and color palette of RTW, Hermes has a distinct type in mind regardless of age. Pretty sure that this factors into who gets coveted items (given how long I wait for things, I’m not there lol ;) But, that might also explain how some select influencers are more successful than others

I saw her instagram and thought she was kinda cool. Like not braggy but over the top rich. I don’t support fakes of any kind because there’s always something nefarious in the background of those making them. Although, in truth we don’t really know that there’s nothing nefarious in the background of Hermès either, but at least they (if their claims are true) employ true artisans and well trained craftsmen’s and have a history of their product. And as far as people saying for security reasons…people in the snatch and grab robbery profession won’t take the time to check the stitching and leather before they grab it on the street. So why risk your life for a fake? Fake jewelry is the same thing. And if she can afford the bags, she can afford to insure them. So I don’t get carrying a fake.
 
So I guess some of the bags on Lydia's collab with Sellier selling her bags were noted that they were not her own bags, and just bags she selected? And Jess is saying not all of her bags were listed on the site for sale?


I got the impression that Sellier selected some bags that were just her style, but maybe she selected them and did an edit to go along with her bag drop? I’m still a little unclear. I don’t think she sold all her bags either.

I only saw 2 of Lydia’s actual Hermes bags listed for sale on Sellier—her vintage toile birkin 35 and her vintage rouge h kelly in box leather. The rest of the bags sold as part of her “edit” weren’t her actual Hermes bags. I’m not convinced she’s sold any of her other Hermes bags.

That’s very interesting. I mean I don’t really care if Lydia sold all her bags or whether she has decided to hide them somewhere, but the fact is everything we see in Social Media is kind of a very edited version of reality. Sometimes there isn’t even any reality :hrmm: Such as those videos claiming that Hermes is going bankrupt etc. There does need to be some sort of regulatory process as to what people can and cannot claim.
 
What does “monetize the unmonetizable” even mean?!? Selling her old clothes on instagram?! Those clothes are from at least 2018 and some are stained. These shoes are “unmonetizable” Insulting to put those up for sale in that condition.

She has no sense of style or taste whatsoever. While she was married, she had money, yet even then her outfits looked dreadful. Some of the items aren’t bad on their own, but on her, they fit like a saddle on a cow. And now she’s trying to sell them—as if she thinks people are complete fools.
