I don't think Hermes fully wants to shut down the resellers, especially of the NIB bags with plastic, etc.
If they did, all they have to do is have the SA see who they offer bags to, and track if the customer ever wears the bag when they come into the store. And prod/encourage them to do so. If they still don't, they just want to keep it in pristine condition and therefore are looking to buy to resell. Doesn't seem that difficult to do! Yes, some people resell for a different color, etc but if it becomes a pattern then imo it seems they aren't in it for the appreciation of the brand.

Also did anyone see the newest TFBS updates??? It's crazy, won't post here bc it might be OT but take a look.
Anyways it supports the alleged claims LM buys fakes - in case anyone had any doubts!
It's very interesting, however TFBS also highlighted (in their list, haven't seen an interview yet) a "real collector" who definitely has posted fake bags.
There's just too much fakery. Fake bags, buying and returning, fake follower numbers....it would be exhausting to even try to care
Am I the only one who is triggered by how some of these influencer/youtuber pronounce some words? I get that some Hermès colors can be hard to pronounce, but in my opinion, you should at least be able to say Hermès, sellier and retourné correctly. I am tired fo hearing Hermeez and selli-ER.
The SA was referencing the instagram account Hermes Bonbon. It’s an account that post new items that become available on Hermes’ website. They don’t sell anything or post themselves it’s just an informative account to show what’s new or if there were bag drops. I think SAs get a lot of business from it. People will see something they like then reach out to their SAs about it.
You know what’s worse? When the SA pronounces it wrong. *facepalm*
Oh it’s so good. Worth a follow. The username definitely checks out.Ah! I had never heard of this person/account...
Never thought about that
I live in a francophone city so it never occured to me.Exactly. My brother is an SA at Madison and follows Hermes Bonbon. He gets quite a few clients coming in with screenshots from their account. Lots of Hermès employees and designers for the house also follow. Non-flex and informative, worth a follow.
I don't listen to any of these people, but that would kill me.
She is a normal SA and H does not approve of SAs having H-centric IG accts. If anyone follows her regularly her H content is a fraction of what it once was and she usually will not be the first to post a picture with clients, she will reshare. H has strict rules regarding sm accts for their employees, MC is obviously the exception.
And the "re-torn" or "return" Kelly
