I blocked this so-called "influencer" so I can never see her cringe-worthy posts. It's frustrating when influencers hide the truth about how they achieved their success. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique and what works for one person may not work for another. Focus on your own goals and be realistic about what it takes to achieve them. Don't fall for quick-fix solutions or unrealistic expectations.

Righhttt...so it just happens all the "influencers" that visited the former SA purchased fine jewelry first and then magically received quota bags after (for the record its all in their posts and was in stories). Yes there are certainly "unicorn" situations especially at FSH like buying a belt and getting offered a quota..but they are far and few between and certainly it was way earlier to obtain a quota bag prior to the pandemic in ALL boutiques.
As discussed before "influencers" and especially the SAs are not transparent at all!
Who will get the offer first.. someone who purchased a shoe vs. fine jewellery customer?! Hermès is a business just like anyother store..spend $, quota will show up, and remember you are competing with other clients who shop at your home store NOT other boutiques. Hence the prespend ratio varies. At FSH certainly the rules are different but even with leather appointments a quota is not guaranteed.
Good luck to all in the Hermès Casino!
Hermes casino is right. It’s like bag roulette
** correction from the previous post: meant to say "it was Easier (not earlier) to get a quota prior to the pandemic.**
Additionally, a former SA from London, now turned influencer, even mentioned on her stories which categories generate higher percentage for quota bags. So I am not sure why this other former FJ SA is stating categories do not matter. SMH!
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
exactly!!
Sometimes I wonder:do they KNOW what they do to their loyal clientele?
We all know the House always wins! Lol!
With their 28% increase over the last quarter, it makes me quite aware that in the scheme of things, they don’t need people like me as customers.
Sure, the magical world of Hermes is full of Hermes fairies who exist to grant wishes to some lucky clients on IG and YouTube, but I’m getting really annoyed watching all of their posts as I know that their patronage of the brand yields quite different results than mine.
I keep telling myself, just two more QB and I’m going to H anonymous to cleanse and resume my life as normal.

apparently Hermes cleaned house here in Miami, but thats a discussion for another thread.
agreed with everyone here questioning what/who are they actually influencing, especially since its a relatively new concept which has unfortunately gotten out of hand. so many people on this forum have been buying/collecting/admiring H pieces for decades.
I miss the old days when you could search for a video with an honest review (and no ads) as part of your research about an item you were already considering.

Did they? Do tell lol
there is a discussion here:
Hermes Miami (Design District) - https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/hermes-miami-design-district.806734/

I feel that courting the influencers turned the bag into something very, very recognizable and consumable. Resellers made it worse because people who watch social media but don’t shop assume the inflated resale prices are the retail prices. It makes me less comfortable to wear my items out in some situations.
There’s a reason Jane Birkin only had one birkin at a time and owners used their bags for decades and then passed them into the next generation. I have always loved Hermes because the bags are beautiful but also high quality and could last a life time.
The hyper consumption of some influencers, obviously for content because watching how someone styles a few classic bags over a long period of time won’t make an influencer business, is really off putting to me. And the H games is also encouraging lots of consumption, which is something I am trying to be mindful of in my own shopping. And the brand recognition is also a bit off putting because I am less comfortable wearing some of my bags out.
HloverCC and Mel in Melbourne come to mind and aometimes Tamara K. They cant possibly be able to use all the bought merchandise with the the frequency they buy them, possibly except Tamara coz shes a model.
Could it be that these « special associates » are the ones with relationships with management? Also, for Parisians, the three stores are their home stores! Where else would they shop? And to assume these local and French customers don’t spend at Hermes is very far from the truth. To me, it makes sense locals would have priority as it is custom everywhere else including your own home store.
I think the issue with many people have with these influencers getting bags in Paris is that they believe just by stepping foot in FSH, one is guaranteed a bag. Influencers create this illusion that everyone will get a bag, but a lottery doesn’t guarantee a bag, but rather guarantees an equal chance.
