Hmm I never thought there was a difference between a waitlist and a wishlist lol. Everytime I mention a particular item I'd like from Hermes, my SA would say 'I'd add that on to your wishlist'. Never thought much about what he meant.
Is the Hermes "Birkin" worth the money and the wait? Is it obtainable?

If anybody finds out the meanings of wishlist or wait list of H, could they please let me know! Thank you!
for me, when my SA asked me what my wishlist is, i told her what i wanted to have... and the wait begins but then she will eventually fulfill my wishlist. I hope this helps?
This is more me too! Got my entire 2016 wishlist completely fulfilled today! *happy dance*
I heard that Hermes is enlarging the output of Birkin and Kelly. Also they are not so exquisitely made as, say, 10 years ago. It's that true? Any information appreciated.
I do notice there are many more b/k around nowadays. I was not sure if it's me seeing the things that I want to see or H did increase the volume. I felt it's easier for people to get bag offers now.
They are adding leather production facilities overall. As for craftsmanship, I believe it varies but the quality control and leather quality seem to be down a touch - to be expected if they need to add lots more artisans- ....that said I have a 10 year old Birkin and a brand new one and they are both beautifully made.
Adding a thought to this...it's not a great thought but I do think that of the many, many Birkins and Kellys we all see, many are fakes. I see bags close-up at very high-end stores and I would say over 50% are high-level counterfeits. Goodness knows how many my untrained eye misses! So I do not think it is AS ubiquitous as some are saying.
Thank you both for your thoughts! They are very helpful. Seems Birkins and Kellys are still really obtainable. [emoji4]
I wouldn't say that. Look at the line at FSH every morning and the prices resellers command. There are many people wanting these bags who wait years to be offered even a random color/leather.
QF, when you said high end stores, did you mean well known resellers like fashionphile and Madison Avenue? Thank you.
Sorry there was a mistake. What I meant to say is that they are worthwhile to go for. [emoji23]
QF, correct me if I am wrong, but I interpreted the comment to mean when she is shopping at other high end stores and sees another customer with a Hermes bag, it often turns out to be fake upon closer inspection.
