Recently I was at a luxury consignment store who has Hermes. I walked in carrying my Kelly. Though they were very nice, I felt overwhelmed by the attention. They even groped my Kelly and took her out of my hands. You could see I was very uncomfortable but they did it anyway.
One lady, who is from Paris, insisted my girl was a 25. I said no it's a 28. She then proceeded to go get a measuring tape and come out to prove to me that she was 25.
However she measured it in the middle of the bag. Where is the correct place to measure the width of a Kelly bag? I always thought it was across the bottom of the bag.
I got home and checked my papers, it said 28. I can't believe the incident made me doubt myself or my knowledge of my own bag. But I was so flustered by the behavior I just stood there. Part of my wanted them to back away but I didn't want to be rude....yet now I see I wasn't the rude ones. So is it me? Wouldn't you find this kind of behavior a little strange? It was almost as if she wanted to prove me wrong. It just made me feel really uncomfortable. Am I being too uptight?
