I used to follow her on insta as she really seemed like a Hermes vip. I unfollowed her eventually because I've noticed that anything she buys she sells them soon after with the same excuses such as "doesn't suit my current lifestyle, want to put towards something else, i don't reach out as much". It's okay to let some things go every now and then but it's not hard to tell she does this for living. Well, it's also okay if you're upfront about it and tell people that you're a reseller, but instead she's trying sooooooo hard to fake being a Hermes vip. I've never seen anyone who claims to love Hermes so much yet sells almost everything that she buys from the store. Besides Australia is probably one of the hardest countries to get offered a BKC. Low stock and extremely competitive between customers especially in Sydney. I have friends who drop off 30-50k each year hoping to get a bag offer. You even need to spend a fair bit to get mini Lindy/picotin etc due to their popularities. I'm sorry but 27k in two years in Australia is literally nothing. And it's not like she didn't get any special pieces within this period of time. Roulis in barenia leather, anything in the color craie are all very well sought after. (She has already listed the Roulis for sale a while back by the way) I would be happy and thankful instead of acting needy and pushy towards the SA for a quota bag which is going to be sold for profit anyway after a few insta posts and YouTube videos. And if I'm the SA, I would have asked for help ages ago.

The Hermes game is not for everyone, I'd rather not play it if I can't afford to play.

I am sorry but I dont get why this post is still open ..

I did not check the video and do not follow this lady, nor do I want to.
But I cant see the value added on this thread. It is lots of criticism, judgement, comments about a situation we know nothing about. Even if there are some good advices as well.
The forum is, to my understanding, about supporting each other, helping, teaching , sharing our love to H. And enabling sometimes :smile:
Even though she shares this on social media, if she really needs help, this is not helping at all. Send her a DM, or move on

I am sorry to see all these comments here I have to say I am not comfortable with this..

The store never knew about my post natal depression thats irrelevant . That was mentioned in the video and one I made in the past about bags I regret selling hence why it was recapped again to stay honest which i always have been on my channel.
So there is no correlation between that and using the term "depressed in the process" which was and adjective to describe how painstaking it is trying to understand why I havent been offered a dream bag in a while.
HR didnt call to even shed any light on using that phrase they emphasized only that i brought up another clients history and they said that makes me a OHS risk to the SA. That was what they said and exactly as i stated in the video. You are making assumptions based on all the other components of the video and forming your opinion rather than actually listening to the conversation i recited that occured. And since i filmed the video right after it happened i know i recalled it all correctly. But it also explains why i was full of emotions however I wanted to ensure I could recite the exact conversation and that is why I filmed it immediately. So form your opinion on the context of the conversation dont make assumptions and look at the bigger picture here and logical corporate heirachy.
Who should have called me is the store manager to explain in customer service terms why a bag wasnt being offerer even if an excuse thats his job. HR is there for employees and the HR should have helped to provide training to strengthen the problem solving skills for the SA whom had only been working there for 2yrs. And with saying that the HR should have delegated to the person who runs the store to contact me. A customer has a right to ask if there is an issue with their profile if they are not allowed to be allocated a birkin or kelly. How the SA handles it should have been a part of their training. Customers ask every day for these bags its not uncommon nor is it uncommon for people to see others getting offers and even question that logic. It happens all around the world at Hermes stores. But by me asking i was giving them the opportunity to tell me if they just never wanted to offer a bag again however i still didnt get that answer. So my frustrations and being depressed (again an adjective) by the process was warranted because i couldnt get a straight answer when i knew something wasnt right.

If people want to bash me for being honest and kind then shame on you. Constructive critiscm i can take but taking my talking points out of context to form assumed opinion of the situation is wrong. Furthermore ALV is a concept to justify the inflation of luxury and the luxury experience is an inclusion in that justification. Calling a customer to belittle them and insult them is hardly a luxury experience but then to say they are still welcome at any of the stores is an oxymoron and reiterates that they dont care for the luxury experience of their customers. Im not saying this for all hermes but seems apparent in Australia only. Otherwise why would a person who had a direct connection to a former employee reach out to me to confirm the toxicity in the management here?

Im done. As an OG of the purseforum its a pity that some feel the need to put down others in a malicious way.

Dear @PurseOnFleek , I am very sorry you are feeling so much distress and I hope I have done nothing to contribute to that.

I think your video, which is almost an hour long and contains lots of information including screenshots of your emails etc, has been viewed by people with interest and so most people have not made assumptions but formed an opinion based on the context you yourself have provided. Unfortunately, putting yourself out there will result in people making judgments and having opinions, which can be hard and one reason why many people would not be brave enough to do what you do. I know I wouldn’t. Also you do ask your viewers thoroughout the video for reasons why all this has happened and that prompts people to speculate and give answers. Finally it is unavoidable that while some people feel empathy towards your situation, others feel empathy towards your SA’s, whom I believe is also a woman and also suffering. It is the way it goes.
Sometimes people can be too harsh, but you need not take the opinions of strangers personally. If this is giving you too much distress consider taking some time out to take care of yourself with those who know and love you. I wish you the best.
