With no further context, I do feel kind of sorry for someone who gets dumped by their SA.
What’s your unpopular Hermes opinion?

Who was that? Some hints please. Not the Aussie? I thought the tears were from being black listed and embarrassed.
No pity from me. No one would have known if they just zipped their lips. The further humiliation seems brought upon themself.
Honestly, if that person's 💩 is etoupe, it's probably time for them to see a new gastroenterologist...
Have to agree on Etoupe. With all the beautiful grays and rich browns Hermès does its this meh shade of not really gray or brown. Plus I loathe the white contrast stitching.
It will truly never be that fun to shop at Hermes bc what you want in the color you want most is unrealistic unless you put “work” into it and even then sometimes not avail.
I'm just picturing that conversation...
Patient: The color I'm looking for is etoupe.
Doc: Can you just point to the closest example on this chart?
Not sure if these were previously mentioned but I have three:
1. I refuse to buy Avalon pillows/blankets because all of my friends have them.
2. I've seen so many evelynes on women who are older than I am whenever I visit my parents in Seoul that I now associate the bag with older women. I think the style is lovely and really convenient to use though!
3. The pattern on some of the H Deco plates remind me of fish scales and I can't unsee them! I chuckle every time I use mine

1. We the customers should not be forced to be involved with the politics of the stores or among SAs just because loyalty is rewarded with birkins or kellys.
2. We the customers are not knights in shining armours to defend our SAs when their commissions are under attack.
3. We the customers can of course help and be kind and be nice but it’s their job to sell.
-End-

Although 25cm fits my frame best, I am liking the look of larger bags again. I took out my 32cm Kelly yesterday and loved the easy, chic vibe!
What drives me crazy is when I’m looking at a real estate listing, and they casually have an Avalon draped over the arm of a sofa in one of the lounge rooms.
I’ve seen them just often enough that I’m wondering if professional house stagers have a half dozen (possibly “in the style of”) Avalon blankets in their storage warehouses.
My unpopular opinion is that you can't be "ghosted" by your SA unless you have been dating your SA.
And if you have been dating your SA and still haven't gotten the bag you want, I don't know what to tell ya

My unpopular opinion is that the discourse around Hermes sounds a bit unhinged. "So happy you were granted your wish!" Erm, when did H become part of the Make-a-wish Foundation?
Also, the point of the pre-spend isn't to prove your loyalty, love and appreciation for the aesthetic of the house. It is to prove to H that you are from the upper echelon and can afford to regularly pump up their bottom line. The corollary to that is that they don't want their items to be carried by, or associated with, the lower classes. It's elitist and classist but, it's also pretty clearly communicated by their policies so you can opt in or opt out (no judgement or shame either way).
What confounds me is why they are so eager to court social media influencers and the aspirational young shoppers of this generation. Why create the retail equivalent of the Hunger Games amongst them when they don't fit your criteria? H doesn't need this balloon of hype; it has always been and will always be top tier.
Another unpopular opinion is that some of the older generation of H buyers really aren't getting the respect they are due and I feel they deserve better. Many have already filled their houses with fine china and furniture, and their closets with RTW and jewellery, from decades upon decades of purchases. If they don't spend much now, it's only because they have all they need. Yet they'd be overlooked when a quota bag arrives, in favour of the hot young thing who happened to spend a lot in the past few years. All the talk of history and loyalty, but they're only looking at short-term history and making their judgments, not considering that the OG loyal customers should be free to take long breaks if they wish but still be treated as the VVIPs they are when they walk back in.
Finally, it can't be healthy to give SAs the power trip of determining who is *worthy* of an offer and who isn't. They're not some deity who can value your worth as a human being (though you'd think it seeing the way many speak of changing everything about themselves to try to coax an offer out of their SA).
Phew! Didn't know I had all of that in me until I started.
