It’s a social media rat race to remain relevant. Unfortunately certain brands appear to facilitate much higher engagement rates than others. Same reason people all play the same songs or do the same silly dance on social media; it’s because the algorithm appears to push what’s trending.
I was about to say exactly this...Unless the Hermes RTW is under the radar (Like the pieces @880 wears which dont scream Hermes in the way some of the rtw does).
Or a billboard, in which case I need to be paid. To be fair, I've never been drawn to visible logos which is one of the things that appealed to me about Hermes in the first place. But Social Media has transformed the 'H' and the turnlock into signifiers, and in some ways, the company has leaned into that a bit too hard for my taste design-wise.
That sure would prove that you’re a serious client 
Why stop at RTW? Bring your own H mugs and pull it out when they offer you a drink
Heck with the blanket-coat trend going on, you might as well top it off by wrapping an Avalon throw around you and call it day. Like an overstuffed Hermes human burrito.

They prob do not serve it in mosaic au 24 because they have to be hand washedThank you @maxroxxherhandbags for your kind compliment.
I got a mini K which I love and use often bc I don’t carry much. But, here is my unpopular opinion. Sometimes a larger bag, in this case a 42 JPG fringe Kelly (one of my favorites, though definitely outdated for many years) or a 32K sellier, prunier box leather, (worn crossbody, with an old fashioned, short shoulder carry strap) is more chic and proportionate to a modern, looser clothing silhouette

ETA: another unpopular opinion is that such a large bag is actually quite impractical and still heavy even if basically carried almost empty.
@benjinito , I’ve often wondered, with the scarcity and long wait times of Hermes China patterns, whether some clients might be tempted to ask to purchase the cups and saucers in use at the store lol. Maybe that’s why the boutique doesn’t serve its complimentary coffee in mosaic au 24
Another unpopular opinion: though limited edition bags are coveted (and I’m grateful for some of these offers), a simpler bag is definitely more user friendly and versatile. I also never thought I would be a fan of epsom, but it’s really pretty sturdy lol
any reseller will ask what the market will bear. If they are reselling for someone, it is their duty to their clients who supply them with merchandise to resell at the highest price (not a literal duty but clients will go to a reseller who gets them most $$$ with least commission and they need a supply of bags to continue staying in business). If they are reselling their own items, they might only want to sell if they get over a certain amount and keep otherwise so they are testing the market in a way.
Oh I get all of that and agree, they can ask for whatever they want. And you are right- they will only get what the market dictates is the market value. The issue is that there aren't always buyers for these bags because of the prices. Many of these well loved bags aren't selling because their prices are too high given their condition, and instead, they just sit on the reseller's websites month after month after month... I suspect that if the prices were more reasonable, they would actually sell.
Theres this bag that pops up on the H website sometimes. It could be under the SLG, cant remember. Looks like SA crossbody leather bag. It is gold in color like what the SAs use.
