..and can save your a$$

i decided to write this just maybe it can help some wonderful ladies here to justify their spendings on hermès

i am a hermés addict since years and years and really managed to accumulate a gorgeous collection during the last decade but then it happened. my exhusband filed for divorce and even though i worked ans got a good salary i was totally lost and nearly homeless. as all our accounts my jewelry collection and our real estate were frozen until the final settlement (which unfortunately took ages to be solved finally)
the only thing i had was myself my bags and my shoes nothing else but a girl need to live somewhere and could´nt get my hands on my or our funds to get me a condo furniture and a car i need to sell my hermès collection. with the result : i got more money for old bags then i paid at the time i bought them and for the newer or unused ones nearly 50% over listprice (my sa helped me to sell my collection to another collector)
without my bags i would have been totally lost and on the streets but due to them they paid my interim appartment a car and all the expenses during one year of divorce struggles.

SO LADIES NO NEED TO FEEL BAD ABOUT YOUR HABIT TO COLLECT HERMÈS ;) it is really worth it

i never ever regretted to spend money there and you see it was wise to do so . now my divorce is over the settlement solved and the first i did is ordering bags to built my collection up again

but this time even more fabulous than it was before that is what i swear :shame: :lol:

so to all you wonderfull ladies here enjoy your bags and stay the way you are :flowers:

Thank you, Lilach. I've tried to explain this to other women, and it doesn't get through to them. Hermes is the only handbag that will retain it's retail price over time. So yes, I consider it an investment as well.

Wow - lilach, it sounds like you have been through a lot and I admire your fortitude. Your bags helped you out when you needed them and now you're building an even better collection! WTG!!

I'm sorry you had to sell your collection, but I'm glad you had it to fall back on. I'm happy to hear you're building another collection! Good for you! Thanks for the insight.

I totally feel for you Lilach and know what you must have been through since I went through a similar ordeal...and all the time I thought "if the worst comes to the worst, I'll sell my H collection.." Luckily I've managed not to so far, but one never knows in life, and I'm glad I've got these bags and I don't feel too guilty when I buy a new one for this exact reason; I feel much more guilty buying a 1000$ LV than a 5000$ Hermès...that's why I only buy H now...:flowers:

lilach...so glad you are on the Forum since I've gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from you!! You deserve the best collection there is and please take pics of your bags, etc...love to see. I need to do the same thing too.
Duna...I feel the same as you do about LV! I do love vintage LV...I feel that's worth it.
