Hi my loves! So excited about this video, it’s VERY interesting so grab a drink, sit back and enjoy! Don’t forget to ENTER MY HERMES GIVEAWAY 🎉 here (ends Sunday 28/6/20): ua-cam.com/video/SfOice2ipH8/v-deo.html P.S If you need help deciding what insert colors just comment here and I’m more than happy to help, so many gorgeous colors to choose from!
Hey Mel I am more interested in the Picotin and the Victoria (I personally don’t like the Kelly or Birkin) is there a list or a procedure for those bags too? Or can I just walk in? I have a long family purchase history at Hermes but not an individual one...thanks!
Wait, did I just hear that Marianne has only used Hermes bags ever since she got her very first Hermes bag? So she wears an Hermes bag every single day? Wow! 🤩 🤩 🤩 She is a true expert.
That is correct my dear. Hence why her IG account is called @orangedaily very fitting! She is a wealth of knowledge, it was soooo fun chatting to her (we spoke for hours), the video was actually pretty challenging to edit lol
Best Hermes video I’ve watched ever. Her passion for the brand made me appreciate the beauty and quality to a level that has neutralised any prejudice I have of the game.
This lady is a wealth of information. I am so glad that she debunked that myth about epsom leather. My SA also told me that epsom scratches can absolutely be repaired. She advised that should I have questions in the future to ask the leather specialists at my local boutique instead of watching videos by people who are not experts (as I clearly am not!), are likely not even serious collectors and probably have only a few years of experience buying the brand. She really schooled me!!!
That 30 year bag is in better condition that some 30 year old people. Damn she takes care of her bags. But as expensive as they are u should properly care for them.
I love Marianne’s classic style, her outfit and her bags, her hair, and the way she speaks and move. Very clean, so chic and so elegant. It doesn’t scream brands, but it’s just so classic chic.
I really enjoyed this video. I know for a fact that I could never ever own an Hermes bag but I love learning things about the brand and their bags. This is so informative and fascinating. And I super adore Marianne, such an elegant and lovely lady. Thanks for sharing this, Mel. You're smart, elegant and timeless.
This was fantastic! 45 minutes went nowhere. Marianne is a gold mine of information and so elegant. I agree with her about the box leather. I have heard it is fussy to care for but so is lambskin and people buy that in huge numbers. I have looked at so many photos of vintage Kellys online and the modern leathers are pretty and practical but I keep going back to the box leather. It’s the original Kelly leather and has so much history attached to it and it’s so luxurious looking.
Oh Mel what an amazing video. Two wonderful women together sharing their passion of Hermes with the world. I could watch this over and over again. What an amazing experience for you to have. Something you will remember for ever. Enjoy your gorgeous Hermes and I can't wait to see what you buy next. Stay safe. Much love, Jenni XX
I just love this video. So much great information, I have many Kelly’s and Birkin bags and I love them each for different reasons. They each are pieces of artwork. Thanks very much for sharing your incredible knowledge and collection 😎❤️😎
Can’t wait to watch! I went to an Hermes artisan exhibit in Sydney many years ago and they walked you through how they produce every item. It really made me love the dedication to the product. I am not someone that would buy the bags, well at this point in my life, but the silks, methods and techniques were so impressive!
I have been offline for a little bit, so I still have a lot of videos of you that I can watch. Nothing better than this! This video is insane, she is so elegant and she has so much knowledge, its crazy! Thank you so much for this Mel. 💕
Love that a chic French woman isn’t getting stuck in it has to be a Hermes Twilly on a Hermes bag, Gucci Twilly on a Gucci bag. It doesn’t matter if the colourway and style works with the bag. It just has to look good.
What a compliment! Thank you so much Erika! I’m so happy you loved it so much! It was a big challenge to edit this but at the same time I really want to be able to share this information with you guys in a casual and fun manner xx
My pleasure lovely! So glad you found it so interesting! It was such a good chat but it got super challenging for me to edit as we talked way too much lol XX
Mel I have loved this video so much I have watched it twice and still feel disappointed that it has ended!🤣 It was the most wonderful and absolutely fascinating video I have ever seen. I love the passion you both share for Hermes and I couldn't stop smiling the entire duration. It was fabulous. I had a glass of wine and felt like I was participating in a conversation with friends! Loved all the information shared and my love for Hermes has only been deepened by this video. Thank you so much for sharing. It was wonderful. ❤️
Wow that black croc Kelly is a new dream of mine. Last year I came across a vintage box Kelly with my initials I should have grabbed it but I had never seen one before so I was nervous that it was fake. I just received my first Kelly and am waiting for my 7rp insert, so exciting. Thank you for sharing you passions for the brand. I am often torn bc the bags are so much money and it’s only a bag but I’m proud to wear it bc of it’s heritage.
I’m so glad I watched this. Now I know what HAC came first before Birkin! On a side note, it really depends on which boutique you walked into and whom you happen to be talking to. My mom, sis, and I walked into a flagship. We happen to talk to the manager of the store. Next thing you know, she brought out a croc Constance in black as well as an ostrich Constance in pink. Plus kelly backpack among other bags! Needless to say my sister and mom was in bag heaven and ended up buying three or four bags that day.
I love how Marianne appreciates the craft and art and history of these pieces. How nice to see such an approach, unlike all those influencers who just want to get more and more of those status symbols, and don't even know what they're buying...
Oh my goodness, I actually put off watching this video until I could find a time to relax and fully enjoy it knowing how long it was. But wow, this did not feel like 42 mins at all! It felt like we were all with you having a girls chat :) She's so lovely to listen to and so interesting to hear her stories and experiences and just how much joy she finds in Hermes. Something about the French accented English, I love! I find it so endearing. Thanks so much for sharing your interview with her!
I desagree with Marianne’s answer on how to get a Birkin or Kelly. I bought my Birkin in Deauville (France), one year ago, and I hadn’t purchase anything from Hermès before. I just walked into the store actually looking for a Bastia coin purse, had a lovely chat with the sales associate, told her I had always wanted a Birkin. She told me « oh, then I have something to show you ». I waited like 5 minutes and she came back with a big orange box, she told me it had just arrived. And that’s how I got my first Hermès bag !
Yes the minute she answered that question i noticed even Mel has a bigger knowledge than her, so I also disagree Mel raise her as Hermes expert.. Mel seems much more up to date with knowledge.
That’s absolutely NOT the way it works for the most part though hun. There’s no chance here in the US. I’ve heard in the smaller European countries people have had incredible luck with being offered highly sought after bags, but it will not happen in most parts of the world sadly.
Mary Poppins yes i ve heard it s a very Long waiting list (very strict) for example in Germany as a large country ... then Czech Republic as a smaller country with a low ratio of wealthy tourists compared to Germany or Switzerland as a neighbouring country Mel herself proved you can walk in with zero history and be offered .. but it s really not how it typically works... I ve heard it sometime works for people covered in van clef and Cartier jewellery 😂😂
Marian has discovered hot water... all designers keep a catalog of designs and all they do is recycle them over and over in different fabrics, materials and colors. This is what they do.
Wow, this was such an amazing video. Marianne is absolutely lovely and Mel, you did a great job presenting us all with this very interesting and educational info. Thank you! 💕
Hi Mel. This is a great video. No wonder you kept it for your 4-year anniversary. I heard stories like the offer of 5 bags. As long as you got money, you can get anything from Hermès stores in China. There are many Chinese bloggers sharing this information online.
Thanks Mel for such a great video! I learned so much about the brand! Great interview w/ Marianne! Timeless, elegant and smart describes you and Marianne perfectly!
Thanks for sharing, Mel! Marianne is a wealth of knowledge! 🙌 I can’t believe she was offered 5 exotic Birkin 25s at once 😱 I also love her vintage bags with the gold initials! 💖
That video was amazing Mel. I was absolutely entranced. That Croc Kelly 🥰 and the box leather 🥰. Would love to see her entire collection. I bet they all look brand new! ❤️❤️
I feel like it’s also interesting to note the reason why the Birkin bag took inspiration so much from the HAC, was made because Jane Birkin’s then partner Serge Gainsbourg carried around an HAC, and Jane Birkin mentioned it to Mr. Dumas that they should do a similar bag like that but smaller. Technically it all comes around to Serge Gainsbourg for using the HAC so much.
Love this video, love all the Hermès information. I have to store mine in their boxes as I don’t have space to put them stood up. I also have 3 cats that like to ruffle through dustbags!!!
Just like me my first Hermes Piece was a scarf - my Dad bought them for my mum (back then available on board of airplanes), I loved them and got my first when I was 14! And up till today I also hand them items to repair
Could not believe that I sat through 42 minutes of watching 2 lovely ladies talking about Hermes and handbags but could have watched for another 42 minutes. Will have to stop by Hermes boutique here in Houston and check their men's collection. Great video.
I loved this video! Seeing the beautiful Hermes bags and listening to Marianne talk about her experiences was so interesting! You have a future in interviewing Mel! Great job 💕💕
Aww your are too kind my dear! It’s fun chatting to people who have the same passion as you and we chatted for literally hours! So glad you enjoyed it, I wasn’t sure if you guys might think this interview format was too long? Xx
Enjoyed this interview, thanks! I have the same Kelly ostrich, except mine is size 28 from 1997! The quality is amazing!! Wanted to confirm Marianne's answer for her Hermes travel bag of choice??
Oh my, I just loved this video! Your interaction with Marian and your shared love and enthusiasm just oozed out through the screen. I loved it. I have such a short attention span, but I stayed from beginning to end. You're both fabulous. I hope you invite Marian again. I'd love to learn more about the history and the making of the handbags. Well done and thank you. 😊
Woah i love this video. Thank you for your efforts. I love handbags. But i like your channel more than anyone else, because it’s not just only about unboxing handbags but i get to learn so much about the brand history etc... it shows your real commitment and love.
I really enjoyed this video! I’m not surprised she is as elegant and fabulous as her L’serts. I also promptly removed my bags from the boxes to store them. Thank you for a wonderful behind the scenes look. ☺️
out of all the four vloggers that i’ve watched that collects bag, you are the most fun to watch so far.. you have the most interesting content and educational too! thank you.. 😍
I can't get over what I just witnessed here. These bags are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I've never knew of such a thing. I'm totally in shock with the condition and beauty of them. The wealth of knowledge MaryAnn shared. I'm so grateful Mel and for bringing such an Amazing video to us. You NEVER fail. Interesting to see how you will out do this one doll. Good Luck!!!😘😘😘😘💕
This is my fav video on your channel! I love that her collection has pre-owned pieces, they look even better than the new ones we stress over in the stores, Every bag becomes pre owned the second we walk out of the store......
Such an informative video Mel. Thank you so much for doing this for us. I didn’t realised how time went by. Great video. By the way the restrictions are getting tighter again in vic so stay safe Mel.
I especially like that the shoulder strap of that ostrich bag doesn't show even when it is worn in the crook of the arm or carried by the short handle. I also love the vintage watches and that silver bracelet with the bag-charms. So lovely.
Several of the luxury brand stores act like they are doing you a favor by selling you a product. Dance for me if you want to buy something from me. That is degrading and demeaning.
OMG! Mel, this is the best video to interview the special person; she is an Authenticator! Marianne is so elegant and so do you! Love your outfit as well. Thank you for sharing this video, learned so much from it. From: Jeff (Singapore). :)
I researched heaps before getting mine and also tried some others too. Hands down 7rp for hermes Bags are the best lovely! What colors are you thinking for what bags? Cc
Mel in Melbourne omg I can’t believe you saw my comment. For colours I’m thinking about the blanc for my dark blue bag to get the contrast and brighten things up and the green one you showed to match my forest green one😀
A Kelly may never be in my future, but if I could I would. it is quintessentially elegant, while slightly austere, which I love. Marianne was a pleasure to listen to. Anyone with a passion for something is interesting in their authentic energy for it.
This was so fun to watch. I saw this video a month or so ago, but keep forgetting to comment. Now that I am looking for my first Hermes bag I am reminded. I loved how the two of you interact and the stories!
A bright different colour insert is an absolute must that you should factor into the expense of buying a quality bag. And I love wrapping the handles - ageing of leather can be lovely but sticky sweat stained handles not so much lol.
Hi my loves! So excited about this video, it’s VERY interesting so grab a drink, sit back and enjoy! Don’t forget to ENTER MY HERMES GIVEAWAY 🎉 here (ends Sunday 28/6/20): ua-cam.com/video/SfOice2ipH8/v-deo.html
P.S If you need help deciding what insert colors just comment here and I’m more than happy to help, so many gorgeous colors to choose from!
This is such a special video!
Yes, such an extra special video. Thanks, Mel.
Such an informative video. Thanks Mel, great job 👍🏻😊
saw a gorgeous green ostrich skin K in store the other days
Hey Mel I am more interested in the Picotin and the Victoria (I personally don’t like the Kelly or Birkin) is there a list or a procedure for those bags too? Or can I just walk in? I have a long family purchase history at Hermes but not an individual one...thanks!
Marianne is truly elegant without been tacky or extra, the real French type girl
So elegant, classy and chic! Thanks for watching! ❤️

Mel in Melbourne Wow. This was a real treat. Thank you for all the care and effort you put into your videos! 😘
I mean, if I ever acquired a Hermes I would wear it every day too, otherwise how else would you make it worth your while? 💖💖
B
@@MelinMelbourne I would totally watch the unedited version :) #hermesdreamer
Best Hermes video I’ve watched ever. Her passion for the brand made me appreciate the beauty and quality to a level that has neutralised any prejudice I have of the game.
Omg, that crocodile kelly was so beautiful and the gold initials made it even more special 😍
Wasn’t it stunning? I would love a vintage croc Kelly! 🖤🖤🖤
I also thought that the two initials looked more pleasing than the one with three initials on the bag, which is unusual.
How mutch cost a Croc 35 Bag? 😍
This lady is a wealth of information. I am so glad that she debunked that myth about epsom leather. My SA also told me that epsom scratches can absolutely be repaired.

Marianne truly is an Hermes expert and it was such a pleasure interviewing her. I learnt so much and I’m glad you found the video informative too :) x
What a pleasant soft spoken lady
She sure is! So chic and classy! ❤️
Agreed! Both ladies!
so elegant & sweet
wow so that Kelly bag is from 1989???? wow looks like it was just bought yesterday
I know right? All her bags are in amazing condition!! 😍
For some reason, i felt “honoured” knowing that the ostrich birkin and i are the same age 😂
Same here 🤣🤣
Marianne is so charming. I loved seeing her bags and listening to her.
That 30 year bag is in better condition that some 30 year old people. Damn she takes care of her bags. But as expensive as they are u should properly care for them.
Lol she sure does! All her bags are in immaculate condition! ❤️
Ohhhhh that's a good point! 😂 That 30 year croc skin looks snatcher than my 27 HUMAN SKIN 🤦🏼♂️
The Brazilian Guy I’m dying laughing, the bag is older than me and looks better 😩🤣
I will add your channel to my blog roll Mel in Melbourne
Very gorgeous and durable indeed... bt im against animal cruelty.. bt wud love any other ones without using animal skin.
I love Marianne’s classic style, her outfit and her bags, her hair, and the way she speaks and move. Very clean, so chic and so elegant. It doesn’t scream brands, but it’s just so classic chic.
“Everybody has to dance, not only the newcomers” I love that statement! I feel better now. We keep dancing until we score! Yay! Fantastic video Mel!
It made it sound special rather than exclusive
I really enjoyed this video. I know for a fact that I could never ever own an Hermes bag but I love learning things about the brand and their bags. This is so informative and fascinating.

One of my dreams is to gift my mom a Hermés Birkin........
Love that a chic French woman isn’t getting stuck in it has to be a Hermes Twilly on a Hermes bag, Gucci Twilly on a Gucci bag. It doesn’t matter if the colourway and style works with the bag. It just has to look good.

Such a lovely lady with soft voice. I can see why she only choose Hermes bags.
So lovely, classy and chic! Xx
The description that she said as what a Hermes woman is, She's all that. Very clever. I looooooooooooooooooooooooove the whole interview.
I agree! She is one smart, classy lady! So glad you enjoyed the interview :)

Wow, Tsetsi, great seeing you here! So many beautiful women in one place.
I’ve never wanted anything Hermes until now. Great interview!
Thank you so much lovely x
WOW! 5 Birkins offered at one go is amazing!
I know right? My jaw dropped! 😍
I was offered 2 once - both birkin 35 ; rouge great and a white one. Could only afford one though..... just about.
@@MelinMelbourne Would that just be because she's such a loyal customer?
@@user-ef5id9km3p because she's such a French icon/ambassador too.
Wow, this was such an amazing video. Marianne is absolutely lovely and Mel, you did a great job presenting us all with this very interesting and educational info. Thank you! 💕
how could you not ask how many bags she has did she show you her collection I bet its amazing
She actually didn’t show me all her entire collection. I’m sure it’s amazing! Maybe next time I can ask if she can show us all her bags :)
Oh yes, I think we would all love to see her whole bag collection. 🧡💜🖤
i wanted to know
she also didn't show any B bags
She would have an EPIC collection I'm sure!
I was thinking that Marianne didn't encourage the showing of all her Hermes for security sake.
Hi Mel. This is a great video. No wonder you kept it for your 4-year anniversary. I heard stories like the offer of 5 bags. As long as you got money, you can get anything from Hermès stores in China. There are many Chinese bloggers sharing this information online.
Her voice. I can listen to her all day.
You are such a spectacularly talented interviewer and presenter Mel! Great video--so informative :)
Marianne is so delightful. Elegant, knowledgeable and funny. Loved witnessing your shared passion for the brand.
This is the most educational and heartfelt Hermes video I have ever watched. I subscribed.
i love her secret! I WANT TO KNOW IF SHE DID BUY ALL 5 OR ONE OF THEM AT ALL!?
Thanks Mel for such a great video! I learned so much about the brand! Great interview w/ Marianne! Timeless, elegant and smart describes you and Marianne perfectly!
Aww thank you Rachelle! I’m so glad you found it so informative and learnt so much! XX
Wow. I didnt notice that this video is 40 mins long. No skips no forward. I genuinely love the conversation.
What an amazing interview! I’ve learned so much and I feel like I’ve got more closer to Hermés. Thank you Mel xxx
My pleasure lovely, happy to hear you loved it so much xx
Thanks for sharing, Mel! Marianne is a wealth of knowledge! 🙌 I can’t believe she was offered 5 exotic Birkin 25s at once 😱 I also love her vintage bags with the gold initials! 💖
but did she buy them?
Me invested in these videos even though I’ll never be able to afford one. 😔 So interesting though. Great interview
Hermes is very classy and elegant. I don't have money for luxury items, but I still love watching those type of videos!❤️
Your channel just keeps getting better and better!! Love, Claudia ~ a grateful and loyal subscriber 💋😀💕♥️
What a fascinating interview, beautiful French woman and her bags are gorgeous. I love the ostrich kelly, just spectacular.
Running to my closet to change how I store my Birkin bag 🏃🏻♀️👜. Thanks for all of the tips! You're the best!
Love your videos so much Mel! Absolutely beautiful interaction and interview with Marianne! I learned so much! ❤️
That video was amazing Mel. I was absolutely entranced. That Croc Kelly 🥰 and the box leather 🥰. Would love to see her entire collection. I bet they all look brand new! ❤️❤️

Im so in love with Hermes that I already knew the whole history.
Just like me my first Hermes Piece was a scarf - my Dad bought them for my mum (back then available on board of airplanes), I loved them and got my first when I was 14!
And up till today I also hand them items to repair
Wow, she's an absolute expert! So impressive and her bags are in immaculate condition! Thank you for sharing this interview :)
Could not believe that I sat through 42 minutes of watching 2 lovely ladies talking about Hermes and handbags but could have watched for another 42 minutes. Will have to stop by Hermes boutique here in Houston and check their men's collection.
Great video.
I loved this video! Seeing the beautiful Hermes bags and listening to Marianne talk about her experiences was so interesting! You have a future in interviewing Mel! Great job 💕💕

Not at all! I loved listening to you both and Marianne is such a wealth of knowledge and so charming 💕
Enjoyed this interview, thanks! I have the same Kelly ostrich, except mine is size 28 from 1997! The quality is amazing!! Wanted to confirm Marianne's answer for her Hermes travel bag of choice??
so after watching this video i went and got a denim jacket marianne inspired me to do so
i have been rocking it since 2 years thanks lady :-)

Such an informative video Mel. Thank you so much for doing this for us. I didn’t realised how time went by. Great video. By the way the restrictions are getting tighter again in vic so stay safe Mel.
I just used your code, two years later, and it worked! I ordered two organizers. I’m excited to get them. Thanks!
I love this Q&A video....it’s very informative! Thanks for sharing, Mel😊
Omg, mel i love videos like this And love the conversation, i got educated to day. Thank you very much ❤️🥰☺️🤩
I especially like that the shoulder strap of that ostrich bag doesn't show even when it is worn in the crook of the arm or carried by the short handle. I also love the vintage watches and that silver bracelet with the bag-charms. So lovely.
To have a bag for 30 years and look like it’s new is beyond amazing. I respect that
A brilliant video. Thank you Mel and Marianne
The energy and the vibes in this room are just beautiful. Amazing video thank you for sharing.😊💗
Several of the luxury brand stores act like they are doing you a favor by selling you a product. Dance for me if you want to buy something from me. That is degrading and demeaning.
Loved meeting the founder!!
I think the word is “off-putting”. 😌 For those who appreciates quality and artisan-ship but really is not into the “status” per se.
Really enjoyed this! Very informative, Marianne and you together are fun to watch!
Hi Mel, This Is the best video for all Hermes lovers 😍❤❤❤ so lovely.. very interesting
OMG! Mel, this is the best video to interview the special person; she is an Authenticator! Marianne is so elegant and so do you! Love your outfit as well. Thank you for sharing this video, learned so much from it. From: Jeff (Singapore). :)
Thank you so much Mel for this video!! It was so amazing!! Makes me love Hermes a whole lot more!!!
One of your best videos to date! Loved the amount of info we got
Great interview with Marianne we learned a lot. Great collection of bags and watch
The house was so beautiful 😍 I loved the colours of the inserts and will def be getting some for my bags 😀
I researched heaps before getting mine and also tried some others too. Hands down 7rp for hermes Bags are the best lovely! What colors are you thinking for what bags? Cc
Mel in Melbourne omg I can’t believe you saw my comment. For colours I’m thinking about the blanc for my dark blue bag to get the contrast and brighten things up and the green one you showed to match my forest green one😀
More interviews with super stylish women please Mel! Marianne rocks her silver hair and denim jacket!
Thank you Mel for this special video. It educates someone new like me about Hermes.
A Kelly may never be in my future, but if I could I would. it is quintessentially elegant, while slightly austere, which I love. Marianne was a pleasure to listen to. Anyone with a passion for something is interesting in their authentic energy for it.
This was so fun to watch. I saw this video a month or so ago, but keep forgetting to comment. Now that I am looking for my first Hermes bag I am reminded. I loved how the two of you interact and the stories!
I've never been so much in love with exotic leathers until this day. That Croc Kelly is amaaaaaaaaaaazing (L).
A bright different colour insert is an absolute must that you should factor into the expense of buying a quality bag. And I love wrapping the handles - ageing of leather can be lovely but sticky sweat stained handles not so much lol.
I totally agree Alexandra xx
My mother had a beautiful crocodile purse. As a child I absolutely loved it.
5 birkens in one go! GOSH. I would have loved to know how many she bought.
