      Finally Tania. Yes, this is the right decision. I have stopped buying Hermes bags a long time ago when the game and disrespect started. And yes, let’s now strive to buy quality items from companies that value and cherish their customers, and treat them with respect. 👍

      I've only bought one bag from Kwanpen but it's stunning quality & the customer service was outstanding. So, at this point I recommend :-)

      In fact, when you buy a high-end imitation and walk on the street, no one will care whether you have a fake or not, so why not?. *gtdupe*

    Thank you for your honesty. Maybe the lesson here is that being able to get whatever you want doesn’t really bring fulfillment. There will always be something nicer and better out there that everyone doesn’t have yet that we desire. It can be hard to find contentment. I for one would be overjoyed to have one quota bag in my life. Not for the status symbol or to be like everyone else but because that means I worked very hard for something of great quality that will last a lifetime and can be handed down to my daughters. I do think it’s a severe shame that Hermes doesn’t allow us regular folk to save our money and just be able to go in and buy our dream bag and be done.

    You are right- i am collecting and being an HERMES fan for 30 years - but know I am very sad 😔 what is happening….to much models and stuff, leather colors ….and …and and . I sometimes think the brand is getting cheap ( not unique) and the people who wear Hermes ….also 😢😢

    Wow they should be sending you free gifts instead of making you travel after all these years. The integrity of the brand is so much more important than chasing trends. Keeping your best customers happy should always be top priority. Are you seeing a lot of companies do this? I sure am.

    • @tania.antonenkova
      @tania.antonenkova  2 місяці тому +1

      It’s not bad. But it’s not independent and they are making another Dior out of it already. It’s not lvmh but it’s either richemont or kerring. The craftsmanship is good but leathers could be better. I’ve seen what they did with it in Asia and I’m telling you - another Dior in the making

  • @lucym9237
    @lucym9237 2 місяці тому +4

    I resonate with this. It has become very overdone. The products are good but they are not the only good ones out there. The bags are exceptional but buying from a reseller is easy and pleasant.

  • @organizedinspiredwithrl7775
    @organizedinspiredwithrl7775 2 місяці тому +2

    I think it's partly cyclical. Every brand goes through periods where you don't want to buy anything from them. Plus I would also say you've probably gotten enough of what you've wanted from Hermès, so you're less motivated to play the game. Give it some time, and the direction of fashion will change again. They'll be back to producing things that don't look like fast fashion. I'm 100% for you sharing the other brands you're exploring because I'd like to find some high-quality, exclusive alternatives, too.

    @andreaa898 2 місяці тому +2

    I’m very similar, I love the classic design and quality of the bags, now that I have one B and one K, there is no comparison to any of my other bags (Chanel classic flap, lady Dior, etc).
    However, I will never trust the authenticity from a reseller. I’d love a vintage bag or two but again just don’t want to risk it.
    In Australia it’s very competitive. Similarly I’ve made connections with sales associates and other clients and some of us are very dedicated and spend 6 figures every year. I loved the journey, but then had quality issues with ready to wear, shoes eating my feet, a faulty watch strap on a time your way order, etc. Also heard someone spent $10k and got a B25 within a month of shopping at my local store. It was orange.. but still. The exclusivity I agree is contradictory and my eyes are open…
    Do I still love some products, absolutely, but it’s not the same.

    Ok. I suddenly started liking you after this. Frankly, before you were very obsessed with Hermes and it became your personality. It wasnt entertaining to watch.
    If you want bespoke high quality pieces, I will suggest Peter Nitz.
    Now, I'm also on the hunt for brands that make bags using Taurillon leather, Epsom, Barenia etc. Let us know if you find alternative brands that use these leathers!

    I respect your point of view. However, here is my 2 cent: buying 4 Hermes bags (and any brand) as you said you did last year (or this one?) is one thing. The extreme lengths you went to achieve that is something else. No wonder after a short period of time you are simply exhausted and find it off putting. On another note, the “elan” style is part of their Hermes archives. I do not believe they copied Celine. With regard to the classics, one can never tell what will end up being a classic. It is only healthy to explore and experiment. Looking forward to discoursing (perhaps) new brands you will be exploring.

    I remember you saying you have ordered a home deocr or furniture that you canceled and said that you were gonna share. What happened. Could the store have known about your subscription on how to score a bag and them feeling indifferent and cold with you so you naturally dont feel the love to buy anymore as it doesn’t feel as warm and welcoming for you. Coz i know Hermes doesn’t like anything social media sharing, apart from unboxing in stores which a lot doesn’t allow anymore too. And here you are asking money to score. Could that be a big factor of you not being embraced by the brand anymore but not necessarily banned if you know what i mean

      Chanels with the Chanel logo are no longer popular because there are so many well made fakes out there which will only make people stupid to buy the genuine product in 2024 because many will think it is a fake by then. The whole logo is gone and the *hotdups* bag caters to the market more.
