Hi my lovelies!! After 10 plus years since I started my fashion blog and working for myself, I decided to acknowledge this milestone with an Hermes bag. Comment below with if you can figure out why they even let me get one. I've heard so many horror stories of the months long world wide waiting lists and constant rejections. How come Hermes gave it to me then??
🤔 Not one to be at a loss for words for 'my' Karen😁 & your superb content, but alas I am. Just want to congratulate 'you' on all your immense hard work & getting 'da coin' that you deserve through doing so. I just am not that kinda high brow gal I guess. Oh and that one bag could legit secure me A LOT of horses... w/h *FOUR legs* 🐎 hehe.
Not true everywhere. In France you can be lucky and walk into a shop and get a birkin or kelly. A friend of mine was in Cannes I september no purchase history and she came out with a bag ! So happy for you.....you look so happy I love this video
I’m sure it was your lovely personality that ingratiated you to her. SA’s love customers who are endearing as well as chic. That’s why you scored says this former NYC luxury s.a..
I think we give Hermes too much ... I don’t know what to call it. It is a beautiful bag, but if you have the money to purchase it, you shouldn’t have to feel like Hermes did you a favor. You did them a favor. You spent your money. Hermes need to be made to understand that.
I totally agree with you. I understand the value of a good iconic design but i really don't get the attitude. They should not be acting as if they are selling limited edition cancer cure vials. It is just a thing in the end of the day. A beautiful thing but still a thing.
They did her a favor. lol. Because in five years time Karen will sell the bag double what she paid for it. lol. Plus she did not have to pay the astronomical price of second hand market. I know what you mean.
I love stories like this! Not that I ever wanted an Hermes bag, but just seeing hard working people, getting the things they have dreamed of for so long. ❤️
But the amount of “content creators” easily getting their hands on these “elusive” bags is kind of killing the allure. I am not talking about Karen (I love her!) but so many others who have recently done unboxings has made me (and others) start feeling a bit less enthused about the brand.
@@sfjayhawk5810 - very true! But you know a lot of these content creators are also buying super fakes that costs around $2,000-$4,000 per bag and passing it off as authentic birkins/kellys
Walked into a Hermes Store in Copenhagen with a dear friend to admire the scarves. Explained we didn't want to buy ( can't afford yet!) but wanted to look at their beauty and design. The SA was so lovely and told us so much about the artists behind the scarves etc. We were joined by another SA and spent many minutes chatting. As we left without buying anything we were both handed a goody bag! We were honest and real- I guess you got your bag because you were honest and real too. It's a special memory.
You got the bag because you are a confident, attractive, well spoken and lovely woman who knew what she wanted and the SA fell in love with you. Really enjoyed this video.
SO happy for you, Karen!! I hate that you feel like you have to justify this bag, you work hard, have God given talent, and deserve it!! YAY, it's gorgeous just like you! ❤️ Lisa
The way your husband came in to celebrate in your purchase with you AND reinforce that you deserved it...*standing slow clap* That’s what it’s all about, working hard for the things you want, then enjoying the fruits of your labor with the ones you love.
We love it when Michael makes an appearance, you act like his girl everytime he enters a vlog....😘😘😘😘🍍🎶🎼🥁⚽️love you both......opps ...please open the scarf..
I feel like the Hermes bag scarcity is a but of a gimmick to fabricate demand...I don't know...and if so it clearly works because it makes people think they have something rare
If I had that type of money I would get one custom made to my liking...but not referring to Hermès...more so for any handbag designer. At least it would be more to my taste, unique, and I had more involvement in selecting the items for it. Hermès is too hyped up just like any other luxury brand in my opinion.
It takes a whole day to make one Kelly and two days to make a birkin. They are handcrafted in France and are incredible quality. They can’t just mass produce them to sell to anyone that wants one
This video is bringing me to tears, not because of the bag (which is a beauty), but because of the true message behind it.....”be yourself” and “manifestations.” Thank you for this reminder to stay focus and stay true to myself. 🌻
I really appreciate how you shared this experience as an appreciation as (1) this aesthetically beautiful piece and (2) the accomplishment of your personal goal, rather than focusing on the prestige side. I can’t afford an Hermès, but I love the look of their bags and I enjoy your work, so this vlog was the perfect synthesis without excluding your viewers. Congratulations on being at this joyful point in your life and thank you for showing us how our good days can lift each other up!
I agree. Karen is the real vlogger. No airs, no pretentions and that's what I admire about this Influencer. Went inside with one goal and (not to buy several items before being handed the actual bag) came out accomplishing that goal! I think everyone who goes to Hermes should do the same IF they really want only the bag.
Congratulations!!! Regarding dressing well to designer stores or appointments, I used to work at Harrods in Knightsbridge and they teach sales assistants to never judge anyone. Can’t say all the S.A’s act that way but, a lot of very rich people don’t even dress up when they go shopping. They walk around in sweats. So never feel embarrassed at these designer stores, they don’t know your bank account! Have fun and enjoy browsing if you can’t afford just yet ❤️❤️
Natasha I was treated like royalty in an LV boutique a few years ago. I was awed at the SA’s knowledge of the brand heritage. That experience has ruined me for all other boutique experiences though!
I agree to not need to dress up. I deliberately DIDN'T wear visible logos and just had on what you saw in the video: thrifted mens coat with black underneath with Zara boots that the Hermes SA really loved LOL! It's about YOU as a person I reckon? Regardless of what you wear.
@@KarenBritChick yes most likely! Confidence is key 😄 It would be interesting to hear from someone who is or has been a Hermes SA as the whole process of getting one sounds crazy!
Agreed. Some the friendliest service I ever received was when I went to the Jimmy Choo store. Super nice lady, very knowledgeable and frankly couldn't do enough for me. when I was there. Made the whole experience a pleasure. I liked her so much I went back and brought some more shoes a few weeks later.
Interesting because whenever I go into designer stores I always get glared at tho I have the money to buy things in there despite not being rich. The snobbery disgusts me.Fashion and style should be for everyone
Karen I'm just so ecstatic, I started watching your channel in 2014 and I cant even mentally comprehend how much of a reward it is to finally have a Hermes bag in your collection. You are truly passionate about fashion and you deserve all the little pleasures life is affording you now. Keep them coming
Beautiful bag! I love the contrast stitching. It makes me sad that Hermes insists that you purchase additional items. Just so you know, that’s illegal in the US. It’s called bundling. When a company knows you want product “A” and they say, we’ll you can buy A, but you also have to buy product “B”. If you were forced to buy B to get A, that’s illegal. However, BOTH are beautiful!
Karen, I believe you are more famous and well known than you realize. I think you got the bag, because they know you are so loved on social media. You have cornered a niche in fashion and there are many people who know your work. Your channel is absolutely one of the best this genre has to offer. I get this wonderful feeling of escape into the world of fashion , unlike any of the others. I literally hate it when your videos end and come the next Friday, I’m waiting to have a nice sit-down with the girl I love and to pour-over every detail you bring to your channel. Honestly, I think they know who you are and have the utmost respect for your work. You had to make an appointment and I bet “dollars to donuts” they Googled your name. You had that bag way before you got to their store. I’d bet money on my theory. Bravo, my dear...I’m so very happy for you and I look forward to seeing you using this gorgeous bag in upcoming videos. You Rock! Lol P.S. How it happened does not remove manifestation from the equation. There are (were) steps to all destinies, so I do believe in Manifestation of our dreams and desires and I do believe it’s a big part of your life story, to include getting your beautiful bag. 😊
why do they need approval to sell the bag? Is it for the purpose of maintaining an air of exclusivity? I just find it strange that they'd say no to a customer who has the money to pay for their products.
I also feel like its like you said from the side of exclusivity and its not being a mainstream bag/ brand to buy from think about it...... if that bag was so easily accessible how many people you would see with it on instagram, i think they want their brand to remain classic and timeless and not become a trend brand, along with their pieces. i hope that makes sense
@@MrsVeronicat its so hard to justify why they do it because i guess they dont really give a strict reason to why they do it the way they do. But i know for a fact that im dreading the day where i am in the position to buy my first designer bag, i know that not all brands are the same however i remember being in paris mall and me and my boyfriend were looking at a bag and pair of shoes and it was almost like they were laughing at us, i feel like unless you look like you have all this money or some kind of celebrity your kinda regarded and your looked down on. I dont know i just dont want a shitty customer experience to make the memories of buying a bag of such money be tainted becuase of this reason... im typing fast so excuse the spelling mistakes and rambling!!!
i swear thisis the 1st vdo i see where the hermes and the person look so perfect for each other.. it is as if this bag was created with you and no one else in mind in every detail of the piece. on the other hand, sorry having to make this comment - u just dont know the pressure the SAs are under. without a doubt she HAD TO be able to justify selling u this bag in front of her superior!!! she was in your corner the entire time and she was looking for a way to have you being granted the purchase of a hermes bag. im thrilled for you! LOVE
It's a beautiful bag, but the whole marketing angle of making people jump through hoops and prove themselves worthy in order to buy it - in a massive recession, no less - is laughable. Not to mention degrading. There's a whole very creepy psychological manipulation in play - frankly, I'm surprised you wanted to be party to it.
I feel like the whole jumping through hoops and being scared of looking too needy and pushy and also being scared of asking for what you want because you don’t feel worthy, is very reminiscent of the dynamics of an abusive relationship
Anytime someone is able to create/manifest their dreams or goals it's a win. What this video is about is just that, a person who aligns with what they desire and it comes to be. I'm happy for you Karen and hope this inspires others to go for what you want. SOD OFF to anyone who has a judgement about it.
I love your personality. So down to earth. No pretensions at all. You're so genuine. We need more people like you. Congrats on your Kelly. It's as gorgeous as you.
i'm seeing a lot of bloggers getting their first hermes bags now with no history or anything. i think the pandemic slowed hermes sales so they're getting it back out into the public via influencers... Congrats to you! i'll covet from nj lol
I highly suspect that a lot of the influencers you’re seeing purchasing these, are buying very good and expensive dupes. I trust Karen and don’t think she’d lie to us, but some other influencers i do look at sideways. I used to work in big magazines and a lot of editors who were still lower on the editor tier (so they weren’t getting all the amazing free pr stuff) but still wanted to flex like they would get insane dupes. The dupes aren’t cheap either, some can go for $2k-$3k which is expensive but compared to an actual Kelly bag is pocket change, and i think they’re passing it off as real
@@goldenxdiva6562 see I personally think the pandemic has also hit them hard. They need to meet sales targets so granting wishes, especially if you’re an influencer, is the easiest way to do that without damaging their reputation by doing things like pr packages or sales or uploading their bags online. No one could ever walk into the store and get a black or gold birkin off the bat it was months at the very least unless you were rich as fuck before the pandemic
How quota bags are produced and distributed among the boutiques would make it next to impossible that Hermès ends up with a number of Kellys or Birkins lying around unwanted, even with the pandemic (each season’s POs have been placed in the previous Feb and July, which means Karen’s bag has been ordered by the boutique and approved by Paris way after the pandemic hit.. not sure if that makes sense but the whole PO process is very calculated and straightforward for the specific reason of always keeping the supply much lower than the demand to maintain exclusivity - in short: no boutique can get more quota bags than it could sell). The story of walking into a boutique for the first time and leaving with a K or B isn’t new at all, it’s actually factored into each boutique’s quota for when the store manager decides to “fulfill the wish” of a lucky walk-in client who genuinely seems passionate about the Maison; it’s happened to at least 7 people I know - long before the influencer world was even a thing. What’s different now is that a lot of those passionate walk-ins are people who have a platform where they can tell the story, therefore the odds are much higher for an influencer to get offered a B or K and tell the story on YT, which in turn has lately snowballed and generated more interest in Hermès among influencers who haven’t even considered it or thought it attainable before.
I am old an old movie buff and Grace Kelly is the epitome of style and grace along with Audrey Hepburn I have always wanted a Hermes Kelly and one day I will have one. Congratulations!
One of my fav videos about sharing the experience of buying a Hermes bag. For the 1st time someone that seems more normal, natural, herself that does not like/believe in whats called ‘the Hermes game’ with no purchase history but at the same time can afford the bag. Pretty much all videos here around the same topic are from girls that already own Hermes bags, with extensive purchase history, connections or with a lot of money u can tell by watching other videos or Ig post about their lavish life ( there is nothing wrong with that) but this videos just gives Hope to those that want a Hermes bag, has the money and thats it. 💙 the bag is beautiful
A dear friend of mine, a WOC, very successful - went into the Hermes store in London. She wanted to purchase a scarf for herself as a reward for getting a large promotion. She was told, and I quote, "I cannot sell you anything as you cannot afford anything we sell". No kidding, that's what she was told. She turned on her heel and left the store, outraged. But she felt her choice was to either argue and try to "prove" herself or spend her money elsewhere. I am so happy for you Karen, but I have no time for that nonsense.
You should report the person to head office. They state that their SAs should be the complete opposite of what you described, so I'd report the bugger. Maybe they'll make amends...some hope!
That is absolutely despicable service! As someone who has had experience serving everyday customers to VIP clients on the other side of the counter in a luxury store, I'm appalled. That sales associate should have been reported immediately.
I believe because you went in with no "airs", being your "down to earth" self was probably a relief for the SA!! Lol...I'm glad you were able to manifest the bag of your dreams! Nothing stands in the way of the Universe! What you think about, you bring about! Congratulations! It's a beautiful color! The best color I've seen in a Hermes bag!! Love it!
I've always believed that when something is meant to be it will happen. Regardless of the protocols and waiting times, I think you truly deserve it after all your hard work bringing us thoughtful and fresh content. Thank you for being such a light to me and to so many other people in these strange and difficult times.
I'm not a Hermès handbag girl, but the Kelly oozes such class. I will always her beauty from afar. Thx for sharing your Hermes experience. I've heard many nightmare purchase stories dealing with Hermes essays throughout the years. Knowing how you feel Karen about the Kelly bag, I'm thrilled to hear you purchased your dream Kelly first shot. Truly a blessing in disguise. Wishing you much joy walking the catwalk together for many years to come. Bless xo
Excess stock, especially in big cities like NYC, due to lack of tourism + people spending less on lux goods. Great time to get one if you’ve been looking!
Who else thinks it’s strange that so many youtubers are now getting hermes bags with no history ? It seems like hermès are changing their marketing strategy
First of all the bag is perfect on you!! and second, you are so gracious about it getting it. I have watched so many of these unboxing videos and this has been my favorite!
It does happen. Right place, right time, right attitude. Congrats! I'm sure right now with everything going on, sales of really high end goods aren't what they were a year ago too, so things might be sitting in store in the back a little longer than before. Who knows. The cool thing is that you put it into the universe and you got it! So happy for you!
Either the other stories are really exaggerated when in fact they just didn’t have stock, or she’s a massive Karen Brit Chick fan! Either way congratulations!! 😁
I believe in my humble opinion that you got the bag "easily" due to the fact that nobody really have a lot of money to spare to buy this expensive bag because half of the people in America are unemployed and no one needs to shop luxuriously (I think?lol). Karen I love your UA-cam channel you always made my day.. most of all I love your STYLE!!!! I will keep and continue watching your channel.
Yep, a lot of us are broke....but many are NOT, and can afford it...but agree sure sales have leveled off....because we are are primarily at home...so what’s the point...in Karen’s case ...she celebrated a milestones!
@@RNM-bu4rj then why are they raising the prices? Their is a deficit somewhere. LV raised their prices almost $100 for a speedy and did it a couple of times recently which is unheard of.
congratulations!!!!!! you are the second person i know of that u got the bag the same day. My friend got it in Paris few years back. i wish i could have the same luck when i save enough for it. So happy for you!
Congrats on the bag! It's a beautiful choice and your wear it well. Such a lovely story and reminder about the power of manifestation. Thanks for continuing to share your light! 😍
This is my first time watching you. I somehow have gotten sucked into the Hermes vortex. I will never be at this level of luxury buying, but I have loved your video. You come across as so down to earth and genuine. I'm glad you were able to use this to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments. It is beautiful and timeless. I also love your joggers!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and the great suggestions. I hear you, as a salesperson, there are strategies and limits we may work within, but the salesperson usually is inclined to creatively meet needs and occasionally, fulfill dreams (This is one of the joyful aspects of being in sales). Of all the sales positions I have had, handbag sales was my favorite, it can be personal and moving (I am now an interior design student).The 32 is perfect, I gasped, superb choice! Please, forgive the impertinence, you and your style are lovely by the way. Happy visualizations, best.
I believe in manifestation. Long enough dreaming about the prefect camel coat, and finally found one! Now I better manifest a Kelly! ☺️ Congratulations, you deserved it! ❤️
It honestly believe it's because you are just so lovely, your warm personality shines. The assistant would have seen you are genuine, excited and going to take great care of the bag. Your a wonderful soul x
Imagine if you are the associate at Hermès & you have this power to decide. The next person after you might get totally declined & the next get a bag in 6 months etc..they probably just decide by their feelings that day or vibes they get
I think you got it simply because someone googled you. I think you also have good energy so maybe that played a part...you’re a likeable influencer. Anyhow, handheld bags are not my jam, but the tan is a versatile color and looks lovely with your complexion.
Hmmm...making it clear through innuendo to a prospective buyer that their chances of purchasing what they came into the store to purchase will be greatly enhanced -if the customer purchases something else first or in addition to - is coercion and is against the law in NY State. Hope someone in the AGs office is watching this. Disgusting and illegal business "practice and policy."
Not surprised at all! When you are kind and genuine, it shows and people will return in kindness! I also received my first Etoupe Kelly in Miami w No purchase history!
Wait until you start on the Hermes perfumes... its a downward spiral.. scarfs, bags, sandals... Hermes is another level.... watch the artisan videos how they make the bags... the heritage is extraordinary... Congratulations the bag is gorgeous!!
@@georgekenny6174Hermes and basic.. ok... no point speaking to me, go voice your opinion with those who hand stich the leather....hand paint the ceramics.. etc etc... bye
Congratulations on reaching this awesome milestone and acquiring something you’ve always wanted. It’s not happenstance! What is meant for us, we will get. Nobody (or supposed rules) can stop it when it’s time to receive our blessings! Again, congratulations!
I'm not even into purses and stuff, but this was suggested for me for what ever reason. I am SO happy for you. It was meant for you to have. Just the genuine excitement in your voice. Hope that you enjoy it!
Ah, the glorious Kelly. Yes, you have a wonderful charisma about you. Nothing is written in stone, not even specific Hermes protocol with regards to purchasing choice pieces. The power of manifestation and expert timing have served you well, in addition to your lovely and genuine demeanour. Do become a regular patron of Hermes. Well done, Karen!
Covid may have been hard on these luxury brands' sales. Your purse & scarf are stunning. Personally, I'm too frugal to buy these types of items & I have a strong aversion to snobby sales assistants.
Was thinking the same, and lets hope this snobbism is history. I can't deal with it either. We're all just humans, it's beyond ridiculous anyone should have to "beg" for buying a bag, or anything else for that matter. Elitism should be out by now.
Truly no one deserves this bag more than someone that literally squeals with glee over style finds. I’m sure we all would prefer you get this bag over another jaded billionaire. ❤️
i have two bags very beautiful in fine letter one tun colour the other black Spanish made its vintage an very closer to the Kelly bag wherever I go the women look and became very confused thinking if its or not an HERMMES CREATION. I just enjoy it. And it only cost me £400. I saw a woman on UA-cam she bought a Christian Dior candle for £75 and it didn't came with a lid so she bought a lid for £35 just for the brand . The candle would burn for maybe 10hrs. And finito. Then she bought books of CHANNEL, TOM FORD, AND LV. Just to place on her coffee table. To impress people . She has no class, it born with you. Its Oky she deserve it later they sell it as it upgrades at all time and there is a market for it. Good luck to Karen I am sure if she would have seen my bags she would have been crazy as well.
I agree with Michael I feel like you got it because it was just meant to happen, the power of manifestation! I can see it settling in perfectly into your wardrobe and setting off all your amazing ‘Karen’ outfits 😍
I don't believe in manifestation at all, as it wouldn't work with so many other things people might want to put out into the 'universe' and 'manifest'.But I do believe you were blessed to get that bag.I Love when people get things they have wanted and waited for. Enjoy it hun 💞
I stopped watching unboxings a while ago, so I surprised myself when I watched this one. That being said, I was actually moved by your reaction to getting your ‘Kelly bag. You wanted the bag for its beauty, elegance and the history of the fashion house, not as some thing to score or some sort of trophy hunt.. i’m sure it was your sincere appreciation for the bag that got you one so quickly, the sales associate would clearly have been able to see your respect for the brand. Well done you. It’s a beautiful bag and I hope you wear it for decades.
I’m happy for you... I have watched you for quite some time and your put so much time and effort in your work and you deserve this. I’m happy your were able to walk out with your bag.
@@coolbro0725 I read that article as well! They also made the suggestion that Hermes is selling to bloggers. It is interesting that you are now seeing bloggers have easy access to the bags. It is not a ray from heaven or the earth moving as some have suggested. It is that she has a following and has the funds and will create all the buzz that we are seeing. Hermes isn't stupid just elitist.
@@karenmyers3672 thought this too. And with the pandemic perhaps they have had a slower year and are thinking about making up for the year of less activity.
So awesome!! All good vibes and happiness and excitement for you!! You deserve this lovely bag and moment and enjoy this fun gorgeous experience. Happy happy happy for you and your lovely lovely husband. You guys are wonderful!
So I generally watch for the street fashion videos, I’ve heard of Hermes handbags but that’s it. Out of curiosity, I googled the price. 😳 And then on top of it, they make you think it’s an opportunity you have to earn? lol I can’t. This luxury world is so foreign yet fascinating to me. Congrats though! It’s a gorgeous work of art!
Congratulations😍 this is the bag of a lifetime!! Seeing a trend here.. of luxury UA-camrs opening Hermes Birkins/Kellys in the past month.. new from store with little or no purchase history at all. Some even without even knowing the SA. Seems weird right?🙃
I found a black leather Constance with gold hardware in a thrift store for $9.99 about 3 years ago. It is my most treasured bag, and definitely my favourite Hermes bag. It is a little banged up, the hardware is scratched a small amount, but I love vintage bags that show their love and wear. So happy for you that you found your new bag. Cheers
omgggg this is MAYJOOOOOORRR!! first of all, this bag is EVERYTHING. love the colour, love the size, love the contrast stitching. it's such a timeless and elegant, yet chill style. also, this is time i've discovered you, and your energy is A1 so i had to subscribe straightaway! this is such a great story and a perfect example of manifestation at work. can't wait for more vids in the future 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's great that this bag is now under the care of someone that will only enhance IT with an amazing style sense. IMHU the Hermes brand should be happy that someone like you, Karen will be wearing this Kelly !!!!! I consider them to be just as lucky as you !!!!!
You look so happy! I am happy for you! It is a lovely bag. The white stitching is exceptional. The size is perfect for you...and the scarf is equally perfection!
Congratulations on your 10 years on you tube and on getting that Kelly bag. It's beautiful. But really, it's not surprising to me that they let you have it. They know who you are. They asked you all the right questions. You are a huge influencer who truly has style. Some other you tubers use designer bags as an investment and merely a way to make money on the trading of them. Meanwhile, they compare and criticize the lines they bought on social media. You win the prize!
Hi my lovelies!! After 10 plus years since I started my fashion blog and working for myself, I decided to acknowledge this milestone with an Hermes bag. Comment below with if you can figure out why they even let me get one. I've heard so many horror stories of the months long world wide waiting lists and constant rejections. How come Hermes gave it to me then??
🤔 Not one to be at a loss for words for 'my' Karen😁 & your superb content,
but alas I am. Just want to congratulate 'you' on all your immense hard
work & getting 'da coin' that you deserve through doing so.
I just am not that kinda high brow gal I guess. Oh and that one bag could legit
secure me A LOT of horses... w/h *FOUR legs* 🐎 hehe.
I am so happy for you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Manifestation is real!!!
I'm so happy for you. I absolutely love the KELLY 😁💞👍🏼
Not true everywhere. In France you can be lucky and walk into a shop and get a birkin or kelly. A friend of mine was in Cannes I september no purchase history and she came out with a bag ! So happy for you.....you look so happy I love this video
I’m sure it was your lovely personality that ingratiated you to her. SA’s love customers who are endearing as well as chic. That’s why you scored says this former NYC luxury s.a..
I think we give Hermes too much ... I don’t know what to call it. It is a beautiful bag, but if you have the money to purchase it, you shouldn’t have to feel like Hermes did you a favor. You did them a favor. You spent your money. Hermes need to be made to understand that.
Yeah complete agree, they’re beautiful but to make you think they’re doing you a favour after you’ve spent $$$$$$$, gimme a break!
I so agree with you!! 💯
I totally agree with you. I understand the value of a good iconic design but i really don't get the attitude. They should not be acting as if they are selling limited edition cancer cure vials. It is just a thing in the end of the day. A beautiful thing but still a thing.
They did her a favor. lol. Because in five years time Karen will sell the bag double what she paid for it. lol. Plus she did not have to pay the astronomical price of second hand market. I know what you mean.
I agree! A birkin is on my list but bish I just paid you 11k you ain’t do me a favor lol
I love stories like this! Not that I ever wanted an Hermes bag, but just seeing hard working people, getting the things they have dreamed of for so long. ❤️
👍🏾
I'm glad that you got a bag that you love, but the idea of a brand making their products unnecessarily difficult to buy is just bullshit.
Not really! Birkins/Kellys are the most expensive bags in the world. If they over saturate the market their “exclusivity” status goes down.
@@luxaholicanonymous2577 Get Real. It is just marketing/hype.
@@joniheisenberg6691 - it’s literally basic economics though 🤦🏻♀️
But the amount of “content creators” easily getting their hands on these “elusive” bags is kind of killing the allure. I am not talking about Karen (I love her!) but so many others who have recently done unboxings has made me (and others) start feeling a bit less enthused about the brand.
@@sfjayhawk5810 - very true! But you know a lot of these content creators are also buying super fakes that costs around $2,000-$4,000 per bag and passing it off as authentic birkins/kellys
Walked into a Hermes Store in Copenhagen with a dear friend to admire the scarves. Explained we didn't want to buy ( can't afford yet!) but wanted to look at their beauty and design. The SA was so lovely and told us so much about the artists behind the scarves etc. We were joined by another SA and spent many minutes chatting. As we left without buying anything we were both handed a goody bag! We were honest and real- I guess you got your bag because you were honest and real too. It's a special memory.
Kay O'Brien : What was in the goodie bag may I ask? Sounds like you and your friend had a great time.
What was in the hoodie bag if you didn’t mind me asking
You got the bag because you are a confident, attractive, well spoken and lovely woman who knew what she wanted and the SA fell in love with you. Really enjoyed this video.
Here in Greece , when someone buys something new we wish him : 'with good health'. So, 'with good health' Karen, the new Kelly!!
Same in Romania!
They say something similar in the States! It’s “wear it in good health” :)
Same in Ireland 😊
This!!! And hey, fellow greek Karen fan 😊
My family is Italian. They say “wear it in good health” too.
SO happy for you, Karen!! I hate that you feel like you have to justify this bag, you work hard, have God given talent, and deserve it!! YAY, it's gorgeous just like you! ❤️ Lisa
yay! LISA
@@Dr.Wolfstar 🥰😘
Exactly!!!
Hi Lisa!
Absolutely agree 👏
Got my first Birkin there by just walking in, too. She obviously liked your look and thought you would represent the brand well. Enjoy!
Omg icon
The way your husband came in to celebrate in your purchase with you AND reinforce that you deserved it...*standing slow clap*
That’s what it’s all about, working hard for the things you want, then enjoying the fruits of your labor with the ones you love.
This is spot on. Omg. He knows that you deserve it. That is soooo sweet!
I know!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a american way of looking at life, haha
just bought 80$ pants and was feeling bad about spending too much... I feel much better now haha thanks Karen !
I was thinking the same. 😄
The scarf is gorgeous 😎😘congrats on your bag...
🤣🤣
Yes, I bought a pair of booties on sale from Nordstrom $89. and I’m wondering if I should return them when they arrive. Lol.
😆😆😆 glad I'm not the only one that think that this
This couldn’t happen to a more deserving person as you Karen. I love it 🥰!!! So happy for you!
Coudnt agree with you more 😁
That is the truth!! She radiates joy and kindness! I cannot wait to see how she styles it!!
Absolutely 💯
They probably googled your name and saw your awesome fashion videos! You know you are famous Karen!😘
oh no don't get me welling up!!!!
Michael is such a sweetheart, but he's right. You manifested it and you got it, congratulations girl - you deserve it.
We love it when Michael makes an appearance, you act like his girl everytime he enters a vlog....😘😘😘😘🍍🎶🎼🥁⚽️love you both......opps ...please open the scarf..
I feel like the Hermes bag scarcity is a but of a gimmick to fabricate demand...I don't know...and if so it clearly works because it makes people think they have something rare
Exactly, anyone with money can get an Hermes. If they were so rare they would be produced on order only, just like Ferraris.
same goes for Rolex, Patek Phillipe, Richard Mille, certain Louis Vuitton pieces, certain Chanel pieces, etc. Luxury is all about scarcity.
Exactly! Scarcity is the strategy for high value status.
If I had that type of money I would get one custom made to my liking...but not referring to Hermès...more so for any handbag designer. At least it would be more to my taste, unique, and I had more involvement in selecting the items for it. Hermès is too hyped up just like any other luxury brand in my opinion.
It takes a whole day to make one Kelly and two days to make a birkin. They are handcrafted in France and are incredible quality. They can’t just mass produce them to sell to anyone that wants one
This video is bringing me to tears, not because of the bag (which is a beauty), but because of the true message behind it.....”be yourself” and “manifestations.” Thank you for this reminder to stay focus and stay true to myself. 🌻
I really appreciate how you shared this experience as an appreciation as (1) this aesthetically beautiful piece and (2) the accomplishment of your personal goal, rather than focusing on the prestige side. I can’t afford an Hermès, but I love the look of their bags and I enjoy your work, so this vlog was the perfect synthesis without excluding your viewers. Congratulations on being at this joyful point in your life and thank you for showing us how our good days can lift each other up!
I agree. Karen is the real vlogger. No airs, no pretentions and that's what I admire about this Influencer. Went inside with one goal and (not to buy several items before being handed the actual bag) came out accomplishing that goal! I think everyone who goes to Hermes should do the same IF they really want only the bag.
Congratulations!!! Regarding dressing well to designer stores or appointments, I used to work at Harrods in Knightsbridge and they teach sales assistants to never judge anyone. Can’t say all the S.A’s act that way but, a lot of very rich people don’t even dress up when they go shopping. They walk around in sweats. So never feel embarrassed at these designer stores, they don’t know your bank account! Have fun and enjoy browsing if you can’t afford just yet ❤️❤️
Natasha I was treated like royalty in an LV boutique a few years ago. I was awed at the SA’s knowledge of the brand heritage. That experience has ruined me for all other boutique experiences though!
I agree to not need to dress up. I deliberately DIDN'T wear visible logos and just had on what you saw in the video: thrifted mens coat with black underneath with Zara boots that the Hermes SA really loved LOL! It's about YOU as a person I reckon? Regardless of what you wear.
@@KarenBritChick yes most likely! Confidence is key 😄 It would be interesting to hear from someone who is or has been a Hermes SA as the whole process of getting one sounds crazy!
Agreed. Some the friendliest service I ever received was when I went to the Jimmy Choo store. Super nice lady, very knowledgeable and frankly couldn't do enough for me. when I was there. Made the whole experience a pleasure. I liked her so much I went back and brought some more shoes a few weeks later.
Interesting because whenever I go into designer stores I always get glared at tho I have the money to buy things in there despite not being rich. The snobbery disgusts me.Fashion and style should be for everyone
This sounds harder than a job interview
hahahahahahhahahaha
😂😂😂
You win the comment of the day.
🥴🤣🥴😂💀😩😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I like your comment.. so true
Karen I'm just so ecstatic, I started watching your channel in 2014 and I cant even mentally comprehend how much of a reward it is to finally have a Hermes bag in your collection. You are truly passionate about fashion and you deserve all the little pleasures life is affording you now. Keep them coming
The SA is your fan and if there’s anyone who can make Hermès look young and hip and cool, it’s you.
Beautiful bag! I love the contrast stitching.
It makes me sad that Hermes insists that you purchase additional items. Just so you know, that’s illegal in the US. It’s called bundling. When a company knows you want product “A” and they say, we’ll you can buy A, but you also have to buy product “B”.
If you were forced to buy B to get A, that’s illegal.
However, BOTH are beautiful!
Karen, I believe you are more famous and well known than you realize. I think you got the bag, because they know you are so loved on social media. You have cornered a niche in fashion and there are many people who know your work.
Your channel is absolutely one of the best this genre has to offer. I get this wonderful feeling of escape into the world of fashion , unlike any of the others. I literally hate it when your videos end and come the next Friday, I’m waiting to have a nice sit-down with the girl I love and to pour-over every detail you bring to your channel.
Honestly, I think they know who you are and have the utmost respect for your work. You had to make an appointment and I bet “dollars to donuts” they Googled your name. You had that bag way before you got to their store. I’d bet money on my theory.
Bravo, my dear...I’m so very happy for you and I look forward to seeing you using this gorgeous bag in upcoming videos. You Rock! Lol
P.S. How it happened does not remove manifestation from the equation. There are (were) steps to all destinies, so I do believe in Manifestation of our dreams and desires and I do believe it’s a big part of your life story, to include getting your beautiful bag. 😊
I’ll bet that when people make an appointment, they google them. You have enough exposure and power as an influencer to merit them selling you a bag.
@@georgekenny6174 say what?
Love this and totally agree, Cynthia!
@Cynthia Lawlor Great comment!
U may be right
why do they need approval to sell the bag? Is it for the purpose of maintaining an air of exclusivity? I just find it strange that they'd say no to a customer who has the money to pay for their products.
It is just that
I also feel like its like you said from the side of exclusivity and its not being a mainstream bag/ brand to buy from think about it...... if that bag was so easily accessible how many people you would see with it on instagram, i think they want their brand to remain classic and timeless and not become a trend brand, along with their pieces. i hope that makes sense
I was thinking exactly the same. Plus, how are you gonna build a purchase history if you never start buying?
@@MrsVeronicat its so hard to justify why they do it because i guess they dont really give a strict reason to why they do it the way they do. But i know for a fact that im dreading the day where i am in the position to buy my first designer bag, i know that not all brands are the same however i remember being in paris mall and me and my boyfriend were looking at a bag and pair of shoes and it was almost like they were laughing at us, i feel like unless you look like you have all this money or some kind of celebrity your kinda regarded and your looked down on. I dont know i just dont want a shitty customer experience to make the memories of buying a bag of such money be tainted becuase of this reason... im typing fast so excuse the spelling mistakes and rambling!!!
elite culture 🙄
i swear thisis the 1st vdo i see where the hermes and the person look so perfect for each other.. it is as if this bag was created with you and no one else in mind in every detail of the piece. on the other hand, sorry having to make this comment - u just dont know the pressure the SAs are under. without a doubt she HAD TO be able to justify selling u this bag in front of her superior!!! she was in your corner the entire time and she was looking for a way to have you being granted the purchase of a hermes bag. im thrilled for you! LOVE
It's a beautiful bag, but the whole marketing angle of making people jump through hoops and prove themselves worthy in order to buy it - in a massive recession, no less - is laughable. Not to mention degrading. There's a whole very creepy psychological manipulation in play - frankly, I'm surprised you wanted to be party to it.
I totally agree. Also check out this documentary from DW (Deutsche Welle) : ua-cam.com/video/n7hzomuDEIk/v-deo.html
I feel like the whole jumping through hoops and being scared of looking too needy and pushy and also being scared of asking for what you want because you don’t feel worthy, is very reminiscent of the dynamics of an abusive relationship
Let's face it, the bag is basic af and 99.9% of people wouldn't want it if it was Hermès. People want it to say they have it. It is baffling.
I'm not really into bags, but your interactions/relationship with your husband is really sweet and heart warming. 🙏👫✨
Thank you so much
👍👍👍
Girl, wear your bag in good health 💕 Michael is so adorable. That bag is gorgeous, the color and size is perfect.
Anytime someone is able to create/manifest their dreams or goals it's a win. What this video is about is just that, a person who aligns with what they desire and it comes to be. I'm happy for you Karen and hope this inspires others to go for what you want. SOD OFF to anyone who has a judgement about it.
I love your personality. So down to earth. No pretensions at all. You're so genuine. We need more people like you. Congrats on your Kelly. It's as gorgeous as you.
ahh thank you!
i'm seeing a lot of bloggers getting their first hermes bags now with no history or anything. i think the pandemic slowed hermes sales so they're getting it back out into the public via influencers... Congrats to you! i'll covet from nj lol
100!!!
I highly suspect that a lot of the influencers you’re seeing purchasing these, are buying very good and expensive dupes. I trust Karen and don’t think she’d lie to us, but some other influencers i do look at sideways. I used to work in big magazines and a lot of editors who were still lower on the editor tier (so they weren’t getting all the amazing free pr stuff) but still wanted to flex like they would get insane dupes. The dupes aren’t cheap either, some can go for $2k-$3k which is expensive but compared to an actual Kelly bag is pocket change, and i think they’re passing it off as real
@@goldenxdiva6562 see I personally think the pandemic has also hit them hard. They need to meet sales targets so granting wishes, especially if you’re an influencer, is the easiest way to do that without damaging their reputation by doing things like pr packages or sales or uploading their bags online. No one could ever walk into the store and get a black or gold birkin off the bat it was months at the very least unless you were rich as fuck before the pandemic
That's possible...good business strategy!
How quota bags are produced and distributed among the boutiques would make it next to impossible that Hermès ends up with a number of Kellys or Birkins lying around unwanted, even with the pandemic (each season’s POs have been placed in the previous Feb and July, which means Karen’s bag has been ordered by the boutique and approved by Paris way after the pandemic hit.. not sure if that makes sense but the whole PO process is very calculated and straightforward for the specific reason of always keeping the supply much lower than the demand to maintain exclusivity - in short: no boutique can get more quota bags than it could sell). The story of walking into a boutique for the first time and leaving with a K or B isn’t new at all, it’s actually factored into each boutique’s quota for when the store manager decides to “fulfill the wish” of a lucky walk-in client who genuinely seems passionate about the Maison; it’s happened to at least 7 people I know - long before the influencer world was even a thing. What’s different now is that a lot of those passionate walk-ins are people who have a platform where they can tell the story, therefore the odds are much higher for an influencer to get offered a B or K and tell the story on YT, which in turn has lately snowballed and generated more interest in Hermès among influencers who haven’t even considered it or thought it attainable before.
Wow! The 32 is perfect! She was just sitting there waiting for you. The scarf is stunning.
Still can’t believe it. Yes the scarf is gorgeous!! I can’t wait to style it up
I am old an old movie buff and Grace Kelly is the epitome of style and grace along with Audrey Hepburn I have always wanted a Hermes Kelly and one day I will have one. Congratulations!
It’s a beauty congrats, for my 60th I ordered an Hermes scarf online, a girl deserves a treat every now and then
One of my fav videos about sharing the experience of buying a Hermes bag. For the 1st time someone that seems more normal, natural, herself that does not like/believe in whats called ‘the Hermes game’ with no purchase history but at the same time can afford the bag. Pretty much all videos here around the same topic are from girls that already own Hermes bags, with extensive purchase history, connections or with a lot of money u can tell by watching other videos or Ig post about their lavish life ( there is nothing wrong with that) but this videos just gives Hope to those that want a Hermes bag, has the money and thats it. 💙 the bag is beautiful
To be honest I would never know that this bag is that expensive if I saw it around. It's beautiful but nothing extraordinary.
There’s history behind it
@@justusgreen8498 lol
Then you don't know Hermes or luxury bags sweetheart 😂
what a "NOT NICE" thing to say ....if you dont like it thats OK of course ....but why say it ....
Jeez. Why say that?
A dear friend of mine, a WOC, very successful - went into the Hermes store in London. She wanted to purchase a scarf for herself as a reward for getting a large promotion. She was told, and I quote, "I cannot sell you anything as you cannot afford anything we sell". No kidding, that's what she was told. She turned on her heel and left the store, outraged. But she felt her choice was to either argue and try to "prove" herself or spend her money elsewhere. I am so happy for you Karen, but I have no time for that nonsense.
That’s ridiculous. Their scarves are very expensive, but I’m a teacher and I could afford one if I really wanted it.
You should report the person to head office. They state that their SAs should be the complete opposite of what you described, so I'd report the bugger. Maybe they'll make amends...some hope!
The London Hermes stores are known to be full of awful sales associates. Tells you a lot about the London lot, doesn’t it?
That is absolutely despicable service! As someone who has had experience serving everyday customers to VIP clients on the other side of the counter in a luxury store, I'm appalled. That sales associate should have been reported immediately.
Prettt Woman
I can relate. I got a Big Mac for lunch and I felt just as excited as Karen...the feeling is real. Congrats for getting the item you wanted!
🤣😂🤣😂thats too funny!!!
I absolutely love this comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you
🤣🤣🤣
Wasn’t expecting that comment 😂🤣😂🤣
I believe because you went in with no "airs", being your "down to earth" self was probably a relief for the SA!! Lol...I'm glad you were able to manifest the bag of your dreams! Nothing stands in the way of the Universe! What you think about, you bring about! Congratulations! It's a beautiful color! The best color I've seen in a Hermes bag!! Love it!
I've always believed that when something is meant to be it will happen. Regardless of the protocols and waiting times, I think you truly deserve it after all your hard work bringing us thoughtful and fresh content. Thank you for being such a light to me and to so many other people in these strange and difficult times.
I'm not a Hermès handbag girl, but the Kelly oozes such class. I will always her beauty from afar. Thx for sharing your Hermes experience. I've heard many nightmare purchase stories dealing with Hermes essays throughout the years. Knowing how you feel Karen about the Kelly bag, I'm thrilled to hear you purchased your dream Kelly first shot. Truly a blessing in disguise. Wishing you much joy walking the catwalk together for many years to come. Bless xo
Karen, you are so deserving. You give so much to others every day. This is your gift from the universe. Enjoy it and know that you are loved. 💛
I’ve been seeing a lot of people getting Hermès bags this year with little to no purchase history, maybe they were impacted by COVID a lot.
Excess stock, especially in big cities like NYC, due to lack of tourism + people spending less on lux goods. Great time to get one if you’ve been looking!
@@sfjayhawk5810 Yeah, I’ve seen like 8 or 9 different people get one in the past 3 months.
They are mass produced that why, you have the money, they will sell it to you. The marketing strategy is to make you believe that they are exclusive.
It happened to me. I bought 2 things. A wallet and a Hermès book. And I’m not an influencer AT ALL
Who else thinks it’s strange that so many youtubers are now getting hermes bags with no history ? It seems like hermès are changing their marketing strategy
I've noticed this too!!
Hmm
My thoughts exactlly!
Yes, i have been thinking about this also
@@smeredithmancuso I honestly think there are times they start releasing bags to influencers. I’m very happy for anyone acquiring items they want!
First of all the bag is perfect on you!! and second, you are so gracious about it getting it. I have watched so many of these unboxing videos and this has been my favorite!
Thank you so much!!
It does happen. Right place, right time, right attitude. Congrats! I'm sure right now with everything going on, sales of really high end goods aren't what they were a year ago too, so things might be sitting in store in the back a little longer than before. Who knows. The cool thing is that you put it into the universe and you got it! So happy for you!
Yes! Thank you! It could be a few things all rolled into one for sure
the SA is a subscriber!!!!
Ha ha ha ha 😂 😆 😄 🤣. RIGHT 😁👍🏼
I think so too.
could be!! im here for it
Either the other stories are really exaggerated when in fact they just didn’t have stock, or she’s a massive Karen Brit Chick fan! Either way congratulations!! 😁
I believe in my humble opinion that you got the bag "easily" due to the fact that nobody really have a lot of money to spare to buy this expensive bag because half of the people in America are unemployed and no one needs to shop luxuriously (I think?lol). Karen I love your UA-cam channel you always made my day.. most of all I love your STYLE!!!! I will keep and continue watching your channel.
Yep, a lot of us are broke....but many are NOT, and can afford it...but agree sure sales have leveled off....because we are are primarily at home...so what’s the point...in Karen’s case ...she celebrated a milestones!
@@maryd3779 actually, sales are up for fashion houses last year.
@@RNM-bu4rj then why are they raising the prices? Their is a deficit somewhere. LV raised their prices almost $100 for a speedy and did it a couple of times recently which is unheard of.
@@tarreemhacaruso2687 Only rich people can buy luxury so they can still afford the products when they increase prices.
@@theshinythings123 or people who save.
congratulations!!!!!! you are the second person i know of that u got the bag the same day. My friend got it in Paris few years back. i wish i could have the same luck when i save enough for it. So happy for you!
You know what?? It’s so great to see good people have good times and share those moments. Spreads the good vibes.
Applause to you Karen! Never give up on your desires, that's what we're on this planet for. The salesperson saw charm, grace, and honesty.
Congrats on the bag! It's a beautiful choice and your wear it well. Such a lovely story and reminder about the power of manifestation. Thanks for continuing to share your light! 😍
and thank you for seeing the light that we all have. OMG what is wrong with me? I feel like my channel is getting all spiritual LOL!!!
Glad Hermes is finally open to making money - it's about time they crush that wait system! Congratulations on your beautiful bag!
This is my first time watching you. I somehow have gotten sucked into the Hermes vortex. I will never be at this level of luxury buying, but I have loved your video. You come across as so down to earth and genuine. I'm glad you were able to use this to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments. It is beautiful and timeless. I also love your joggers!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and the great suggestions. I hear you, as a salesperson, there are strategies and limits we may work within, but the salesperson usually is inclined to creatively meet needs and occasionally, fulfill dreams (This is one of the joyful aspects of being in sales). Of all the sales positions I have had, handbag sales was my favorite, it can be personal and moving (I am now an interior design student).The 32 is perfect, I gasped, superb choice! Please, forgive the impertinence, you and your style are lovely by the way. Happy visualizations, best.
Thanks for sharing!!
You have a magnetic Energy and your appreciation for craftsmanship really translates, I'm not surprised you we're offered one ! Congratulations :)
Oh my gosh that is the most beautiful bag in the world! The colour is amazing. THAT STITCHING 🧵 AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I believe in manifestation. Long enough dreaming about the prefect camel coat, and finally found one! Now I better manifest a Kelly! ☺️
Congratulations, you deserved it! ❤️
OMG I need to wear the two manifestations together for sure!!! The kelly and the camel!!!!!!
@@KarenBritChick got one from The Curated ☺️ the best cashmere camel coat ever! 😍
It honestly believe it's because you are just so lovely, your warm personality shines. The assistant would have seen you are genuine, excited and going to take great care of the bag. Your a wonderful soul x
My jaw dropped when you pulled out that bag, so classic and stunning
Congratulations
Thank you so much!! it truly is
Imagine if you are the associate at Hermès & you have this power to decide. The next person after you might get totally declined & the next get a bag in 6 months etc..they probably just decide by their feelings that day or vibes they get
I think you got it simply because someone googled you. I think you also have good energy so maybe that played a part...you’re a likeable influencer. Anyhow, handheld bags are not my jam, but the tan is a versatile color and looks lovely with your complexion.
it has a long strap of course. while i agree, the hermes kelly just doesn't "do it" for me, she is pretty
You think she booked the appointment under the name KarenBritChick?
@@Curvesohyeah I don’t know. Maybe ask her?
Hmmm...making it clear through innuendo to a prospective buyer that their chances of purchasing what they came into the store to purchase will be greatly enhanced -if the customer purchases something else first or in addition to - is coercion and is against the law in NY State. Hope someone in the AGs office is watching this. Disgusting and illegal business "practice and policy."
Totally agree. Come on now.
Not just in NY but also in Switzerland... ridiculous
Not really. It’s called upselling and it’s literally everywhere. “Would you like fries with that?” You don’t have to buy the fries but most do.
You seem like a genuine, lovely lady and that's why you got the bag!Your husband seems lovely too.
Not surprised at all! When you are kind and genuine, it shows and people will return in kindness!
I also received my first Etoupe Kelly in Miami w No purchase history!
Wait until you start on the Hermes perfumes... its a downward spiral.. scarfs, bags, sandals... Hermes is another level.... watch the artisan videos how they make the bags... the heritage is extraordinary... Congratulations the bag is gorgeous!!
Oh come on artisan they r basic.
@@georgekenny6174Hermes and basic.. ok... no point speaking to me, go voice your opinion with those who hand stich the leather....hand paint the ceramics.. etc etc... bye
@@sorcha259 it doesn't even have any compartments inside. Just a basic shape. Kind of a granny bag.
Congratulations on reaching this awesome milestone and acquiring something you’ve always wanted. It’s not happenstance! What is meant for us, we will get. Nobody (or supposed rules) can stop it when it’s time to receive our blessings! Again, congratulations!
I’m genuinely happy for you! You seem like a great person and manifestation works!! Congratulations on the beautiful bag!!!! 💜
I'm not even into purses and stuff, but this was suggested for me for what ever reason. I am SO happy for you. It was meant for you to have. Just the genuine excitement in your voice. Hope that you enjoy it!
Ah, the glorious Kelly. Yes, you have a wonderful charisma about you. Nothing is written in stone, not even specific Hermes protocol with regards to purchasing choice pieces. The power of manifestation and expert timing have served you well, in addition to your lovely and genuine demeanour. Do become a regular patron of Hermes. Well done, Karen!
Covid may have been hard on these luxury brands' sales. Your purse & scarf are stunning. Personally, I'm too frugal to buy these types of items & I have a strong aversion to snobby sales assistants.
Was thinking the same, and lets hope this snobbism is history. I can't deal with it either. We're all just humans, it's beyond ridiculous anyone should have to "beg" for buying a bag, or anything else for that matter. Elitism should be out by now.
Hermes seem to be really into giving bags straight away to influencers at the moment
10 grand a pop is not exactly giving them away.
Yeah I just saw Je Suis Lou’s video and a few others and thought the extra same thing....... interesting
It’s a business cost, not that expansive...(talking generally)
And that speaks volumes on its own. A real exclusive brand would never do that.
It's beautiful! Congrats! Interested to see how you style it especially with more of your edgier looks! Also love your husband being so supportive!
This video was so fantastic! Your joy made my day. Congratulations! Just wonderful to see how much you love the bag and how excited you are. Lovely.
Truly no one deserves this bag more than someone that literally squeals with glee over style finds. I’m sure we all would prefer you get this bag over another jaded billionaire. ❤️
I will never understand the fascination with this overpriced bag.
i have two bags very beautiful in fine letter one tun colour the other black Spanish made its vintage an very closer to the Kelly bag wherever I go the women look and became very confused thinking if its or not an HERMMES CREATION. I just enjoy it. And it only cost me £400. I saw a woman on UA-cam she bought a Christian Dior candle for £75 and it didn't came with a lid so she bought a lid for £35 just for the brand . The candle would burn for maybe 10hrs. And finito. Then she bought books of CHANNEL, TOM FORD, AND LV. Just to place on her coffee table. To impress people . She has no class, it born with you. Its Oky she deserve it later they sell it as it upgrades at all time and there is a market for it. Good luck to Karen I am sure if she would have seen my bags she would have been crazy as well.
It sort of makes sense. It’s top notch quality and very exclusive so no wonder people want one. It also looks neat
Then never understand it that’s totally fine
Or any bag for that matter. Shhhheeeeesh!!!!
It's Hermès.
I agree with Michael I feel like you got it because it was just meant to happen, the power of manifestation!
I can see it settling in perfectly into your wardrobe and setting off all your amazing ‘Karen’ outfits 😍
I love how happy this has made you! It's nice to see😁
I love how excited you are over the bag! You are so genuine & lovely! Will be watching more!
It’s always nice to see people find happiness in something , someone, or somewhere time to time.
♥️
I don't believe in manifestation at all, as it wouldn't work with so many other things people might want to put out into the 'universe' and 'manifest'.But I do believe you were blessed to get that bag.I Love when people get things they have wanted and waited for. Enjoy it hun 💞
Omg! I have has its cousin for years!! 32 Togo retorne with palladium! I love it so much and I’m so so happy you got one!
The bag is beautiful. I kept staring at it throughout the video! Love the color!
I stopped watching unboxings a while ago, so I surprised myself when I watched this one. That being said, I was actually moved by your reaction to getting your ‘Kelly bag. You wanted the bag for its beauty, elegance and the history of the fashion house, not as some thing to score or some sort of trophy hunt.. i’m sure it was your sincere appreciation for the bag that got you one so quickly, the sales associate would clearly have been able to see your respect for the brand. Well done you. It’s a beautiful bag and I hope you wear it for decades.
You are fabulous ! Thank you for cheering me up ! Sending love 💗
Your excitement is contagious! What a great experience for your Hermes purchase :)
I’m happy for you... I have watched you for quite some time and your put so much time and effort in your work and you deserve this. I’m happy your were able to walk out with your bag.
Thank you so much!
They are probably tired of reseller’s and want people who will love the bag to buy:)
Exactly!
true! and there was this news that a gang was buying up all the Hermes bags to resell!
@@coolbro0725 I read that article as well! They also made the suggestion that Hermes is selling to bloggers. It is interesting that you are now seeing bloggers have easy access to the bags. It is not a ray from heaven or the earth moving as some have suggested. It is that she has a following and has the funds and will create all the buzz that we are seeing. Hermes isn't stupid just elitist.
@@karenmyers3672 thought this too. And with the pandemic perhaps they have had a slower year and are thinking about making up for the year of less activity.
@@karenmyers3672 exactly. They’re not stupid. They just understand marketing very well and are adapting to the times.
So awesome!! All good vibes and happiness and excitement for you!! You deserve this lovely bag and moment and enjoy this fun gorgeous experience. Happy happy happy for you and your lovely lovely husband. You guys are wonderful!
So sweet how Michael walked into your video and said “congratulations”! What a supportive partner!
So I generally watch for the street fashion videos, I’ve heard of Hermes handbags but that’s it. Out of curiosity, I googled the price. 😳 And then on top of it, they make you think it’s an opportunity you have to earn? lol I can’t. This luxury world is so foreign yet fascinating to me.
Congrats though! It’s a gorgeous work of art!
Oh snap i almost died at seeing the price
Congratulations😍 this is the bag of a lifetime!! Seeing a trend here.. of luxury UA-camrs opening Hermes Birkins/Kellys in the past month.. new from store with little or no purchase history at all. Some even without even knowing the SA. Seems weird right?🙃
Congratulations on your acquisition! Such a classic! You so deserve it my fellow Virgo! 👜👜👜

I found a black leather Constance with gold hardware in a thrift store for $9.99 about 3 years ago. It is my most treasured bag, and definitely my favourite Hermes bag. It is a little banged up, the hardware is scratched a small amount, but I love vintage bags that show their love and wear. So happy for you that you found your new bag. Cheers
Your bag is my dream bag. What an absolutely beautiful piece, it’s stunning on you!

It's great that this bag is now under the care of someone that will only enhance IT with an amazing style sense. IMHU the Hermes brand should be happy that someone like you, Karen will be wearing this Kelly !!!!!
I consider them to be just as lucky as you !!!!!
This seems to be the year all the youtube favorites I follow got their first hermes bag the past couple of month lol
You look so happy! I am happy for you! It is a lovely bag. The white stitching is exceptional. The size is perfect for you...and the scarf is equally perfection!
Congratulations on your 10 years on you tube and on getting that Kelly bag. It's beautiful. But really, it's not surprising to me that they let you have it. They know who you are. They asked you all the right questions. You are a huge influencer who truly has style. Some other you tubers use designer bags as an investment and merely a way to make money on the trading of them. Meanwhile, they compare and criticize the lines they bought on social media. You win the prize!
