    One thing that bugs me with Hermès is that they are incredibly SEXIST when it comes to selling Birkin bags. I had to build up a reputation and purchase history with a salesperson before I was ever able to purchase a Birkin bag, even with requesting private appointments. However, I did an experiment with two of my male friends. I called as their "personal assistants" and dropped wanting to surprise someone with an expensive gift in the conversation and BOTH were offered the opportunity to purchase Birkins with no prior history (one was only offered the bottom of the barrel of what they had on hand, the other was allowed to request the specific bag). I'm not the only person that has experienced this either.

    I figured i’d jump in to elaborate on your comment to do with climate and storing bags. From where i’m sitting, i’d guess there’s absolutely some sort of climate control in that closet. Especially with the climate in singapore, storing that many leather handbags has you fighting against leather’s greatest enemy - humidity. Jamie is absolutely right that boxes suffocate the bags, and not just in the aesthetic sense but also in the literal sense. I have a friend who stored all her bags in boxes in her closet, many of which were only getting pulled once a year, and after leaving them for some time she returned after a particularly humid summer to find multiple pieces bubbling and deteriorating. It seemed like the issue was the stale humid air stuck inside the box. And the crazy part was this was happening on all sorts of kinds of leather, from predictably delicate lamb skin all the way up to safiano. She even had one LV coated canvas piece form bubbles. I still don’t fully understand how that happened or why, but I know it stopped when she moved into an dryer space and started storing them in their dust bags out of the boxes. I know this is super anecdotal, but just wanted to share and I figured someone might find it interesting.

    I do find it very interesting indeed, thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to add that clothing and accessories can be very challenging to conserve since they are often made with many different materials - particularly, there's often metal pieces (zippers, buttons, metallic threads, beads, etc.) attached to the main body of the garment/accessory, which is usually either in natural fibers or animal skin. Metal and natural fibers are conserved at different temperature and humidity, so to properly store garments that have both can be hard. Not to forget all the bone/shell/wood decorations and other types of fabrics that have their own needs. Also, light exposure can do a LOT of damage - it can gravely affect colour and dry/burn certain materials.

Guess what LV replied me when I sent them an email few days later after the purchase? They reminded me that Singapore is an extremely humid country thus the oxidization. No other form of service recovery in that email. I refrain from buying anything from LV since. On a personal note, I need to use electric dehumidifying rods in my wardrove as I had mold growing on clothes before! Leather products are just tip of the iceberg!

I can even see how the birkin would be a nice bag to use for everyday life. You're 100% right that it doesn't trabslate well as a statement piece. If I didn't know the "value" of those bags, having them all lined up in different colours and sizes, just seems like the world's most uninspiring bag store. The fact that these retail for tens of thousands of dollars honestly kind of makes me sick. The cost of the labour and materials involved none withstanding. I'm with Luke on this one.

    You're right that Hermes is not fashion-forward. With their Birkins and Kellys, they aren't trying to be. Their art really begins with their dyes and colors, their seasonal colors, the vibrancy of their leather. The bag itself has not and will not ever change. It's meant to be a heritage piece. So I agree with what you're saying. I think people "want" something out of Hermes that they just aren't going to get.

    They're not investment pieces lol. Purse fanatics have spread that lie to make themselves feel better about wasting so much money. A Birkin bag loses 20% of its value the second it leaves the store, and devalues fractionally the more you use it, and the longer you have it. It is pretty much impossible to break even on a Birkin, much less make money if you have to sell it; you're going to be LOSING money. Which is literally the opposite of an investment.

    And you know what’s actually funny? She did an episode showing her 5 most dislike bags, that she regretted buying. Most of them are Chanels😂 And not that because it’s not worth money or expensive, it’s too SMALL! I guess that’s the right reason to regret buying something😃

    Honestly I like smaller bags a lot because I don’t always carry that much

    @@missserenity1090 no kidding, me too! most of my bags can’t fit my old phone (iphone xr), only now that I changed to the 13th mini that it fit inside most of them😂 There’s something ab mini bags that are just so appealing tho!! They’re small and quite versatile, doesn’t take up much space but of course doesn’t hold much stuff either! Nevertheless, I’m still gonna buy more in the future anyways. Even though I might also need to invest in bigger handbags.

    LOVE the displays on the end caps of her pull-outs; great way to show a special item or outfit off in a classy way, and it can be a great way to show that like items lie within
