Congrats on your new bag Mel!! She's such a beauty (: Def a dream combination!
Congratulations on your milestone bag! I got offered a Constance 24 myself just last week and of course I jumped on it! You are right on the building a relationship with an SA, being patient and purchasing to earn points towards quota bags. I did those things but I have so far just purchased items that I truly love and use. My offer was the reissue Constance 24 in Mauve Sylvestre with rose gold hw. Constance is included in my wishlist with Hermes together with the Kelly. I got my first Hermes, a Birkin 30 from a reseller, and boy what a difference in price! Resell prices are triple if brand new and double if preloved! More power on your chanel!
Hi Mel!!! Congrats on your first B25!!!! Happy 30th birthday to you!!!! I also celebrated my 30th with a Birkin as well last year!!!! Love the excitement that you bring into your video!!! Can't wait to see how your H collection to grow!!! Thanks for sharing! 💕

do you by any chance have the rarest Hermes leather bags of all, in TROIKA leather? I hear Hermes made only a few dozen before it was discontinued.

Would you say when your trying to build a relationship with a SA what items and how much do you need to spend to eventually be offered a Birkin or Kelly?
Congratulations 🖤
My mom bought one LYXBAG and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Congrats this is my dream bag
Just went on a date with a woman who had this bag. I thought it cost about a thousand bucks, but given the actual cost of this thing, I've definitely dodged a bullet. I would never have a relationship with a woman who spends this much on a purse. I had a sense she was materialistic, but this is ridiculous. My income is much higher than hers, by the way.

you probably spent a lot more on suits or cars and somehow that's different
Can I ask what your spend was before being offered the bag? I’ve heard Toronto is 3:1 spend ratio before an offer.
@melhwang

Hard to say! I think it’s more about the relationship than anything. Ive had friends spend a lot less/a lot more. I’d say I’ve spent less than 3x the cost of the bag (on other items I’ve also waiiiiited for - my Picotin, pillows, etc). It’s hard to get any item there 😂

Gorgeous B!!!! HUGE CONGRATS!!!! Just FYI... the Stamp comment you made is actually not correct. On bags with rose gold hardware, the stamp is gold and so are the feet. Sounds weird but it is true.
I feel a bit sad for people like me who cannot, due to their past struggles and traumas, so comfortably go into stores and form these relationships with the staff. I’ve seen this suggestion for luxury boutiques in general, not just here about Hermês. I guess it doesn’t affect many people, but there will be some who might wonder why this doesn’t work for them. It might take them awhile to realize it’s not their fault, it’s just one more thing that that trauma made difficult for you. I’m here for your happy story, so, back to the fun
You shouldve buy orange classic if its your first.
Happy for you congratulations that how I was with my 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I was thinking the same thing when she mentioned *always the same color. Because it's not always the case. Rose gold hardware has gold stamping, then there's the blind stamp for barenia and so black birkins, as well as a few other variations. Sometimes the suede "grizzly" birkins have different stamping.

Congrats on your beautiful QB! I’m disappointed in some of the viewer’s comments here. Like why are they even watching? So sorry you have to read some of the rude comments of people trying to rain on your parade. If you can’t say something nice folks, don’t say anything at all. Can’t wait for my first Birkin, but I’m manifesting a 30-35cm in Barenia Fauve. Love yours though! ❤
I have here hermes bag
I hope you get a Himalayan next time!
I love my new birken 25 too, but I couldn’t be this shallow and removed from reality
Still the price is too expensive even handmad

You can buy the cheap fake trash for $300. The machine good quality is $600 The handmade super fake quality around $1200. Or you can buy the real thing between 11K to 100K. My Etoupe Togo B 35 CM was $12K at the Hermes store (2015).
Hermes....or Honda
11K for a bag… I wish I could afford one. Beautiful bag.

My Etoupe Togo in 35 CM was offered to me at 11,995 USD in 2015.
Nice content but I’ll have to disagree with you on 3:36. Their approach not being about how much money can we make. Having people have a “presend” to get a bag sounds to me like 3:36 they want to force people to spend on their brand and sounds like a money making strategy to me. I do agree that the quality is top notch.
Where did you learn French??
congrats on the bag. Personally, I am not a fan of the handle or the bag in general. So overpriced. I do not like the open compartment inside. Happy 30th.

Bag just a bag, why so big deal.i rather save a money for better house.
Great. I am sure you feel exclusive now. You feel you are above than so many people. Good for you. You must feel wonder now. There is a million dollar hang beg from Hermes too. You should look into that. You can never have too many Hermes, right?
Thats a fake bag, anyone who owned one knew 🐶
The biggest problem with the toronto store is that nothing is ever in stock. How do you build a relationship and buy things you love when every single thing is out of stock? I've shopped H for decades from Dubai (used to live there) so I already own most of the base stuff and since my profile didn't transfer over here in Toronto, I'm stuck starting over with nothing left to buy. It sucks so much, I put my wishlist for a Kelly in 1 year, 10 months ago now and my SA won't even talk about the wishlist with me anymore.
