The whole phrase, "Hermes Journey" just pisses me off. I'd rather buy from a quality reseller than be disrespected and scrutinized. Ridiculous. EDIT: Every single comment with a fake bag sitebracketed between KZread icons will be reported for SPAM and unwanted commercial content!

Wonderfully explained!! You are so wise!

Thank you for sharing the reality of the Hermes jouney. Im not on the journey, probably will never be, its not for everyone's budget. But lots of people on YT get exposed to tonnes of unboxings and think its normal to spend heavily and that its all happy to go lucky but the reality is that its not for a normal budget. You need deep pockets for real!

My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *hotdups* are my go-to.

Thanks for watching!!❤❤ yes it does look like everyone else is getting a quota bag left right centre but in reality they're probably spending 100k a year maybe in prespend even more.. definitely not something an ordinary person like me can afford to 😂😂!! Too bad I started now I'm in too deep to not continue. 😢😢😢

The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your *jklux* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.

I love a good *preluxz* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!

Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! And the *hotdups* bag!

Love the video 🩷 I completely agree that the “Hermes journey” (ugh yes cringe lol) can be so stressful (and expensive!) I too have had so much guilt on the money I spend there..I ultimately did get my quota bag and I do love my purchases from Hermes but i just can’t help but think of all the money spent and how it would have been smarter to invest it 😬 you’re certainly not alone in these feelings! Lol

Seriously, who cares if its a fake. I bought the real *jklux* last year and frankly after inspecting it I wasnt THAT impressed with what I paid. And the prices go up every year. Is Chanel increasing quality on the bags? Whats the justification for the increase? Because its helps with the hype. Its a marketing scheme. The more scarce they can make it the more people want it. Theres nothing wrong with this fake. I mean just because the chains dont jingle right LOL.

Hi Steph!! Omg yes, you just articulated all my feelings and thoughts !! Thanks for also sharing your feelings about this, i know , cringe journey loll😂😂. Feel so silly every time I say it. I feel like social media just shows all these massive unboxings everywhere, but in reality, it's not viable financially for the average person. There's a lot I could be doing with that money, but we only live once, so yolo. 😂. And you're so lucky you actually got your qb! So all your money was worth it anyway 😊.

i would never get in the band wagon of Hermes journey even if I have plenty of money...

to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are*preluxz* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do.

I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *preluxz* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.

I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

Hello Hun ❤ you know who I am .. my friend has spend 130k so far for mini kelly and no luck so far .. mini kelly resale has come down a lot I 100% buying preloved and atleast one can save a lot of prespend . It is a lot of stress and lot of money

La sakoj ene de *jklux* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.

Buying luxury (or buying in general) is becoming a hobby, and most people don't buy to own anymore. It's an expensive hobby, especially for a brand like Hermès.

I would never buy anything from a brand whose employees treat you like trash and make you feel bad about yourself. Just continue to buy preloved in my opinion.

I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*preluxz* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

Ya but no I am happier with resale market. Their clothes aren’t great and jewellery too yikes

Totally agree with your thoughts ! The Hermes pre spend doesn’t really add up given that a pre loved bag is so much cheaper ( and get exact specs too) my prev SA told me some clients were told to buy a $10k chair 🪑 😰

That's what they get for acting like they have money carrying a Hermes bag 😂🤣. Then they live in an apartment or regular house. I rather have a nice house than pretend to be rich because you're carrying Hermes.
