⁠@@annajustinewhite1743 it’s such a basic design. Maybe it’s not ugly, but it’s definitely not a pretty bag. If people saw the design somewhere else before they learnt about Hermès and it’s exclusivity, I doubt they would buy it for 10 times less. There are great designs out there for perhaps 100 times less but they don’t sell as good as birkins because small businesses don’t have all the resources for marketing.

It’s laughable that Hermès sales associates are instructed to say “We’ve sold our last piece and the rest is display only”. Hysterical.

I've been using it and neglecting it, but I'm impressed with the quality and timing *preluxz*

I worked as a jeweler for a year. I worked with palladium it is, and it isn't expensive. The palladium plating concentrate is sold in a 1 liter bottle. The bottle is like $1000+ dollars. And to make the plating solution you need about 8 oz of deionized water in a glass beaker, and add like 1/2 oz of the palladium solution. And then you set up the electrical connection, for plating. I had a black palladium plated LV Louis Vuitton belt buckle that was "peeling" off the black metal plating. And since I was working as a jeweler; I polished it to remove the black plating, gave it a sand blasted finish, and palladium plated it for like 15 minutes to get a super thick plating coating.

@tanner.leatherstein

Thank you for sharing the details. My source estimated the palladium cost on this type of coating to be about 3-5 Euros roughly. So it is not much palladium at all but it is better than other buckles we see around.

​@@tanner.leatherstein True, in the jewelry business the palladium metal plating pays for itself. If you pay for the bottle $1000 dollars, and you charge to polish and palladium plate white gold rings $50 dollars you need about 20 rings to polish and palladium plate to total $1000 dollars. And 1/2 oz of the plating solution can easily plate over 50 rings.

I’d forgotten how Hermès were traditionally a saddlery & harness business at the beginning. Throughout their branding there is the use of equestrian symbolism. I’ve had a look at their website & they’ve continued to make saddles, horse blankets & other equestrian items. I looked up the saddlery company GFS who made my horse’s saddle in Walsall, UK. They are still in business & also adverting for a trainee saddler too for £23K a year. It’s good to see that the midlands still has the traditional saddlery industry.

Extremely common designs, excellent craftsmanship but nothing you wouldn’t see on other good brands, and ridiculously high prices. Even if you can afford it, simply doesn’t make sense to spend money on such an ordinary piece like those. Hermés nowadays is just a proof that status can be more valuable than money itself.

I don't know how luxury brands work or the production costs, but they should use full grain leather in their belts if they are going to sell them at abysmal prices. I build belts for myself and some of my friends, I use 3.5mm thick full grain cowhide with 100% sterling silver buckles, for approximately 75 dollars maximum, full silver, not coated. I love your channel, Mr. Tanner. I got started in leather goods by watching your videos.

No matter if it's the *esluxscom* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.

If you really want to buy a bag from the store, you need to be more specific when you ask for one. It's not that Hermes don't think you are deserving, it's just they hate resellers and instruct their sales associates to avoid them. If you go in stores just asking for any bag, then the answer will always be "sorry, we don't have any". However if you show genuine interest in their products, like asking for "in the loop bag belt bag" in etoupe color, togo leather, gold hardware things may be different. Let then know you are familiar with their products, like bags that are not trendy, and the sales associates will likely warm up to you. They will see you as true costumer. Another tip is to go for tax free stores inside airports and ask for a specifc bag. If they have it in stock, they are obligated to sell it to you because they are not allowed to hide inventory.

Loved your video. It’s refreshing to hear from the perspective of a leather craftsman. I used to have a line of bags I designed, mostly in exotic leathers. Anyway, I think it’s wonderful you are highlighting the talented people who can create leather goods independently of the large corporations.

Great perspective. I agree, we need the brands like Hermes to set lots of standards and benchmarks not only in price but quality, ethics and environmental practices. So it is not fair to bash at the corporations as they are pure evil. As always a good balance of corporations, small businesses and artisans make all of us better.

I’ve been following Peter and Lili for years and I’m so happy to hear someone else mention their work! They make amazing products and Peter has even made products specifically for companies like Patek Philippe! Definitely worth a lot more than Hermes in my opinion

Thank you for making this video and being so honest about it. It’s good to know that these brands it’s all about logos and names but when it comes to selling costumers an item.. turns out it’s not the best quality. Also thanks for mentioning better alternatives like Chester Mox!

The best thing about the Birkin bag is the assortment of colors and also , the 35 cm bag is great for travel as you can pack a lot into it. You can get around purchasing one, it is not as exclusive as the company tries to make it out to be. And there are many on the resale market

I started using the mz Wallace nylon bags…they’re lightweight, easy to clean, hold tons of stuff and have lots of inside zippers and pockets. Once I became a mom I now prioritize function over fashion. I don’t think any Hermes bag provides much function.

I love your videos, thank you for that. Personally, I love Birkin and Kelly (retourne version). They are absolutely timeless.

While I don't find the Birkin ugly (I also don't think it's particularly pretty, either), it does seem impractical. Like an outdated design. No strap, fussy foldover top with sangles and turn lock. It looks like a complete pain in the butt to open and close. Better handbag mechanics have evolved since the Birkin was created. Thank you for this informative video.

So much money that can be used to feed the poor Around the globe.

When I first saw the Birkin, I thought the closure was too fiddly and awkward. Then I realized it’s just a status symbol. It boggles the mind how anyone would buy that belt that costs less than $100 to make, and pay almost $1000. 🙄 Hermes will never see me as their customer, since I don’t think I’ve ever spent over $200 for a bag, and the last few years I’ve even been making my own.

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! GREAT CONTENT!

I love Hermes jewellery, the design is sublime. And prices are affordable for silver items.

Excellent video, thank you.

You are welcome!

I love the The Row bags some of them . I love to be simple and not that heavy . But I can’t afford either. Maybe one day .

Interesting video. Did you put the belt back together to use it or did you just make yourself a new belt using the beautiful buckle? Why do you think they didn't use Togo on both sides? $ or looks?

Thank you. I will make a strap myself to use that great buckle. I think they go for two different style options to the consumer as togo is a pebbled grain and the otherside would be better if it is plain. I think that's the reason. I don't think Hermes has any reasons to cut cost from their production. They don't need to as they can charge whatever they want anyways

Great one, thanks, have a great weekend
