Not only do you need to order the goods, but you also have to wait for several months.
If it’s a special leather like crocodile or ostrich skin, the wait will be even longer.
What’s even more impressive is that while other brands treat customers like royalty, Hermès salespeople act like lords in front of their customers.
If you want to buy a bag from this brand, you first need to build a good relationship with the sales associates (SAs), then accumulate a certain amount of spending records to show brand loyalty, and only then can you express your desire to buy the bag.
It’s infuriating!
However, it is precisely because Hermès bags are so difficult to obtain and in high demand that they have such high collectible value.
Many designer bags depreciate in value over time.
A bag worth tens of thousands of yuan can sometimes only be worth a few thousand yuan on the secondhand market, a terrifying drop in price.
Only Hermès’ BKC series bags appreciate in value after purchase, increasing by 10% to 30% annually, making them a more worthwhile investment than gold or stocks.
This is the fundamental reason why so many wealthy women are so eager to own Hermès bags; they buy them not to flaunt their wealth, but as an investment.
Gu Jia, who was carrying a limited edition Chanel 2.55 worth 60,000 yuan, was actually disliked by the wives’ circle for not being high-class enough, and was even cropped out of the group photo.
It wasn’t until she bought an ostrich leather Kelly 28 from Wang Manni that she was able to successfully squeeze into this circle.
Although this is the worst Chanel has ever been criticized, it also illustrates Hermès’ status in the world of handbags.
Hermès is a favorite among wealthy women and also has investment value.
She is now considered a wealthy woman, so of course she would choose a bag brand that matches her status.
In fact, if we’re talking about preserving value, real estate is the best way to do so and the most resistant to inflation.
Many of the people on the current rich list got rich through real estate speculation.
She could easily use her own money to buy dozens of houses, keep one for herself, and use the rest to collect rent.
How wonderful it would be to be a comfortable landlady!
Unfortunately, Shanghai has purchase restrictions, and since she doesn’t have a local household registration and hasn’t paid enough taxes for the required number of years, she’s not eligible to buy a house and can only wait. This chapter was copied from NovelPing without permission.
Since I can’t buy a house right now, I can only buy myself a few nice handbags for now.
Thinking this, Ye Jia turned around and walked to the front of the Hermès boutique.
Unlike her previous life when she came to Hermès with trepidation, Ye Jia appeared particularly calm and composed this time.
She’s now a billionaire, so she can afford even the most expensive Hermes bags.
There weren’t many customers inside Hermès.
After all, it’s the king of luxury goods; items here often cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Just like in her previous life, the sales clerks and saleswomen all treated her coldly and indifferently when she came in.
This was completely different from the warm welcome she received from the sales assistants at Guerlain, Estée Lauder, and Givenchy when she entered the stores earlier.
The sales staff at Hermès are quite arrogant, but they have the right to be, since the brand’s bags are so sought after.
Every customer who enters Hermès is all smiles on the outside but cursing inside.
At the same time, every Hermès salesperson has developed a keen eye, able to judge your wealth by your clothing, jewelry, and watch.
