Heyylloo once again blogger world. I decided to write about an interesting topic here. Have you ever heard of the Hermes Birkin bag? If you haven't, they are one of the world's most coveted hadbags. Celebrities are seen toting them and the waitlist for these bags are endless. A French brand, Hermes, successfully created a fashion empire out of handbags by creating an illusion of limited supply and infinite demand. These bags can cost up to 100,000 dollars and sometimes even more depending on your customization, preferences, and so forth.
Hermes Birkin Bags are handmade by artists in France. They are made up of animal materials, with different animal skins to choose from. The choices are as wild and as exotic as Himalayan Crocodiles, to Blue Ostriches, to lizards and snakes. Then you can choose the type of hardware you would like, whether its gold, silver, bronze, or simply diamonds and jewels. These bags are hand sewn to perfection and even the animals skin is dyed by hand! The fact that these bags are made up of rare animals, are fully hand made, and have hardware details made up of expensive earthly materials, is the exact reason why these bags cost a fortune!
The Hermes stores also do not set these bags up on public display. They are concealed in vaults behind the store and one has to qualify to even sign up for the wait list. Many other folks now contact online hand bag re sellers and get "used" bags for cheaper. Usually the bags on the resale market are in top condition. These bags also receive free upgrades and cleaning treatment by the company itself after every few years if you have the bag insured. Simply put, these bags are an investment like real estate properties themselves and are maintained to the maximum.
The Hermes brand has mastered the perfect formula to remain one of the top and iconic handbag brands in history. And that is the creation of mystery around the product, the illusion of low supply and rarity, along with celebrity endorsements, and creating almost what seems like a rich occult around the item. Their use of exotic materials and artisan craftsmanship also adds that special touch to this bag that is far from an ordinary designer bag from the mall.
So would you ever consider buying this bag? Or would you rather just buy a house in that price?
Thanks for Reading!
