Long shot. Anyone here was able to secure Hermes bag without prior spending or history with the brand? Looking for a milestone purchase but keep hearing the spend you need to make upfront to get the bag is outrageous

Option 3: go to Paris and try the lottery there

likehelpful

also this

extremely extremely unlikely but not impossible. you basically have 2 options, buy one resale, which is great because instant buy but usually double the price so not so great

option 2; do you have a boyfriend/husband? they are way more likely to offer up front to a man because if a guy walks in looking for a bag for a gift they tend to see it as an automatic sale. legit have someone walk in and say they want to buy a gift for their SO and know she likes their bags. i know a few people who have gotten bag offers this way with no prior spend

hahah it’s super ridiculous but it’s a much better shot than trying yourself

Good idea

Best way to get your spend up is to buy their fine jewelry. I have their CDC bracelet in rose gold, and it makes more of a dent in your profile than buying clic clsc bracelets, belts, and Oran sandals (which I also have).

What bag are you trying to get? The Paris lottery is for the birkin or the kelly but it’s very very very difficult to get a lottery slot, and even if you get an appointment, it’s still 50/50 whether you get a B/K. The non quota bags are slightly easier

I recommend you going the reseller route. If your strategy is getting another to get a birkin or Kelly, then you probably won't get your birkin and Kelly. A heavy leather goods profile won't get you a quota bag. People buy across categories and spent an average of 15-20k before they are offered one, and mostly of the time not the top of their wishlist (not the color / hardware / size they wanted)

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
