Hermes sued over blocking customers from buying its coveted Birkins
“The cost is the actual price of making an object properly with the required level of attention so that you have an object of quality,” Dumas said in a recent segment of“Expensive is a product, which is not delivering what it’s supposed to deliver, but you’ve paid quite a large amount of money for it, and then it betrays you. That’s expensive.”Hermès Birkin bags seem nearly impossible to find — and the brand’s creative director has revealed the reason why after years of speculation.
Dumas likened the business to “an old lady with startup issues,” saying that the only way to match the brand’s rapid growth in such a short period of time is to train more people.CBS reported that the Birkin, named after the late actress and singer, retails for an average of $9,000 if bought directly from Hermès.
CBS spoke with one artisan named Amandine, who was completing a Kelly, one of the most difficult Hermès handbags to make with four hours dedicated just to the handle, the outlet reported.The bags are meticulously crafted by hand at one of the brand’s workshops in France, where highly skilled artisans stitch the pieces of leather craftsmanship.“We’re about craft. We’re not machines,” said Dumas, encouraging prospective customers to practice patience.
