Hermès and the success of the coveted Birkin bag | 60 Minutes

[@Novilicious]

“We’re about craft; not machines” --What an idea!! Wish more companies were like this

[@pasnaip6381]

only bags are made by hands. every other leather goods at Hermes are made by machine

[@oama2009]

6:16 😂”I have children too”

[@shanecoleman7114]

Yeah I caught that part too. I don't think she did though honestly lol 😂

[@margieerwin5798]

Beautiful work for those who can afford it. It’s an art form, and like art, it should not be rushed.

[@pasnaip6381]

yet in recent years we have heard more and more from long term customer complaints about how the quality at Hermes is dropping on Purseforum

[@lm4836]

Love his philosophy about craft. As a Chef in America, I wish the younger generations would put away their mobile devices and Bluetooth speakers and focus on craft and quality.

[@brandonsteele2826]

I wish i could work at a place like that. One where quality is the goal, not speed. Every job I've worked at pushes workers to take shortcuts to get done quicker.

[@SeanOHanlon]

Don't just wish for it. Find companies with a similar philosophy and hound them until they finally hire you. The real secret to success in life: Write down your goals with deadlines and pursue them with passion.

[@mattk1631]

How lucky Hermes is to get a free 13 minute commerical.

[@SeanOHanlon]

Who said it was luck? 😉

[@xskrym]

They don't need it.

[@skizztrizz4453]

I was upset that I forgot my grocery bags and had to pay 50 cents each.🤔🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@DontCallMePetar]

I loved this, honestly. Finally, a popular brand who just WON'T compromise the quality of their product. Just look around you, everything is becoming so much worse because of the fast pace we introduced to ourselves. Not just things, but relationships between people, nothing is valued anymore and no one wants to take time for anything that is not money related.

[@sarahann7668]

@@DontCallMePetar these purses cost a million dollars lol

[@johnreynolds5407]

Dumas is wise. The questions of the journalist are child-like.

[@ButterflyHideLeatherworks]

I love the philosophy! He is 100 percent right

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

Love my Hermés ties and polo shirts 🤩🤩🤩😌😌😌🤠👍

[@leighewinson9473]

Birkin bags are nice bag but the cost is ridiculous..it's just a disgusting way for ppl. to show their wealth.

[@jusadude7162]

The Hermés craftswoman wearing a Levis T-shirt sewing $10k Birkin Bag 🤣

[@marymezsserwanga]

The craft is what makes their bags one of a kind!

[@Bunnyacj]

11:19 I love her necklace ❤

[@MichaelChengSanJose]

Japan has the same drive for slow perfection but most of their crafts are not popular in the west. Unfortunately, that means many crafts are being lost to time.

[@2Burgers_1Pizza]

Good for them. If any1 wants cheaper or mass-produced handbags, there are plenty of options. Can't have everything be a race to the bottom. A single sale of one of these could support a worker for a year, and with the training and craftsmanship that goes into it, it better. This is healthy for small scale high-end productions. Costly but not expensive is right.

[@ozwomanid57]

Love Luxury sells beautiful Hermès Bags❤❤

[@betsyavallone4314]

With Hermes you do get the quality. Brands like Channel, & Louis Vuitton, the quality has gone down. As the prices go up. FYI- you can take your Hermes leather goods to the Hermes spa. They will repair your item.

[@timliddy1]

Michelangelo, I want a sculpture and I want it next month. Now, get to work right now or I’m going to cry!

[@Jthegreat84]

Cardi B has over 100 Birkin bags!

[@Johnonayacht]

I can't imagine having such a fragile ego that I would need to buy this or many other luxury items.

[@ModernConversations]

Dumas has a very impoverished vocabulary based on that.

[@sarahann7668]

People are dying Kim 🙄 I could never spend this much on a purse, gross.

[@Waffleheadme]

Was that a dig at Chanel?🤣

[@BR-th4tb]

He did lie about his father sketching the birkin while seated next to Jane. Re sketching the HAC is more like it.

[@xxxyyy8536]

5 years to wait is very long

[@ruzzelladrian907]

What I want is an Hermés couch.

[@dougcargill6730]

You can get one. Hermés makes furniture. Their sectional costs $83,000. An old boss of mine had Hermés ‘dining’ chairs (Chiase Sellier) in his office that run $12,000.

[@ryanpierce7694]

6:07 I guess patience is French for spending six figures

[@SeanOHanlon]

👏👏👏

[@matteogottie6772]

That's why Nike allow resellers because people buy it all up put it in warehouses make it like it's a more of a demand and then double the price it's crazy

[@DustinEvans1966]

Glad they haven't sold out to lvmh.

[@romybrater1353]

Funny thing, the bag shown on the back of the presenter is a Kelly, not a Birkin 😂

[@shanecoleman7114]

Okay? And? Lol 😂 what's it matter in the end!?

[@KESHRENEE]

❤

[@jusadude7162]

Paying that much for a purse is disgusting.

[@azambresonia5056]

Danke Team 60 Minutes.

[@catherineedwards8762]

These are just bags.

[@timliddy1]

Yes, and a Ferrari 365 P Berlinetti is just a car.

[@timliddy1]

btw, I’m not a bag enthusiast. I’m ok with an REI backpack. But, if I had the wealth and wanted a purse or bag that was not only utilitarian but a piece of extremely craftsmanship that can be passed down to the next five generations, I’d probably buy one of these.

[@LexyTheEbikeQueen]

I wouldn’t sell the people who sued nothing ugh so annoying

[@jeanetmena8458]

That's for the rich only 😅

[@callicordova4066]

For those dumb enough to pay that much money.

[@RanmaSyaoranSaotome]

Was this really worth a documentary? It's nothing more than an advertisement.

[@nultari1]

Does lil baby actually buy his girlfriends a birkin or is that a lie since they’re so scarce

[@dubbtrack]

Why did they send this person, she has zero class and asking questions that just reflect the ignorance of America in full glory. Hopefully he put her on the black list....

[@Nordic_Sky]

Hermes deliberately underproduces its most in-demand items in order to generate hype. This strategy has been adopted by other luxury goods companies, including Porsche, Ferrari, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. It is extremely cynical and makes customers hate the brand. You are being played. Just say no.

[@franko8572]

I have one.

[@lolotracteur]

His desk is absolutely beautiful😍

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

That's one ugly handbag

[@CoutureGP]

But you CAN have it now: The Real Real and Vestiaire resell the bags for a more sustainable option✨💁🏼‍♀️

[@eddieg6436]

…….Walk around West L.A., from Beverly Hills to Malibu….Birken bags are as COMMON as Ford pickups in Texas or Montana. …..they lose their “specialness”.

[@scrubz.n.squatz2495]

It amazes me the things humans look at as important.

[@teddytheodoris6778]

I agree. Pathetic

[@joshuat5874]

top 10 most pointless 60 minute segments.

[@KingKoin88]

They just didn’t want to train millions of workers in Asia n Africa, protect the margin n French jobs

[@tootalls82]

Got 3 I bought for my ex. For sale lol

[@CWalthallBrand]

Where are you selling them?😁
