The Hermes family moved to France in 1828 not 1928, Thierry Hermes would have been 127 yrs old in 1928 not 27 and you have a few inconsistencies with dates and years.

[@contradicsean]

What shoddy editing they got

[@docride2705]

Correct

[@anubisanubis9859]

I just get lost in those years...i coudnt figure out nothing 🤣🤣

[@aris.koutsoupias]

Thierry is Highlander 😀

[@Glenonica1]

And poor pronunciations as well

[@glindathegood4007]

Let's just put it this way, My Mum's Kelly bag, saved my butt! I needed $$$$ to leave a bad Situation, Took the Kelly bag w/original receipt to a fine goods auction, the bag brought in enough $$$$ so I could leave and get into a new residence, with a large enough cushion till I found a decent job.

[@phylis3917]

Happened to me too. Found vintage Chanel jacket worth a fortune.

[@Calinotch06]

The first purse I fell in love with was made by Hermes, don't recall the name (circa 2002, I was a freshman in college). Then I saw the price and said when I get older I will get one. 2022 and I still can't afford one.

[@michellehurst3818]

Some of us would never pay the prices for a handbag even if we had the money for it!! I don’t spend tons of money on luxury items because I rather invest in other things!!

Thank you. Informative with simplicity covering everything.

Good grief, the narrator could do with an emergency crash-course in French pronunciation - lol.

The worse French pronunciation ever!!

They may not be a conglomerate in the same way as LVMH but they do own John Lobb, St Louis crystal and Puiforcat tableware.

[@DeKat-84]

And also Le Crin.

[@debraturner4559]

For sure I admire the quality which has never slipped (like unfortunately, Chanel has) and that the bags continue to be handmade. Fabulous! The family Hermes worked hard for their success and offers an enduring purse. That said, I so dislike the strategy of making the bags exclusive and driving the price up to ultra-expensive that I'll never buy one. I would never drop that much money for one handbag, not to mention, be suckered into spending $1000s on prior goods just to be offered "the chance" of spending a ton of money on a company-created-and-by-design scarce Birkin. I only patronize businesses that treat everyone who walks in the door with friendliness and respect and let them have what they saved up their money and entered the store to buy. Period.

[@nikitadewar3704]

It's really sad. I make 'handmade crochet bags' and I sell one for like $120 US and I always feel bad because I think it's expensive. I would really like for all women to be able to purchase one but not everyone can afford them. Now, Hermes makes me feel good about my prices now... I guess

[@debraturner4559]

@@nikitadewar3704 It's lovely you care. At your price is something an average person with a job can save up to buy and since you care about your customers, I bet your bags last a long time.

[@nikitadewar3704]

@@debraturner4559 thank you! I do care. I try my very best to have superb quality.

[@elenarodova3003]

With years, i more appreciate Chanel than Hermes

[@LanaLeon]

Rich people need brands like this one so they can show their status. You can't afford it, you're not part of them. That's the point.

[@veronicavids]

I don't think any high end fashion brand should be using low quality materials. Happy to see one still prioritizing craftsmanship and quality

[@edithharmer1326]

Beautiful Products! Quality, Designs and durability! Amazing.

[@ilovecake1980]

I first fell in love with brand because of the terre d'hermes EDT perfume! Wow...the sexiness of woody spices really brings out the success men! Love it...

[@monatell2531]

It’s a shame that currently , they are very rude to customers! I was at Harrods this summer, I wanted to buy a belt, which was there in front of me, the Hermes representative told me off and said I need to give him my phone number and they’ll call me in an hour to be attended too!!!! Really, I told him thanks but no thanks, I went to Valentino got a nicer belt (same price as the Hermes) but much much nicer customer treatment.

[@TheOfficialTarynTots]

Their quality has been slipping too in recent years and their sales people are still not very friendly.

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

Amazing Generational History and Creativity !

What I have learnt from this video? That people will spend 1m on a handbag

[@darnagutter863]

Love the Hermes fragrances!

[@Daized2009]

My wife won’t use hers in public for fear of someone cutting her hand off.

[@face-in-the-crowd]

So what's the point?

[@ConstantlyRepeatingMyself]

I agree with your wife. I have 5 and I've used them a few times over the last 12 years. Now they just sit on my shelf to be gazed upon. I use my Evelyne bags every day. They are more practical anyway.

As with businesses that experience growth and ride out decline to grow again I would say, even if there are others doing what you can do make sure you do better and always have that one unique twist that only you can do.

Tôi rất thích thương hiệu này

[@kristin_NZ]

I have some scarves.... love them

[@realshaho3180]

This video shows a laziness in editing, pronunciation, and fact-checking. The date you presented, "1928" for when the Hermès family moved to France is incorrect. They moved to France in 1828; 100 years earlier. If you are going to post videos that are meant to be biographical, please at least do the bare minimum in getting the dates correct. On pronunciation, no one is expecting you to suddenly become fluent in French, but a quick google or KZbin pronunciation reference would've helped.

[@vivibuffy3352]

The voice is obviously A.I. though.

[@valerief1231]

Thierry Hermes …🐎 🦈💫

[@Kolious_Thrace]

Versace -> Hellenic symbol, Medusa’s head Hermes -> Hellenic name, the messenger God Ερμής / Ermís > Hermes You should do a video about another jewellery brand, BVLGARI. The founder Sotirios Vùlgaris was an immigrant from Hellas to Italy. His name is pronounced Vùlgaris so the brand name must be pronounced as Vùlgari and not Bulgári.

[@queenb5411]

Interesting!

[@mayinchan6602]

it would sound a lot better if you can pronounce the french words correctly .. thanks for the stories 😎

[@North_York]

I guess someone who is born in 1801 and moves to Paris in 1928. So, the boy Hermes was 127 when he moved to Paris and then 3 years later they got their first child. It is very easy to detect that something is wrong in the story!!!

[@c.l.9344]

Very inspiring. 👜🐎🤎🧡

[@vashtipersad2738]

So just asking when you pay $10 :000 dollars for a bag what you going to put in it ? Newspaper or you will just walk around with it empty all day advertising that you are the owner of a very expensive bag .I guess you never or read Steve Jobs obituary about the value of live compare to material things .

[@moonshineyogi933]

I get your point and it should be that way. But when spending 10k on a bag is like spending $10 for normal people, why not? It’s part of enjoying life while your living.

[@lauriejordan2716]

I think you accidentally edited an important part out. You suddenly said that the house changed hands once again and went back to the family. You never told us that it left the family. When did they sell it? Who did they sell it to?

[@mrpeel3239]

He moved to Paris in 1928 (at the age of 127) “In 1883 he established….” Shows 1837! Then shows wrong bags. Wrong pronunciations… Needs some proofreading for sure!:)

I couldn’t watch this video anymore after the second date mistake was made only 1 min and 30 seconds in. First the 1828/1928 mistake then at 1:30 saying “1883” when the date shown is 1837. This needed more review before posting.

You kno the narrator is a heterosexual bcuz of his fashion pronunciations lmaoooooo

Ok i can walk into Armani, Versace, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, Ferragamo, Calvin, Lauren, Celine, Balenciaga, Escada, Chanel, I can even shop at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Barney's, Bergdorf's, but to walk inside a Hermes store is something i rarely do. The moment i can always afford clothing as a man from that store is the day the world will be rid of Climate change.

[@laara1426]

The women were not in the businesses because..?

[@North_York]

The narrator doesn't know how to pronounce the French words. In this world where the Google has advanced so much the Google Translate, it only takes a few second to learn a new word in a new language. How dare people keep saying things in their own wrong way whereas the audiance is not being respected and taken for a fool! Such a shame! So many errors in a short almost 12 minute KZbin video. Some quality control would be appreciated!

It doesn't matter where they are made. This depends on the skill of the craftsman and the choice of materials. My friends and I have been buying bags from H Q D U P S and have never been disappointed.
