UNBOXING MY FIRST HERMES BAG!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!! THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!

UNBOXING MY FIRST HERMES BAG!! I can't believe what happened!! This could happen to you!! After 10 plus years of blogging and also working for myself, I decided to finally get an Hermes Kelly for my 10+ year milestone. I have wanted an Hermes Kelly for years and finally bit the bullet but the how to get an Hermes Kelly process always put me off. I’ve seen lots of videos on how to get a Birkin bag and and how to get an Hermes bag in general and it’s always really hard work but this is my personal experience which I'm still shocked about.
This is no luxury bag collection video and it's not a best and worst designer bags video. It's a straight up account of my experience. It's a story time video with my Hermes bag unboxing. There is a mini Hermes Kelly bag review as well. Should I do a luxury bag collection video or a thrift and vintage bag collection video one day? You know I still am about my high and my low bags all the way. Always was, always will be! Next video maybe how to look chic in the cold? or do a Spring trends 2021 video instead?

[@KarenBritChick]

Hi my lovelies!! After 10 plus years since I started my fashion blog and working for myself, I decided to acknowledge this milestone with an Hermes bag. Comment below with if you can figure out why they even let me get one. I've heard so many horror stories of the months long world wide waiting lists and constant rejections. How come Hermes gave it to me then??

[@abeach5420]

🤔 Not one to be at a loss for words for 'my' Karen😁 & your superb content, but alas I am. Just want to congratulate 'you' on all your immense hard work & getting 'da coin' that you deserve through doing so. I just am not that kinda high brow gal I guess. Oh and that one bag could legit secure me A LOT of horses... w/h *FOUR legs* 🐎 hehe.

Walked into a Hermes Store in Copenhagen with a dear friend to admire the scarves. Explained we didn't want to buy ( can't afford yet!) but wanted to look at their beauty and design. The SA was so lovely and told us so much about the artists behind the scarves etc. We were joined by another SA and spent many minutes chatting. As we left without buying anything we were both handed a goody bag! We were honest and real- I guess you got your bag because you were honest and real too. It's a special memory.

[@prepperpatty199]

Kay O'Brien : What was in the goodie bag may I ask? Sounds like you and your friend had a great time.

[@locostasia]

What was in the hoodie bag if you didn’t mind me asking

[@Greatsoprano12]

You got the bag because you are a confident, attractive, well spoken and lovely woman who knew what she wanted and the SA fell in love with you. Really enjoyed this video.

[@basicbaroque]

I love stories like this! Not that I ever wanted an Hermes bag, but just seeing hard working people, getting the things they have dreamed of for so long. ❤️

[@louise-yo7kz]

[@mel5929]

I'm glad that you got a bag that you love, but the idea of a brand making their products unnecessarily difficult to buy is just bullshit.

[@luxaholicanonymous2577]

Not really! Birkins/Kellys are the most expensive bags in the world. If they over saturate the market their “exclusivity” status goes down.

[@joniheisenberg6691]

[@sfjayhawk5810]

But the amount of “content creators” easily getting their hands on these “elusive” bags is kind of killing the allure. I am not talking about Karen (I love her!) but so many others who have recently done unboxings has made me (and others) start feeling a bit less enthused about the brand.

[@luxaholicanonymous2577]

[@reneehampton7665]

I think we give Hermes too much ... I don’t know what to call it. It is a beautiful bag, but if you have the money to purchase it, you shouldn’t have to feel like Hermes did you a favor. You did them a favor. You spent your money. Hermes need to be made to understand that.

[@kerriewilliams8321]

Yeah complete agree, they’re beautiful but to make you think they’re doing you a favour after you’ve spent $$$$$$$, gimme a break!

[@jenison2985]

I so agree with you!! 💯

[@annamessini2555]

I totally agree with you. I understand the value of a good iconic design but i really don't get the attitude. They should not be acting as if they are selling limited edition cancer cure vials. It is just a thing in the end of the day. A beautiful thing but still a thing.

[@evadburns]

They did her a favor. lol. Because in five years time Karen will sell the bag double what she paid for it. lol. Plus she did not have to pay the astronomical price of second hand market. I know what you mean.

[@JOURNEysofab1]

This video is bringing me to tears, not because of the bag (which is a beauty), but because of the true message behind it.....”be yourself” and “manifestations.” Thank you for this reminder to stay focus and stay true to myself. 🌻

[@natasha03.]

Congratulations!!! Regarding dressing well to designer stores or appointments, I used to work at Harrods in Knightsbridge and they teach sales assistants to never judge anyone. Can’t say all the S.A’s act that way but, a lot of very rich people don’t even dress up when they go shopping. They walk around in sweats. So never feel embarrassed at these designer stores, they don’t know your bank account! Have fun and enjoy browsing if you can’t afford just yet ❤️❤️

[@sunburn1013]

Natasha I was treated like royalty in an LV boutique a few years ago. I was awed at the SA’s knowledge of the brand heritage. That experience has ruined me for all other boutique experiences though!

[@KarenBritChick]

I agree to not need to dress up. I deliberately DIDN'T wear visible logos and just had on what you saw in the video: thrifted mens coat with black underneath with Zara boots that the Hermes SA really loved LOL! It's about YOU as a person I reckon? Regardless of what you wear.

[@natasha03.]

@@KarenBritChick yes most likely! Confidence is key 😄 It would be interesting to hear from someone who is or has been a Hermes SA as the whole process of getting one sounds crazy!

[@FYPNLP]

Agreed. Some the friendliest service I ever received was when I went to the Jimmy Choo store. Super nice lady, very knowledgeable and frankly couldn't do enough for me. when I was there. Made the whole experience a pleasure. I liked her so much I went back and brought some more shoes a few weeks later.

[@AthynVixen]

Interesting because whenever I go into designer stores I always get glared at tho I have the money to buy things in there despite not being rich. The snobbery disgusts me.Fashion and style should be for everyone

[@samsungtv7924]

I feel like the Hermes bag scarcity is a but of a gimmick to fabricate demand...I don't know...and if so it clearly works because it makes people think they have something rare

[@mr_credentials]

Exactly, anyone with money can get an Hermes. If they were so rare they would be produced on order only, just like Ferraris.

[@anapark345]

same goes for Rolex, Patek Phillipe, Richard Mille, certain Louis Vuitton pieces, certain Chanel pieces, etc. Luxury is all about scarcity.

[@MercyandAgape]

Exactly! Scarcity is the strategy for high value status.

[@butterflyeyes399]

If I had that type of money I would get one custom made to my liking...but not referring to Hermès...more so for any handbag designer. At least it would be more to my taste, unique, and I had more involvement in selecting the items for it. Hermès is too hyped up just like any other luxury brand in my opinion.

[@ElleEasternSuburbsMum]

It takes a whole day to make one Kelly and two days to make a birkin. They are handcrafted in France and are incredible quality. They can’t just mass produce them to sell to anyone that wants one

[@sue9001]

The SA is your fan and if there’s anyone who can make Hermès look young and hip and cool, it’s you.

I can’t afford an Hermès, but I love the look of their bags and I enjoy your work, so this vlog was the perfect synthesis without excluding your viewers. Congratulations on being at this joyful point in your life and thank you for showing us how our good days can lift each other up!

[@Rashmibhattachan]

I agree. Karen is the real vlogger. No airs, no pretentions and that's what I admire about this Influencer. Went inside with one goal and (not to buy several items before being handed the actual bag) came out accomplishing that goal! I think everyone who goes to Hermes should do the same IF they really want only the bag.

[@ShuvaiAprilzw]

Karen I'm just so ecstatic, I started watching your channel in 2014 and I cant even mentally comprehend how much of a reward it is to finally have a Hermes bag in your collection. You are truly passionate about fashion and you deserve all the little pleasures life is affording you now. Keep them coming

[@charlotte2542]

This was so wonderful to watch - I especially loved your husband’s sweet expression of support at the end. Congratulations!🎉

[@lisahumphries3898]

Beautiful bag! I love the contrast stitching. It makes me sad that Hermes insists that you purchase additional items. Just so you know, that’s illegal in the US. It’s called bundling. When a company knows you want product “A” and they say, we’ll you can buy A, but you also have to buy product “B”. If you were forced to buy B to get A, that’s illegal. However, BOTH are beautiful!

[@cynthialawlor2420]

Karen, I believe you are more famous and well known than you realize. I think you got the bag, because they know you are so loved on social media. You have cornered a niche in fashion and there are many people who know your work. Your channel is absolutely one of the best this genre has to offer. I get this wonderful feeling of escape into the world of fashion , unlike any of the others. I literally hate it when your videos end and come the next Friday, I’m waiting to have a nice sit-down with the girl I love and to pour-over every detail you bring to your channel. Honestly, I think they know who you are and have the utmost respect for your work. You had to make an appointment and I bet “dollars to donuts” they Googled your name. You had that bag way before you got to their store. I’d bet money on my theory. Bravo, my dear...I’m so very happy for you and I look forward to seeing you using this gorgeous bag in upcoming videos. You Rock! Lol P.S. How it happened does not remove manifestation from the equation. There are (were) steps to all destinies, so I do believe in Manifestation of our dreams and desires and I do believe it’s a big part of your life story, to include getting your beautiful bag. 😊

A dear friend of mine, a WOC, very successful - went into the Hermes store in London. She wanted to purchase a scarf for herself as a reward for getting a large promotion. She was told, and I quote, "I cannot sell you anything as you cannot afford anything we sell". No kidding, that's what she was told. She turned on her heel and left the store, outraged. But she felt her choice was to either argue and try to "prove" herself or spend her money elsewhere. I am so happy for you Karen, but I have no time for that nonsense.

[@sharonerenaldo3466]

It was already there waiting for you. I truly" Believe" that whatever God has for you will be yours. Wear your bag in Good Health. Congratulations Karen.

i'm seeing a lot of bloggers getting their first hermes bags now with no history or anything. i think the pandemic slowed hermes sales so they're getting it back out into the public via influencers... Congrats to you! i'll covet from nj lol

100!!!

[@goldenxdiva6562]

I highly suspect that a lot of the influencers you’re seeing purchasing these, are buying very good and expensive dupes. I trust Karen and don’t think she’d lie to us, but some other influencers i do look at sideways. I used to work in big magazines and a lot of editors who were still lower on the editor tier (so they weren’t getting all the amazing free pr stuff) but still wanted to flex like they would get insane dupes. The dupes aren’t cheap either, some can go for $2k-$3k which is expensive but compared to an actual Kelly bag is pocket change, and i think they’re passing it off as real

[@theglowup9623]

@@goldenxdiva6562 see I personally think the pandemic has also hit them hard. They need to meet sales targets so granting wishes, especially if you’re an influencer, is the easiest way to do that without damaging their reputation by doing things like pr packages or sales or uploading their bags online. No one could ever walk into the store and get a black or gold birkin off the bat it was months at the very least unless you were rich as fuck before the pandemic

[@leesimone2]

That's possible...good business strategy!

[@salmashalaby528]

How quota bags are produced and distributed among the boutiques would make it next to impossible that Hermès ends up with a number of Kellys or Birkins lying around unwanted, even with the pandemic (each season’s POs have been placed in the previous Feb and July, which means Karen’s bag has been ordered by the boutique and approved by Paris way after the pandemic hit.. not sure if that makes sense but the whole PO process is very calculated and straightforward for the specific reason of always keeping the supply much lower than the demand to maintain exclusivity - in short: no boutique can get more quota bags than it could sell). The story of walking into a boutique for the first time and leaving with a K or B isn’t new at all, it’s actually factored into each boutique’s quota for when the store manager decides to “fulfill the wish” of a lucky walk-in client who genuinely seems passionate about the Maison; it’s happened to at least 7 people I know - long before the influencer world was even a thing. What’s different now is that a lot of those passionate walk-ins are people who have a platform where they can tell the story, therefore the odds are much higher for an influencer to get offered a B or K and tell the story on YT, which in turn has lately snowballed and generated more interest in Hermès among influencers who haven’t even considered it or thought it attainable before.

Yes to contrasting stitch! I just bought the same color bag (from another luxury brand) with contrasting stitching too. Absolutely love it. Enjoy your special purchase and congrats on reaching this special milestone!

So happy for you Karen 😍 this bag is just so you! I can see you styling it a million and one ways ❤️

[@vdu30]

She is a beauty! So happy for you 💓

[@gerrysherry1836]

I believe in my humble opinion that you got the bag "easily" due to the fact that nobody really have a lot of money to spare to buy this expensive bag because half of the people in America are unemployed and no one needs to shop luxuriously (I think?lol). Karen I love your KZbin channel you always made my day.. most of all I love your STYLE!!!! I will keep and continue watching your channel.

Yep, a lot of us are broke....but many are NOT, and can afford it...but agree sure sales have leveled off....because we are are primarily at home...so what’s the point...in Karen’s case ...she celebrated a milestones!

I'm soooooo happy for you ❤️❤️❤️ How did you get it? Well, if I were an SA, I would definitely offer you one. You're a walking ad for them! Sophisticated, eclectic, hella interesting. They are rebranding themselves as the current luxury choice for the crowd in the know, instead of an impenetrable haven for the ultra-rich.

Congratulations Karen, it is gorgeous!!!! i understand your comments on downsizing, as soon as I had mine, a vintage one, i started downsizing as for me it was the ultimate one; my bag collection went from really large to 7 !! hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Hermes associates have always been very sweet and helpful with me but it is true that for the Kelly they told me they will need to order it and waiting list was up till 18months;

[@inthanontiyajamorn8519]

Congratulations, Karen! That's gorgeous! Love the color, hardware, size, and sellier.
