Why Hermès Is Growing While LVMH And Gucci Decline

[@Huriel97]

Basically Hermes stayed true to itself as a luxury brand while the others tried to tap on the fast-fashion market with "luxury for poors" products

Pretty much. I was flying to Japan earlier this year a bunch of people in economy carried LVMH bags in my flights lol

Hermes is the real deal, and I'm definitely planning to own one soon! Unrelated, but et’s say you came into some extra funds and bought a Hermes bag worth 20k, how much could you sell it for in two years if you needed the cash? Do they appreciate in value over time, or do they lose worth?"

[@dannywalters958]

If this is one of your fears/reasons for buying one, you might want to reconsider and put your money into stocks or another solid investment instead. With the right F.A or by choosing the right investments, you could potentially be able to afford a better bag without the worry of going broke in the near future. I say this from experience, having been in your shoes before. Goodluck!

[@LuxAudio389]

I'm interested to see what comes out of the Antitrust lawsuit. Because every luxury brand requires a buyer to have a substantial purchase history in order to get an allocation for an exclusive model. I think Ferrari was the first manufacturer to do this. Now Porsche, McLaren, Bugatti, and even Rolex practice the same buisness model with their limited edition cars. You have to be invited to buy one and are restricted to selling it for a moment in time after taking delivery, or else you loose your relationship with the brand.

[@LeoJacobschild]

Me too because this decision could spill over to the other markets you listed.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

Same. I think that Hermes can still keep certain *Birkin* bags that are made w/ finer materials & jewels exclusive. Then, have a tier system depending on the MSRP of the bag & potential resale value. One tier could be the cheaper bags they could sell to all, but the second & third could be more & most exclusive respectively. Idk just a thought 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@KlemienForrai]

Interestingly, many wealthy women wear Super-Fakes! *jklux* I mean think about it...if Kardashian were wearing Birkenstocks, you would never question whether it was real or fake!

[@LillyFort]

[@ra7008]

The downside to the "exclusivity" of Hermes is the resale market making a lot more from the original price of the bag vs whats its actually worth.

[@LeoJacobschild]

I wouldn’t say more expensive. Because Hermes policy is that you have to spend a certain amount (5-6 figures) in other products you really don’t want first in order to earn the privilege to purchase the 5 figure bag you really want. The resale market solves a problem for the consumer by letting them skip that unnecessary process. The premium is added to the bag itself so once you spend $50,000 in junk to purchase a $25,000 purse at Hermes. The resale market for the bag maybe $35,000-$45,000 and you get the bag at the time of purchase.

Fun fact: LVMH is the source of exotic skins for Hermes… and LVMH keeps the best skins for their bespoke capucine and city steamer handbag lines and gives the inferior skins to Hermes for the Kelly and Birkin. Hence, you are paying nearly 10-20x the price for an inferior product that says “Birkin” on it compared to the bespoke order you can get from LVMH that is much higher quality. And less hoops to go through. One instance where quality is not correlated to price. Once more individuals realize this the margins on LV bespoke handbags will soar. The wealthy are realizing this and beginning to load up on bespoke city steamers and capucines now. But they do take about 12-18mths to be made. But well worth it from a value maintenance perspective if you are using the bags to diversify your hard assets.

These veiled “ray-cist” comments trying to blame “rappers” for the downfall of these high end brands is WILD. Rappers have been talking about luxury brands since the inception of the music genre… yall so crass. Bottom line: these luxury brands was a victim of their own downfall- not only have they raised their prices to extortionate levels , but their quality does NOT reflect the prices they are upcharging consumers for. They have taken the fast-fashion approach with their greed and are simply over exposed. Social media is a significant contributor to their level of exposure, NOT rappers 😒… you have a new generation of people ready and willing to share their luxury experiences and what’s the “hottest” items to get. Minimal advertisement is needed from these brands because people willingly show it off for free. We as consumers, are the ones dictating what are seen as “status symbols” if we are really being honest. Hermes might be thriving right now, but they too won’t be immune to their over exposure. Their current business model will only last for so long, given that they are going through a lawsuit and people are aware of the “Hermes game”… the only thing that’s keeping Hermes afloat is that they still keep their quality to a much higher standard. You can at least say you have a handmade piece with premium materials- something many of their competitors barely offers these days. But we will see how sustainable their growth is in the future. People’s tastes and preferences change over time and we have a lot of economic uncertainty- priorities will look different.

You're confused, and triggered. It is 100% true that having your brand associated with rappers and low quality populations in general is a death sentence. These people are incapable of building a middle class for themselves, so they're not even customers (besides fakes) which just dilutes the brand even more. I have no idea what Bernard Arnault was thinking, but the direction Vuitton is taking is not a luxury one. Pandering to these people never ends up well. In the 90's early 2000's in France, those "populations" almost killed the brand semi-luxury brand Lacoste who almost never recovered. Gucci is a perfect example of that. If I was Francois-Henry Pinault, I would sue those rappers out of existence for even mentioning my brand.

Extortionate prices. Luxury stores don't want high traffic. They want the top 10% of earners as loyal customers which is far larger than famous folks.

The same happens with Porsche's limited GT models.

This is why the elite stick to Chanel and Hermes (yes, still Chanel). Both are still privately owned. The issue with Chanel, is the quality has been reducing over the years and they produce a ridiculous amount, its too easy to get it. Scarcity = more of an investment if you resale. Vintage Chanel is better, buying Hermes directly from the store is better.

It's one thing to spend a lot of money to have a nice thing that's beautiful and/or exceptionally well made. I don't know if a Birkin bag is significantly better than a $400 leather bag. Then there's flaunting wealth. That only works if other people recognize the expensive object. Aside from snooty shop assistants and the handbag cognoscenti, I suspect even most women don't, which is why other luxury brands are obsessed with ostentatiously puttiing their logo all over multiple product lines. If you like the look or the logo, buy a good knockoff and give half the money you saved to charity.
