Who Gets to Buy Birkin Bag?
Unlike regular or even luxury fashion stores where customers can simply walk in, pick a product, and leave happy, Hermès works differently. Many of their bags are almost never sold in stores; some are not even displayed in their stores. Some bags are allocated through waitlists, as seen in the Sex and the City video below; some are offered at the discretion of the sales associates; and a few are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. While clients can register their preferences, they do not always get to choose the style or colour of the bag. And, of course, purchasing a Birkin requires approval from the brand itself.
