They’re produced in China. Then marked up.

Yes, that affects probably 75% of FReeper women but what about the average people? 😉

[lee martell]

That’s a very modest price increase, maybe due to basic inflation, vs tariffs.

If I had a billion dollars , and was a woman , I would not spend more than a couple hundred dollars on a handbag . WTF are these people who do ? Insane !

"They’re produced in China. Then marked up."

If ladies knew this, would the still buy them?

Perhaps they do not care if they are made in turd-world hellholes, as long as they say Hermes on them.

[Telepathic Intruder]

What sort of miles per gallon do those handbags get?

[Jyotishi]

“what about the average people? 😉”

My chauffeur may buy a couple for his wife. 😉

[Cold Heart]

They are made in Paris.

I went to their website and you can get what looks like a $20 shopping bag for $4000.

The Spousal Unit likes to watch YouTube videos of Milan Fashion.

The idle rich parade in the fashion area with the latest and some times wild fashion. She always notes “See that bag? You have to be “selected” to buy one and if you do, you are talking $50,000”.

I told her that Trump has priced her out of the Hermes market and she is pouting (wink)

[yldstrk]

Freeper women aren’t stupid enough to buy Hermes.

[frank ballenger]

Ha. I’m glad you haven’t lost the common touch. You care about the servants.

[wardaddy]

That vid was fabricated bullshit

Made in France

Man it’s crazy how lies take off isn’t it

Not your fault

[logi_cal869]

Yes, this is going to be a painful price increase

Uh-huh. /s

[wardaddy]

Made in France

Trust me

Not that I’ve bought one

[frank ballenger]

Thank goodness they know I was joking.

I did hear today that Rev. Al Sharpton’s watch cost $35,000.

[dp0622]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:)

[FreedomPoster]

I’m sure your average big Chinatown can come up with an illegal knockoff if you look hard enough.

[yldstrk]

Well he got ripped off.

[wardaddy]

It’s not authentic
Google it

Talk radio ran with that fake vid two days ago

Sorry

Like I said I don’t blame folks for believing what they want to believe is true

Stupid people buy legit hermes bags for 50k made in china that cost 2000

Except its a lie

And I hate to be Danny downer here but conservatism is about truth

Even truth about status items

No I’ve never bought one
