Well, from what I’m seeing around the internet, it’s all about craftsmanship. That’s the buzzword, isn’t it? “Artisanal craftsmanship.” Sounds fancy, and tbh, it probably *is* fancy when you’re talking about people hand-stitching some cashmere scarf that costs more than my rent. Apparently, they’re all about blending old-school techniques with new designs, which… okay, sounds good in theory. I guess that’s why they can charge so much.
And the materials! Natural materials are a big thing. T-shirts, trench coats, dresses… everything is supposed to be all comfy and natural. I saw something about colorful prints too. Which, yeah, I’ve seen some Hermes stuff that’s definitely… bold. Like, “I’m rich and I’m not afraid to show it” bold.
One thing I always find interesting is how brands try to “reinvent the essentials.” Like, a t-shirt is a t-shirt, right? But somehow Hermes makes it into a “magnetic women’s essential.” Marketing, gotta love it.
Honestly, browsing these sites, I kinda get it. They’re not just selling clothes; they’re selling an *image*. A lifestyle. The “I casually own a horse and vacation in the South of France” lifestyle. Which, let’s be real, is probably not *my* life anytime soon.
And the thing is… I can see why people buy it. I mean, who wouldn’t want a dress that makes you feel like a million bucks? Or a scarf that’s so soft you could sleep in it? Okay, maybe not *sleep* in it, considering the price tag.
Plus, it’s not just about showing off, right? It’s about appreciating quality. A well-made piece of clothing can last for years, even decades. So, maybe, just maybe, it’s an investment? (Okay, probably not, let’s be honest. Still an investment in looking *fabulous* though).
