When I left Zara a year ago, I already saw the new line up of brands that were to be released here in the Philippines. On top of the list was Hermes. Yes, the luxury store that creates one of the most sought after bags in the world: The Birkin.
I was surprised that it took more than a year for Store Specialists Inc. to actually create the store itself. The site is the on Greenbelt 3. I think that was what used to Max Brenner. Maybe they chose that since Hermes did not get a prime location in the newly opened Greenbelt 5. Think Balenciaga's location.
For a third world country to actually have an Hermes store, that is kinda sick. In good way. Imagine millions of poor people without anything to eat and then some rich lady or gay guy walks in Hermes and leaves with a P500,000 Birkin (assuming there is no waiting list). And yep, it can go as high as that.
Life was never fair.
If I had the money, I'd definitely get a Birkin for myself.
