Well, well, well, lookie here! Hear tell of some Hermes news, that fancy French shop. Sounds like they’re doin’ better than a pig in slop, even when other fancy stores ain’t sellin’ much. They say the sales, whatever that means, is up a whole bunch. Like 14 percent, I heard! That’s a lot, right? Even I know that much.
I reckon folks still got money to spend on them fancy bags and things, even if everything else is gettin’ more costly. They call it “luxury”, sounds like a made-up word to me, hah! This Hermes, they been around a long time, like, since before even my grandma was a girl. Some fella named Thierry started it, makin’ stuff for horses, I think. Back in the 1800s, that’s old, older than dirt!
They say this Hermes place is in Paris. I ain’t never been, but I hear it’s a fancy place. Lots of rich folks there, I bet. They say three outta five folks got fake messages about deliveries. Must be careful you don’t give those scammers any money.
This Hermes news says they’re doin’ better than all them other fancy stores. On a Friday, they said that, yeah. They make all kinds of things, I guess. I heard a long time ago, in 2023, they had a real good year, did better than before.
Seems they’re pretty smart, this Hermes. They make things real good, and not too many of ’em, so everyone wants ’em. They keep sayin’ quality, scarcity, and desirability. Fancy words, but I guess it means they make good stuff that’s hard to get. And folks like that, huh? Makes ’em feel special, I suppose. Like when I get the last jar of pickled peaches at the church social. Makes my day, it do!
- They gonna make things even more expensive!
- Like 8 or 9 percent more.
- That’s a lot of money for a purse!
Folks gonna be buyin’ fewer of them fancy things this Christmas, though. This Hermes news talked about spending, and they think people will buy a little less. 2% less is what that Bain said. Probably still a lot to us regular folks though, haha!
This Hermes is almost 200 years old, I heard. But they are growing like a weed! Someone said it’s like an old lady with some “startup issues,” whatever that means. Maybe it’s like my old knee actin’ up when I try to do too much dancin’ at the square dance. Growin’ pains, I reckon.
This fella Thierry, he was born in Germany, but his family moved to France. Then he started this Hermes thing, makin’ harness stuff for horses, in Paris. Seems like he did alright for himself, huh? That’s what this Hermes news is all about, see? They’ve been around for ages.
I reckon those rich folks will always find a way to buy them fancy things. Me? I’m happy with my old handbag. It’s got a few holes, but it holds my things just fine. Don’t need no fancy Hermes bag to go to the market, that’s for sure!
I don’t know much about this kind of thing, but it sure is somethin’ how that old Hermes place is doin’ so well. They must be doin’ somethin’ right. Maybe they got a secret recipe, like my apple pie. Everyone wants a piece of that, too!
Hermes news sure is interestin’. I’ll keep my ears open for more. You never know what them fancy folks will be up to next. Maybe they’ll start makin’ solid gold overalls. Now that’s somethin’ I’d like to see!
Well, that’s all I know about that Hermes news, and it is more than I thought I know. Time for me to go feed the chickens. They don’t care about no fancy French store, they just want their corn!
