THE BIRKIN GAME

THE

Birkin Game

EVER WONDER JUST HOW YOU CAN SCORE A BIRKIN AT HERMÈS ? READ OUR TIPS BELOW TO LEARN HOW TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES !
1 . DON ’ T SWITCH SALE ASSOCIATES
When you first start shopping at Hermès , it is important to find the right Sales Associate ( SA ) as you will want to exclusively shop with them . Therefore , it is important to find a SA that wants you as a client and is welcoming . Once you find an SA you love , try not to deal with anyone else at your Hermès boutique even if yours isn ’ t on that day . That doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t talk to other SAs , but try not to make any purchases . This will help you build a better relationship with your SA and therefore help your chances of being offered a Birkin .
2 . VISIT YOUR SALES ASSOCIATE FREQUENTLY
That is right , making time to go down to your local Hermès boutique and talking to your SA is a must . Remember they have many other clients all looking for the same thing ( the Holy Grail bag , aka , the Birkin ). So keeping in touch with them and continuously visiting them will help boost your chances of being remembered when one becomes available . I would suggest visiting at least once a month .
