Accusations of disputed commercial practices weigh on Herm\u00e8s in California as two clients file a lawsuit against the luxury brand.

The renowned French luxury house Herm\u00e8s<\/strong> is at the center of a lawsuit in California, pursued by two dissatisfied clients who claim they were excluded from acquiring the highly coveted Birkin bag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tina Cavalleri and Mark Glinoga<\/strong> filed a complaint in a San Francisco court on Tuesday, March 19<\/strong>, alleging unfair business practices by the brand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The plaintiffs accuse Herm\u00e8s of establishing a system that favors the purchase of various luxury accessories, such as shoes, scarves, jewelry, among others, in hopes of attaining the necessary status to be able to purchase a Birkin bag.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to their complaint, the fashion house has restricted access to these iconic bags to customers with “sufficient purchase history,”<\/em> which they argue violates US antitrust laws.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, in its “Complete Guide to Buying a Birkin Bag,” published in December 2022, the auction house Sotheby\u2019s<\/strong> also stated that “Herm\u00e8s only allows boutiques to purchase a certain number of Birkin bags on a semi-annual basis”<\/em> and confirms that one must indeed have a “purchase history with the brand”<\/em> to attain the bag.<\/p>\n
