The next time you blow out the birthday candles, wish for a husband as rare as Hermes or direct the almighty to the upcoming and viral Husbands at Hermes’ Instagram account. These men clearly have it all patience, taste, and pot loads of money. By the looks of it, they will also have popularity thrown in the mix sooner than later. Is there a better picture of a new-age romance? Where a man peacefully waits for hours to spend his hard-earned money to bring his lady love a bag that’s harder to get your hands on than even the moon?
The Husbands at Hermes account came to life earlier this month with only 15 posts (at the time of writing) but a spectacular online presence. The husbands are resorting to every measure to stay within the realm of sanity, from playing Tetris and trying out every seat in the store to nestling in the special room. One husband had his style game on point, flaunting his own printed silk Hermes scarf while posing with his ultra-expensive purchase.
As expected, social media is gushing over the page of adorable husbands. One user aptly commented, “Romance is still alive.” The husbands, aka heroes of the page, received every good comment from ‘husband of the year,’ ‘he’s a keeper,’ and ‘the account I never knew I needed!!! In addition to having husbands wait for hours with you and witness their fortune deplete, sometimes, wives have to go back empty-handed owing to the scarcity of Birkin bags.
That scenario is unsuitable for anyone, including the man in the waiting room. An easier way is scoring a Birkin or Kelly in Paris. Simply start by purchasing lower-ticket Hermès items and getting registered in the holy Hermès register. This brings you one step closer to bagging a pun intended leather appointment, as the company’s system allegedly filters out people without a purchase history. Customers in China were furious over similar Hermes sales tactics that had them splurging no less than 10,000 on accessories just to get on a Birkin, Kelly, or Constance waiting list.
Whether there is any truth in the above can be found by hitting that Hermes store with your loving husband in tow.
