Honestly, the idea of “overrun stock” and HERMES in the same sentence kinda makes my head spin. We’re talking about *Hermes*, people. The company that’s basically synonymous with, you know, waiting lists and handcrafted perfection. You’d think they’d be more about *under*run stock, tbh. Like, deliberately making less so you can charge even MORE.
But, okay, let’s entertain the thought. Where are we even *seeing* this supposedly overrun HERMES jewelry? Are we talking about some dodgy back alley deal? Or maybe some “too good to be true” online auction site? Because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably IS.
The text snippets provided don’t actually *mention* overrun stock. They talk about revenue, loyal customers, price target revisions from UBS (which sounds super boring, btw), and even Tiffany jewelry! What the heck does Tiffany have to do with this? I guess it’s about high-end jewelry, but still.
The bit about Hermes bucking the global slowdown because of leather goods and loyal customers? That makes sense. People are *obsessed* with their Birkins, and I can kinda see jewelry being the next frontier. But overrun? Nah. Doesn’t fit the brand image.
Maybe – and this is just me spitballing here – maybe some of the jewelry ends up in outlet stores? I dunno, maybe some slightly imperfect pieces that didn’t *quite* meet the Hermes standards? Even then, I’d expect them to be snatched up faster than you can say “orange box.”
And what *kind* of jewelry are we even talking about? Is it the crazy expensive high jewelry from the Blue Book collection the text mentions? Because that stuff is like, art. Or is it more of the everyday stuff? Even *that* ain’t cheap.
