| - Do not go to this Hermes store. Let me tell you why.
Let me first inform you about Hermes. It is different from the LVMH conglomerate which owns Louis Vuitton, Moet & Chandon, etc. Although those stores take exhaustive measures to ensure quality in their products, Hermes specifically is known for their leather goods (Louis Vuitton was first a luggage/chest manufacturer). Hermes has all been about leather goods- from when they were first catering to high-end equestrian hobbyists.
With that said, yes; their leather goods are unparalleled.
The best things in life are free. The next best things are very, very expensive. Thus, Hermes.
But this store in particular is a big no no. Sales associates should be helpful to whomever. However, they were not helpful to me at all. And no, I wasn't in shorts and t-shirt (regardless, they shouldn't judge), and I wore something decently presentable. They discriminate relentlessly and act like they have no time for you. This is a horrible, horrible mistake many people make in luxury retail. Gucci does not do this. Louis Vuitton does not do this.
I was going to get an Hermes tie for a friend and as I was asking about prints, but the person helping me was just looking away as he was talking. I'd have to grab his attention if I wanted to ask him something. There was no one else in the store and he was just waddling around aimlessly around- at least stay nearby so you can make a sale. But no.
If you want to go to an Hermes store and be treated right, go to the one at Crystals, at City Center. I bought from them a year ago and they were very helpful and receiving.
Do not go here.
