I used to work at Hermès and saw customers make the same mistakes over and over again.

- As a former Hermès employee, I saw customers make some common mistakes when shopping in-store.
- It's important to understand that most shoppers can't just walk in and buy a Birkin bag.
- Customers should have a good relationship with their sales associate, but they shouldn't bug them.
I spent two years working in retail marketing and visual merchandising at Hermés.
