Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fox Business

A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed against luxury brand Hermes, alleging that the company engages in unlawful tying practices by requiring customers to purchase other luxury items in order to acquire its coveted Birkin handbags. The lawsuit, filed in California, accuses Hermes of breaching federal and state antitrust laws and seeks class action certification, an injunction, damages, and other relief. The plaintiffs claim they were told they needed to buy additional Hermes items to have a chance at purchasing Birkin bags. Hermes, which strictly prohibits tying sales of certain products, has a market capitalization of 252.72 billion euros.

"Birkin Bag Sales Practices Prompt Class-Action Lawsuit Against Hermès"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian

Hermès is facing a lawsuit in California alleging that it unlawfully restricts the sale of its iconic Birkin handbags to customers with a "sufficient purchase history," violating antitrust laws by tying the sale of one item to the purchase of another. The lawsuit claims that sales associates push customers to buy other items to gain the opportunity to purchase a Birkin, and seeks class-action status for thousands of US consumers who bought Hermès goods or were asked to buy them in order to purchase a Birkin.
