Dear PurseBop:
How do I decline “politely” an Hermès bag? I feel like I must be thankful and accept whatever they are offering because if I don’t they would be mad and won’t offer another bag in the future.

Dear No Thank you:
Do not be afraid to refuse an offer of a bag from your Hermès SA. Your SA wants you to love and cherish every Hermès bag you purchase. If you refuse a bag offer they will be able to sell it to another person who will love it.
Many times they are not able to fulfill the exact specifications on your wishlist, but they want to offer you a bag. The bag offer may or may not be something you are interested in adding to your collection. If you do not love the bag, you should not accept the bag.
Being honest with your SA is the best way to approach everything. Buying an Hermès bag is a large financial and emotional commitment. You should not buy a bag or any other item from Hermès that you do not truly love and want to use or give as a gift to another person. If you reject a bag, that is an opportunity for your SA to get to know your likes and dislikes better.
You will be offered another bag. It may take a little longer to get what you want, but it will be worth the wait.
