Actually, the strategy of Hermes does not change at all. Accoding to Patrick Thomas-they respect the legacy of the brand’s history and say no to the short-term profit. That is why no masstige and few discounts appear even in the worse economy. On the other hand, Hermes does try to expand in reasonable speed to face the ever increasing demand of their products. It is reported that its cadre of artisans has been expanded from the original 300 to more than 2,000. But people including world’s most famous persons still have to wait quite a time to get their loved Birkin bags made.

Hermes just copes with Recession by sticking to a fundamental principle and keep moving while many others are still struggling. Just make things simple, the world has rich people even in the worse time. And the rich, who represent the strongest buying power of luxury goods, want  exclusive items that can hold value.
