10k for a pocketbook while kids are starving down the street. What a world 😵‍💫

12:38. Hermes deserves its success, they don’t care about mass production or fast fashion, it’s about quality and taking the time to achieve it. ❤❤❤

[stmeal]

I love this episode. I’ve learned a lot.

[lilianalfr]

An excellent compilation. Will watch again and again. Thank you! 🌞

[JonBrown-pohe]

Hermès definition of costly is well said. High quality craftsmanship, premium ingredients, and attention to detail are integral when I've purchased pairs of 'bespoke shoes and boots.

[mirzatajic]

in gist, anything can be art if you think hard enough.

[williamchoi]

The Walmark's "WIRKIN" I count that is a piece of "most GUT contemporary art" in

[genextra]

Hernes refusing to increase sales by sacrifing their standards makes them more valuable than their products.

[PDogB]

Not just about art and fashion, also a study of human nature. What brings us together and separates us. Still relevant even today. Wonderful, thanks for posting.

[jbeach]

To be completely honest, all of these segments disturbed and saddened me at some level. The overall compilation of episodes was an interesting insight on how perspective and affluence can make art and fashion both ugly and of very little relevance or value to society as a whole.

[robertgiles]

koons brings sculpture down to a whole new level

[martinhumble]

I love art, but I couldn't see any in the segment

[laurathemajorcan]

The Hermes guy is so right about everything.

[tammy]

Morley Safer’s report on contemporary art is the most realistic reporting on contemporary art.

[liezlvanantwerp]

Hermés never give up your quality just because people don’t have patience! Handwork is precious and priceless 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[RobertoAlvaraz]

There’s a black/african/somali American painter. His name is Mohamed Hersi - if you ever want to add someone of color in your awesome documentaries.

Love to koon & Laurie always!

I wouldn't like to have to define where the line between art and craft lays, or even if there is one.. but it seems to me, reading the comments and from personal experience as a hand sewer, that the real problem is a social one. Less and less people have any understanding of the skills required to make an object by hand. And the time it takes, not just to make that one object, but to build up the skills, experience and muscle memory. These things are not understood and appreciated because so few people have any experience of making something themselves. It reminded of something my daughter's ballet teacher said many years ago to me about how she wasn't really in the business of training professional ballerinas, she wanted everyone to enjoy the dance..then the throw away comment that the world needs less ballerinas than appreciative audience members. I've often brought that comment back to mind. If you have never tried gymnastics you're appreciation of the Chinese circus is lacking that extra dimension, if you have never tried carpentry or carving then the hand made table is beautiful but can you really appreciate the effort that went into making it? And when so many people see me sewing in the doctors waiting room or waiting for a bus and proudly tell me how they have never even learned to sew on a button and don't even have a needle in their house, how can you really understand and appreciate what's going on in the workshop where the ladies are stitching handbags and therefore the wait.

Glad we know now how the bags are made and the integrity they have; now I understand the brand, , , it is what it is and they don’t force you buy so it’s understandable now but still pricey.
