How to decline politely an Hermes quota or non-quota bag?

Question: How do I decline “politely” an Hermes bag? I feel like I must be thankful and accept whatever they are offering and accept, because if I don’t they would be mad and won’t offer anything, ever.

Dear No Thank you:

Your SA wants you to love and cherish every Hermes bag you purchase. They will not be mad at you for refusing a bag offer. They will be able to sell it to another person for sure. Sometimes they are not able to fulfill the exact specifications on your wishlist but they want to offer you a bag. They offer you a bag you may or may not be 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 Hermes bag is a large financial and emotional commitment. You should not buy a bag or any other item from Hermes that you do not truly love and want to use or buy as a gift for 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 awhile to get what you want, but it will be worth the wait.
