Hermes has requested a U.S. judge to dismiss a consumer class action lawsuit filed in March, accusing the luxury brand of requiring customers to purchase other items, such as jewelry and shoes, before allowing them the opportunity to buy one of its coveted Birkin bags. The lawsuit, described by Hermes as 'far-fetched', alleges that the company unlawfully ties Birkin sales to a 'sufficient purchase history'. Hermes' legal team from Latham argues that this antitrust case in California is unfairly limiting potential buyers' access to the famous handbags.
