Lawsuit Accuses Hermes of Birkin Bag Favoritism Toward Big Spenders

Lawsuit alleges Hermes reserves Birkin bags only for biggest spenders, violating antitrust law
Birkins cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, only sold in stores to "worthy" customers
Sales people allegedly choose Birkin buyers based on their purchase history with Hermes
Sales people don't get commission on Birkins, but use them to coerce shoppers to buy other items that do pay commission
Lawsuit seeks class action status, damages, and order barring practice of requiring purchases to get Birkin access
