Nah these are the God factory fakes that were referenced up thread

I think I understand what a God factory is, but why is it called that?

It's a specific replica maker that makes pretty close copies.

Quite.

Her video does, however, provide a wonderful reminder why I've entered into a career field where I don't deal with the general public.

Ehh. Push presents are nothing new. My grandma got diamonds back when she birthed children. Typically all major events in life are celebrated. When you graduate college, your Dh and parents usually give you gifts even.

How many people are married before they graduate from college, or if they were have a DH who was established enough to give them a graduation gift? I don't think anyone in my college class was married before graduation. Maybe the universe of push presents overlaps with the universe of marrying very young?

They meant the people closest to them buy gifts. Not everyone but close family. And yeah Dh and I were married before I graduated law school and he got his masters. We went to night school while working in our 20s

I don’t get how a spouse can give their other spouse a $20k gift. Isn’t that joint money anyway?

if so what was the process like?

Yes. My husband gave me one last year. I have no idea how he got it but apparently men have easier times walking into an Hermes and demanding what they want. He's good at that.

He didn’t have to do anything! Because the whole silly process is completely unnecessary and only happens because they know they can. Or I guess also maybe because they know that’s what the women want? It’s just like going to Disney World or a dominatrix dungeon. It’s a whole experience, I guess. But if the dude walks in to just buy a purse, they will just sell him a purse because they know he isn’t there to meet the Disney princesses or be flogged or whatever.

This comment wins as most gross of the thread. That term alone makes me stabby.

That is what Hermes would like for you to believe, you lemmings.

Straight down a rabbit hole friends. How do you get a God Factory bag? This is so fascinating!

I don’t understand why you don’t offer the sales associate a bribe instead of going to all that trouble? That’s not a joke! Why not just cut to the chase with $$$?

You don’t need to bribe them. You just need to calmly explain that you only want to buy the bag and nothing else. Or, display a penis.
