A letter to Hermes

Dear Mr. Hermes,

On the occasion of visiting your distinguished website this afternoon, I developed a concern. Could you please explain to me how a Hermes beach towel costs more than nearly 90% of the items offered by your company?

Do you really have darling customers willing to fork over $450 for a towel? Why wouldn’t said customers spend their money on your lovely tea cups ($320) or silk scarves ($350) instead? Are these magic beach towels? I would most genuinely like to know.

Thank you sincerely for your attention to this matter.

Devotedly,

Emily
