Their yearly income was €2 million.
Everyone's patience has its limits. Seems like Hermes' workers reached theirs because of the company's low salary policy. People decided to take the situation into their hands and went to extreme measures.
From 2013 to 2014, the ex-employees of the manufacturing company organized a network and sold fake Hermes bags for above €20.000, mainly in the Asian region.
They used the materials of the original bags, so the two were quite indistinguishable. Police wrapped up the forgery operation, and all the engaged workers got prosecuted. As Fashion Telegraph reported, the executive director of Hermes, Patrick Tomas, said more than %80 of Hermes items sold on the internet were fake.
