2 Californians are suing Hermès, saying they couldn't buy Birkin bags even after one of them spent tens of thousands of dollars on the brand

• Two Californians sued luxury retailer Hermès over its sales practices for the iconic Birkin bag.
• The plaintiffs said Hermès unlawfully ties the purchase of Birkin bags to buying other products.
• One of the plaintiffs spent tens of thousands at Hermès and was told she couldn't buy another Birkin.

Birkin bags, long a status symbol for the wealthy, are so difficult to purchase that a pair of Californians just sued the company over its sales practices.
