How to scrape Hermès without getting blocked

What protects Hermès?

DataDome

Hermès protects its product pages and the always-elusive Birkin/Kelly leather goods section with DataDome at a high sensitivity tier. Requests from flagged IP ranges get a 403 with DataDome's interstitial, and the storefront enforces protection per region — a US path and an FR path are protected separately.

DataDome here scores IP reputation heavily, so a request on a burned datacenter or residential IP hard-blocks (HTTP 403, X-Dd-B challenge) before the page renders. Matching the proxy country to the storefront and routing through clean residential IPs is what gets a clean pass. Sessemi routes through fresh residential IPs and solves the device check automatically when one fires.
