hi everyone, i was there on March 26th, and to be honest with you I didn't understand the hype.
1. The sales associates were really nice, polite without being fake friendly.
2. The store was quite bare inside; it seemed that almost 40% of merchandise was off the rack and sold.
3. My biggest hangup was a group full of tourists (from China ) had flooded the store and were yelling at the top of the lungs to the sales associates all around. They were acting like the stuff was going out of fashion! It reminded me of a fish market...I too am Asian, and just walking around, talking with the associates I got a good perspective of why they are sometimes mean. I asked of course about Birkin's and the lady did look up on the computer and told me politely that no store was carrying them. Lies,...truth...?!?! but at that point I didn't care... Like someone has posted here, if I'm willing to spend $10K on a bag, then I shouldn't have to work this hard.
Overall, not a bad or dissapointing experience, just strange.
Ah well, another time perhaps!
