A few stores do have in store boutiques that carry the bags. The one in Chevy Chase at Mazza Gallerie, for one. I dont think they do too well with Hermes in that store however. I go there maybe once every couple of months and see the same stuff on the shelves. There are probably a lot of reasons. They never have birkin or kelly bags and the sales staff is very poorly informed. One of them informed me that swift was a color which was only available in rigide kelly bags. She also told me that barenia and natural vache were the same thing. Plus, they are competing with a local Hermes store in Northern Virginia that is absolutely fabulous and has great inventory as well as terrific salespeople.
