if she arrived at Palais at 12.00 she could not have possible be done by 15.15 (that is without line cutting/buying a place in line). People who arrived at 9 am got in at 14.30. and what did she get?
all cards including Amex are accepted.

Agreed with that we arrived at 6:50 and left at 14:00 and we was quick inside the sale ...

Overhead in line from a lady who has come to the past three H Soldes in Paris:
"Last summer I went on the last day of the sale and they had pieces marked at 90% off."

I am not sure she is a credible resource, but she hasn't stopped talking to the Japanese couple just ahead of me for the past two hours!

My 5:45 p.m. update: I've been here just past two hours. I am now near the front of the "back 25%" of the line I joined when I first arrived. I estimate there are 100+ people in line who arrived after I did. I know they close at 8:30 this evening. That's around two hours from now. I hope they will accommodate those who have been waiting for hours, but it is only logical that they might send some people home before they have the opportunity to enter the Soldes. Wish me Bonne Chance!

I think I may be viewing the front of the entrance line! I hear beeping from behind cubicles up ahead. I am wondering if that may the security check area. Here is a photo of my current line position:

OK I'm back at my air conditioned hotel and can report. It's a hot day in Paris. First the bad news: there was lots of cutting in line before the main doors open. I was there before 5 am and and waited patiently. Somehow the number of people in line ahead of me seemed to double by the time the doors opened. Hermès needs to do a better job of policing this at future sales. Even so I made it in (just) with the main group at 9 am. Headed first to belts and scored exactly what I wanted (dark brown belt strap). Boom! Then headed to homewares and bought printed couch throw with enough lime green that it will go well in my living room. Next grabbed some gloves that were exactly what I wanted (black leather with silver button). Then I went to shoes and thought about some but ended up abstaining in favour of a 140 cm cashmere/silk scarf for myself that I hadn't planned on. Did extremely well in the 90 cm scarves, I bought to the limit of 10 and they are mainly for people at work but I managed to get a Hippolis for myself (to frame) (the only Hippopolis in the whole sale they told me) as well as a Maison des Carrès for framing (they had this in several colours). Finally I got a few maxi twillies for the work crowd. So, it was an extremely successful day. Crowd control was fine once I was in the sale but it wasn't good before I got in--those line cutters should be ashamed of themselves. View attachment 3753789View attachment 3753790

Ooh, Hippopolis! What a great find! Love all your scarves! You are so kind to shop for your co-workers. [emoji4]

Hi everyone,

Finally Getting some Food after a whole day of standing in line. Here is what i have been told by one of the Managers: resellers Grab the items, list them on ebay and only one they are, they are checking them out...

@weN84 May I please know where you found the pouch? I did not see a line for those?

I am in the 90 cm line now. I did well in the 70cm and 45cm. And a maxi Twilly solid in red. And a pair of white sandals, the laurel design posted earlier by one of our tPF members.

Would you kindly clarify this for me?
I am not a reseller. Are you saying Hermes is somehow tracing the one-of-a-style pieces and somehow taking action against those who buy at the summer Soldes and immediately list on eBay to resell for profit?
