Are. You. Joking. Me? That's outrageous! Was it Collier de Chien belts you bought and ordered?

I´m not joking! But it wasn´t "Collier de Chien belts".
I bought a "belt-kit -> leather & buckle". One in 32 and the other one in 24. And I ordered an other 32 with a different leather and a different buckle.

That I also bought an other 32 in my store she couldn´t see.
 
Hi all

can anyone confirm that its one bag per passport for all Hermes in Europe? My cousin tried to buy 2 bags for me but he was told he could only buy 1 bag per passport...its a new policy for Hermes.

These bags arent birkins or kellys.

Yes, for leather bags, I think it's one bag per passport per store visit. (Both France and Italy.) I couldn't believe they were counting Evelyne and GP too.....

Ow My Gawd!! Cant believe they're counting Evelyne and GP too..! Shocking!!
 
The lady on the phone explained me that all orders from Europe by internet delivered via Paris. I think this is the reason that the stock via internet in all european country´s is the same. (Check the stock at H.com in the different countries and you´ll see)
Yes, this is correct.
 
"Yes, for leather bags, I think it's one bag per passport per store visit. (Both France and Italy.) I couldn't believe they were counting Evelyne and GP too....."

O M G, i should cancel my paris trip next year if i can only buy 1 bag. geez.. can anyone confirm this.

one more question, the back then policy 1 K en B per year, is it 2 per 2012, 2 per 2013 or 1 year after our date of purchase. i really wonder. thanks a loot.

It was absolutely true both in France and in Italy, but this was August when very few bags were available period, so maybe it will be true or maybe not. Then again, the rules change everyday, so whatever is true now may or may not be true or false by the time you visit next year...
 
As per some TPFers told me, France set the quota as any design is one bag per customer per year??? Doesnt make sense to me but I got to swallowed it because this TPF thought I wanted his favour to get me some bags. Then the one K and one B per year, I was told it is either one Kelly OR one Birkin per year and not one each.

Thanks for your replies.

So it appears that all leather bags are included in the rule not just birkins and kelly! Its now one bag per passport and either one kelly or birkin per year??

Just out of curiosity, the bag limits only apply in France and Italy? Not the rest of Europe?? I thought there's no way other hermes stores can see your purchases? So how are they tracking how many bags you have bought??

thanks
 
Is it true???
What about in USA?

I'm a bit confused--I know in the US (at least at my local boutique), it was either 1 B or 1 K in a 6-mth period, i.e. limit of 2 for the year. This rule was in effect as of Spring/Summer, but maybe the rule changed again.

Not sure if it's per calendar year, or from date of purchase. My guess is it's date of purchase, since if you bought in Dec, I don't think one is allowed to buy again in January.

Also, if it's 1 bag per passport, per store visit in Europe, can you come back another day to purchase bag #2?

Just wondering...
 
So is this pretty well established that corporate stores don't or can't track what you purchased at franchise stores? Because I'm traveling to a franchise store next week

I was not aware that Hermes has franchise stores. Is there a reference document somewhere that shows which are franchise boutiques?

I have bought lots of Hermes at Neiman-Marcus over the years, but now very few NMs carry Hermes.
 
I made also an experience of limitation but it was with belts at H.com

I bought 2 belts in 2012. As I order an other belt a few weeks ago I got a call from Paris that they have to cancel my order because I already bought 2 belts in 2012. So I can´t get anymore in 2012...... They canceled my order an put the belt again on sale!

But via Internet it´s no problem because - I opened a new account with a different name and with a new email address and an other post address ... and here we go I got my belt!

You are very clever. Good to hear your workaround worked for you!
