I agree with this. I always have been treated nicely in LV Paris, and then Hermes -despite lack of confidence and backpack style-
but I also notice you just have to walk in there being normal, it's only a shop don't let them affect you ! obviously I never have the SAs running to serve me, lol, but I just look around, wait a bit and then go to someone, it's finally a really nice experience as the person is most of the time really pleasant, I am just myself, polite, and smiling <- and that is also something valuable for these employees who have to deal with all sorts of rude customers.....and if I have to deal with rude persons I will just walk out, and report the experience to their consumer services, and be courageous and tell them I want to speak to someone else.
It's easy for me to be confident at LV as I know a lot about them, and they have their entire collection on their website, but other Designers like Chanel or Balenciaga you really have to do homework to break through the wall of model names, seasons colors, etc...
I just want to walk in and buy a bag even I don't belong to a certain waiting list that I was not aware of lol !!!
But now thanks to tPF no excuses to not be in the know how
i'm new here! but i definitely have to agree with you about the LV Champs-Elysées store, they are truly fantastic I was dressed with the last clothes i had out of my suitcase (not the most amazing, i must say) and the S/A was super friendly. She even joked around with me! The man who wrote me up at the register was also very good, and he even chatted with me in english, spanish and french, haha. The S/A invited me to check out the whole store, which i gladly did, and was awed by how amazing it is inside! alll those baags and just the whole ambiance, truly amazing
