I've heard what Japster said^^ SA in local store said "Chicago is 'The Kelly Store'", they usually have a bunch
Chicago is a fabulous city and Michigan Avenue is GORGEOUS during holiday season. You'll want to take lots of pictures. It will be a blast to shop.
The Hermes store is right off of Michigan Avenue, on Oak St. They have an excellent bakery/chocolate store called "Sarah's" only two doors down from it. The store is overall very friendly and warm and I have been a customer there for several years. I think your attitude and approach means the most. People in the midwest are very down to earth and nice. If you go in there with a good personality and not demanding, they are very cool. Like I said, there is only 1 SA there that has a snotty air, the rest are pretty great.
Here are some pics I took last year of Michigan Avenue in Dec.

mlp, Japster has given you the info on that area of north Mich Ave. If I were you I'd visit the H store there. Your experience could very well be a good one. I've been in a couple times. The people I encountered seemed very serious and reserved in comparison to the Charlotte Hermes where they are welcoming and open.
But why not give it a try. And you know how I feel about Chicago--it's practically my hometown and there is so much more to do and see than the world-class shopping! You'll enjoy it there.

I go to Chicago shopping at least once a month .... it is awesome! If you have a chance to go, you definitely should!
I have been in the Hermes store a few times and the last time met the most wonderful SA ..... last weekend there was THE MOST beautiful Kelly in the window, a brown color, Cafe maybe? Oh it was TDF!!!!

I was in that store in May of 2006. They were kind of dismissive until they found out I was literate about the brand and actually owned a bag. Then the attitude changed.
I didn't think the store was that big, is it really the second largest in the US? They have been nice about sending me the Hermes magazine and things like that but it sometimes takes a couple of calls. The SA that was the nicest to me was a very sophisticated African-American woman. Her name escapes me but she was very impressive.
I guess it depends on the day and the SA.

I have to say I love the Chicago store. I have a great SA there. I first went in there last year a little clueless about the brand. I only knew about H what I saw in magazines like Vogue and pictures of Princess Grace Kelly. I was able to buy a Kelly that very first visit and a Birkin the next month. I can't speak too much about the other SAs there since I always try to deal with mine. I have to say they have all been quite friendly when I go in the store. I definitely recommend visiting Chicago (one of my favorite cities), and also the H store.
