sorry for the naive questions, but - as I mentioned on another thread, I have to plan a trip to Paris and I can choose the date -- should I wait for the sale in Jan, or is it so similar to NY's sale that going to FSH just before Christmas is a better choice because they will be stocked with goodies - or- is the Paris sale simply TDF??
and lastly, if I do go to the sale, is there an invitation only day?
TIA for all the advice!!

hello hermeshunter.
I think it depends on what you are after.
I have been to the sale in both Paris and London and the one in Paris was far far better than the one in London. But I have never been to the one in NY so can't compare.
But if you are looking for SLG, Ready-to-wear, scarves, gloves, shoes, small accessories, belts and even little "H-starter" handbags, then it is worth going. But the stock varies and obviously if you are looking for something particular, then the sale wouldn't suit your needs. In my case, I didn't have anything particular in mind but was just looking for some nice gloves, small accessories, so scored very nice things and was incredibly satisfied.
Obviously, if you are just after a bag like kelly or birkin, then there is no point because they wouldn't show up there.
I personally loved the sale in Paris, but I also love visiting Paris in December.
Hope it helps.

Well, one seasoned shopper seems to concur with these dates and if you read his blog http://brieuc75.numeriblog.fr/soundtracktomylife/herms/
you'll find that the queue is already well started by 4am, the sale on these dates is not by invitation and there is a lot of loot to be gained! Nice work if the post-Christmas budget can stretch to it.

No invite needed! There are now a couple of Paris sale threads that have been started--so check both for information.
I am arranging two first-day events. Who knows--there may be more!
So far we have a few people interested in a get-together for tea at Laduree around 4pm on Wednesday to share our sale tales and peek at our goodies. Some of us are also interested in a dinner that night. I will be arranging both and keeping names--so all members who are coming should send me a pm or make a post here. In the next day or two I will get it all together.
You will not need to stand outside in the cold. The site is a huge place--rather like a big mall. The outer doors open sometime in the early morning--I can't remember if it was 6 or 7 am last time. After that, you follow the Hermes signs and wait indoors.
Take care!

Lucky you--you can sneak out and shop.
If anyone decides on a second Laduree meet, would you be interested? You can pm me. Things may evolve as the week goes on.
