@l.ch. I'm sorry you were saddened to hear about my story but I can assure you that my daughter was warm, safe, fed and had a wonderful time during our Paris vacation. I agree that it is unfortunate that Hermes does not make it easy to purchase certain items. If I decide to return to Paris and get another bag from Hermes, I would probably skip the Sevres and George V boutiques and just visit FHS with an appointment. It goes without saying that my daughter's well being is my number one priority and I would never compromise that for anything. International travel with toddlers is always a challenge and if I do say so myself, I did a damn good job doing it alone. So if you are to have negative feelings, direct them towards Hermes' constructed system of exclusivity or even at me for the exhaustion that I experienced, but rest assured that my toddler was in good hands with her mama.OP, your bag is absolutely stunning.
As I was reading through the whole story, I felt a bitter taste.
Please, I don’t mean to be rude and probably I should not say that, because I don’t own any Hermes bags, but to force a client with a toddler run around Paris, it’s too much for me.
I know that I’m not knowledgeable and thus very quiet here on TPF.
But my original euphoria for the OP finding a treasure, sank as I realized what she had to go through to get this bag.
I know, it’s probably not my place, but I had to share my feelings.
