Excellent inventory in Seoul right now, all the duty free stores are very well stocked, even some lindys on shelf. Very wide selection of colours except neutrals like black, Etain etc. huge selection of bangles, bracelets, CDCs, KDT, Kelly dogs, be Hapis etc etc. I believe there are some Bs and Ks but need a min spend though I never enquired. I observe that duty free stores don't play the games like regular stores do, and will show you whatever they have. The regular store inventory is also good but service is generally cool.

do you mean that there are Bs and Ks at the duty free airport boutiques?

I just returned from Seoul. The cafe, museum and atelier at the flagship Maison Hermes at Dosan is closed temporarily for renovations. I'm so disappointed I didn't get to see first hand the wonderful exhibit there. Otherwise, the stocks in Seoul are quite a feast for the eyes! :woohoo:

I did notice that duty free has more stock displayed vs the flagship and duty free service is much warmer. The other stores are a hit and miss depending on what you are looking for.

Would depend on where you stay I suppose - on one side of the river you will be able to cover Lotte DFS, Donghwa DFS, shinshigae, Shilla hotel and Shilla DFS. On the other side which is the more upmarket district of Apkujung/ Gangnam where you will find Hyundai, Galleria, Shinshigae, CoEX, Lotte world and flagship Dosan park.

At the upmarket side will need taxis to commute between stores it's not near any subway station except CoEX.
