OMG! Major congrats!! Not only you were able to get TWO bags from Dosan, (which is just unbelievable as I thought they only offer to VIPs and celebs) they are also in awesome colors!
Perhaps it's time I shall visit my relatives in Seoul instead of heading to Paris. Can you please share the prices?
Can you share more detail with us? Did you buy the tee and ring first before you approach the SA and ask about bags? I have read people sharing about Korea Hermes, and you have to buy the equivalent amount to get the bag. You are so lucky! congratulations.
I went up to the 3rd floor to look at shoes and clothes, chose a spring collection tee and told SA I want to see some bags on the ground floor. In the lift she asked me what I'm looking for so I told her C24 and she said she will go check and get it. She brought the C24 Blue Paon, which I don't really like the Colour so I asked for other Colours. She told me she has rose jaipur but it's C18 which I'm ok with it too, so she went to get a sealed box out.
After this purchase, I thought I should try to ask for a Kelly too, so she asked me what size I told her k32 ghw which she checked a file, and told me the available Colour. I don't really like the Colours as it's too light, so I ask for K28, she told me she only have bougainvillier ghw. I cannot believe it that I'm abl to get two bags together, so I asked if I need to use two passport to buy both, she said not needed, but her manager said I must spend $10mil won. I walked to the Jewelry section asked her for rings to see, and I chose a CDC ring with diamond which costs $6mil won and I asked if I can buy the bag. She said she will check and again she brought a sealed box again. Bought All with one passport and no previous purchase history as it's my first visit to Hermes in Seoul Dosan. I didn't dressed especially well, was wearing a Karl pullover (past season) with Lemaire x Uniqlo wool pants with a hexagon bag worn as cross body.
These purchases were the least expected of this trip with the kids and it was our last day in Seoul with no agenda, so I told DH that I want to go visit the Hermes Cafe and I didn't think I have a chance in getting TWO bags. Really lucky of me. And a wonderful end to my year 2016 and of course a good start to 2017.
I will post the pictures later tonight.
I go to Korea every summer. The stock at the airport is much better than other duty free stores in Seoul. Even at duty free, most items are even more expensive than buying back in US with tax on top. For some reason, the watches are cheaper.
OMG! ₩12,000,000 is currently USD $9950. Clemence K28 in US is $9900, and that's before tax, so wow. Korea is actually cheaper than US, at least at the current exchange rate.
And those two bags are simply too pretty! Congrats again. And thanks for sharing the details.
