Hermes and Seoul

[bayonet]

Hello! I am in Seoul and I need some advices.

Few days ago I went to one of the H stores, they asked me to wait in line. While waiting, they asked me what I was looking for. I said, a bag. After 5 mins an SA greeted me and escorted me to a shelf with 5 different NQBs available for purchase, which I have no interest in. There was a white epsom K25 on the top of it and I asked for it. She said it’s only for display. I tried to make conversation to “establish” a relationship but lost in translation. I was wearing H shoes, Fendi mama bagguete bag, rolex watch, and dressed quite casual, if that matter.

So I am a medical tourist with 30 days plan to stay in Seoul. I dont have H store in my hometown so it’s hard to establish any kind of relationship with SA. I bought a few H items while traveling in Japan, Singapore, and Hongkong, but no history in Seoul.

Now I am planning to buy an Oran, and a Kelly if it’s possible (I am only spending on things I like). Do I buy Oran in one of H store in Seoul and try to get a Kelly? Or I better save Oran for prespend elsewhere with better chance of scoring a Kelly?

Thank you!

I hate to break it to you - outside of Paris lottery or having a lucky day, I don’t think there’s anywhere in the world you can buy only a pair of Orans and get a Kelly.

If you’re dead set on getting a Kelly, best to find and build a relationship and prespend with an SA at the store closest to your hometown that you can easily get to.

Another potential option is going to China where they are supposedly a lot more transparent about present but you’d definitely need to spend more than one pair of Oran’s.
