Hi all

I will be going to Seoul, Korea at the end of this month, does anyone know if it is possible to just walk into an Hermes store and buy a birkin over there?

many thanks!:smile1:

Find the person that speaks the best English and then work from there. Purchase something to get the ball rolling. Usually, all the good stuff is already set aside for their best customers but I've been lucky a few times there at different stores. Good luck.

Hi there!!! Hmm..... It has been a few days! But if memory serves me right, I did see non relax style bolides in Dosun Park and the Shinsegaes. Think I saw them in black and in darker colours. Can't remember the size though! Good luck!

Thanks starstarz! It was a great trip catching up with friends! Haven't been there in over half a year! Wasn't looking for a b or k this time so I didn't ask. But I am fairly certain that the duty free shops carry Kellys from time to time, so you should just ask. The duty free stores do not play games. Much as I love Lotte DFS at Junggo, I found that place waaaaaaaay too crowded this time, and was pretty stressed out shopping there. Due to high traffic, the inventory was not great. Suggest if you are strapped for time, you could go to the Shilla and Jamsil Lotte DFS instead. Donghwa is nice too.

I did get some other stuff that I like to collect such as Carmen Duos and Bicolours, managed to pick up a couple of rodeos as well. I find that the inventory in Korea is a little different from the rest of the North Asian Hs. Some rare stuff do pop up from time to time! Eg. I got a silk pom pom page marker just about a year ago in the regular Shilla H. And a Kafe Lindy. I hardly see Kafes in the other Asian stores!

So I think K shops are good for Lindy hunting (Ls are on display and if they aren't you can ask if they have them in the back) and some hard to get accessories (I saw quite a few anemone slgs this time). They have nice 'fashionista' items such as women sneakers too. Many other Asian stores don't order these sneakers.

P/s This is off topic, but since I think many of us like Chanel as well, it is worth mentioning that K is a great place for Chanel buying if you are a collector. I have bought many unusual Chanel items over the years in Korea. I saw the coveted Chanel bottle bag in both black and clear plastic in at least 3 Chanels in Seoul. They have a nice collection of earmuffs and mini boy bags too.

Oh wow, thanks for your info hananiki! Since I will only stay for a 3D short trip there (and my ever 1st time to K), I dun hv much time to go through all 13 shops. If u think Shilla and DFS H shops hv better stock than Dosan Park? If yes, I would better stay at Shilla. Btw, I want to make a one time purchase and ask for B&K, so I need a target shop! Any tips for that? Hahahaa... Thanks dear!

I think if you are looking for a B n willing to spend on other non leather items, try Dosun. Just pick the items u want n make sure they add up to the price of a B, then ask e SA serving you for a B. They shd sell u one. Otherwise, just.....😊
