I just returned from a trip to Provence, where we stopped in the Aix-en-Provence and Avignon boutiques. Both were smaller than than other stores I have visited, and has been discussed previously, Avignon is a franchise store (confirmed by my SA in Paris) and had limited stock in scarves, jewelry, and VERY limited stock in bags. My SA in Avignon actually pointed out the empty bag cases and the non-bag items they had displayed in them to make them look less forlorn, when I asked about bag availability. The Aix store is bigger, with better stock, but they practically laughed at me when I asked about the possibility of getting a Birkin or Kelly, even after picking out a few items for purchase. I'm glad I stopped by FSH, as I ended up getting my dream bag there!
