Hermes boutiques in London

[I_sts]

You guys are so lucky to be invited to the H sale! I’m sitting over here dreaming of just having a nice customer experience with an H SA! I think I’m a nice customer- I’m never demanding and I’m always polite. While I’m not Bill Gates wealthy I have coins to spend. I don’t understand how to be an H customer- particularly when all I’ve ever requested from an SA are non quota bag items and they still don’t deem my cash worthy enough to take/ Ignore me. It’s kind of demoralising- I’m thinking that it’s likely I’ll never become a long term customer- which is what I have become with Chanel. If anyone has any tips or can add a ray of Hermes sunshine to my doom it would be much appreciated.

btw I really do hope everyone enjoys the sale!

It looks like only 2 days will be semi-private, the rest days will be public. Check Chicmi for more information.

Received an invite for the private sale in London, no link yet though.... looking at mainly scarves, but do you think they’ll also have belts? I’ve read that these sales don’t tend to have leather goods

Also got invited to ‘La cuisine des Oranges’, didn’t go because it clashed with another event I couldn’t miss, if anyone knows what it was (I know this question wasn’t answered) please let me know, I’m so curious! Do you guys know if these private events happen often or once in a blue moon?

Have you bought any non-leather items so far and found someone you click with? Usually you need a history for highly coveted non-quota bags, though I am not sure what you are looking for from your post.

This doesn’t seem right. I brought a popular leather item, that I’d considered an entry level item. I’ve never brought anything else from Hermès and it was only a couple months ago. Either the invite is for new customers that spend infrequently and new or the invite is generated randomly.

I don’t really have cash to spend right now, but if there are good discounts on a nice range of scarves I could be tempted. I might not go in the end, ill decide later.

Sorry to hear of your experience. Such a shame as so many shops I’m sure would jump at the chance to have your custom. I did shift to Chanel a few years ago and found it quite refreshing. But it’s the product which brought me back. I have had a similar ambivalent response at Cadogan but i think it depends on which SA you get. I was pleasantly surprised by Bond St on Friday. They could not have been lovelier. My line was “my main relationship is with Cadogan but I was in the area and thought I would pop in”. I was seen straight away and my wish for two really popular scarves was put on the system. Nothing to lose in trying. Good luck!

Well I will definitely try Bond St. I’m going there next Thursday to see if they have some items I’m on the hunt for. But I think this will be my final attempt at H shopping otherwise it’s back to Chanel and an end to my dream of owning a Kelly 32!

I’m starting to feel like they made a mistake in sending it out to too many of us then only sent the link to a select few

There is still a reasonable amount of time left - I am surprised because of the number of people I know who received it.. and many are not great Hermes fans. Still I’m pleased with the invite - but will be even more pleased once I get the link and am registered! A bit of piece of mind. Someone mentioned chicmi and this being a public sale for 5 days - any more info on this?

I think the information provided by Chicmi is correct since that sale structure would align with other sales held worldwide.

Also, we should receive the registration link 7 days prior to the first private sale day according to Chicmi.

Might be a good idea to avoid wearing any Hermes items, as mentioned before in the Paris sales thread.

Never mind!..Someone asked the same question and you answered it

Has anyone actually been offered an so for this season yet? My SA said she will let me know soon... two months ago hehe (cry)

Just a warning to anyone to NOT drop off their H RTW at Blanc Dry Cleaners in London. They completely ruined one of my favourite cashmere/silk sweaters.
