Hermes boutiques in London

[louise_elouise]

Can I ask if you are after ordinary leather or exotic? My SA did mention that they disappointed some clients due to the shortage of croc bags.

Normal leather but a Kelly 25.

My friend received a b25 after 2:1 spending. She received riiiight as her wish was about to expire. This new wish list system makes zero sense to me and I figured it was the same as before but who knows.

I’m just hoping for the usual surge of bag offers around Christmas.

Which store was it, and when did you make the Wishlist, June? I made one for a K in the Selfridges concession end of spring. Wondering if it's going to happen! congrats on yours!

I’m still waiting for something from Selfridges and spent more than 1:1 ratio. I put my name down for a Constance

Happy Friday Londoners! Has anyone received any wish list bags in London over the past couple of months?

I've now spent well over the price of my wishlist bag and have been waiting longer than usual for an offer... About 7 months. I'm trying to manage my expectations in terms of timing and quite frankly starting to wonder whether I'll be offered a bag this year at all!

It also feels like the "2021 bag offers" thread is very light, very few B/K/C offers and these days a Picotin or Evelyn seem like a win. What's everyone else's view / experience on offers this year?

there are definitely bags in London and being purchased from NBS. Look at some of the owners from the resale companies. One lady just got a bag for her anniversary. She makes it clear in past IG a stories that majority of her bags are from the store too. So bags are available. I guess as everyone says it’s all about the relationship.

FWIW my friend put her name down for a black Epsom Constance PHW 24 from Selfridges last year and is still waiting she had to renew her wish because the original one expired

oh wow ! Thanks for that info. I guess that means we have to keep spending to get the bag. It’s sad because at the moment their genuinely isn’t anything I want.

Ya agree. Especially now that I have the basics (eg bracelets, SLGs, scarves) I’m waiting for an interesting shoe, RTW, jewellery drop but it’s a dry season…

Hmmm I dunno whether to trust people on insta. They claim all sorts of nonsense, and many claim they got their bag from the store when they clearly didn’t

I think it has a lot to do with low inventory rather than spend tbh. Only buy what you love and swing by and see your SA whenever you are passing so you’re on their radar and the bag will come.
no point in getting stressed or spending money on random’stuff’

you are wise to be sceptical

Totally agree! The bags will come back eventually and it’s been a weird 2 years.

Hi all just wish to update that I have just made my wish today with a SA that I just got assigned to. I had spending history back in 2019 and due to Covid I was not in UK until now.

I am curious if spending has anything to do with the wish… and if it is really pure luck that if I can be given a bag.

I am also trying to get an appointment at FSH and my SA actually encouraged that as she seems not confident about the likelihood of getting me a bag here…

I waited patiently for my wishlist, and all but given up when suddenly after 9 months I received my HG - a Constance 18 Blue Nuit in Evercolour PHW!

My SA was so generous with his time and knowledge when setting my wishlist (we set it wide on his guidance - neutrals). We had so much fun! He knew I am not a big spender (for me it cannot be about spending ratio). He also knew that I was willing to wait as long as it took and would cherish my bag once received.

Please, please, don't give up!

Thankyou so much for your reply. Was this from Selfridges?
