Hey,
I am travelling to London in November and I was wondering. Is there by any chance possible to book an appointment for B/K at the Hermes London store? And is there any specific store that is better than the others? I have a long historic and I have both B/K from before. I want a mini Kelly

Anyone has any idea how I can possibly enhance the chance of getting this QB during the 8 month period?
I saw some posted they are spending towards 1:1 / 2:1 to get the bag - would that help or
is it just pure luck?

I have been shopping in other countries and scored my QBs before but I am getting so confused with this wish list system in UK..

Thank you in advance!

Be a regular shopper
Be nice
Avoid having a 'get a QB' scheme
Remember the virtues of the English - we wait in line

Just ask if you can book an appointment, not guaranteed unless you have an SA in whichever store, then ask when you get there. It'll probably be dependent on how much other stuff you amass before asking as to how sympathetic they'll be.

That's perfect - thank you!
My SA seems to be very helpful and I am glad that I have found her.
Was just worried that it would be very difficult to have a bag at last as I am not sure how many years I would be here for
- guess I should just enjoy the process!

I’ve put my wish list on the bond st store and wondering if the wish list is put on all the other stores or are they independent from each other? (Do I need to put my name down at another store)

You can only create a wish at one store in the UK and that will be the store that grants the wish. The other stores can access the fact you have a wish elsewhere so therefore you cannot create one at any other store. Some people do move wishes to other stores based on their perception that some may have more stock than others. All a bit of a juggle - you will hear success stories and stories of endless waiting too - you have nothing to lose!

Hi, if you are not interested in BKC, (I have my home flagship for that) will SAs make time for walk in customers in London ? DH and I are planning a few trips (we are Donmar theater fans), and I’m always interested in at least looking at what shops abroad have to offer. I only ask bc in Italy, the H shops (Milan, Rome) were packed with locals to the point where as a tourist, I had a tough time getting any SA’s attention. (I am relatively low key and low maintenance and usually interested in select RTW (without alteration), some fine jewelery and home). If it’s a problem, DH and I will just shop at Edward Green, John Locke, Turnbull, and Dior where they have time for walk ins lol.

@WhiteBus, your post above re thank you texts made me laugh. I buy most items through my home SAs; I always text a brief enthusiastic thank you without any queries so it’s clear no response is required. (I usually get an emoticon). Small courtesies (not just to H SAs) serve me well in the long run, and it’s a good habit to have. I also never take boxes, ribbon, or packaging, so I won’t adversely affect the dwindling Brexit supply. :smile:

I popped in to NBS on the weekend as a walk-in and I can honestly say I was shocked at the experience (and not pleasantly so). I would describe it as almost a feeding frenzy, the sense I got from customers was like “please take my money, I just wanna buy something” and kinda distasteful although the SA’s did their best to remain cheerful even though visibly stressed. It was hard to get anyone’s attention and stocks were low in every department when you could get someone to even talk to you. Not just H either to be fair…. My wallet breathed a huge sigh of relief tho! :biggrin:

Yes I did last month (K25). But the offers are made by the store manager, so the individual SAs don’t have much of a say on what you can get offered.

Congratulations,Oh really so that good contact with your sa means not much ,l really can’t understand how some people shop and spend like 2 years buying stuff and no bag offer ,others no purchases history and in 3 months they get offered a bag
