Hermes boutiques in London

[sihetho]

Same here .I put my wishlist in Jan .Can't get any bags likepicotin and Evelyn's either ,had to buy from consignment store .Guess most of the stuff is given to resellers and influencers ,no wonder some of consignment stores here have brand new items with receipt .Nothing for us normal folks .

The wishlist...can it be anything you want but it's not often available in the stores and online?
For example; I would like to buy a navy blue Herbag and blue Cypre ,are they wishlist items? do you need to spend a certain amount or I can just say to my SA "I would like to create a wishlist".

The wishlist referred to here only concerns Birkin and Kelly. You can ask to set up a wishlist for either of these styles any time, no spend needed.

For the other items, it’s just a matter of luck and stock (and possibly SA relationship). Enquire at any store, if they don’t have them they should be able to check for you which store has them (this only applies to non-bag items). For bags it’s just luck.

Wishlist as gelato mentioned is only birkin and Kelly .

I’m on my third wish (2 years in) and no offer yet whilst working with SA and spending consistently so no idea if or when I may get an offer. I can only assume there are hundreds of people who want the exact same specs ahead of me since I changed my wish a few months ago.

Also think it’s strange that there is no word of a sale yet.

Regarding H sales,
I don't remember them ever being an annual of bi-annual event.
I think the reason there were two in London pretty close together was due to stock left from the various lockdowns during the Pandemic.
But I could be wrong!

Hi everyone! Long time lurker here and loved reading everyone's stories, so thought I'd share my own!

Started my first wish list at NBS in Sept 2021 (B25 neutral) and luckily connected with an SA via an acquaintance then.

As with most newbies here I feel I've went through the same woes regarding pre-spend and building a relationship with the SA, scrolling endlessly through TPF getting tips on how to "play the game" etc. Which got tiring after a while and took away the fun of shopping - NOT what you want to feel when spending your hard earned cash!

I'm not big spender and over the 2 years only bought pieces that I truly love and use daily - mainly shoes, a non-QB bag, wallets, one piece of fine jewellery (nothing crazy).
All purchases were made at the boutique from available stock.

Definitely felt the impatience growing even with non-bag items, especially with stock levels being so low in 2021-2022. I recall seeing store displays being near empty!

Life gradually got in the way so I slowed down to the point where I'd visit only every 3-4 months just to say hi and browse casually. Picked up something small (e.g. rodeo) only if there was something I liked.

My SA was always lovely in person but didn't feel that strong of a relationship with her (being a massive introvert did not help at all). I also come from a culture where business relationships are kept professional - even H relationships operate differently over there - so it took me a while to acclimatise to how things worked here!

Sadly she left H earlier this year and introduced me to a colleague, whom I've only met with once shortly after just to renew my wish list (3rd wish list, switched to K25).
Honestly at that point I've stopped expecting anything so didn't put much effort to connect with the new SA as the first interactions felt a bit forced. If it's meant to be it'll be!

Until one random day this Summer I finally got *that* email from her with an offer in my specs - K25 neutral - totally unexpected given how lax I am, and I'm still over the moon!
Total wait was 2 years.

I'm not sure if SA relationship or spending played that big of a part for me, it was probably more to do with patience and a dash of luck!

Congratulations to you, I am on my first wish at NBS due to expire at the end of the month . Hopefully I will get an email one day as I don’t have an SA , but I buy the things I like from the store through different SAs.
Please do you mind sharing a picture

Is there any news at all if there will be a sale this year?

I’ve been informed that there will be no sale this year and they’re currently unsure about future sales too

I think the reselling may have had a factor in this, along with low stock due to increased demand.
It was only the past two sales that I recall being 'public' as such as in available to ALL subscribers to a platform.
In the past I've only been invited directly by the brand and the sales were very calm without reselling teams with suitcases.

Selfridges is the place to shop for sure! My SA is amazing! he really is the best!!!

Yes definitely. Such a shame but I’m not surprised

I think resellers are ruining it for everybody. It is the same at other sample sales. To make it fair for everyone they should introduce a limit on the stock amount that one person can buy. Two pairs of shoes / 2 scarves etc
I have stopped going to the MaxMara sample sale as resellers were hoarding the coats...and this was at the opening time of the first day ...completely pointless and a waste of my time.

Does anyone know which boutiques in London carry the Hermes Apple Watch? Looking to get the series 9

NBS and possibly Cadogan Place as well.

Has anyone had any success recently getting a Constance from CP? I'm just wondering whether they've started offering it to general customers or if they are still fulfilling outstanding wishes from when the Constance was still part of the quota.
