I sure do miss the days when you could just walk into Hermes and browse whatever you liked and come out with whatever you liked!

Last Thursday I went to Harrods at the store opening time and someone was offered but turned down a picotin 22 and then I went to cadogan and someone was buying a picotin 18. I think they seem to sell what they have to whoever gets there first. The website has had quite a few lately and they get released roughly between 5-6.30 daily.Does anyone know which London store would be best to try to buy a picotin 22? I've tried the Selfridges store multiple times. I have a few thousand of pre-spend from tableware, but I don't have a SA. I'm looking to buy a few scarves and wallets this month, so I'm hoping that going into store and buying multiple items could help me either find an nice SA or buy a picotin.
Oh wow. Thx. I never see any bags on the website. Will check in at that time from now onLast Thursday I went to Harrods at the store opening time and someone was offered but turned down a picotin 22 and then I went to cadogan and someone was buying a picotin 18.

would appreciate some insight into peoples experiences when obtaining their 3rd QB.
I’m not a VIP or VVIP by any means and wonder if you’ve found that you’ve had to spend a lot more to get the 3rd QB? I know generally SAs say there is a central system which allocates bags but that’s obviously not the case if you’re spending large amounts.
I’m thinking of buying a piece of fine jewellery but just wondering whether to do that in London or in Paris (I haven’t spent much in Paris but met a lovely fine jewellery SA in FSH).
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thank you! That’s very helpfulI’m waiting for a QB higher than 3rd and I’m not a vip. Normal regular customer.
It’s a waiting and spending game. FJ doesn’t bump you up the list. In fact I bought FJ in January this year and my SA said I still need wait some time as my WL doesn’t expire until summer.
Still no Constance for me in London though !
It’s a gamble going to Paris like many others have mentioned.
I wish you all the best
I bought a new belt and made a new wish list. Will let you know if and when it gets full filed. What exactly were the resellers discussing ? Can you remember?Happy Easter everyone! Visited Hermes yesterday and there were resellers behind us on the queue very openly discussing their hit-list, tactics, payment process - made me furious! 😡 They were so blatant about it. Hope they left empty handed. I did unfortunately ad not any of the items I wanted to buy. Anyone bought anything lovely recently? 😍
Yay! I was after a kelly belt in a neutral but not many options. Good luck on the wish 🤞 I am also waiting patiently and popping in from time to time.I bought a new belt and made a new wish list.

Oh - I also got offered tea and some very cute Easter themed biscuits…
Not loads of stock but might be because I went on a Saturday this time around and just before Easter - rooky error! Super nice you can pop in after your gym sesh. I live quite far away so a bit of a trek by train every time I go in.Haven't been in a while for a proper shop, just been dropping in after my gym sessions. Planning a proper visit in a week or two. Hoping they have some good stock!
My excuse is that if I walk all the way from my gym it can contribute to my 10k stepsNot loads of stock but might be because I went on a Saturday this time around and just before Easter - rooky error!
