IMO You are the customer and can shop where you wish without feeling guilty. In the past I have been told to just purchase where an item is available so I do not think anyone will hold a grudge! The issue here is that you may want your purchases to count at your regular store (so that it adds to your commitment at the store and hence perceived chance of a quota bag offer), then you could ask your SA to request transfer of the items you want. In theory the wishlist system in London is supposed to look beyond the purchase history in your home store or elsewhere.

I happened to finish work early yesterday, so I just thought I would browse Selfridges before meeting a friend for dinner. Once inside the store, I remembered I still hadn't tracked-down a certain H SS25 scarf. It looked quiet enough, so I went into H without an appointment. I was told I would be in a (virtual) queue for 2 hours. Due to dinner plans I couldn't do that. I said I only wanted a scarf, this is the x scarf, code number, cw# and happily because I knew exactly what I wanted I got seen straight away. It was very kind of both the host and the SA even though the transaction only took 5 mins.
Normally, I wouldn't mind at all, it takes me 2 hours to make my way around the Beauty Hall. It just struck me that with all our technology and modernity etc we are back to where we started a century ago. Appointment systems and mail order. Before department stores, most women shopped mail order through catalogues, or if they had time and money, ladies booked appointments with their wig-makers, hairdressers, dressmakers, milliner and shoemaker. Department stores were revolutionary where (mostly) women browsed, compared glove for glove and shoe for shoe and socialised, it was 'experiential shopping' before experiential shopping . Isn't it funny how over a hundred years later, we're back to online sales (mail order) and appointment only.
But without the leisure time to do this!!
You can. I have done it multiple times at Harrods Hermes tableware 3rd floor..
I bought mine at CP.
Good to know that Harrods sell single sets. I wonder why it’s different.
They are so accommodating there. I bought some pieces of Cheval d'Orient for my mother there I couldn't even in Paris.
Hello! For those of you who have attended fine jewelry events, could you please share the price points at which goods were offered? If it’s usually 10k and over, I’ll likely skip this one.
I’m never invited to anything and everything I like is over 10k 😂
But would love to hear what happens … are people offered a bag same day or within a few weeks of the event x
Limited Edition 300 pieces. Charity scarf available only in UK Hermes stores. A unique colourway, Carre 90 by 90 "En Roue Libre, King's Foundation" by Vladimir Rybaltchenko, 2025.
Hello, I wondered if anyone knows if whilst waiting for a SO in the UK your current standard 'wish' is on hold? My SA told me it is not, and I could receive another QB whilst waiting - but a friend was told it was paused until SO received - so I am a bit confused!
