Today, I went to the H boutique in Selfridges only. I asked for a strap for my kelly watch first. After checking on their system, the SA told me that they didnt have them in stock.
Then I asked for kawaii bracelets in XS size. Luckily, they had one in croc leather in stock. The price was also cheaper than I expected since it seemed hard to find XS ones, I took that one. I also ask the SA about bags. The SA told me it was quite unusual because there were not much shipment after Christmas. The level of stocks of bags was quite low at this moment. She said there will be some shipment next couple weeks. However, I'm going to leave UK tmr, so...
I will try my luck in Heathrow airport though.

The only issue with getting an Evelyne is how depleted the stocks are since the pound has dropped. Last time I was in NBS they only had three Evelyne PMs. But getting offered one isn't hard if they have it.

It has been like his for some time now, very little inventory
NBS try to sell for regular customers and foreigners but I guess it's harder for them to accommodate everyone,
If you have a layover at Dubai or Doha airports try their Hermes concession too, friends have always been very lucky on both stops

Thanks for the reply and advice!
Things turned out that I had no chance to visit H boutique in LHR airport because I didn't have time for it.
However, my flight was at 8ish PM, so in the daytime, I went to Harrods with my family and friend. Finally, I found the straps I wanted for my kelly watch! They have more to choose in this boutique! Since it was hard to choose from noir epsom and etoupe swift, they both looking good with gold hardware, I took both. When we saw the etoupe strap, my friend said she always wanted a bearn wallet in etoupe. We asked the SA if they have one in store. She checked with her iPhone. There was one in stock!! After waiting for 10 minutes, she came with an orange box, which was still sealed. It was a brand new bearn wallet in etoupe and silver hardware. It was so beautiful! My friend said she had hunted it for a long time. She was so excited. She never thought she could have one.
Then I asked for charms and rodeos. The SA said she only had pompom at this moment. Then I asked for the silver kelly lock charm necklace displayed in the store. The length was perect for me but I thought it would be great in gold, too. After checking in their system, she said they had other designs with diamonds. There was one constance charm with diamonds. She took it out from storehouse. It was so beautiful and well-made. It was really hard to take my eyes from it! However, it costed like 5700 pounds. Currently, I'd like to use this budget for bags, so I declined it. I should asked for bags at this time but I didn't have time for it because I had to do tax-refund in Harrods and went to the airport. Therefore, this was the end of my orange hunting story in London.
To sum up, among these boutiques in London, surprisingly, NBS had the least inventory for what I was looking for. Maybe, that was because I visited in the afternoon and they had more customers than other stores. Things sold quickly. If you are looking for jewelry, wallets and accessories, I would recommend Harrods. They have abundant inventory. They also had more bags displayed in store. Though they were not what I was looking for.
In the leather department in NBS boutique, there was almost nothing on it. SAs were all very nice in these boutiques!
I met an arrogant SA in NBS Chanel... Except SAs in Paris, other Chanel SAs in Okinawa, Macau, my city- Kaohsiung I met were all quite arrogant. This is why I love Hermes because most SAs are nice and friendly.
Thanks for taking time to read my story. I hope I will have something to share with you soon. Maybe I will posted some revealing photos on the thread, "What is your last Hermes purchase?"

I was in London a few months ago, my best experience was at Harrods.... Daisy is a doll!!!! she goes out of her way to help...nicely impressed with their selection as well.
Would recommend visiting weekdays as early as possible

Harrods and selfridges are both amazing! I always find what I want there, although many people disagree with me, and are always disappointed, guess timing is very important,
Watch straps are well stocked at the Sloane Street store, and the London flagship store is on Bruton Street, Mayfair.Today, I went to the H boutique in Selfridges only. I asked for a strap for my kelly watch first. After checking on their system, the SA told me that they didnt have them in stock.

Very unlikely that you will get one, but Harrods sells to non-specific clients.. if you are not from London, but travels there often, "mark" a senior sales at one of the store, and get his/her contact (business card) then you can email him/her your wish list, before travelling and get to know what they have in stock. I do this in NYC and MONTE CARLO, and I get some very good pieces. However, having said that, Hong Kong might be your best bet to get a K or B, they are quite well stocked and will be happy to just sell you one upon asking. NYC 691 Madison Ave has a secret B&K room hidden behind cream colour padded wall on the ground floor. I got exactly what I wanted on my second day there. I have never shopped there before though. Good luck.
Yes
Moreover I went to a couple of places in Europe. I bought other stuff before asking for a bag. I spent around 5k in each shop.. I should have consolidated my spending but some of the shops didn't have what I wanted. But I still didn't manage to get k or b in the end.
definitely no, if u were to walk in and ask for a k,b.

Had the rudest CUSTOMER in NBS last week. I was sitting at a jewelry table with my SA, drinking water, looking at some jewelry, and chatting, in a little nook near the back room. CLEARLY busy. A woman who was waiting by the back room door for something to be brought out kept leaning in and collaring my SA. "Excuse me...?" and my SA would look over, smile and say hello, and turn back to me. This woman must have tried to "snag" my SA three or four times...while waiting for another SA who was already serving her and while my SA and I were in deep conversation. It was truly unbelievable.
Hi ladies - any of you who has been invited to Sloane's reopening?
I have been officially told today! I hope I meet some of you there
