Whoops, i may have said something publicly that will be picked apart and scrutinized :smile:
Oh well, it would not be the first time, nor the last!

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I'm just not in the mood at the moment for a huge discussion of Hermes politics. It's a touchy subject.

I think it's highly possible that they secretly tag us with microchips like dogs once we are properly indoctrinated to the brand.

LOL! Yeah, include me in both of those groups: maker of pick-apartable comments and taggee with an Hermes microchip. And coiner of non-word words, apparently.

Capri, I responded to you privately. I'm sure that anything that I say will be picked apart and scrutinized if I say it publicly. It's really obvious when you see the regular Hermes customers at fsh. We look the part. And it has nothing to do with race.

But surely the regulars look the part by carrying and wearing H "do-dads." (There is a perverse sense of pleasure I get from calling their stuff "do-dads." But I own a goodly amount of these "do-dads" so I guess the yolk's on me).

Neologism. The coining of new words per the dictionary. I finally looked that darn word up after years of not being sure of its meaning. And the dictionary is not talking about a psychological condition in the context of that particular definition. Do we need a new thread called "Neologism Chat" ?

Sure. That's part of it. But as you can imagine lots of people throw on a scarf to look the part.

PBP, do the FSH regular clients have to line up as well? Including the second line up for leather?

I was at FSH last summer, and went mid-afternoon, as there was no lineup outside. Wasn't interested in bags at the time, (I know!) so only got a clic, scarf and ring. The SAs were attentive, but some other customers were very pushy, aggressive and loud at the scarf counter. I love my clic and wear it a lot, but sadly, my blue Maison d Carres reminds me of the awful customers more than anything else of that experience.

Does that determine whether you get a bag or not? I guess I'm puzzled by the mystery here b/c I know the brand -- the vocabulary so to speak -- and I have lots of do-dads and a bag or two.

In my experience, not really. I only own two H bags(a garden party which i purchased and i K that i got from my mom), but i never carried either in an H store, even when i was asked if i wanted a K or a B.

The stores have records of purchases across a country and FSH has it worldwide. I think there IS a science behind it, but they make an exception now and then to make us think it is all a mystery :-)

Or maybe i give them too much credit!

Hi, everything is new with this new system but yes when I was there last spring everyone had to line up. It really wasn't that bad. I like looking around at the things on the walls and in the cases. It went quickly especially with myh there to talk to. I try to go in the off season and I avoid events like fashion week. That keeps the lines shorter. I don't know how I feel about lining up at 8:30 in the morning on the sidewalk. That might be my breaking point. I'm not sure I'm up for that. I'm going back in November so I'll report back.

I could not line up at 8:30 in the am for a 10 am opening. How is access to the other H stores in Paris.
