DDsaurus went early this morning to a gigantic sale at REI, the hiking outfitter. People had camped out and lined up really early. But indoors was not organized at all. She kept comparing the experience to going to the H sale this July in Paris. "At H, they NEVER would have allowed this"...." "At H" this and "At H" that. It really made me laugh!

I have been attending Hermes Paris sales for years. Some of my experiences have been outrageous. From seeing people almost trampled, seeing people pick pocketed, observing ridiculously rude and unconscionable behavior--it runs the gamut. Security and safety has improved the past couple of years, I'm happy to say.

The Christmas decorations are amazing. I usually go toward the end of the month but this year I might be too early to see the decorations. Even at the end of November it is usually a bit crisp but not really cold. Of course that's all relative. I live in New England so I have developed a tolerance for cold. Usually it means that I have my pick of the outside tables [emoji23] I am already getting excited. I really need to break.

Having seen this discussed on other threads my best guess is that only recently fsh can see worldwide shopping history. This has not yet been rolled out in the US so they can only see US shopping history.

Great photos Madame. Beautiful horses.

Oh, when they say you can only buy a Birkin once in 6 months, I'm told it's not a calendar 6 month, but once a season. But then as someone else said the rules are often broken.

Yes rules are meant to be broken at Hermes.

Yes the skirt has silk between the pleats. I'm getting over it. It's too expensive to justify even in Paris where it's probably 30% less. Still about $5600. I'm sure they will make more leather skirts in the future.

Ummm, I know it wouldn't be proper to ask your exact location, but which continent on you on?
In my neck of the woods, H never ever has anything on "sale". Yes, yes, H rules are meant to be broken, so anything is possible.

Hi cafe!
It's been a busy and fruitful day! My tennis bracelet came in and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Then, I dropped by the boutique and they have several 90cm scarves on sale at 40% off! I got the ceintures et liens in anthracite/prune/violet and astrologie nouvelle in vert/jaune/bronze.
Finally I decided to wash my scarves today! They're still on the drying rack as of the moment but I will steam press them later :smile:

@Pocketbook Pup just FYI that RTW is 50% off during Paris sale. That said, sometimes by then one has moved on from the item (which seems to be the case with you). There's always racks of RTW at the sale with not many folks perusing the items unlike the scarf/ties or shoes sections.

50% off. Holy moly!!!

Anything else significantly discounted?

Scarves/ties are around 40-45% off retail and everything else is around 50% off. Items go on sale 2 years later, e.g., January 2017 sale will be items from S/S2015. That's the general guideline although I've seen one off current season item at the sale but like all things H, there's no rhyme or reason. Expect majority of sale items to be from 2 years past is a good rule. You can find January Winter sales here and June/July Summer sales here.

I think they spray something in their boutiques that makes you want to return time after time to give them all of your money.

Yes they spray lots of that stuff in the air!!!
