May I chime in to have a quick rant. I have been shopping at my local H store for over a year now, I've had 3 different SAs as the first 2 moved on. My profile has accumulated to about 2-3 times the cost of a standard bkc, I mainly purchase rtw, shoes and some slg. I love the things I have bought so I have no regrets and I understand that delivery is nonexistent during covid 19, but I have been waiting since August 2018 for a bag and it annoys me a little bit to see other people being offered at my local store. I'm starting to wonder if it's me =(

Understand the frustration. But can I just ask how much have you accumulated with your current SA? I heard from others that the spent with your previous SA doesn't really count in some countries/stores. Could be wrong of course. What combination are you after? Is it really specific? I find it's easier to get the offer if you give them a lot of options for your first bag.

Silver chunky chain necklace is a simple look, but when you combine it with layer chunky bracelet then it will give a boho and casual look. This look is 2020 fashion per matchedz.com, who is on Pin interest.

Maybe this means that H's emphasis on chunky chain jewelry of a decade ago will return. Anybody remember this bracelet?.

i haven't really calculated (because I just didn't want to know LOL) i would say 2 times the cost of a B30 with my previous SA and perhaps the equivalent of a bag with my current. i feel like my current is warming up, she is very helpful I am just impatient about the long wait. I am quite specific because i have a few pieces already purchased from other countries in my collection, however i have given them around 10 options/varieties. I love the things i have purchased and i use/wear them it's no problem but i think for now i will stop and just wait patiently. =)
 
Hi, I went Hermes Online to purchase the Hermes agenda refills for 2020 for my Hermes Vision Agenda Cover (I know I'm very late in getting this, but I have been using my Louis Vuitton PM agenda) and was told that all Hermes distribution centers in the U.S. and abroad are shut down due to the Corona Virus Outbreak (and rightfully so, but everyone else is still doing business) and no merchandise is going out until further notice. Bummed out right about now. I even tried secondary markets and there are none to be had. (I would take a used one that is written in right about now) I told myself that this year I would use my Louis Vuitton and give the Hermes a break... wished I would have gotten it at the end of 2019 just in case like I original told myself and completely talked myself out of it.
"J!m"

I have often read how someone wants a ombre lizard CDC and someone else says oh, there's one on H.com. But come to find out it's already sold out.
During the past 4-6 weeks, I have experienced this feeling of "now you have it now you don't."
When lime bags first came out in early 2019, it didn't occur to me to get a lime belt. Mid-year, made a jaune vif skirt and looked up belts. Lime was not to be seen. This year ordered ordered a belt in green. When I heard H resumed shipping, I looked up belts again. In that one month, April to May, lime belts had come in again and my size either got sold out or was never delivered. Plus the green belt was way too large and a smaller size was sold out. Had thought of belting a green jacket but I didn't have the jacket at the time I purchased the belt. Supposedly H will get more shipments of belts.
Sadly, timing is everything.

Thank you for thinking of me Eagle. You are so thoughtful! My work situation was resolved at the last possible moment, right before I would have needed to give notice, about two weeks ago. I was approved to continue my leave until June. It looks like that may correspond with the second wave here, but it also looks like working in a busy healthcare setting will continue to be risky for quite some time into the future in any case. Several of my close coworkers have been infected, unknown if from patients or from working in close quarters with so many others. Now I’m thinking more about the small llogistics, like how to pump milk and keep it sterile while at work. My only idea so far is to take a quick body shower, keep the pump in my car with ice packs and go down to the garage to pump. I will figure it out. I’m not ready to retire yet!
It’s funny, because things have changed so much. Both my husband’s and my departments are on mandatory reduced hours because hospital admissions are down so much. My husband’s contracted salary and benefits were reduced, where every previous year they have been increased. Our income will be down about 1/3 for 2020 and we have some of the steadiest jobs in the economy. We are lucky to still be in a fine place financially, but have so many set household expenses that luxury purchases will need to be much more intentional this year.
Good to hear from you again, Nicole. Are the schedules shortened enough that your concern about getting Covid is somewhat alleviated? Did you get some sufficient PPE? I gather the hotbed for contagion is the family. One person gets it (supposedly by hanging out) and then the rest of the fam catches it. The obits have easily more than doubled in the newspaper. Very depressing.

If being home a lot reduces your family's risk of contagion, I think in the long run (when this pandemic is over or controlled) is worth the trade off of less $$. -- I'm not implying you complained at all.

Same to you eagle! You are keeping this thread going and I appreciate it :)
Unfortunately, I don’t think that the reduced schedule will make much of a difference, because I will still be in contact with the same people three days a week instead of five. So with hundreds of people in nearby proximity coughing, eating, sneezing it seems that if someone is infected the risk of spreading is fairly high. We still do not have enough PPE at the hospital, but we have had the chance now to purchase now to purchase what we need through online sellers. We are just now getting shipments purchased 1-2 months ago through Chinese sellers, the only available source at that time, and 1/2 are what we ordered (regular disposable face masks, and the other half are random other associated supplies). My husband ordered them, so I’m not sure if he ordered based on a photo and maybe the description was different but in another language? In any case it’s always funny to open the package. One huge package was only the filters for masks, so now I will buy a disposable mask with a filter pocket in order to use these, but the really amusing one was two days ago we received a shipment and it was the huge plastic face shields instead of disposable masks! I don’t think we have a use for these (luckily!).
