**Hermes Chat**

I have a problem. I’m not sure where to post it so I’m posting here. I was just going through my receipts, trying to document purchases of bags and jewelry for insurance purposes etc. I noticed on the receipt for when I purchased the Heure H watch back in early October that there appears to be an extra item for $1650 that I don’t believe I bought! When I got the watch, I also purchased an extra band to switch out. When I checked out and saw the total, I remember thinking, oh wow that band was a lot more expensive than I expected! But of course I was chatting with my SA as I was checking out, stuck the receipt in my bag, rushed home and literally forgot all about it. I finally dug up the receipt today and noticed this extra line item. It says Pink Gold Simple Buckle for Glissade $1650. I tried to Google this item and I think Glissade is another style of watch?? I’m sure it was unintentional but this is so awkward… and of course I feel so stupid for not looking at the receipt more closely at the time. How should I approach my SA about this error??

So I wanted to update my saga. I texted my SA yesterday and asked her nicely about this charge. I said I noticed this item on the receipt that I don't recognize, can you look into this, is this an error? She texted me back very promptly and explained that this was the buckle for the extra strap I got for my watch! So I guess the leather strap itself was $300 but the rose gold buckle for it was $1650!!! (like is this solid gold or something??) Wow! I mean, the Heure H watch I got came with a white alligator strap and was $4675 total, so I was surprised the buckle for an extra strap was 35% the cost of the entire watch! Anyways, note to self, always ask about the buckles from now on!

Then she asked me if I still wanted the silver Galop bracelet I had tried on last week. And of course I said... of course!

Does anyone know what's going on with Hermes Canada website? For the past few weeks there has not been any bags or any SLG released on the site. What's going on? Loll .. I heard there will be an increase on Hermes bags in 2023, wonder if they are pausing to sell so when the price increase they will finally release some bags online?

Hi @LuxBuzz. Pardon my words but the Canadian website is total crap! I posted on Hermes.com that the only thing you can find under bags are a bunch of straps . And yes under SLG there are only agenda covers. The Toronto store isn't any better imho.
Hmm maybe so? I wonder how much of an increase it will be? The only time the webite had plenty of bags and slg's is when stores were shut down due to Covid.

When do u start asking your SA if you are qualified for a wishlist? My SA blatantly lol said I wasn’t qualified yet even after $4k of spending post- quota bag. I’m not gonna lie, that made me a little sad and discouraged. I appreciate the honesty but I was also disappointed. Hopefully I will be able to buy a piece of jewelry or watch to get there.

Huh? Might depend on your SA, city and the clientele.

If your wishlist pertains to another quota bag, then maybe that’s the case of the need for the build up. If it pertains to watches, scarves or shoes, I will be surprised.

I am ready to purchase my first Hermes bag and really want to buy it in store! I have no purchase history with Hermes. I’m traveling to NYC, Orlando, Dallas, and DC in the next 4 months. Which city / store do you think I stand a chance at getting any offer from? I’d love your insight! Just trying to research (and prepare myself for disappointment lol).

where did you end up purchasing? i am the same . i do not have an hermes near me . i live in northern florida so i guess i will use orlando as my store . i’m trying to decide as i travel all around but am hearing i need one sa to use regularly. i am most often in dallas but i feel maybe that one has soo many customers. thoughts ??

I apologize in advance if I am asking in the wrong thread but does anyone know the name of this bag? This is a photo in the September issue of Town & Country Magazine. View attachment 5599913View attachment 5599935

Omg I think that’s the new In the Loop bag!

So I’m packing my hospital bag for baby #2 in a month or so, should I pack a hermes Avalon blanket? I don’t own one yet but would like to get one for my home anyway. It will make me feel so comfy and so luxurious to labour and recover in a hermes blanket ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on your new baby. I personally wouldn't bring any expensive things to the hospital. I totally would recommend buying the blanket (I have 2 of them and love them), but leave it at home waiting for you.

Thank you! You are right, I better bring a cozy bamboo blanket for the hospital and come home to cozy up to the hermes blanket!

Hi All! I’m new to the Hermes sub forum. I know it’s quite a science to be able to buy one of the Kelly bags, so I thought I’d see if you ladies had any kind suggestions.

I don’t own any Hermes bags yet, but I’d like to get one of the smaller Kelly sizes to celebrate my wedding and end of breast cancer treatment. I’m not in a rush, I know there’s also a lot of patience involved. So, any advice? Is it even worth a try? If it helps, I’m located in the Netherlands.

Thank you in advance!

Congratulations on your wedding and ending your breast cancer treatment I pray that you are blessed with good health and happiness . I am in Canada and although I don't have a Kelly it took quite a bit of spending to get a Birkin. But I love many things Hermes so I was okay with that. If it's just the bag you want and know exactly the size & colour you want, I would go through a reputable reseller like Fashionphile. You can buy one brand new. You will probably end up spending the same amount of money. Whichever route you choose, I sincerely hope you get exactly what you wish for. God speed

Thank you for your kind thoughts and reply! I am very fortunate to have caught it early, there are many many women who have a worse time. But it is time to celebrate life!

You’re right about the resellers- I’m just afraid of counterfeit because I don’t really know what to watch for…

Amen to that . I actually had the pleasure of visiting the Fashionphile boutique in NYC. They are legit. I live in Canada, and there is a consignment shop where I purchased an Hermes Evelyne tpm brand new.

Hello, and congratulations on ending your treatment and wishing you (and your new husband) the best of health and much happiness in the future.
I would second going the preloved route.
Fashionfile as previously mentioned are trustworthy there is one called Ewa Langan (I think?) In Germany I believe who is also reputable
somewhere on the forum there is a list of reputable re-sellers including ones in Europe.
Good luck XX
