I assume any business follows their reviews and checks on them.
It’s my understanding from Paris that many luxury retail companies including Hermes have a separate department that checks this AND goes into some depth into client research and development and profiles (Assume that an SA would not have the time or inclination to do either)
actually cross-checks with the customer database and puts a check mark next to your customer profile?
Not for all clients, but I assume for ones that the company expects to be high spending or have that potential, or have another factor that weigh favorably. (I believe that this practice is certainly in place at other companies like Dior)
k28 from the boutique. When she later checked the date stamp, it appeared that it corresponded to the stamp code for 3 years ago. When she asked her SA whether she was given an “old” bag
Given the client preference for smaller bags during and post Covid, I would imagine that a bag manufactured three years ago might not be uncommon. However, it could have been floating around H universe for awhile before coming to her particular store.
stamping methodology might depend on the habit of the craftsman.
I’ve also heard that the habit of the craftsman has some leeway, but not this particular issue. But, assume anything is possible. If an SA makes this kind of statement, I give them the benefit of the doubt bc it may simply be compliance with a company line. At any case, if I love the bag, the date code doesn’t really matter to me, but of course, this is very individual and YMMV

Hello! I am new to Hermes and only have two pairs of orans and a scarf. I am planning to start playing the H game but I am a little nervous as I am located near a competitive boutique. So, I am making a personal wishlist so I can plan out my purchases every month and develop a relationship with my SA (who I haven’t spoken to in over a year). The question is- if I am offered my first birkin down the line let’s say with 2:1 ratio prespend, does my prespend start all over again for the second birkin? So will I technically have to spend ANOTHER 20k to be offered the second birkin? So sorry if this has been ask before. Thank you!

Unfortunately yes.
 
Wife just booked vacation for us to spend Christmas in Paris. We are flying an airline named French Bee. I’ve never heard of them and wonder whether anyone has flown them before.

Suggest you read several of the reviews online. French Bee flies into Orly, if that matters
Don't want to give you a jaded view without you checking it out ( friend flew & shared her thoughts)
If you are used to traveling Business or First Class, this is a totally different experience
Enjoy your trip.. Paris is beautiful during Christmas & dress warm. It lightly snowed the other day

I've flown French Bee and they were fine. It's a discount airline in the way where you have to pay to choose your seats and for in flight drinks and snacks(if in basic economy). But the flight attendants were nice enough and it was smooth flight both times I used them. My flights to Paris were overnight so I slept the whole time and returning back I relaxed and used the in flight entertainment to watch movies. I would use them again but I am not a picky flyer.

Is it too much to wear my birkin to a kids birthday party?
Do not think it is too much. If you know the crowd & feel comfortable leaving your bag on a chair as likely many of
the invited guests will do, no reason not to, but that has to be your comfort zone.
Believe it or not there are still many out there who don't know what a Birkin is..

I think you bring up a good point. I don’t know the crowd and it will be outdoors. So I don’t think I’d be that comfortable leaving it. And then I don’t want to look too precious trying to balance my b25 and get cake for my kids. Cross body it is.
