Despite the gloomy weather, today is the grand opening of the new Hermes store in Copenhagen:

True to H style, there is a line outside.
You see those 4 guys beside doorman? They are forming a queue. It was raining a bit, and one Danish woman did not want to fall in line. She told the doorman that she appreciates dry weather. Doorman told her that she could stand beside him near the door where there is no rain. Cheeky.
They were also giving away golden horse balloons.

I fell in line myself and after about 5 minutes I was let in. It was so pretty inside but unfortunately I was too shy to take pics other than the pretty floor:

Also they gave champagne to the customers:

There was a woman who greeted the customers and who reminded me so much of
bababebi, although I'm pretty sure that's not her. Probably the store manager.
One SA at the old franchise store recognized me and asked if I was looking for anything. I said I was looking for a Calvi in barenia. Unfortunately they didn't have it. Despite the opening day, they seem pretty low in stock in bags and SLGs.
The SA told me that more bags and leather goods will arrive mid-August.
There was a barenia Halzan, a bright red Bolide 31, a 45 HAC in gold clemence (I think), a Roulis in gold (Swift?), a couple of Verrous in black epsom, two embroidered mini Plumes in exotic.
It was also surprising that was there were a lot of Danes coming in and buying stuff from the store. I thought it would be mostly tourists flocking in.

That's me
Though I did not score anything, it was otherwise a great visit because an SA recognized me, and because finally we have a big, beautiful store here in my hometown. Also he spoke Danish to me so he knew I am a local, so there's that. I will beg him again for a Cityback when I return from my holidays
