Hi all,

I know the stock level still seems low at most of the US stores. Is it still true that August tend to be the lowest even at the Waikiki store? I will be visiting end of August and not sure if the chance of getting a qb may be slim even for a returned customer? I just want to set my expectations right.

Thank you!

Hermes production shuts down for the month of Aug, but theres probably bags in the back if they deem you worthy.

Stock level is always "low" if the SA doesn't want to sell you a bag/item that you are looking for. If you are going there in August, just ask. You might be lucky. Maybe you'll have a good rapport with an SA, and maybe he/she can grant you your wish. The H game is a game of chances after all! Unless of course you are already an established customer with an established SA for a significant period of time---in which case I would imagine that you are already getting highly coveted offers fluidly from that particular SA/H boutique.
In August, H artisans are on vacation. That is why the production is affected. But if you SA/SM wants to give you an item, you will get that item, I believe.

Oh i should have mentioned as a return visitor (not as local), has anyone done a SO in Hawaii store? Not sure since most of the customers in Hawaii stores are visitors, is there any different rule than local stores?
Nope, there is no difference. A relationship is a relationship, all H stores have a decent percentage of long distance “home store” clients. As long as one is singularly loyal to a store, and can generally get to the store within a few days of being called, H considers them “local” clients.
