Hermes Hawaii

[880]

We leave for Hawaii in 2 weeks. I am really debating on whether I should visit the stores or not. I really want a colorful b35 but my local boutique only ordered black and grays this year. I know 35s aren't that in demand now but does anyone know of someone that has gotten a b35 from the boutique?

It cannot hurt to ask have a great trip !

Honestly, I think it can hurt to ask. Hawaii doesn’t generally offer quota bags to new clients during their first vacation trip (unless perhaps they spend 2+:1, and even then…) and going in straight asking for one will likely result in an eye roll and immediate write off of a genuine relationship (especially if the client is clad in H items, making it obvious that the shopper knows the H game and has another home store).

Great point

Lol I got a lil more sense than this. I've read a lot of what not to do around these parts. I am never dripped in H. I will probably be the lady in the swin gear If I am not getting a warm sense I am not saying anything. No harm no foul. I think @880 meant is doesn't hurt to stop in. Its not my first time/vacation in HI or first purchase in the store.


ETA: if nothing else I will get pics of the store for my local SA. She said she'd like to see what the store looks like since I told her I was going. If I can't get pics either no big deal.

Good luck girl!! Hopefully you see some cool non bag items and get lucky with the B35

Also, have fun on your trip!!

You’re bringing up an interesting point- you would recommend not wearing any Hermes when going to their store? And from your experience would it be frowned upon if someone is in fact wearing H shoes/bag?

Thank you for letting us know!! Do they ship to mainland?

Yes, free shipping. Currently they are not shipping any leather goods.

I think the store knows that most shoppers are tourists and have other home stores. They don’t mind selling anybody non bag items. But just like any other H store in the USA, if you are going to hope for a quota/coveted bag offer, you are going to need a relationship and a purchase history with them specifically and they tend to have an unspoken rule that first time purchasers won’t get a quota bag until at least their second trip to hawaii (NOT their second visit to the store in the same week).

Totally agree with ya!

Thank you! I definitely will! We love Hawaii which is why I’m debating on whether I should go. I went to Vegas last month and didn’t go. If I go here it’s going to remind me of going daily again like we did in Paris and I don’t want to do that lol.

I’m no expert in h but I’m an expert at being me and reading the room. I don’t give in to the fear of, “I can’t do or look like x if I want a bag.” There’s really no right answer to this. The most important thing is be you and have fun - it’s shopping. If you are normally dripped out in H daily then do it. If you aren’t then don’t do it in hopes of a bag. There were some things that are said about what not to do in h in another country. I did and it worked out fine. I go with what feels comfortable for me. I left with a b and no appointment when others said it wouldn’t happen. I was also carrying my constance at the time. As the lovely @880 always say YMMV.

I'm going to HI next week, I plan on checking out the store, and I plan on carrying my B and wearing H shoes. I haven't been in the HI Store before, but in my experience visiting stores outside of my home store while on vacation, I may not have been offered a quota bag, but I've been offered bags (Picotin, Jypsiere). I don't go in asking for one, I've asked for and bought shoes, twillies etc, and the SA WANTs to offer a bag after knowing I will buy in different departments. My SA at my home store has always said when on vacation, of course go visit the local store, as long as I am loyal to her at home, which I am.

Gotcha. I guess my question was more around should I be mindful of what I’m wearing, if I happen to drop by the store. I’m definitely going to be wearing my santorinis and maybe a bag / Kelly belt but that’s because it’s genuinely my go tos for summer looks. And I would prefer not to plan my outfits around whether I will be going to H or not that day lol.
