This year is particularly tough for Hermes Waikiki.
I have been working with a lovely SA since 2020, who has gotten me a C24, B25 and C18 in past years–all in neutral colors with rose gold hardware.
I was unable to get anything this 8-day visit, even though I have spent over $20k in fine jewelry, RTW and homeware since my last bag. This is the only US boutique I shop at, and I never buy any other bags or small leather goods.
I’ve been waiting since the first half of 2022 and have visited Waikiki three times since then for a week each time, but no luck.
Fortunately there’s a lot to enjoy in Hawaii and I plan to be a long-term Hermes client, but the wait has been long indeed.
