Hi ladies, my husband and I had plans to go to Europe, but delta happened and we’ve decided to push that trip. We just decided to go back to Oahu for a week in September.
My mother is really wanting the Evelyne TPM. Has anyone been to Oahu lately and maybe scored or saw Evelyne TPM in stock? Also, are the two stores in Oahu the type of stores that are picky about who even gets to purchase something like a Picotin, HerBag or Evelyne?
I have a relationship with the Barcelona store, but nothing really in the states…I would love some insight as I would really like to get my mother that bag.
Also, if anyone has an SA they can connect me with, I’d be very grateful!
I was just in Oahu! I didn't ask for an Evelyne TPM so I don't know if there were any - but I think their stock for picotin 18/22, herbag, evelynes, and bolide 27 looked good in general/on display! I think the stores are happy to sell you these bags if you ask but the mini sizes are just hit or miss. I also didn't have to wait long in line at Ala Moana (10-15 min on a Sunday afternoon) and didn't wait at all at Waikiki (on a weekday around noon)
I’m hoping it’ll remain the same until I get there on the 5th of September. Do you happen to have contact information for an SA there? I would love to try and get in touch with someone that might be able to help me. Thank you so much for your reply!

Hawaii prices are same as mainland US. You might save on sales tax though.Ladies,
Was planning a trip to paris and protugal but got freaked out per the variants and now thinking about Hawaii instead. I am hoping to score a Bk or kelly and i heard hawaii may be slight cheaper. anyone know how much cheaper in comparison with washington, DC?
Thanks
Walked into Waikiki all nervous and not expecting much since we are here for less than 48 hours, but walked out with these two bags that I had never even gotten to see before IRL. SA was super friendly and now I want to move to Hawaii. Or, at the very least, come back to visit soon ! (once the island is feeling better with pandemic).1923 Bolide 25 in noir Epsom and mini 24 24 in Gris Perle, Evercolor/Swift
Congrats on the bags! I think I was at the store the same time as you and saw you looking at those bags! I really wanted a halzan but they didn’t have any. It’s a beautiful store and reminded me of BH. When I walked in, there was no line and 3 SAs available. Might try Ala Moana tomorrow.It seems like things are a little less crowded in general now in Honolulu, and at different points in the day I think the line was at most a few people. Mostly I felt like the staff was happy to help you find what you are looking for if they have it in stock and your odds go up if you are in town longer. My SA was off the second day of my visit and so it was clear that quota bag wouldn't be possible but she told me to come back again in the future and she would try to help. (Maybe she was just being nice but it still felt good!
It was just refreshing to feel like I was shopping "normally" without any hidden subtext. The store is 3 floors, so nice to see all the different stock, and I did see a lot of orange boxes being toted around. As always, I think it's a timing thing in terms of when they have received shipments, apparently one had come in just the day before.
