Very belated update... My DH went to Paris, as all you wonderful ladies here suggested and...he hit the jackpot!!! He took the very early train from Amsterdam and was first in line at FSH! I gave him tons of coaching and my list of most wanted styles/colors/sizes. He can be charming and apparently he used it well because he came back with a big orange box! He did not tell me what he bought until he got back home a day later. I was dying with anticipation but unfortunately got very sick so decided to wait until I was better to open the box since it is such a special, rare treat:) well, when I felt better, We opened it together and it is a beautiful Kelly, size 32 with gold hardware!! Only thing, we don't know the color?! I think it may be the new red-- rouge grenat/grenade? Red with pink undertones. My DH forgot what the SA said the color was and then he turned in the receipt for VAT refund! We are going to call FSH one day soon, but I will post pictures (once I figure out how!) to get "expert" opinions. Thank you to all here for their advice and encouragement....pictures tomorrow hopefully!

First congratulation that you managed to score a constance and a lindy!! Mind sharing the stories with us? I was there last summer but didn't managed to score anything(there was one lindy on display but it was not something that I was looking for so had to pass). :) :)

Hello ladies, I thought I'd move our chat to the This thread [emoji1] so my SA told me that there's going to be some sort of H leather craftsman exhibition at the end of March running for about2 weeks. It's going to be somewhere not too far from the store on PCH. [emoji1]

I just visited the H Bijenkorf and the SA said its open to public and not by invitations only. She just received the info this week.

Its called Festival de Metier and its on April 1-10 near PC store. Actually at the Holland Manege.

Ther won't be any items for sale but the H craftsmen will demonstrate leather dyes, and other things. Plus there will be a KELLY demo! Which I think would be very interesting to see.

But no leather goods for sale as far as she knows!

Thank you for sharing, dear :hugs:!

Sounds interesting, but I wish there would be some Petit H. items for sale too.
I guess my best bet for them would be a Paris trip.
I would love to attend a Petit H. exhibition, but so far I never heard of one of these close to me.
