Thank you! I am from the US and was there for Christmas and the New Year.
Hello!
I’m going to be in Amsterdam 24th - 26th February! It’s my first time visiting Amsterdam and the hotel I’m staying at is the next street to H Hooftstraat. Would anyone be open to sharing their SA info? I’m particularly interested in another Herbag 31 and more shoes. Due to how short my trip is, if I could make contact with a good SA perhaps I can schedule an appointment beforehand.
Many thanks in advance!

Last time I checked earlier this year my local SA told me that they continue to not take individual appointments and it is “first come, first served”. This has been the case since last summer. Perhaps there are exceptions for VIP clientele but I wasn’t able to confirm this theory. Curious if others have different experience though.
Hi!
Thank you for the information - that makes a lot of sense! Hopefully I can pick a good time to go where it is less busy
I just came back from there last weekend. I went into H on Saturday and was told they did not have any bags (I asked about Herbag in Chai too, so not just quota bags). The SA was nice but said they do not receive stock on the weekend.
I saw someone in the leather area collecting a B so I assumed it was a local client. Saw another probably local client leaving with something leather related (she was carrying a beautiful B in gold) - looked to have a good relationship with many of the SAs hence why I assumed local client.
I was told by someone else that if you are a regular enough tourist (as in visit often and have a relationship with them) you may get offered bags but it’s the same way you would have a relationship with your home store I guess.
Hi all, question for those who’ve flown out of Schipol. Customs there opens after my departure time so is there another area I can get my VAT return there? Thanks! (Please move if this isn’t the right thread…)
PC Hooftstraat is the (significantly) bigger of the two. It used to be that they both had pretty good stock, with the Sales Managers buying slightly different stock, catering to a different audience. Nowadays, it may be PC. I've not been there for a while as the Bijenkorf store has been my go to in the last years but I've noticed they've been kind of lacking in the last year or so. If you are here long enough to try both, great. And each store can see the stock at the other. Maybe try PC first (but beware they have longer lines than the other boutique).
Hi Tracy,
Did you have any luck this year? I just received an email that I won’t be able to make a wishlist this year…. Its the start of April, so I guess I have to try my luck next year in January
I’m not Tracy but as a local I tried to put a wish in De Bijenkorf last month, after spending with that store since the summer. The situation was pretty odd: I was served by trainee who told me that the wishlist is now open and I can put my wish. As she struggled with her phone, she went to the back of the store only to come back and say that I will hear from them if “the planner” decides I’m eligible. Needless to say, I’ve never heard back.
I have a short layover at Schiphol Airport and I was wondering if the Hermes store at the airport carries any bags such as Evelyn or Picotin. Anyone happen to know?
I was there a couple weeks ago and they said they didn’t have any after buying a pair of Orans
