no i didn't..
i was really drooling over the brown (forgot which shade) croc Lindy but the price was way out of my budget... and i had just got a shoulder kelly from singapore...
DH was kidding that i could get the croc lindy and box kelly but i would have to kiss my savings bye bye.. LOL ....:salute:
i'm still on the lookout for a croc / ombre kelly dog though..
Hi there! So you managed to get a Kelly in Singapore? You mean at the airport? I am so surprised! You must b a v lucky gal.
hihis celeste
oh..no i didn't get my Kelly from the airport..
prior to my trip to Japan, I gave it a long thought on whether i was prepared to pay +20% higher prices for a shoulder birkin/kelly..
and just before my trip, i decided to go with a brand new shoulder kelly from a reseller.. so that took care of my bag cravings...
but still didn't stop me from looking at the Singapore / Japan airport/local Jap boutiques..
i'm pretty new to Hermes but from what i've read in the forum, it seems like the DFS at airports/even DFS singapore in town don't ever have kellys or birkins..
fellow tpfers.. pls feel free to correct/educate ,me.. i appreciate any knowledge sharing...

hey excited_newbie,
its true, there is no sighting of birkin and kelly in the H stores in Singapore. At least, not that i know of. But in this same forum, i heard that people do see some high-end birkin such as those with diamonds at the H store located at Marina Bay Sands. How many people can actually afford that?
I noticed that there are many resellers in Singapore, but i also heard of some horror stories from friends who bought fake ones online, unknowingly, of course. I wont dare to say i can correct or educate you
, but i always go to Paris once a year for my yearly dose of H bags. But i did get one from the local reseller. After seeing your shoudler birkin, it makes me seriously considering of buying one! Lucky gal!
Hello, I travelled Geneva-brussels-Geneva today and visited both H stores. I am a newbie so you will have to excuse my limited knowledge of the names and colors
Geneva airport has quite a few bags (picotin, evelyn, garden party) and also a beautiful herbag black and braun. They had CDC (red and blue, PHW).
Brussels had less bags, but CDC in black, grey and white (all PHW).
I couldn't resist and got myself a rivale to start my collection
(there was a big price difference and obviously the current Hermes prices in Switzerland are way above the EUR prices, given the current exchange rate)

hi celeste..thanks for the info! yeah you are so right.. where would we get the cash to purchase jeweled Bs...
Btw do u get to be shown / purchase a B or K for your trip to Paris everytime?
i hope my question doesn't come across as tacky since i've been reading posts about b & k questions turning off seasoned H lovers..
Also.. i got a shoulder kelly..not shoulder birkin.. don't have much luck spotting a shoulder birkin around since it's supposedly rare?
(would love to post a pic in my avatar.. but still waiting for dh to take a nice professional looking pic of it..
)

Out of my three trips there I only managed to get a B during my first trip and the remaining trips were unfruitful. IMO that shop is the most stressful place on earth! Hehe. There is simply no guarantee that you get one.

i see!thnx so much for sharing
i can imagine the roller coaster of emotions (hope,excitement,then having to settle for other available stuffs instead) experienced, along the walk into the mothership definitely not for the faint hearted ...
Stopped through Amsterdam airport and they had decent selection on shawls, bags and shoes! Picked up an evelyne ( dark brown- not sure bout color) but the SA was super nice, the price was incredible and the tax deduction were reason enough for me to buy her! They are also stocking up more heavily this summer...

Yup, it's in terminal 5 - you get the shuttle train to it. There are maps around the terminal showing boutique locations - the H is right by one of the gates but I can't remember which one. Stock is ok, but lots of it is not on display so you need to ask to see things.
