I’ve passed through this store three times in 2022 (sorry nothing more recent than August). I’ve never seen a tpm unfortunately. Seems there are plenty of PM’s available though. I hear Terminal 1 is reopening in January, fingers crossed for plentiful stock at that boutique when it reopens. And good luck to you, fingers crossed you may get lucky.
I was there on Oct 25, looking for jewellery. The stock of silks, jewellery and even fragrances was so low it was pathetic. I didn’t venture to the leather section of the shop.
Good luck in your search!
Transited 2EL and 2EM last weekend. The overall stock was poor. I was, however, offered my choice of PMs in Etoupe and Black but I’d literally just gotten a black the week before from the website (d’oh) so I passed. I left with a scarf and the Twilly perfume gift set.
Ps I thought the SAs in M were MUCH nicer. I looked like a scrub entering both locations but was wearing my Evelyne and a couple visible pieces of fine jewelry so it was pretty clear I was there to shop but got mixed service.

I’m travelling through Heathrow T5 later this month - does anyone know what stock is typically like at H there?
I know the other UK / London H stores can’t check T5 inventory.
Just wondering if it’s worth going a little earlier to browse H!

I think it really varies. My friend who passed through T5 about 3 weeks ago got told that they get random bags delivered, completely luck dependent. She was told that a 24/24 was sold just before she arrived and all they had left was a garden party.
Thank you! Yeah I had a feeling it would hit or miss!
I was going to see if they had Chypre sandals in black in my size (I know Molly Mae got them there and she’s same size as me) but then I managed to pick them up from my usual H store in London.
Was maybe hoping to find a Herbag. I’ll leave time to have a browse but won’t be too disappointed if I don’t find anything!
Does anyone know if there is an Hermès in CDG’s Terminal 2B duty-free shopping (as of June 2023)? Or if there is one in an adjacent CDG terminal that’s accessible from 2B’s duty free area (and if so, where), should one has time to spare? Thanks for sharing!
Terminal 2B has no Hermes. 2B is horrible for shopping. There is a duty free and that's it.
2B is set up in that you go through security as per normal, then there is the duty free shop and some restaurants and the ex time lounge. Passport control is after shopping and lounge. So you have to time this to make sure you can get through passport control. There is a no 1 access line. After you go through passport control there's no shopping it is a waiting area to board the bus to the plane when your flight is ready to board.
What I couldn't determine however is if it is possible - time permitting - to get on the connecting flight bus and go to 2e or 2a and then get back on the bus to 2b. It seems possible but I didn't investigate. A guy asked something similar at the transfer desk and they told him no, but I don't think he asked the question correctly. Assuming the shopping is still past passport control I dont see what the issue would be.
American is using 2B due to the construction. Not sure for how much longer.
It is possible to take the bus from 2B to 2E, but you need to allow for time to get back. Getting to 2E is relatively quick. You need to go past gate 26 and downstairs to catch the bus. Once at 2E, its a walk to get to get to the stores. Returning from 2E takes awhile, it took at least 30-40mins once on the bus to get back to 2B (depending on how long you need to wait for the bus). The bus only runs one-way. Finding the bus to get back at 2E can get confusing, too. I thought we had plenty of time with 1 hour before boarding time. I started stressing on the way back as I didn't realize it was going to take so long. Luckily, we made it back in time for boarding then found out our flight was delayed once we reached the gate. Now knowing how much time it takes to get back, I would only go if I had at least over an hour to couple hours of free time.
