A few weeks ago, the boutique had three Jige Clutch in stock. I suggest calling and asking. They also had Medor in stock as well
I saw a PM rodeo charm at the Hermes Airport Duty free last week! They actually had quite a bit of leather jewelry too, scored a leather micro rivale bracelet I couldn't find anywhere else! Was shocked to see it there!
In my experience, my friend with no purchase history was told that a Jige is a good first purchase item but while she was waiting for one to come in that she could be shopping in the store in the meantime. My other friend with a small purchase history was able to directly purchase the jige when requested as it was also in stock at the time. Timing could also factor in as well.
Does anyone have a SA they can recommend? I'm visiting in August. Also, is it worth flying out of the airport there to visit the airport store?
You can only visit airport store for international departure with a boarding pass. Airport store is pretty small. As for the SA's, is there particular personalities you are looking for? Or languages you prefer? Hermes Vancouver has very friendly amd diverse SA's. You will be in good hand with any of them.
Thanks Chica. I can take a train to Seattle or fly, and am weighing my options. Stopping at the airport store is very tempting. For the store in Vancouver, I'd be mainly looking for someone very patient to show me the new fall scarves and perhaps some jewelry. The Charlotte store shut down this year and I haven't had a chance to be in a store in awhile [emoji17]
All the SA at Vancouver store are great! Customer service and equal treatment is trained by their Store Director. It's also nice to stop at the airport store as you may find some unexpected goodies. It's a franchise store owned by global duty free so the inventory may be different. Last time I stopped by the airport store, although a small shop, they had charms that the Vancouver store did not have so may be worth a visit if you have time.
@hannahsophia: for the majority of the US departure flights, they have a US terminal at YVR, which may give you access to Hermes store. I vaguely recall i was only able to stop by Hermes store for non-US international flight. You might want to check with YVR on it. Also, the hassel of Seattle bound flight may not be worth the trouble. Its only 3 hr drive from Vancouver and considering security clearance and having to be at the airport 2 hrs prior to departure, it may take longer via air. As for Hermes Vancouver SA's, I concur with the other TPFers. Hermes Vancouver staff are consumate professionals. Any of them would be great. Damian, Paul, Chris, Carolyn, and Sookae are long-term SA's. PM me if you have any questions.
