Anyone going to go on opening day? It’ll be my last day in Naples before heading home. I’m going to go if there isn’t a long line. I’m interested in getting a pair of loafers!

Yes, do please report back if you end up going. It will be interesting to see what this boutique is like. I understand that there used to be an Hermes store here years ago but they ended up closing it (only to now reopen again).

The store will be open to the public, but no idea what kind of queues there will be for people who do not have appointments. I'm envisioning it could be similar to the Austin opening where the line was hours long for folks without appointments. However, could also not, so worth a try if you're in the area.
What is the best way to get an appointment? Recently moved and don't have an SA in FL and was unsure if it was appropriate to ask previous SA. Phone number has no answering service. TIA!!!

I attended the opening party last night and was unfortunately disappointed. My SA at my home boutique was very excited about the event, so I was looking forward to it. They served very light hors d'oeuvres and wine/champagne and no entertainment. There was a small welcome speech by management at some point, but that was it. The event was crowded, so I didn’t get to meet with any management or SAs. They had numerous non-quota bags and just a few quota bags out, but all for display only. There was no opportunity to shop at the event whatsoever. The store itself is one floor and is of average size, and it was difficult to get a good idea of what products they have in stock. Sadly, it was a bit of a let down.

Sounds exactly like the typical night-before preview event. There was probably an additional offsite dinner for VIP. Selling is not usually an occurrence during these preview night activities. Would love to see pictures!

Shopping will start today! Do you have an appointment?
