Wait, your stores have bathrooms?!I will just be happy if the air conditioning works and the shoes aren’t in an airless attic lol
ETA: and maybe if the new H didn’t have industrial tile bathroom stalls
im not expecting a dressing room couches like chanel, but perhaps a bathroom door that closes
This! I’ve used my phone flashlight before Lmaoo
I have never seen this light of which you speakWhat, that single beam of sunlight that hits the center of the leathers department at a certain time of the day for 15 minutes doesn’t help?
Dearest 880 - it’s so fleeting. I think it shoots down from the shoe department. The last time I saw this special sunbeam was on January 21, 2019, at 1:57pm EST. I was deciding whether I wanted to get a Bolide in Vert Cypress. I had to bring the bag close to the center of the floor near the staircase. How did I know the exact date? I have a photo of that Bolide that got away.I have never seen this light of which you speak
It’s always the ones that get away. . . With your stunning talent, I’m sure the moment is immortalized in a beautiful art photo! HugsDearest 880 - it’s so fleeting.

Perhaps you could post the photo immortalizing that very special sunbeam?Dearest 880 - it’s so fleeting. I think it shoots down from the shoe department.

Sadly I don’t have one with the Bolide under the sunbeam. There wasn’t a place I could set the bag down and photograph it (the SAs would have screamed had I placed the bag on the stairs). I was also too busy turning the bag this way and that, deeply considering whether I could pull off carrying a VC bag. The photos I ended up taking were of me posing in front of the mirror with the bag. And I’m not sure if you recall but that day was absolutely frigid - I looked like a raw sea monster wrapped head to toe in winter boots, layers, scarves and oversized puffy jacket.
‘I definitely did not buy a sodding saddle or anything like that!’ 
“‘Has anyone shopping at the NYC stores ever seen Cassie Thorpe there? She’s a YouTuber from the UK who moved to NYC a few months ago and her latest video is about her getting an orange mini Kelly from one of the stores there after shopping for only 2 months. She went through her purchase history which was quite minimal and, while it may or may not be entirely true, the way she went about it is just hilarious (in a good way!)
I also love her infectious genuine excitement about the bag and how she felt at the appointment where her SA surprised her with the bag: ‘she said the boots I had ordered had come in, but when she opened the big box I only saw a small box inside, and I thought “oh god, the back office had forgotten to put the boots in the box!
Just saw Cassie Thorpe's unboxing of her mini kelly in orange PHW chevre mysore. It's honestly quite wild that she got this offer in the span of 2 months after starting to buy at H meatpacking (nyc) and only bought 2 twilly's + olympe ear cuff + blanket + fuzzy oran sandals + some travel perfumes. that's not even 3K USD altogether.
She said her SA didn't expect her to get her a bag, and a MKII at that, this quickly. She thought the NY meatpacking store is more about "whatever bags they get in go to the person that will enjoy it and not resell it" and not about "spend and you shall receive". Yeah if I got a MKII in 2 months after spending 3K I would think that too.
I hear H meatpacking is a more chill store (and I've seen this firsthand) compared to H madison but still? it must be full of extra high spenders.
I like Cassie so I'm going to give the benefit of doubt that she didn't buy it from a reseller and disguise it as store-bought (as so many of the posts here have explicitly pointed out about others). Maybe she's very memorable to her SA because of her fun personality.
I couldn't quote your quote from the other thread but I shop at Meatpacking and had a casual, candid conversation with my SA who said to take everything influencers say with a grain of salt with regards to H.

I have to admit MP was a lot friendlier and helpful to me, but their merchandise was terribly limited. They were no helpful or nice at the Wall Street Location and Madison it was crazy just to find ONE SA to assist. I do believe that IG plays a big role in their popularity and sales. I see Michael Coste always posting photos with reality stars or other asian starlets or just plain crazy rich asians - and I have no doubt it's because of their IG following - and I'm sure they get tons of perks being VIP at Hermes, too.
its interesting how everyone’s experience is so different. At MP, post Covid, DH and I could not enter even to browse, until we said, hey we shop at Madison and just wanted to look inside. The SA told us no one was available to help, so we just walked through like ghosts. The shoe area was much nicer though.
