Hermès Palo Alto

[CoastalCouture]

Just popped in to experience opening day excitement. The store is gorgeous and well stocked. Lots of fabulous handbags and accessories amongst the shoppers and lookers.

This is such a special picotin (or picotin-like).
I wonder if it is still on displayed.

That's not a Birkin but a Haut a corroies, or HaC for short. It's more vertical than the Birkin. The HaC pictured is called The Way Home that's for FW18, a special limited edition item. Supposedly retail is $43-47K.

I can confirm the price is $42300 + tax

People watching was amazing this morning. From the line to get into the store, then once we were all in, the store was abuzz with activity and it was nonstop!! The bags everybody carried into the store and the stock in the store was incredible. I didn't buy anything today, but was still in the store for over an hour just checking out the inventory (rodeos galore, Constances being sold to a number of customers, and plenty of big bag boxes of Kellys? Birkins?...) and the shoppers! So much fun. Palo Alto may end up being my impulse shopping stop (because of the ease of parking and less traffic), but San Francisco will still be my home store because of my amazing SA.

Oo did you see any B/K being offered? I got a cagey answer when I asked, but then my SA readily offered a Constance.

Hi, I checked out this afternoon. Lots of amazing bags carried by shoppers, and fun to walk around. It's a beautiful store! I only got a twilly, and it was very busy!

Thank you for the correction; I have a tendency to incorrectly address the name because of how similar the birkin and the HAC look.

Pretty sure I did. Saw several large boxes being taken out by SAs with smaller boxes stacked on top and the SA doing the little head nod thing to direct their client to a different part of the store before they opened the boxes. I saw a few white paper tags that looked like Bs/Ks were in the boxes but I didn't see any more detail than that.

Saw a few Constances being opened out in the open though. C18s (1 black and 1 pink) and C24s

Are there any special scarves being offered to commemorate the opening?

No, sadly not. They did a few special items like a skateboard (hard pass from me) and something else that I have already forgotten.

 

[CoastalCouture]

Ah yes, the skateboard. Passed that up as well. I came home with a scarf though!

Seeing the crowd today, I wonder what tomorrow is going to be like, given it's a weekend! I half want to stop by just to people watch!

Sadly I was too late and missed the opening but I got a twilight photo of the outside

Nice twilight pic. I was planning on going today too, but have been under the weather all week. Probably better for my wallet anyway.

Thanks to everyone for sharing pics/commentary of the event and opening day and all the fun and splendor. I would have loved to people watch and observe H wildlife!
