Well, that was quite the experience. This is my seventh year of Paris sales (good grief) and relative to the last two years' sales, I'd say inventory was a little better in the scarf area for non-90cm formats. The lines, however, were so poorly managed! Usually the security staff is very good about hustling people out of the scarf selection area after ten minutes so that the next group can go in, but this time around they let people linger and linger. I've never waited so long in the internal lines before!

I think my favorite find this time around was a very special Indigo Camails Kantha with rainbow stitching running through it, a sliver of which is shown here. Maybe when I catch my breath I'll take some better photos! Looking forward to going back tomorrow in the hopes there's been some restocking. By the time I got in today they were definitely out of quite a few of the 90cm patterns @DavidFincher acquired.

Well I am hopelessly addicted to this semi-annual sale now. I have it worked out how to do it from London, this was only my second time but I will be back in January all going well. I think the thing to do is get in line by around 6 am (so you are with the first bunch let in) and move quickly through priorities. As soon as I saw that they didn't have any jewellery (instead it was belts this time) I moved quickly to 90 cm scarves (so was in the first group allowed a crack at those) followed by shoes, then ties and finally other sizes of scarves. I was out of there by 10.45.

I agree with you, at one point I was like oh my goodness this is the longest 5 mins of my life! Hee hee. What time did you go there?

I rang Hermes customer service in Paris last week, they said the first day of the sale is 22 June. They said they weren't sure yet if the sale would last 3 or 4 days. Best selection (and longest lines!) are the first day. I will be getting in line at about 6 am on the first day, if there are any other early birds I would love to hear from you!

Well Done David!!! Do you go with friends or by yourself? I might be solo for the next sale

Don't be hesitant about going back to the sale; I only went on first day of the sale last year and a GM mousseline that I would have died for was available on a later day, they do restock!

Fantastic haul for me! 9 neckties for me plus one for a work colleague (limit 10 ties per customer so I had to put one that I wanted back), a cashmere/silk brides de gala 140 for me [emoji3], driving loafers in Hermès red for me [emoji3][emoji3] and ten 90 cm silk scarves to sell on to colleagues at work. A haul!!! Now on to Le Bon Marché before going home to London tonight!View attachment 3387565View attachment 3387566View attachment 3387567View attachment 3387568

Looks like you got some great stuff! I'm pleased to see so many different scarf designs this time. Wish I could have gone, but last year's heat wave knocked me out of Paris in the summer for some time! Thanks for sharing the pics!!

Wow, I haven't heard of them opening later like that before. (Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just that I didn't know about it!) Sounds intriguing...I may try that next time as I am not much of a morning person! Hope you found what you wanted!!

Wow! What did you end up getting? I'm quite disappointed with the selection of the cashmere shawls... They were leftovers from the January sale earlier this year...

Did anyone see the Pegasus Shawls?

Yes, there was a Pegasus cashmere/silk shawl in dark red and ivory, and I bought it. I didn't see other colour ways but there might be refill I'm not aware of.
I tried on this colour last year, and couldn't justify it as I got the same in blue and ivory, so really happy to see it at the sale!

Hope you find one too!
