Hermès Petit H

I ordered the petit H pleated necklace from the US website last week. The Fedex tracking showed the box being put on the truck for delivery - then all of a sudden, the tracking showed the shipper (Hermes) told Fedex to return the package to Hermes!

I was worried there was some problem with my CC, or my address. I called the 800 number and found out that Hermes Paris had made some sort of error when identifying the necklaces. I had purchased a blue necklace, but a pink one had been shipped out to me. Hermes USA found out about the error and had to "recall" many necklaces. They are waiting to get a blue one back to send out to me.

So...if it ever arrives, I will post some photos. :smile1:

Did anyone else buy a necklace from the US website?

This is so interesting that this happened to you and others as well. I ordered the blue one on Nov. 2 (long version) and I received the red/pink/orange one. I love bright colors, so I decided to keep mine. I thought something was up when I opened the box and saw the petit h leather tag in pink.:p Actually, I am excited to have ANY color. This months Departures magazine features petit h!! The cover of the magazine is the L'Art du Temari silk scarf! So pretty.

I think you are lucky to get one! :p I am still waiting for my blue. I called yesterday and they told me they won't have a blue one until next week.

It will definitely be worth the wait! I am always on a quest for blue H scarves and have very few in this color. There is always something I want! I was really surprised at how light weight this scarf necklace is. The guarantee claims that if the pleats loosen up, it can be sent back to H for re-pleating. The Departures magazine describes the process on how these necklaces are made. I assumed they were from already pleated scarves like "left over" plisses. Instead, they sew a section of scarf around a tube which resembles an old fashioned spiral telephone cord, press or steam it on this "mold" which creates the pleats. The thing I loved about ordering from H.com is the surprise element in not knowing which pattern you get. Funny thing is, I never expected TWO surprises...pattern and completely different color scheme!:laugh: Anyhoooo, I am a happy camper.

That's interesting about the pleating process! And it makes sense, from how the pleats look in the photos.
 
I went to NYC last weekend and stopped off at Madison Avenue. There were some really beautiful items on display. I went for some functional items. The matte croc bracelets are really cool and I could not resist the necklace. The fifth box is a small lagon box bearn card case, but I got that in DC.

Ty! I was wondering about the sizing because I am usually on the big side of a small and the small side of a medium (if that makes sense) and the silk bracelet I received (the toggle one) just fit me. I wish I could try it on to see.
 
congrats on your loot eb .. don't you just love that they trimmed alongside the scales and made them center stage :p ..

I have average wrist and the doubles were huge too so I tried to use them for the tea/coffee cozy since they were sold out lol .. I think the doubles were 800/880.

They were $570 each. But what's really nice is that these were in small sizes. I have tiny wrists. They did have some doubles, but they were huge on me.
 
At $50 a pop they'll probably sell out quickly. They seemed like great holiday gifts but most of my friends have no clue about Hermes. If they knew what I spend in that store they'd probably put me in a straight jacket and have me committed.

:weird:
