Just unpacked my Petit H order from the European Website and am super underwhelmed... I ordered the shooting star charm and the purse/coin purse with the holes and studs. As friends and Family were interested as well, I ordered a couple of each.... and received multiple duplicates. The most "exiting" color combinations are Dark green/ Dark blue and grey/rose eglantine. Nothing like the pictures in the webshop (bright blue and red). I was never lucky getting super flashy colorways but this is horrible. I will check tomorrow whether I will keep something but so far most items have one color I really dislike and the other color is only okay. I guess I will not order Petit H from the Website anymore....
 
Hermes Sèvres store at 17 rue de Sèvres 75006 Paris France is the only one that carries petit H items all year round. Most of the Petit H items are available when they are on a tour/exhibition. They are also available on the Hermes website in Europe, USA, and sometimes Japan.

Thank you Amka. I would love to get my hands on some of those dog charms, but alas, Petit H is not available on the websites for the two countries I travel between on a regular basis. Was hoping that NYC stocked Petit H as it’s not too far away to get to! Ah well, next time that I am in Paris, fingers crossed, hopefully the dog charms will still be around!

Thanks again Amka!

You are welcome. The stock in Sèvres is totally random. Whatever is available online at the moment may not be necessarily available in the store. The two inventories are not linked. One time I was there they had a lot of Korean petit H event charms and NYC petit H event charms but nothing else. Last summer when I was there they had a lot of Halloween charms and Christmas theme charms. The SA in the store told me they receive items randomly on a daily basis, and they never knew what would be coming to the store the next day. If you ever go there, be sure to check in more than once. This way you might have a higher chance of getting something you are looking for.

Thanks for that, I had no idea there was a Hermes shop that sold Petit H items all year round.

I found ordering petit H online is always a game of chance, because you never know what color you will get. I remember a couple of years ago on the USA website, petit H was offered as a surprise box where we didn’t even know what the item was until someone actually bought it and revealed it online. It is better nowadays, since at least we know what the item is. That being said, ordering online is still a gambling game regarding color.

I would be quite upset as well if I ordered multiple charms, and all of them turned out to be colors that I don’t like. From my experience ordering petit H, I found that when I only order one copy of a design, I usually get a brighter color. But ordering multiple ones of the same design, I tend to get stuck with some dark color that doesn’t look good. I don’t know how they decide which color to send to which customers, I assume it is completely random and just depends on the person who is handling the order, but sometimes I get the feeling that they are more willing to give you a nicer color if you only order one copy of a design.

Also if I place an order right when the items are newly added to the online shop, I usually get a nicer color vs if I waited for a couple of weeks and then order it. I think when I wait, I sometimes end up getting items that were returned by other customers who didn’t like the color they got.

This is just my two cents, and I hope you have better luck ordering the next time.
