I tried a few things too, there are some pretty pieces. I picked out a few items but they are samples and can't be sold at this point. I can't make it to the event, but it sounds like there will be reps from Paris, which would be fun.

So surprisingly, I got the invite to the RTW event today and I'm excited to check it out! Can't wait to see the pieces and all the pics everyone here posts!
Again, Iâm looking forward to picsâŚmy SA invited me to attend the event a few weeks ago but Iâll be in NYC for work for every day of the event. Honestly Iâm surprised they asked me as Iâm not much of a RTW client except for some outerwear and simple cashmere sweaters.
I went to the event today and saw a couple runway pieces. No mod shots since the items Iâm interested in were not brought to the store. However, there was a lady who I believe is in charge of the US RTW pieces in the store. She can help look up whether any runway pieces are merchandised and she helped me order a couple items.
Btw, the madeleine and tea served today was pretty good. Thereâs a makeup artist in the store too.

I was sad that they only had the three runway looks and it was so crowded there were long waits for the fitting rooms, but, the event was fun! During my appointment I saw three bag offers including a shoulder birkin, so I hope everyone gets a surprise!
Seattle is notoriously difficult. For a size 25, expect 3-5x prespend over a year to be in the running but still require luck and charming the SA.
I have a relatively miniscule H experience compared to other long time H aficionados like @acrowcounted , but it definitely correlates with the trajectory of prespend that @acrowcounted has posted.
I donât have a B25 but I have a B30 and now K28. Theoretically those sizes are relatively âeasierâ to obtain but even with each QB, I think my prespend was about 2 - high 2 range đ¤ˇđťââď¸. Which tracks that a B25 would at the very least be 3x and more likely up to 5x.
Please be sure to only buy H goods that you love. Itâll be a much more enjoyable experience. If there arenât that many H offerings you love besides bags, reseller is a good alternative. No hate on that. Iâve bought some vintage and older preloved bags and love them equally as my boutique ones. Happy shopping!
The RTW event was cute; I went yesterday, and it was crowded all the way up to store closing, but that's ok. I went in knowing that the spring/summer color pallette really isn't my wheelhouse, but the pieces were gorgeous and now I have all the double faced cashmere on my wishlist. And the runway pieces they had displayed had cool backstories too. I did walk away with the Blue/Green cw of the Chorus Stellarum CGSM that was on my wishlist, and a glass of champagne in my belly. I hope everyone who has a chance to go has fun!
I ended up popping in on Sunday to pay for a jacket from the new collection -- H seems to be restricting the practice of sending a link for online payment so I had to show up in person. It wasn't too busy and there was good energy. I saw a mini kelly in what looked like barenia getting packaged up for a lucky customer. My fellow shoppers were carrying a variety of quota bags that were fun to see in person. I received a little goody bag with some twilly perfume and chocolates.
+1 on the double faced cashmere. I was told one of the items they ordered for me is a thinner double faced cashmere, so I'm super curious whether it's gonna be even softer.
The subtle pink color is cute, but not fitting in my wardrobe đ
We all mustâve just passed each other! I was there Sunday but it was a bit busy when I was there during the late morning. The 2 dressing rooms downstairs were constantly in use so some attendees even had to try on a dress over their clothes in the main area. Thankfully I was just trying on jackets so I didn't mind. My SA gave me a heads up that it would be busy and to wear something easy. When she saw me literally told me âoh good youâre wearing a t shirtâ đ¤Ł. Because rooms were used, bag offers were seen even in the Fj section. Apologies everyone for not posting pictures, didnât take any pictures out of respect for privacy other attendees. It was a great energy with a few Hermes personnel from Paris giving fit/sizing advice on the new collection. Petite madelines, champagne and other drinks were being served. Hope everyone who attended from 2/9-11 had a wonderful time!
Wish you couldâve been there too!
You had mentioned being in NYC for work during the event - hopefully you were able to take breaks and enjoy NYC!
