Hi everyone,
I’m new to Hermes Singapore and wanted some advice on a recent purchase.
I went to Hermes Liat Tower for the first time today, intending to purchase a bag strap for my Kelly Retourne 40 (a gift from the husband some time ago). I loitered an hour before they informed me that it was my turn, so I decided to maximise returns on time by purchasing five scarves of varying sizes and colours and asked about wallets (which they informed me is not in stock - men's or women's). Seeing other shoppers viewing bags (Evelyne and Roulis), I asked if they had the Lindy and Constance in stock. She checked and replied no, but if I wanted a cross-body bag she had one in stock. She brought out the Halzan 25 in Bleu Lin and did a walkthrough of the four ways to carry it. I thought it was cute so I bought it.
Just before she rang up my purchases, she asked whether I was keen on indicating my interest in the Constance and Lindy and my preferred choice of colours. Not having perused this thread before my visit, I took it at face value and told her I was after the Constance 18 or 22 specifically and also the Birkin 25 and 30 in muted colours, just not brown or black. She seemed to have input this into the handheld device which I had used to register my particulars, but I cannot be sure cos I wasn't paying attention then. So my bill today came up to about $12,500.
Now that I've read through snippets of this thread, I've got so many questions. Would buying the Halzen have delayed the acquisition of the Constance and / or Birkin since there is a bag quota, I gather? And also, was her question about interest in bags an indication that I am genuinely in contention for the Holy Grail(s) of bags?
I do intend to shop a little more over the coming weeks - husband's birthday is coming up, and I'm considering some homewares as well. So I wanted to seek your thoughts and guidance on what my profile-building strategy should be.
Thanks so much in advance!
