Hermes Store in Orlando!

[PrayersandPurses]

I went shopping here on Feb. 21. I had called the store ahead to see if they had the sandals I was looking for. The SA who answered the phone was amazing and so sweet. She immediately gave me her number so I can text her. When I went into the store, it was nice to see that all the SA's were very friendly and helpful. I purchased the Egerie sandals in store, and she ordered in the Gipsy sandals for me. It's so great to be able to text. In Canada, it's only email, and I honestly hate it.

This is my home store and was there last week. She showed me four bags but can only pick one, not a quota bag but it’s rare find. My SA is amazing, hopefully I can get my first quota bag soon.

Wow! So there are bags in the back room. That's great to know. I did find it hard to believe that there haven't been any bags in 2 years. There are just no bags for me. I am sending you positive vibes and best wishes to get your first quota bag.

I live in the Tampa Bay area and have shoped at the new store in Orlando and it is absolutely wonderful.
I have been very lucky. I bought a gorgeous vert vertigo green Roulis bag that is amazing. On my next visit I was extremely lucky I was able to buy a Birkin 30 in a gorgeous gorgeous shade of dark blue.
I also got the special cavi and two twillys .
I have been in a number of stores in the past years in New York France and Italy and this is by far the store with the nicest SAs.
My SA was very friendly and helpful.
I will be a loyal customer for life.

Do you mind sharing who your SA is? I also live in the Tampa Bay Area and began my journey w them but am not feeling a lot of the love.

Oh! I didn't know we had a boutique in Orlando until just now when I saw it on the Hermes website and then Googled it and found this thread! I also live in Tampa and just made my first ever Hermes purchase while in Atlanta this past weekend (just a simple key ring). I wasn't super impressed with the Atlanta store but I might have to pop over and see how the Orlando one is!

This is my home store, as well! I have a great SA but I have never asked to create a wishlist. I am hoping that by pushing this thread up, I can get a bump on the question on how hard it is to get a QB in Orlando!!

Hi everyone. I haven’t posted on purse blog in forever! I kind of dropped off the luxury train but I’m back and absolutely excited to have this group of likeminded people to banter with =)

Anyway, I was wanting to pick everyone’s brain…I *may* be lucky enough to have convinced my husband that a Birkin should be in our future lol. What are the odds that the Orlando store would have one/would even offer me one? I have heard all the talk that you have to spend 50k+ on other Hermes goods just to be offered one…we definitely can’t do that, I’m lucky he even is considered this dream bag he definitely won’t entertain spending 50k+ on other baubles.

Thanks for being kind and helpful in advance

Unfortunately, without a healthy store relationship, the likelihood of someone being offered a Birkin is close to, if not, zero. If you're not keen on the prespending/relationship building aspect of Hermes shopping, there are plenty of resellers happy to sell you a Birkin today.

That’s what I was worried about. I don’t mind building a relationship but there aren’t a ton of other bags that I’m interested in. Perhaps I could start the relationship by purchasing some twillys and small pieces of jewelry to start? I have heard of some people not spending an arm and a leg and still being offered a bag…

I know there are loads of resellers out there, are there any to specifically steer clear of?

Hi all! New to the forum and beginning my Hermes journey. I’ve started with LV (there’s a store in our home state) but I really love the Hermes aesthetic and style.

My husband and I frequent Orlando at least 6-8x a year, so we thought this store could be our “local” store. Tried to look up recent activity but didn’t find much. Anyone have updates on prespend / availability of items at this store? I have some bags on my personal wishlist (colorful Picotins, b30) but also very much looking forward to housewares, shoes, and fun items for my husband.

Thank you for any help or insight!

I'll be visiting Orlando next month for work and wanted to see if anyone knew about the inventory there? I'm always on the lookout for exotic calvis (and have requested it at my home store). Has anyone possibly seen availability at this location?

I went in for a visit this week and they did not have much selection currently. All the bags you see in the picture were for sale. No exotic Calvis - they only had neutrals like gold and etoupe. Hopefully they receive better shipment when you’re there!

Thanks @china_doll ! Helpful to manage my expectations (which are usually "0" haha).
And good to know that they have bags on open offer, even though I'll most likely stick to my home store for those.
Although the GP30 in that pop of blue is drawing my eye...

The blue GP30 caught my eye too along with the orange Picotin cargo 😍

Just a quick report on my visit this past weekend: SAs all seemed relatively nice but very busy (I went on a Sunday). The space is on the smaller size but I thought there was a pretty good inventory of womens' shoe and fine jewelry. (My home store is slightly larger but I think we have even less inventory LOL.) There were some calvis and other cardholder SLGs, but no exotics that I was looking for - croc or lizard, but they did have 1 ostrich in craie).
There were a few bags on display and all for purchase: etoupe Picotin, etoupe Evelyn TPM, rouge H (or possibly something brighter?) In-the-Loop, and a Steeple.

And I spoke with a woman who had a Garden File - never see one in person, so that was exciting!
