Thanks, youse guys! I am on a ban, sort of, plus I doubt I'll be invited to the opening, so I will hang back and see what everybody thinks of the new store and some day. . . . BAM! There I'll be! I will miss the boutique at Mitchells, though. It was such a nice, no-pressure place to talk Hermes.

I won't be invited to the opening either. I'm a UIP.
The Mitchell's boutique will still be open in Westport. The one in Richards has already closed and Loro Piana is going into that space.
That *is* good news.....now if only they'd open a boutique at Marsh's, their 3rd store (8 minutes from my house). I don't see why, if they can have the counter at Mitchell's which is not far from the Westport boutique, they can't have a counter at Marsh's, which is probably just as far from the Americana boutique.
Mindy!!^^^You both are sweet; thank you. I have actually seen both of you gorgeous gals IRL, and you are WAY more put together on a daily basis than I am on my best day. But I could follow behind you and carry your shopping bags!Seriously, Greenwich scares me. Once my DH and I crossed the street there on our own initiative (it must have been a safe move, because we both survived and weren't arrested or ticketed or anything), and a gentleman (not a policeman, not any authority figure, just a passer-by) stopped us on the sidewalk to inform us that "It is customary here in Greenwich to await the permission of the traffic officer before crossing the street." Yup, we were publicly shamed by a complete stranger for not knowing the behavior codes of the Greenwich main street. I have never felt comfortable there since that day. I know, I shouldn't have taken it seriously, but honestly! What an experience.
You dear woman! I am certain I would have laughed! As a west coast person- CA and AZ and time in TX and CO the whole East Coast code is completely lost on me. I don't even know enough to be offended. I would have laughed not at him but because I would have thought he was kidding- a good humored joke on his part--you should see the pedestrians in Chicago swarm intersections around cars-those Greenwich peace officers would have a mass coronary at the sight of it. Absolute chaos and disorder- makes NYC look regimented!
If you get invited you go! Your charm and wit will be a breath of fresh air!
I don't think it's up to Marsh's (the Mitchell family) as to whether they can open a concession. Hermes determines it. Just before the Richard's concession closed, Jack Mitchell told me they tried to work out something with Hermes but just couldn't. (Jack and I are BFFs
) Frankly, I'm surprised Hermes would allow the concession at Mitchell's to stay.

Thanks for the info. As usual, the are no hard and fast rules! I do love Marsh's, and the head of the women's dept there used to be the SM for Hermès Americana
Maybe she can pull a few strings
That's what I had been hoping, but at the very least, she speaks the "language" and can transfer things for me.
I just got my invitation to a party at the new Greenwich boutique! 
So now we know it will be open by the 4th. I don't know if there will be a party BEFORE the store actually opens it's doors (maybe this one is it). Let me know if anyone gets any other invitation. I'm VERY excited!!
