Hermes Wishlist

[mes.joies.quotidiennes]

I placed my first wish a month ago at my Geneva boutique, my SA noted all specificities (leather, size, color, hardware) so I had to be very precise. (I’m looking for a K25) And then she asked me to give a second option for the color, she said that’s the only second option she can add to her system. Now my husband decided to create a wish as well, so he went to the Lyon boutique (in France) a few days ago and placed a wish for a B25 to give me for our wedding anniversary next year, at the Lyon boutique he could give only one option. Initially he wanted to place an order for a mini Kelly but the SA said “impossible”, and refused to even put it in the system. So I guess it all depends on the country/boutique

I'm also in Europe. I placed my wish in February. I could choose only one style/one size/one leather/one hardware (e.g. Kelly 28 togo GHW) and 3 range of colors and for each range 3 specific colors (e.g. bleu nuit - bleu indigo - bleu de france). The first one being your prefered choice. I was told to be patient - around two years. It was my first visit to the store and did not buy anything that day, just placed my wish.

I am new to Hermes, so I am not quite sure what the process is to get a B and a K. I have been watching youtube videos on how to acquire one, and most of the YouTubers mentioned the customer wishlist. When I first visited my local Hermes boutique my SA did not sit with me and fill out the customer wishlist. She had a piece of paper and she jotted down the size, color of the B and K I wanted. Is this the normal practice? It has been over 6 months and when I ask her if she has my wishlist she says she does, but I am not sure if she really does?

Not quite sure if I will ever get my dream bags, but just wanted to come here and see if you guys had a similar experience.

I recognize your experience and am curious if it is at the same store as the one I have had the same experience with (Netherlands)? although I have placed a wishlist almost a year ago (writing down the specs on a paper), I think it has been only recently that the actual request was added in the system as I checked in one of my recent visits directly with the SA

Hi ladies, what that means when my sa never created wish list for me even though I have been spending money and shop with her consistently. Thanks ladies

Please bear with me if this is a silly question, but I've read through this thread (and a few other resources online), and I'm still a bit confused by the process of creating a wishlist. I've read some here say they "made a wish" for a bag -- did you initiate this and let your SA know that you wanted to create a wishlist? Is it bad form to bring this up to an SA, or is it better to wait for them to offer the opportunity to create a wishlist? What if they never offer? I've read of some people being "invited" to make a wishlist, which makes me feel like it isn't something I should ask about on my own.
I'm very new to working with my SA, so I don't think I would bring this up so soon, but is there ever a recommended/good time to do it? I really worry about being too pushy, or coming across like I'm only in it for bags. Also, if it's relevant, I'm in the US. Thanks for your help!

Not all stores operate on wishlists. I have been buying Hermès in multiple countries - mainly US and Europe- for ten years and the only place that’s ever even used the phrase “wishlist” is London. I just tell my SA what I am looking for and my general taste in things (as in, I love Kellys, I will buy anything in Barenia, I tend to avoid Epsom) and when that changes I mention it.

Something to bare in my mind is that the wish lists only last a certain amount of time- used to be 8 months, now it's 6 months I believe (depending on store maybe). My European store is a wish list system. Both times I was specific, and both times I got the exact specs I asked for. My SA puts the Wishlist directly into her iPad. No idea if that is just for show and she has to talk it through with the SM, but I've been extremely lucky thus far. My first wait was around 4 months and the second was only 6 weeks, which was a shock!

Thank you, this is helpful to know! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I've mentioned to my SA that I would be interested in a Picotin, and they said they would keep me in mind and reach out, but they never got specific specs or took anything down in a more formal way. Reading about wishlists, it made me wonder if they were just placating me by saying they'd keep me in mind and if they usually use a more official system, but maybe that's just how my store does it!

Hi! Can you explain how wishlist works? I put my wishlist in today at the Lyon store (Was allowed only 1 bag's specifications) - If and when they contact you to let you know your wishlist is available for you to purchase, how long do you have to get to the store? My SA was saying something about needing 2 confirmations from the store..? I'm from the USA *sigh*

Hi, As with all things Hermes, I think it really changes from store to store, so not sure how accurate my experience would be as Lyon is not my local store. However at my boutique in Spain, you only get a few days to collect the bag. Not ideal if you're far away. My first bag was technically my husbands "wish" as he wanted to gift me the bag, we didn't realise that the person who makes the wish must collect it, so you can imagine my panic when it arrived while he was away on business, and they wouldn't sell it to me! He ended up flying home early, it was a very interesting few days, lol!
