Well not to sound bad, but I really do not think that SAs spend their time looking up customers to see what they are up to. I think overall what Hermes wants is for everyone to shop at Hermes, not from resellers and especially not ebay which seems to be a very taboo word with them. I honestly wouldn't worry about it. They cannot expect us not to "pop in" if we are traveling. That to me is the most fun of traveling. Just being able to see other boutiques and what they have. My SA is very honest with me and has told me that each boutique has different offerings. I feel lovely about my relationship with the SA and don't sweat anything I buy elsewhere, but actually enjoy showing the item off. The SA always ooohs and aaahs over things, without awkwardness.
