Unless you have a super strong relationship with the store
They do not entertain strangers and public when it comes to bag territory

Yes, as toats says, a good number of bags are now available online at Hermes. You won’t be able to order a Birkin or a Kelly as they are not available online. Sometimes you can walk into a store and score a Kelly or Birkin, most of the time, you can’t. However, nobody has time anymore to court Hermes salespeople and build “relationships” in order to hand over money for a leather purse. It’s ridiculous. Why should you have to buy 10 scarves and 5 wallets in order to score a Birkin? If Hermes doesn’t want your money, there are plenty of honest resellers out there who will be happy to sell you a brand new or EUC Kelly or Birkin.
Look at Anya Hindmarch bespoke or Moyat. In the case of Hindmarch, you place your order for a bespoke bag and in a few weeks, it’s yours. Period. I haven’t ordered from Moyat .
I don’t know why Hermes has created this false sense of mystery and demand for their bags over the years. I bought my first Hermes bag, a 28cm Kelly, in Paris in the 1980’s. I walked into the 24 Rue Faubourg St. Honoré store, picked out a black Kelly, paid for it, and walked out with the bag. I bought my first Birkin the same way. I suppose the aura surrounding the bags has been heightened by the illusion of limited availability. People always want what they can’t get easily. Forgive my rant, but the whole thing is silly to me.

Hi all, my SA at my local store has recently resigned and the store didn’t assign another SA to me so far. I’m trying to get a mini Lindy or Halzan 25, is it possible to place a phone order with another store? Are they willing to ship the bag to me? Thank you!
Would seem much better to continue dealing with your current store where they already know you. I'd call and ask to speak with the sales manager there. Just explain your situation, and ask for his/her help. Best wishes!
