That is what I ordered bluewin! I didn't see any Birkins on the shelf but there were certainly Birkins being brought out while I was there. Tons of other bags though. Lots of color choices too.

I did see a lady carrying a very beautiful orange Kelly Flat. It was so pretty. There were alot of people in the store on Friday afternoon and we went back on Saturday morning and it was packed.

We had a wonderful time in Paris and London. Perfect weather the whole time. Very fun trip.

Update on my original questions regarding SO's at FSH!!!

Just returned from my trip last night. Headed to Paris from London via Eurostar last Friday. Checked into the hotel around 4:00 and immediately headed to Hermes. Walked in and looked around to find an SA who looked friendly and not busy with another customer. Took 2 times around the sales floor and then I spotted a lovely SA with a sweet smile. I approached her and told her I was looking to place a SO as I wasn't able to in the US. She asked me what I was looking for and told me to wait a moment and disappeared into a back room.

She came out carrying a white book and told me I could place my order. I think I went into shock at that moment. We got all the details written down and then she told me the bag would be ready in about 12 months. I thanked her profusely and walked out of the store in a daze. Did this really happen on my first day in Paris, with the first SA I spoke to? She gave me a card with my order number on it and I just stared at it the rest of the day. I was only in Paris for 1 night and my dream came true. What a perfect trip.

So.........I guess it really can happen to just a regular person after all. She made my day and I am still pinching myself. Oh my gosh :yahoo:

I did see several other people placing SO's as well. I guess it is still so hard to believe, that it won't seem real until they contact me to say my bag is ready.

I just wanted to share my story with all of you who were wondering about SO's and hoping to place one as well.

I am in Paris and flying home tomorrow! let me report my H shopping now.
I left Paris Orly airport at 1710 and immediately took a taxi to hotel and check in. I successfully made it to H at 1810. The first SA i met turned down my request and I walked around and look for another SA. The second SA (asian girl) actually turned me down then I said why other ppl are ordering but I can't? She said I can't make a PO, then I said I can order a SO, she then said ok. When I said I want it in cherv she turned me down again. I had no choice and told her frankly I am pregnant and won't be able to fly to Paris in the coming 2 years. So, she tried to ask her manager and returned with an OK~~~t but can't gaurantee when will it be ready.. maybe 3-5 years. I don't really care how much time i have to wait.. i know my unique birkin is coming one day.. that's enough, right?

I didn't make any purchase at that time and hold her up till 7pm. When I left the store, I really can't believe if it is true! I really hope to receipt their call soon to make it real.
Will definitely do a reveal by then.

eewawa, perhaps your SO will come in much sooner than expected. Did you order something that you will love even though it isn't in Chevre? I hope you had a wonderful time in France. Did you see a lot of goodies in the H store?
