What beautiful things you all managed to score at the sale :loveeyes: !!...I'm living vicariously through you all!
I just need some clarification as i've watched a video saying you can possibly access the sale through the arlettie website? Did anyone use the Arlettie website to access the sale or was it strictly Hermes customers only? Also how do i access it? I'm so sorry if someones ask these questions already :doh:

@Leah_85 I received 2 separate email links to register for slots; 1 via Arlettie (I was on their mailing list) and another via Hermes. From what others have posted there seems to be no more open slots this year. Sorry...

I went to the sales on Monday afternoon. My slot was for 1:30pm; I arrived at 1pm knowing that there would be queue, but there were already plenty of people queuing up. I queued until 2:30pm to get in, then queued again for the shoes section. People are snapping up shoes fast! I had to queue for 4 times to get something that I would actually wear. Also, I wear 38, the 37/38 section was like war zone! I was very lucky that DH went with me, so that he was doing “shoes-sitting” while I went back to queue again and again without having to carry anything around.
Then moved onto silks, there weren’t many nice design left and very few 140x140. So I left with only 5 scarves.
The shoppers are mostly nice, often making compliments to each other’s found. I enjoyed the conversation with the ladies in front of and behind me while queuing to pay.
Overall, I am very pleased with what I’ve got, but still regret that I didn’t get the Oz mules or the riding boots.

I went yesterday - stocks seriously dwindling now and more limits on purchases - only allowed 3 pairs ladies shoes now. No Orans left and more expensive pieces left like croc shoes. Plenty of ties and scarves but the large cashmere ones had a poor selection. Was pretty quiet with minimal if any queues. Looks like most of the good stuff went in the first few days. Overall a pretty pleasant experience though

Yes Neo! I was totally surprised when the sales brought them out; I thought they would be all gone during the VIP days! They must have spread stock so that public entry days also have some good stock.
Good eyes! It is indeed; it is the rouge cw shawl. Feeling lucky as I almost bought it full price in store.

The odd pair here and there but no neo or anything I’d have bought. The staff said this was all that was left now and were not really bringing out much to replace what was gone. I got a twillaine long cardigan - still a fair bit of rtw left for men and women and at a good reduction. Attaching a photo of mine and one of the silk 90 cm scarves in jungle love design.

How did you find going yesterday? Did you find any goodies?

It was pretty civilised but sadly didn’t get any of the home items I was hoping for and only 1 ( pop Pegasus) of the 3 scarves on my wish-list
I got 2 pairs of sneakers just because they were such a bargain.
a little annoyed because my H SM and SA sent me the invitation in early September which I then cbut Arlette only gave me the activation link to book a slot last week- I tried to book for Saturday OR Sunday (1st 2days) and slots all full. Due to work commitments I could only get there yesterday morning.
So I do feel Arlette’s tardiness in sending links meant I lost out on items I wanted.
I did do ok but I could have done better had I got thereon Saturday!

OMMGGG I wish I were there!!! There's absolutely near nothing in size 34 in store argh! :crybaby:

Just curious: Are these sizes only in Orans and Oasis? Cause I have never seen any other models in size 34... :shocked:

As a size 34 it was Nirvana compared to the usual disappointments in store. Counted myself lucky to get 2 pairs; Legend sandals in Rouge Tomate with studs and Orans in Citroen. :smile: Spotted lots of Santorini, Beach, Thalassa, Brisbane, Oasis and Premier in 34/34.5. Leather trainers seemed to start in 35.

Didn't want to be greedy and take more than 2 pairs. Lesson learnt for next time since the resellers seem to have bought up large. Vestaire is now heavily stocked with "Never got the opportunity to wear them" sale purchases...
