I called in today and the bags are certainly the ones from King St. The havanne (?) matte croc lindy is there along with a small orange clemence lindy, BJ garden party, so kelly in etoupe and a small orange evelynne along with a couple of others which have slipped my mind.

The whole area looks nice and spacious and reminded me of the Harrods layout. The scarves mainly seem to be on view and there's a good selection of watches and jewellery.

I may swing by later for a chat with the SAs as I forgot to ask about that Selfridges scarf!

Poshhoney, did you call by King Street, it was supposed to reopen this afternoon? I wondered if anyone had been in and could report back on the refurb. I am struggling to come up with an excuse workwise to be in Manchester this week LOL ;)

Yes - I called by King St too - they were not open at lunch (or did not look it), but seemed to be fully functional(ish) by 6pm, although I only looked in the window and didn't go inside. They have a new window display (this time a bike covered in seashells), with a lot of scarves curled up in ice cream cones. I wasn't sure whether they were still just sorting out or were in fact open, but the scarf counter was where it always was with the display at the back full of scarves and the bag cabinet seemed the same. It certainly did not seem to be any great "remodel". There were no bags in the ususal cabinet but given the time they have ususally put them away by then anyway - will have a peep tomorrow.

Swung by selfridges too to see what they had. Carol was over from the store but seemed to be checking or moving stock over and left when I arrived. The staff are lovely but very very new and pretty uncertain of prices/ stock/ where things are etc which is only to be expected. Although i was a bit shocked to be told that a GM scarf was £800 until it was checked when i asked if they were sure!!

Re bags i had a nice chat and they said that they will certainly be getting more and that they will be getting birkins and kellys which will go out when they get them. They were firm that there will be no list or system - they will just go on the shelf. I actually didn't ask for Birks and Kellys - it was a passing remark about getting more choice in re colours, but clearly they had been asked before and told me this off the bat.

There was also a lot of stock in the drawers and A/W GM wise they had peuple de vent in 3 colours and beloved india in the mainly ivory with pale lilac colourway (ok I clearly have scarf homework to do!). I didn't get around to 90cm I'm afraid but will have another peep this week.

Ok sorry - in my overexcitement this has turned into an essay.

Ms Birkin - I think you should certainly swing by for a look if you can. I will do a better report when i have more news.

And to enyone else who fancies a look and maybe a cuppa, just give me a shout. :drinkup:

Poshhoney - thanks for the update

I am trying to swing work arrangements so I can maybe fit in a visit this week.

The new staff are certainly enthusiastic, but as you say still uncertain, but knowledge will come with time. I had to laugh when I knew more of the colours and leathers and scarf names, I think I should be worried how addicted I've become LOL

I had a nose into the Selfridges Hermes today,Poshhoney as you say they are all a lil 'uncertain' by very,very enthusiastic! Lovely concession,weirdly enough I looked at the lights and the very much reminded me of Lalique frosted glass!

Nice to have two outlets for H in Manchester now! So yes we will have to arrange a cuppa and a wander!

Yes those yellow losanges were great!!! I didnt even think to ask if they were for sale, I just assumed they were the Selfridges 'uniform' for H!! Now I am annoyed cos I would have loved to try one on... do you know how much they retailed for? Thanks

I was in on Saturday and remembered to ask this time - they are £205 and there was one left on the shelf - they may have more in the drawers of course.

hello!

im new to this site, hoping to upload some pics this week. just wanted to connect with any H fans.

i love the fact manchester has a new store, although I will continue to do most of my H shopping in king st as I love the traditional atmosphere.

im thinking of getting the black riding boots soon - do they fit to size or smaller/bigger? can you get your skinny jeans into them?

best wishes for now m x:nuts::nuts::yahoo:

Hi hermeschicuk,

Welcome to the TPF, I'm sure you'll love all the info you can find about Hermes on here, it becomes very addictive LOL.
I can't answer the question about the riding boots but I'm sure one of our other lovely members will see your post and contribute.

hello Chaz,

nice to hear from you

what do you think to the selfridges store? i really liked the idea but i think at the moment they have a lot of out of stock items and they dont know when they will have a replenishment! i liked the fact its convienient for me as i park under marks and spencers.

im really hoping to have a kelly or birkin soon, just as soon as they can find me one!! its like searching for a needle in a haystack I think!

what are your fave items?
