Hello loves,

There are many reasons I love going to the Hermès store. However, I didn’t realize a cherry on top of my visits was overhearing funny conversations inside it. This came to my realization when I was exchanging anecdotes of overhead conversations in the store with my fabulous girlfriends. Let me share a few of them below that belong to me and my friends. So if you have any, please share them!

XOXO,
HermèsGeek

Here we go:

Overheard at H South Coast Plaza
*Lindy on the counter with couple and SA

SA: I’m sorry we don’t have a Birkin and Kelly for you at the moment. You have to have a purchase history before we can offer you one.

Lady: So if I buy this now *points snobbishly to Lindy* will you sell me one?

SA: *chuckles politely* no, I’m sorry that’s not how it works.

Overheard at H South Coast Plaza
*happened around March 2018

Young Man: Hi, I’m looking to buy a Birkin for my mom for her birthday. I know there’s a process but her birthday’s on September, do you think it’s possible for me to get one for her by then?

SA: Yes that’s possible, given your time frame but I’d like you to talk to our sales manager, he’ll be able to help you more. *calls SM then leaves*
*young man repeats his dilemma to SM*

SM: that’s so sweet of you. Hmmm.. sorry but stock is very limited. It might take a while for us to get there and you’d need to build your purchase history first.

Young man: how long is a while? At least on average?

SM: it depends, but average spending maybe two years?

———
Overheard at H Beverly Hills

Lady: The closest Hermès store from where I live is thousands of miles away. Is there really no chance of me getting my dream bag?

SA: I’m really sorry but we really don’t have Birkins in stock, we also don’t know when new shipment will arrive. I’d be happy to assist you with other items. May I give you some recommendations on wonderful restaurants and cafes in the area to sweeten your vacation?

Overhead at H Madison Ave

*little boy points at GP Vert Anis on shelf*

boy: mommy that looks like grinch’s poop

*mom looks at GP then looks at her K35 in Vert Anis*

mom: don’t say that sweetie you don’t want people to think mommy’s wearing grinch’s poop, do you?

———

Overheard at H Saint Honoré

*couple waiting for SA to come back in the leather department*

Woman: I can feel it, it’s going to be my Kelly!

Man: You know I’m going to have to sell one of my kidneys when we get home right?

———
Overheard at H Madison Avenue

*Girl looking at Lindy 34 Etoupe*

Husband: It looks weird, it looks like a dumpling or fortune cookie. I mean, for a price like that it should make you look very fashion forward at least.

Wife: I gave up years of my fortune cookies to give to you. So yes, I will buy this bag and no more fortune cookies for you.

That’s all I have for now! Enjoy!

Very funny, and a rich vein of material I’m sure!
For those in the UK there’s a Facebook page called Overheard in Waitrose which is also hilarious :giggle:

Same customer to French SA: "May I see the Sac en Vie please?"

French SA to customer" "Non!"

Customer and friend laughing

SA to customer whilst walking in opposite direction and into back room "Er... let me see if we have the shoes on your list in your size..."

Overheard in Doha The Pearl boutique :

Woman near the bags display area : I am looking for a Birkin bag. What sizes do you have?

SA: The birkin comes in different sizes like 25,30,35...etc.

Same woman: I want to see one in size 20.

SA: there is no size 20 unless it's a special edition bag.

Woman then points at my wife's B25 and shouts : what size is that bag then?

SA: It's is size 25 but unfortunately we don't have that size at the moment.

Woman yells as she leaves the store: You sell bags to the people you like only and not us.

Funny but true! Thank you for lightening the anxiety of wondering if I'll ever have a B or a K before I die......
