Paris January 2014 SALE

[pretty99]

Finally I have some time for a full post regarding the sale.
This is my first H sale. I went just because I thought it's a must-have experience for a scarf junkie like me. It was indeed a great time.
I went to the sale on three out of four days, mostly in the morning.

The first day was the most hectic day. I'm not a morning person, so I arrived the sale at 7:15 am and started at the 5th row inside the Palais des Congres even though the sale wouldn't start until 9am. It took 1.5 hrs for me to get to the Coat Check area, and then another 40 minutes in the line approaching the Sale room entrance. The reason was that in the morning they didn't have signage to point people to the product they needed to be in line for, so imagine a bottleneck combined of people who wanted to buy either 1) Carres, or 2) GM, or 3) All others (shoes, RTW, ties, gloves, hats, bath towels, etc.), all in a hallway that's about 4-5m wide! The crowd was consisted of about 50% French/European, and 50% Non-European/tourists, but the security guys spoke only in French to inform us which area was for which product, so imagine the confusion to a whole bunch of non-French speakers like me as to which line I should go...
I observed all kind of behaviors at the sale and made me wonder why they thought the sale was worth it? There's a guy escorted out by two security screaming, a pregnant lady being pushed left and right in front of the carre line (why she chose go to this chaotic place on the first day while being that pregnant was still beyond me...). There's an Asian lady who thought it's OK to point fingers at my friend's shawl and to touch her H silk shawl without asking!!! (My friend was so afraid of making a scene so she just smiled instead). Another shocker to me was one lady who dared to walk into this sale wearing a fake La Femme aux Semelles de Vent shawl (about which I had to tell myself that perhaps she got it as a gift and didn't know...)
There are many instances where people who broke the line were mostly local, some came very late and joined the first row with the friends without lining up, the security guy kicked some out for that but not all. The crowd was very civilized otherwise.
The lines on the second and the last day was not bad. I went straight to the second row in the waiting area on the 2nd day at early afternoon, and straight to the coat check area on the last day.

It was a pleasure seeing many people wearing H at the sale: A pink Coaching CS GM, a pink red Sur Un Tapis Volant CS PM, a Concours d'Etriers CS GM, blue Guepards carre, pink Promenade de Platons, black and Rouge Vif B and Toolbox (sp?) bag, etc. Also, many security guys are young and pretty good-looking, so it was fun as well .

way to go girl!! BTW any special extras on Saturday? or just same same?

 

[Chestnutty]

The sale inventory indeed changed each day, so it's all up to your luck. There was no leather goods except for gloves and hat. Some RTW from very recent Spring '13 collection, such as the dresses and tops with Echec au Roi, Aloha, and Tahiti silk pattern.

It was a pleasure seeing many people in H at the sale: A pink Coaching CS GM, a pink red Sur Un Tapis Volant CS PM, a Concours d'Etriers CS GM, blue Guepards carre, blue Promenade de Platons, etc.

Thanks Chestnutty for such a detailed account of the sale! I'm living vicariously through you!

 

[lovely64]

I was also in Paris during the sales but I did not attend. My friend Went but I stayed at the Hotel and cabbed around a few boutiques. She did not find anything of interest and the line(s) were dreary and tiering. I am glad I did not go since I would not have been able to stand for such a long time surrounded by queing people. This was the first day of the sale.

thanks for your account, very interesting. did you find ex libris in the end?
I saw a lady with a fake Birkin!
and what did you find about the choice of products?
for the second time i told myself that it was not worth it, but it is so addictive that i would not be surprised if i beak my promise to myself not to go again.
one thing for sure, it is pointless to hope to find the scarves i like the most, the choice of 90s was very poor, but what do you think? what did you find?

 

[periogirl28]

Dear Chestnutty - I am Asian and to me, it's not ok to point fingers at or touch a stranger's anything, much less an Hermes cashmere shawl without asking and then it's still such bad manners. I am sorry this happened. Your friend was an angel! I would have said something not so accommodating. Which is why I am not at the sale!

 

[VigeeLeBrun]

Thanks, Chestnutty, for your detailed information regarding the H Paris sale.
Sounds like quite the experience!

 

[Chestnutty]

Dear Chestnutty - I am Asian and to me, it's not ok to point fingers at or touch a stranger's anything, much less an Hermes cashmere shawl without asking and then it's still such bad manners. I am sorry this happened. Your friend was an angel! I would have said something not so accommodating. Which is why I am not at the sale!

My apologies if I have offended or sounded like I was profiling. My friend and I are both Asians too, so were the couple in front of us, so I found it difficult to understand why. I guess it happens and let's just think of it like an odd kind of compliment, then .
Please don't take me wrong, things like that happen just about everywhere. That shouldn't deter us from doing the things we love and going to where we want.

 

[Maedi]

Chestnutty,
Thank you so much for your wonderfully detailed description of the sale. It was most interesting reading for me. Hope you found some happy things for yourself.

I wasn't offended at all! Shop on!

Thanks Chestnutty for the detailed report. I can't wait to see some of the shawls show up on Ebay from the resellers. At least I don't have to wait hours in line so the markup is worthy. Do you recall how much the sale price is for the GM shawls ? TIA.

Thanks for taking the time to share all of this information. Somehow I've managed to miss every sale in Paris over the past year due to work or ill health, so I'm pleased I can relive the experience through fellow tPFers.

[Chestnutty]

Powder Puff, VigeeLeBrun, Maedi, Lanit, chkpfbeliever, amber_j - Glad to have been there done that! Honestly, having been to the sale, I totally think the markup some sellers put on their sale items is worth it. Being in the line for that long for only one or two items on the wishlist is certainly not worth the time, imo.

I was also in Paris during the sales but I did not attend. My friend Went but I stayed at the Hotel and cabbed around a few boutiques. She did not find anything of interest and the line(s) were dreary and tiring. I am glad I did not go since I would not have been able to stand for such a long time surrounded by queuing people. This was the first day of the sale.

Yes, you made the right decision, lovely64. The crowd was worst on the first day and not everything there was necessarily TDF, as there's no SLGs, bracelets, or china.

thanks for your account, very interesting. did you find ex libris in the end?
I saw a lady with a fake Birkin!
and what did you find about the choice of products?
for the second time i told myself that it was not worth it, but it is so addictive that i would not be surprised if i beak my promise to myself not to go again.
one thing for sure, it is pointless to hope to find the scarves i like the most, the choice of 90s was very poor, but what do you think? what did you find?

I think the selection was great in carres and GMs, depending on the day you go, they're just in the wrong colorways. But it's great for my wallet that way as I don't have to hesitate much.
I got some a CS GM on my wishlist and a 2010 mousseline stole that I never thought would be there, so I'm content . I hope to be able to take photos when I'm back home, as the lighting here is not bright enough.
Part of the reasons I went on three days is because we never knew what would be offered each day, and people watching is one of the best thing to do in Paris, ya know. Entertaining!

Thanks Chestnutty for the detailed report. I can't wait to see some of the shawls show up on Ebay from the resellers. At least I don't have to wait hours in line so the markup is worthy. Do you recall how much the sale price is for the GM shawls ? TIA.

I saw some on both ebay.com and ebay.fr already .
CS GM was 498 Euros, Silk GM (Kachinas in white, coral, and another with yellow border; Coaching in several cws) was around 400 euros.
