I recently shared my FSH story. Here is my George V one.

I entered the store and was greeted by an Asian SA. I asked for bags (just bags, not even a b or k) and she immediately said. We are sold out for the day (I was thinking, yeah right, ive heard that a thousand times already) so I asked for a cdc. She showed me the one I wanted and said Ill take it. I then asked for pink items since my favorite color is pink. I asked for a mobile phoneholder in pink. I asked for more items in pink. She showed me the bastia, passport holder and calvi in pinks. I said ill take them and asked "anymore pink?". So I paid for the items. Before leaving I asked again if they happen to have garden party in 30. Guess what, she replied "let me check" and suddenly two showed up. She showed me two gp30. While choosing she said "we just got these, we didnt have them in the morning" (me thinking again, yeah right, I know how it works). I ended up buying the pink small leather goods and one gp30. :)

Thank you for sharing. GP30 is great choice. I have a 36 and I am thinking to get a 30 which is much lighter. Congrats on your numerous loots![emoji1]

Success!!

Here is my story - long story alert

Outfit - cdc, gp30 with rodeo and hermes quicker sneakers, zara dress and coat

I arrived at around 8:30am and was about fifth or sixth in line. The front door opened at 10:30am. As I went inside I noticed people are also coming in from the side door so I am not sure if it was opened the same time as the front door. I was served by a female SA immediately and was directed to the area upstairs with tables and chairs. She asked how long have Ive been waiting and I answered 2 hours. We chatted a bit. She was kinda about to sneeze due to colds and i offered her some tissues. She said "thank you you're really nice" (im not sure if this helped at all) Then she asked if I already have a record at Hermes France, i said yes, she asked for my passport and then what bag I wanted. So I told her Ive been dreaming of owning a b30 or b25 but im willing to consider b35. I mentioned i really like small bags as I was carrying a gp30. She asked what colors I want and I told here something in blues and pink or neutrals. I mentioned blue atoll, blue sapphire, gris, etain, black. She said some of my colors are not in season and asked for more specific colors so I mentioned blue agate (new color) and said basically any color except white. She asked for my hardware preference and told her im not particular with that. She followed up if there is anything else I would like to see. I said if given a bag, i would like bag insert, twillies and charms. She said she will go check in the sizes 30 and 25 and 35 as the last option. Before leaving she offered me something to drink and I answered warm water. I thought it was a good sign. She was gone for about 10 minutes. I saw her went upstairs to a room with about 3 boxes. She then approached me with the magic words "Please follow me".

We were in a private room and then there were the boxes. I knew its either b30 or b25. The other boxes were fourbis. I was already jumping with joy. She said its not it in the colors I wanted but close to it. She slowly opened the box - a b25 in blue saint cyr. She said they have a b30 in orange but I did not mention orange so she got the b25 in blue instead. While i was enjoying the moment she offered me coffee and what else I wanted. I asked for twillies herbag and jige. I ended up getting a pair of twillies, jige clutch and fourbi together with the B. I paid for the items and my SA gave me her card and said she will be glad to assist me anytime I am in Paris.

Here it is
