Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

I was in Paris fsh and sevres this past week and inventory was rather low. My friend was offered Kelly 28 at sevres and I myself got a Kelly pochette from there! Fsh was filled with loads of people but there were no b or k's being offered. There were so many SAs running around trying to help all the customers but didn't see any exciting bags pop up. There are a lot of exotic goods in belts, wallets and so forth. A lot of orange bags were being featured. However it's always good to be in Paris nonetheless! Thanks for letting me share my haul!

Long story:
Hello fellow Hermes lovers! I have been a longtime fan of Hermes (2010) and it started with scarves because of the creativity and top notch designs. I never even heard of a birkin until maybe a year ago and it piqued my interest because of the quality and leather colors from researching online. The summer of 2016 I went to France for my honeymoon:drinks:. I decided to check out the Hermes FSH and Sevres for the first time and it was beautiful!:loveeyes: I went to FSH first and read reviews to wait in line 2 hours before the boutique opened which I did. The main entrance opened first and SA asked what I am looking for. I literally said exactly what I wanted B25, 30, etc. The SA brought a Bleu Sapphire B25 and Blue Jean B25, but I rejected it after finally seeing it in person, the 25 was too small for me and it was not Togo leather, it was a different name...not epsom. So I said thank you for her time and went downstairs and bought gorgeous Savanah Dance scarves and fine china as well. I kinda of slightly regretted not getting the 25B, but if it is gonna be my very first Birkin, I would rather take my time and wait for that special color that warms my heart:hbeat:. Fast forward, ...a couple months lmao we visited Paris in Dec 2016 on a quick trip via from a different country. We went to FSH and got rejected:crybaby:, went to Sevres and long story short....out of my Top 5 list (it was #1 actually), I was offered a beautiful B30....the "newest" color....and my very FIRST Birkin :loveeyes::loveeyes: stay tuned for more pics :graucho::happydance: Now, I know why the B is in demand, the quality is amazing, and the new colors are just beautiful! :graucho::happydance::loveeyes::yahoo:

Been following this forum on and off. Any idea if a medor clutch (regular leather) is hard to get in Paris? How much are they? Tried to google but can't find a price.

Haven't seen non exotic medor in a long time,
Lately I find them available just in exotic skins like croc or lizard, and always available in both serves and FSH.

They do pop up from time to time on various H.com web page stores

I will keep an eye out on the website. They had an exotic one in my local store but want regular leather.

Hey dear there how is the Tadelakt leather? I heard its more structured than Swift but I actually haven't any bag/piece in this type of leather so just curious

TIA

hi

i would say that tadelakt leather is more like box leather, than swift leather.
it is more structured than swift leather for sure
and has the slight glossy finish

perfect for clutch :)

Hoping to travel to a Paris FSH in Sep or Oct. When would you recommend to be the best time to be there for a week taking into fact that leather artisans are off in August and Fashion Week is Sep 26-Oct 04. Thank you for your assistance!
