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.
 
Jsusan: I have not previously worked with the SA at sevres or fsh before. I merely tagged along with my friend who is a first timer in paris. So she placed her name at sevres (about 2pm) waiting for her turn and I was having tea upstairs. When it came her turn I just met her at the handbag section. The sales associate, he took down our wishlist and disappeared for a bit while I went to the petit h area to browse around. He asked us to follow him to the clothing section and showed us a few things on our wish list. Definitely very friendly and accommodating. He said there weren't many options. We did give him very specific requests (choice of leather, hardware and color). I was already over the moon when I was offered my pochette especially the pricing of the leather goods is great with the euro exchange! The rest was history. Definitely a great experience!! I saw other customers being offered wonderful b/k as well! So this let me believe that sevres was an easier store to obtain goodies! Fsh I had no such luck and we went over a two day period both at different appointment times. Hope that helps.


Woundeful story. Love the fact that you can have tea upstrairs instead of waiting in the cold at FHS. So they have the same kind of apppointment system at Sevres as FHS now? I had no idea
