Do you girls know if it's possible to exchange something without the box? ( the insert that might make dents in my bag). Considering I got it yesterday? Thank you!

I have no idea about exchange but you can try. I have that insert in the plain version and I really like it! I use mine in B30 and there is room on each side in the size of Fourbi I have.The Fourbi is probably expensive for an insert but I figured Hermes would test their inserts for their bags (I was afraid of things like color transfer etc) and I am new to using inserts. Beautiful bag and glad you had a great experience at FSH.

I was at FSH around 4.30pm. It was my lucky day. I got my Kelly 32 in gold Togo. I was being offered a Kelly 28 in light grey and Kelly 32 in etain too. They are all great. Just can't bring all of them home.

Wow that is awesome. I was lucky enough to get Gold last time and I really love it. Such an amazing color!!!

Hi, everyone! This is my FSH story and I am not a good writer lol.
Went couple of times to FSH myself but was told that they have no Kelly's in stock, but I can check Sevres store if I want.
Yesterday I decided to line up with my husband and get two appointments. Since I was a bit over the idea of standing in lines in winter, I almost didn't go to FSH yesterday, but then decided to give it another try and lined up around 10.10am. Our appointments were for 12pm. So not so many people in line this time of the year.
I was told no Kelly's again. But my husband, on the other hand, managed to get me a Kelly )) He told SA that my first color choice was etoupe, then any other neutral, then "fun" colors, any hardware (but preference for gold) and Togo leather (although I was ok with other leathers as well, but my husband called me asking about leather choices and he couldn't understand word "epsom", so he just said Togo [emoji23]).
His SA was very lovely lady, she helped to get the accessories for the bag and I think she chose nice stuff, cause my husband doesn't understand women's fashion and could have been sold on anything less nice and useful. But she did great. She picked twilly, rodeo, insert ( and passport cover for my husband).
I am not sure about the insert since I can see its edges pushing leather when bag is closed, but I already shipped boxes home, so can't exchange it.

((Overall most of the staff is very nice at FSH, day and night comparing to my home store. The other day I tried to see if I can pull the care tag off my new beanie hat (not a Hermes hat), but it didn't work. So to my surprise few second later I saw SA with scissors coming my way lol And I was not makiView attachment 3570589View attachment 3570589ng a scene out of it, so don't know how he noticed that. Also I was not trying anything on or buying. That was very nice of him.))

The bag is Kelly 28 Retourne in Bleu Nuit Togo with GHW. I am tall and at first sight retourne style seemed smaller than I expected, but it still looks good on my frame. Next time I can expand my choices to size 32 retourne which will probably look like 28 sellier. Cause I think 32 is easier to find.

I put the twilly on the bag myself, so it doesn't look perfect. Have to practice.
