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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

Detaxing (to US from Europe) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/best-way-to-detax-after-h-in-europe.178302/

or non-US destinations: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/does-h-store-paris-wants-to-ship.605014/page-3

For questions relating to prices https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/reference-hermes-current-prices.102567/page-357

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

What are my chances on a Saturday vs Monday at FSH. I went to Sevres this afternoon and they said they have no bags and since deliveries there are weekday only there was no point in going back tomorrow. Is it worth trying FSH tomorrow?

I scored both time on a Saturday. One time during lunch and one time being the second in line when the store opens.

Good luck.

May I ask a question to all of you Paris-savvy travelers? What hotel(s) would you recommend that are within a short walking distance of the fsh store? Thank you for any thoughts- feel free to direct/private message me if you wish.

Hermezzy, I suggest Le Bristol Hotel which is practically next door to FSH or a short block away. We have stayed there numerous times and it has always been a wonderful experience. :hugs:

I got a bag!!!! I'm so excited. I know everyone has told their stories so I have to share mine. I know I read this thread a million times before I gave it a try.

Line - showed up a little after 9, went to side door line. Was 7th in line but a few people had their significant others on the front door line so it wasn't quite as many as it seemed.

Entrance - doors opened at 10:30, security checks your bag and then people just rush ahead of you in a mad dash for the sales associates. It seemed like people from front door all rushed in the same direction. Can't say that one door was better than the other. I just followed the masses. A couple cut in front of me. A sales floor assistant asked me if I was with them, I said no and then she introduced me to my sales associate who took me upstairs and took my list. (No appt was made - perhaps because I arrived early?)

Offerings - he came back with a B35 in etain and I felt it was too big. He said he didn't think he had a 30 in that color but my boyfriend convinced him to look. He came back with a B30 in étoupe w/PHW. My first choice of colors!!! We ended up looking at some twillys and small wallets. He also showed me a ghilles kelly wallet in ostrich and a jige in raisin.

I ended up with the B30, a fourbie, a dogon duo in capucine and my bf got a small card wallet.

Service - amazing. They served me tea on arrival in the main room on the second floor and moved us to the leather room when he got the boxes. They served us champagne after we selected the B30.

Here is the bag!
