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 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!

Congrats! Enjoy your beautiful bag. I'm going first week of April. I know you said someone introduced you to your sales associate but can you describe where to go to get the appointment. Where everybody was heading? I just don't want to go around and miss the appointment "desk/area".

My guess is that once all the sales associates were occupied the greeter/sales floor assistant would take names and assign appointments but that's just a guess. Perhaps others would know. Getting there early helped. Good luck!
