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.

Thanks again everyone and sorry for the late post I was so tired yesterday to post anything so here is my experience.

I emailed the hotel I'm staying in a week before that I will be in Paris for a day and a half and want to visit FSH, after 4 emails they managed to score me an appointment at 3:30 pm.

I arrived to the hotel at 11:30am, got ready and went to FSH at 1:00 pm, I asked to change my appointment but they said no they were really busy. I browsed the store and reserved a croc Oran sandal for my mum.

My DH went as well same time but not with me, as I wanted a bag for my mum and didn't want them to give us the 1 household rule. They said no appointment but come in the afternoon.

At 3:20 I was there, I waited for about 20 mins until my SA arrived, she took me to a private room before even asking me what bag do I want which I thought was a good sign. She asked me a lot of questions about my previous purchases but I have only one from Paris which is my Kelly 32 in 2015.

I told her I want a garden party which is for my mother in law, and a Lindy as my friend and then my list:

My Wishlist :
K25
K28
B25
B30

And then I told her that my DH is in Paris with me and I want to get my mum a bag, and if we can get one with his name but we want exotic birkin or Kelly, Her answer was maybe but first your bags.

She went for about 15 mins and came back with 3 boxes.

1st the garden party size 30, which we took.

Then a Lindy 26 verso blue agate and Gris mouette, for my friend but she didn't like the colour, she told me they have Lindy 30 in gold with red inside but again my friend didn't like it.

Now my bag, I think I was almost gonna faint of excitement. My favourite bag ever K25 in noir GHW.

And then my mum turn, I told her I want B30 or K25 in ostrich my 1st colour choice is red. And she came but with B30 red with GHW.

It was such a happy day for me, and I'm so grateful for all your posts which helped a lot. I went again today and got this from George V boutique, for my baby sister.

Congrats!! glad to hear that they didn't impose the 1 handbag per household rule =) did you use your husband passport for ur mom's birkin?

I'm thinking about the 6 months per b/k/c rule as i have bought a B in Feb 17 in Paris under my name. Wanted to go Paris this July (sadly only 1 month away from the 6 month rule) but was wondering if i could use my sister's passport instead, as she will be travelling with me :smile:

Yes I used his passport, he didn't even have any previous purchase history. I think you can do this, just let her book the appointment as well under her name. They're not that strict unless you had a SA who's not interested in selling a bag to you. Hope it will work out for you.

Thank you for letting me know :smile: I'm happy for you! The K25 is beyond perfection!

I realized different SAs have different rules which they impose according to their whims. My sis bought a lindy & came back 2 days later looking for a B/K, one SA told her that lindy is rare too and it's now included in the 6 months limit -.-" not that we took her words too seriously as i bought a lindy and a birkin (few days apart).
