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.

This is awesome! I had a feeling you would be successful!!! Great on a short trip too. This is a nice time of year to get bags I think.

Thanks so much, I convinced my DH to visit Paris for 2 days but I'm sure he knew that the whole trip was just to visit the FSH store [emoji85]. I think it's the best time as the stores were not crowded at all.

Thanks so much, I really wanted an etoupe or etain but I thought if I was very specific I might not be offered anything. Black is always nice and timeless.
