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 tried not to get there TOO early because I wanted an appointment later in the day. Seems quite counter-intuitive because "early bird gets the worm". However, deliveries are usually made in the afternoon which means you have better chance of scoring if your appointment is later in the day. If your appointment is the first appointment of the day, the inventory will be whatever is leftover from the previous day.

This is just my observation and what my sa told me. Please don't hold me to my word!!

Agreed, I was successful on two visits late in the afternoon (old system) and the SA told me a delivery came in the afternoon! But I think in super peak times it sounds like the appointments for the entire day go quickly. I try to avoid peak times though.

How were you able to score 1 B and 2 K at the same time in July? I was one of the very early people so that was probably also why I didn't get so lucky.

I had the same sa both in February and July. I was very fortunate to have her remember me after only meeting her once! Very surprised because they deal with so many customers in a day. I learned with the old queue system that if you don't click with an SA you're assigned to, ask for another one the next time!

I asked for b, k, Lindy , maybe GP, is that too many?

Since you already got a B on this trip and they can see it on your record, asking for a K again will give you the same response as the previous SAs you have encountered - you need to wait for few months to get a B/K again. Unless you have a travelling partner passport that you can use for the next B/K in this trip.

Lindy and GP is fine IMO. I have gotten a Lindy & a B on the same trip.

Since I'm mainly buying jewelry and scarves and one bag, how should I go about asking them? Some SA just want to get straight to the point, but I don't want to start off saying I want a birkin. Should I ask for Evelyne, all the accessories, and THEN ask for a birkin? In this case are my chances a little better at scoring a b? I might get shoes too. So would it be best I mention all of my wishlist before asking for B?

When the SA asked what i'm looking for, I just gave them my list at a go...eg, "I will like to get jewelry, scarves and 1 bag. I prefer a Birkin." If they come back saying they don't have a B for me, I will then ask how about an Evelyne? Most of the time, they are happy to sell Evelyne so they will go back and look for the stock availability.

@Bibibala, maybe you should just satisfied with the bags you got. Even if you going to the stores everyday the answer will be the same.
Do not rely on the stories that some people can get few b/k in 6 month period, they are different cases. So just enjoy the rest of your trip in paris and do not get stress over bag, its not worth it .

Totally agree that is the classy way of doing it. :coolio:

Question on logistics though - I read that at FSH you queue for an appointment with the Leather Department. So would you tell the Leather SA that you were also after other non leather items?
