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.

Congrats to those who have gotten lucky !
I was also trying just for one day on Friday morning at 910am. When we got an appt time at 230pm, the appt time kept going backwards and when our sa was ready, it was already 4 pm.
I gotten a Birkin last Dec and I was hoping to get one for my mom using the name of my bf . But strangely , Hermes seemed to have link my bf to my account?? So when the sa saw me, she asked how a petty to not wear your Birkin
I got a no for a B or a k even though the appt was under the name of my bf, and I am wondering whether it's because they linked our two names under one account ...
I then got a Lindy 26 for my mom hoping she might be happy . But unfortunately she has her eyes set only on the b25 or k25 or b30 so I have to now try to return the bag or exchange it for something else ... oh mothers

This is a peculiar predicament- I've never heard of this happening before. I think that the SA remembered you from December because it was so recent. The SA mentioned that you didn't wear your B that you just bought.
My opinion is that she probably thought you were a reseller? For me, I bought my B at FSH in February. I went back in July and brought my B with me- I was so in love with my first fsh score that I wanted my B to take back to her home store (haha). I know the SA at fsh are more wary because many of the people visiting go with the intention of reselling.

Maybe I was being oversensitive because I gotten a no for any of the wish list from my mom. In fact my bf said they had a very nice conversation ( obviously in French which I can't understand ) about how how the women in my family are so in love with Hermès that we only talk about that when we are together.
I tried to dress up my subtle bag with some rodeo and carmen charms and had some hermes accessories on me. I heed the advice from my bf about being subtle in Paris (France in general) because he has heard lots of unpleasant things from locals about how foreigners like to flaunt their wealth in Paris by carrying lots of branded goods . It's frowned upon especially in the non touristy areas ... and also for safety reasons it's wise to be subtle in the streets of Paris .
Oh well, there are bound to be sa that we can connect and can't connect to, it's all about luck .
Good luck to you @mcpro !! ❤❤
