Thank you leuleu
It was very exhausting.. when I was driving back home again I had to take many pauses to staying awake..
The First minutes after I left the store I was standing in the street in front of it and crying and trying to calm down.. because I took that hard Journey just to get my dream bag.. and then this happened. [emoji20]
I could not enjoy the rest of the hours I stayed there..
you can not believe how sad I still am and of course totally damaged from that long trip.
I am searching for reasons why but I know it doesn’t change the situation and what happened..
But I am ok now.. just thinking about it but calm down a little bit again. But I need some really good rest.
Thank you for asking [emoji177]
Calm down and relax
Your dream bag will come eventually
We all have been thru these nonsense and treatment
That's what make us stronger and better
This also makes h more exclusively exciting challenging plus bags more special in our hearts

Hope you recover from this setback and I’m glad you got home safely. Perhaps your first birkin that you bought in October this year will still put a smile on your face [emoji3] A friend of mine has travelled the world, looking for her first one and never got offered. With Hermès you need to be patient.Wishing you the best for 2018.
 
Got an appointment today at FSH too. Drove 8hours by car to there. Were treated like s*** sorry for saying that. The SA wasnt even looking in my face, when I saw him I already know that I will be said and all the way was for nothing. He made me even cried I am honest. He didnt listen to me.. totally disrespectful and unfriendly and unprofessional..
Very disappointed
Awake since 24 hours now, drove back and forth 15 hours just for one day because I have to work tomorrow again.

I was nice, dressed normally not overdressed, be myself but from the beginning on this guy was like so...
Sad..
And I am sad too...
Congratulations tv_vt1809[emoji256]

Aww sorry to hear this. Sending you a lot of hugs. Hope your next experience is better.

I am very sorry to read this but please be safe. I hope you had some rest from all that driving. I know it's easy to say but it's only a bag and not worth risking your life for. Better luck and a more amenable SA next time. My advice is not to try until after late Jan/ early Feb as stocks will be low. Good luck.

So sorry this happened to you, please don’t take it personally :hugs:Unfortunately it is luck on the SA you receive and how professional they are.
There is no excuse in the way he treated you.:hugs:

So sorry to hear about your experience! I think maybe driving 8 hours to get a bag puts too much pressure on you. Is taking the train or a short flight an option at all for you? Then you will have more time in Paris and will feel more relaxed. I hope your next visit will be a happy one!
 
Sorry for the delay in posting pics! I have so many pics.
Good luck to everyone about to visit FSH!

Btw I take back what I said about there being only nice SAs now in the leather department. My SAs were away when I picked up my C24 and I was served by the coldest meanest SA I’ve ever met in my life (across all brands). My heart goes out to anyone who gets her during an appointment!

Don’t lose hope. You will get one eventually if you stick to it. [emoji108]
 
Thank you starprism and all others here. I got an offer: Etoupe Birkin 25 gold HW this morning. Birkin 25 is a small bag that I need due to the massive kids stuff that I have to carry whenever I go out. The experience was incredibly pleasant. I purchased a few other small leather goods and a bracelet to match my existing jewelry set.

Here it is:

At the end of the appointment the nice SA told me that I could place a SO. So I did.

It’s a rainy and cold day in Paris. My appointment was at 11:30am. This bag came from this morning’s shipment. I arrived around 10:30am to choose the bracelet. By 11:00am my leather SA came to greet me and that’s the start of all the leather goods conversations.

Wish everyone good luck today! [emoji173]️

Happy to know that you're safe and OK.
But, please, next time go by train or plane (if it's possible) because absolutely NO bag is worth you risking your life on the road.
Take care of you and I'm sure you'll dream bag will appear.
 
I feel so stirred from all of your lovely words [emoji177]
Thank you so much for your compassion [emoji177]
You made me speechless [emoji55]
I never expect such good words from so many of you
I am glad to be here, thank you for that!! and it feels good to share all these things with you!
Thank you all so much [emoji177]

I scored my holy grail bag this year after 4 years of waiting
My black b 30 togo ghw[emoji173]️
She makes me smile every day since I have her

It will come the right time and moment when I will be -hopefully- lucky enough to add a sister for her to my family [emoji85]

But I think it will take some time if I will ever try it in paris again.. if I will try it again.. I dont know at this moment because I dont want to be treated like this that makes me really sad..

But IF, then definitely never again by car.. [emoji29]

Thank you all so so much you are great!! I am happy to have this community and you all [emoji177]

Congrats on such a useful bag and on the new SO! I came here just to check on your luck today :) You are a loyal customer and your SA has come through for you again, enjoy your B25 in good health. It really is the perfect size for travelling with small children.
