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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

Wow! Many many thanks to everyone here!! I still cannot believe I finally got what I wanted from FSH. And it certainly didn’t have anything to do with how I was dressed or looked. It didn’t involve having to buy a big ticket item. It just sort of happened.:huh:

I’ll post the storyand reveal pic later. I’m going through worst sleep patterns these last couple days and really need to reset my body clock.

But some details for you before I come back with a good pic in daylight. It is a K, one type of bag I’ve been chasing after for last two years or so from FSH. (B is totally useless bag for me due to its size and shape) It is in the exact size I’ve been telling my sis how I want to keep collecting from now on for past two weeks. And it is in the color category I wanted, bright and fun. So it totally checks all the squares.:yes:

Unfortunately H God, or should I say FSH God was only generous to ONE sister at a time, never the both. But ahem, of course that didn’t stop me doing the happy dance.:happydance:

Thank you all again who kept cheering me on and wishing me well. You guys are the best!

Can't wait to see it. The FSH God was testing your persistence and you proofed to be a die hard fan. You deserve it. May I take a while guess that your K is a 28cm ?? and the color is Rose Poupre or Vert Vertigo ??

@surfers @Pocketbook Pup @Manon07 - thanks for the comments!

@Pocketbook Pup I guess I'm like most pple, I would prefer neutral colors. I do have specific requests in terms of size and hardware. After accumulating ~$16k spending over the last 2yrs I finally got my first B25 in my home store (rouge vif, ghw). I guess I'm greedy and the chase for more H bags never ends LOL and my wishlist is still so long. :p

Hence the bracelet, which thankfully I actually do love/want it, will ensure I don't have to go through the whole long process of accumulating spending & waiting for the next bag..

For those of you who have done the jewelry route in FSH - how often did it lead to a bag purchase?

I went to Paris last summer with an auntie and she purchased two bags- 1k + 1b. I was very surprised they let her buy both (used two passports). She had purchased a so Kelly and Jypsiere at sevres the day before so maybe that could’ve helped? I’m not really sure though because the b/k were purchased at fsh. At fsh, she also bought 5 matching rings for my god sisters and I (around $300-500 each). That’s my only experience with purchasing jewelry at fsh!

Hi Ladies..my 1st time posting here as i feel the need given that i owe so much to this thread..So here’s my story..(sorry, very long!)
I managed to get an appointment during my 1st try..appointment initially was at 4.55pm, finally got to see my SA at 3.30pm..got a lovely SA and told her what i wanted..after 15 minutes she came back empty handed...no luck..but she said to come back the next day and see her (without making an online appointment)..
So 2nd day i went and saw her but she didnt remember what i wanted..told her again what i wanted and she came back after 15 minutes empty handed..she said all sold out(it was around 11.30am). So i asked her if I can see her again tomorrow and she said yes but theres no guarantee she can get me a bag..she gave me 1pm to see her..
So 3rd day(today), i went at 1pm but she was busy..waited for her about 40minutes then she came..with a box!!this time she didnt even ask me what i wanted..so we went to a room and she showed me the exact bag that i wanted..Birkin 25, GHW in sauge..so yeah, dreams do come true..
