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 wanted to share my experience at Hermes FSH most recently. I used the appointment system and by the time my turn came I was greeted by a lovely sales associate. My wishlist was fulfilled. I wanted a kelly 28 Togo and my prayer was answered. I didn’t beat around the bush. That was the only color I wanted in Togo leather with palladium hardware. I was very specific. She did ask for other options, I said nope, it was all or nothing!!! I have no fabulous story to tell other than I was direct and blunt about my request. I was also at the store at the busiest time of the day which was in the morning and I got extremely lucky. I have shopped at this store before and the prior sales associate I’ve worked with was not helpful so I just went with the luck of the draw. So being random may help?? I also purchased a jacket after and the alteration was done within a day!! I wish I could say the same about the sale. Oh well at least one great experience outweighed the other! Good luck everyone!
Congrats on getting this forever classic beauty !

Great score!! Last October I remember an SA from Sevres told me...“pls don’t say black”... lol... Noir is not as easy to get as the colors (higher demand)... congrats!!:tup:
 
Finally..... Paris has been good to me this time.... as you all know 2017 I did try 2x March and November with hubby and no luck..

Landed January 11, thinking that Hermes sale is 3 days long....
apparently I can't change any of my flight and hotel... to make my story short..

It was success this time.. Yay!!! dream come true in Paris ... I promise to do the reveal when I come back home soon... im still completing my wish lists.. that never ends...:p

the hat's are from the Hermes sale.. :annoyed:

all the things that I want are not on sale ..:biggrin:

Thanks all. My first birkin was a b35, then I bought a black b30 two years ago, a black k25 (last year) and now a black k28 kelly. I’m excited cause now my black collection is complete! Now I have a black entourage! All I am hoping for is the Rose poupre b30!!!
 
I'll be in Paris visiting FSH again soon around 11-Feb. Will let you know the details if I have any :) I figured that my detailed reports of the last Hermes encounter in Paris a couple of times last year was really appreciated by some on here. For anyone in London - just so you're aware there is a massive Eurostar sale so grab your ticket!

If there's anyone who's in Paris around this time; please pm me and we can catch up!

I think I’m going to ban island for now !!! I didn’t score that much during the sale in Paris because Hermes took all my money [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] and orange boxes makes me happy ...

Feel so happy for you that you’ve managed to get a haul this trip! Patience and perseverance paid off.

I love the painting in your hotel room! Which hotel is it?

What a loot! How’d u get through customs with all that??!!! :graucho:
 
Congratulation on your score @mcpro ! Love how each item matches each other. Are these your lucky finds or you specifically requested for them? :biggrin: My wishlist always falls short & theres ways one or two things that doesn't match to what I really want. You did well there!
 
So I've been looking for this bomber jacket in size 44 for forever. I live in the US so we never get sizes smaller than 46. Can anyone in France check if the store has a 44 of this jacket??

the product # is: H742200HC0144 . I would really appreciate it.
