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 was at Serves yesterday as well! I was offered a bolide 1923 in vert vertigo in novillo leather but declined. Was searching for a bolide 35, Kelly 32 or birkin 30. I also have an appointment at FSH at 10:30 today. Hoping for better luck. Shelves at Serve were very bare(compared to stores in the US), but was very impressed by how large the store was. Quite beautiful.

Update! No b/k but I did score a black bolide 35. IMG_0640.jpg

Hi all, understand that getting a B/K is kinda depends on your luck; but just wondering how about getting other items in Paris Hermes store? Like Herbag, Kelly wallet, Picotin? Is it easier like walk in and able to get? Thanks in advanced!

After following this thread for a few yrs I finally hv a story to share!!!

Arrived in Paris yesterday but couldn’t get an apt so I headed to Sevres. Picked out a scarf & headed downstairs to leather. No SAs avl so I went to chk out shoes. While I was trying on a pair of slides my SA walked up & introduced herself. She asked for my list & I advised my dream bag is 28 or 32 bleu nuit kelly ghw but I was also interested in neutral colors & wasn’t choosy with leather options. Also mentioned that I wanted a jige & she stated I couldn’t get both today but one today & the other tomorrow which I found strange. She offered my friend & I beverages, brought them back & then left for no less than 15 mins. When she returned she only had thin boxes & my heart sank. She showed me a jige in a blueish color & one in green but I passed on both. A clous ring was also on my list so I went to jewelry to try it on. Wasn’t in love with the bracelet & asked for the bracelet which they didn’t have in stock. The SA chkd on her mobile & saw that FSH had one so paid for my scarf & trotted over to FSH.

At FSH I went straight to jewelry to check out the bracelet. After deciding to get it I asked the SA if it was possibly for me to see a leather specialist today but she advised she wasn’t sure but I could go inquire. Arriving in leather the host advised there were no apts today. I asked if she could mk me one & she advised no but I still had time to mk one online. I already had a request in but figured I would ask [emoji6]

Later that eve I rcvd the good news that I was confirmed an apt for Friday (today) at 12:45. Of course the time chngd to 1:00 to 1:30 & finished at 1:25. I rcvd a text stating my SA was avl so I went off to meet them in the upper level leather section.

He was nice from the start & asked for my list & again I advised bleu nuit ghw Kelly 28/32 was my top pick but was open to neutrals as well as black. Waited around for what felt like forever when my SA returned with a large box & asked me to follow him to a back room.

Once we arrived there he advised he thinks I will be happy with his selection. It was a 32 bleu nuit ghw [emoji2] I was overjoyed & almost cried. Of course I said yes. He offered a few twilly options & I ended up getting two diff ones but decided the insert. Oddly he brought another bag & asked if I was interested. This was a stark diff btwn yesterday where the SA said I couldn’t get the jige & Kelly in one day. I declined the bag & asked for a jige but was shown the same colors at FSH that I saw at Sevres so I passed.

I can’t believe I was able to find my dream bag & can now relax during the rest of my trip

Hi ladies! Congrats to all who have scored their dream bags in Paris and thanks for sharing all the wonderful stories.

I have a question.. I am planning to go to Paris with my husband and my father in law. If we r lucky enough to score 3 online appointments... will there be a problem of me showing up in all 3 appointments? Or should I have my husband and his Dad attend theirs separately with my wishlist?

Thank u so much for any advice!!

You can attend all three, provided they are at different times. However they almost always insist that the person with the appointment has to be there and be the one to purchase the item (i.e. Person must be there, and the name on the credit card must match the name on the passport for the appointment)
