Thanks very much~ I still couldn’t believe it happened and am worrying that it would not materialise.... But if it does eventually, I think it s a good example to show ppl that it s OKAY to say no to offers that are not to your liking! There is always a “no worries, next time” as I have lost count saying this during my not so long H journey! Though i did have my “down” moments accepting the “no”sssssss

How did your appointment go? I didn’t have any luck on C either at my appointment but I wish they had sth nice for u~ ^^

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

I don’t see successful scores this week! Is it because of the fashion week? (I heard it’s always low inventory during and right after fashion week.) Any TPFers in Paris please share your experience with us ;)

I was there towards end of FW and scored a B with the exact specifications I was after!. I too was very surprised as I thought it would be tough during fashion week :)

I actually saw quite a number of resellers getting bags (black and gold Ks, ostrich B, croc KP, patchwork K) just this past week and one was even teasing a famous Chinese artist for not getting croc emerald on IG while they managed to get one so I think stock s actually alright... maybe just Becoz more interested parties are there~

Congrats @smileygirl ! Please share your story~ ^^

How do you know they are resellers? I thought stocks should be low since there’s no updates on this forum. Maybe it’s not tourist month.
