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.

Hi everyone,

I went back a few dozen pages and read quite a bit but still have some questions.
I saw many people referencing Ks, Bs, Cs, and Ls, but no mentions of the picotin. I guess they're not that popular?
Are these more readily available than other bags? Will I need an appointment to try on/purchase a picotin?
Can anyone link me to the site to make an app? And which stores would I have the better chance with inventory as I am looking for a pretty specific color and hardware. I am not looking to spend the price of the picotin in other products just to be offered a picotin though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I was offered a picotin 22 in electric blue with croc handle along with a kelly at FSH. I didn't take the picotin because it was too big... (i wanted a P18). good luck!

Hi @eiffel21,
My best friend is in Paris and she has tried 2 days for an appointment but rejected. Then she went to Sevres to try her luck, waited 1.5 hours to be served but it took 5 seconds for the SA to say, "Sorry no deliveries of BKC today". Her husband has banned her from stepping into Hermes store for the rest of their trip!
The struggle is real..
Hope you get your appointment tomorrow! All the best!

My first H experience was way worse than your friend's. Back then it was the waiting outside to get an appt. We tried 5 times in 4 days, nothing. We still got a few items that I had been wanting. My husband was also pretty mad at the whole experience. But here we are, a couple of years later, I have a few Bs and Ks and one C. It could be a bit frustrating in the beginning, but it usually gets better. :biggrin:

Hi all, I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I’ll be going to Paris next month and was wondering how the apt system works at FSH....

1. If I want to go on a Monday, I’d have to attempt to make an appointment on Saturday. On the website, it says to make an apt sometime between 10:30-6:30pm, so I can do it earlier in the day? Bc I’ll be on a plane around 6pm that Saturday.
2. Also, would it be possible to get a later time in the day? I already made lunch reservations for Monday at 12. I’m worried that I’ll get a time slot too close to lunch and I can’t make my lunch. Thank you!!

First of all, hank you for all the encouragement, TPF is the best!

I am happy to update you that even though I didn’t have an appointment I managed to score something at FSH earlier today. Sorry for the long post, but this thread had helped me scored my bag at FSH, so I’d like to contribute to help other TPFers [emoji813]️

I have a list of items that I wanted to get at FSH so we were there at FSH yesterday. The store was so busy that I were only helped at the jewelry department. The shoes department was sooo busy that my DH lost his patience and told me to come back the next day (ie today).

So after lunch today, even though I didn’t get an appointment, we went back to FSH to get the rest of the items on my list. The store was not as busy, and one SA helped me with everything that I need. As I connected with her pretty well, I asked her if it would be possible for her to check if there’s a cancellation at the leather department. She told me that I need to make an appointment, and I told her I did try but I was rejected. So she said she will check.

She came back 10 or so minutes later, and said as the store was not busy she will be able to help me. I can’t believe my luck!, and so I told her what i have in mind. She then said she will check and see if she can find anything for me.

Twenty or so minutes later, she came back with one big box and two smaller boxes!

She took us upstairs and opened up the shrink wrapped box and revealed a K28 RP!!

I was hesitant for a minute or so, as I was worried the color is too “loud” for me. She took me to one of the rooms with a huge mirror, and that was it. I was sold! With what I wear, mostly black, I can definitely rock it, plus it is such a chameleon [emoji813]️

She also offered a bag charm, which I declined (I am not a bag charm person) and a fourbi which I also declined.

Without further ado, here’s a peek of my newest addition, will post the proper picture when I get home.

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement!! [emoji813]️[emoji813]️[emoji813]️

Thank you ninunani, my list was long, so I got a few silver rings, silver necklace, silver bracelets, a few sandals, a pair of shoes, twillys, after shave for DH, EDT for DD, and a few belts. I think those are it...
