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 have followed this thread for a few years and finally found the time to write about my experience.

I went to Paris at the end of January with my DH and 2 DS. Two weeks before my trip I emailed the lovely SA, from Sevres, that sold me a C24 on my previous trip to Paris. I gave her my desired colors and sizes. She responded and told me which day she worked that week and looked forward to seeing me. When I arrived in Paris, I logged on the H website for an appt at FSH. I was able to get an appt on my first try! However, they didn’t have any B/K/C in my desired size or neutral color. I wasn’t very surprised that I wasn’t successful but very hopeful my Sevres SA would have something for me.

When I showed up to Sevres my SA was with another customer so I browsed until she was done. When she was finally able to help me she asked me what I was looking for that day. I told her a B/K/C in a neutral color. After 10min, she came back and told me to follow her to the women’s fitting room. It was a K28 black PHW Togo leather!! She looked at my profile and saw that I haven’t purchased a K in Paris yet so she knew I’d love it. I immediately said yes and was over the moon. I was so excited that I didn’t bother inspecting the bag closely. When I got to the hotel I was admiring the bag and noticed it had a horseshoe symbol. I know this means it was a SO but I was puzzled as to why someone would order a black k28 Togo leather. I looked but couldn’t find anything that was “special” about it. The exterior and interior was all black with PHW. I’m still super excited about it and feel extremely lucky to have been offered this bag.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I can’t tell from your pic whether it’s Sellier. Togo Sellier is SO only.

I'm currently in Paris, have tried to get an appointment for monday, today and tomorrow with no luck. I'll go tomorrow to hear if they've had any cancellations, but at this point I'm not very optimistic. I'm leaving on Friday.

I wish i saw this earlier. I had an appointment for today at 11:35am and cancelled because I was able to score a bag using my BFs appointment the day before

@azukitea FSH had lots of 2002s available for purchase last week. I had my choice of magnolia, rose pourpre, ambre, bleu brighton, and others. There is also a larger version in black and toile - it was on display and for sale at FSH and at least on display at Georges V.

When I told my SA I wanted a constance she asked if a 2002 would fulfill my crossbody desire. So I assume they have some in stock to purchase.

Congrats! Did you buy a lot of things to build up your spending history before being offered the C24 in Sevres? I thought it’s more difficult for tourists to build relationships with SAs in stores other than FSH. Many thanks!

I hardly purchased much btwn the C24 and this Kelly. Just a clic clac and belt kit, both from FSH. My Sevres SA doesn’t seem to care if I made more purchases than the K she offered. I told her I was also looking for a GP and calvi on the day I bought my Kelly. They didn’t have any colors I like in the GP so she referred upstairs to look at calvis with another SA. However, I’m guessing most SA would like you to purchase more things.

Honestly, I haven’t bought much prior to being offered the C24. I was lucky enough to have been offered a B35 from FSH before that. The main thing is being lucky enough to meeting a SA who you connect with. For me, I never really found a SA from FSH I could connect with. FSH is much busier, the SAs I had never seemed to want to make any small talk as I was trying to use all the tips I learned from this thread. Thankfully, I met my SA in Sevres and that all changed. She is so warm, kind and I never felt like she was rushed or I wasting her time.
