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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

Part 4: Behind the Scenes
It turns out that when my boyfriend was talking to our SA on Wednesday he asked her if there was any way possible he can speak to someone about getting on the rooftop because he wanted to propose to me there. She almost started tearing and went to look for a manager to tell them about his request and they forwarded the request to Michael. That was when the management team came down with Michael, which was when I spotted him and asked for a photo with him. When I was too busy checking out the photos on my phone, my boyfriend told Michael about his plans and asked if he wanted to propose that day, but he did not have the ring on him… Oh, remember when my boyfriend asked about the restroom? Well, he didn’t need to use the restroom, he was chatting with our SA and told her Michael confirmed for Saturday at 2:30 for us to check out the rooftop garden. All along the hostess, chef (yes, they have a chef upstairs), leather department team, management team, our SA and Michael knew about his planned proposal! This trip to Paris couldn’t have been any better. It was perfect! Thank you all for letting me share my story about my trip to Paris for Hermes.
Fun fact: We are the 2 couple to get engaged on the rooftop garden :heart:
Sorry I am not sure how to rotate the attached photos

Thank you :smile: Yes, Hermes is very accommodating. We were really happy with the experience.

I purchased a K35 two years ago. And my DH purchased a clic h bracelet like four years ago. That was it. Lindy and C were purchased under DH’s name. B was under my name.

DH’s SA did look up my purchase history (she was trying to look for DH’s but couldn’t find it, so she asked for mine). And we did reserve one men’s bracelet and one clic h earlier that day, but she didn’t seem to know we had them reserved until we checked out all four items.

I never had Constance in mind, it was very nice of her to bring this up and showed two of them to us.

My SA didn’t ask for my purchase history. I think she was in a good mood that day LOL. She basically just came with a big smile and asked me what I wanted, took a pic of the list I created for my DH’s appointment, then came back super fast with a Birkin that made me and people passed by very shocked!

Thank you for your detailed response, Princess Cathryn!

Thank you for your answer! What’s about croco Kelly Pochette?Is it possible to get it as well?
I’ve been obsessed with the idea of getting a croco Kelly Pochette lately and I just wonder how high my chances are of getting it from Paris. Or I just should buy it from the reseller:(

Sure
High chance =high spending
Otherwise you can forget about it
Getting kp is tough enough and you want an exotic

My guess is there’s not as much strategy, therefore you don’t need to stay current within the thread. There’s no magic formula of figuring out what time to try to queue...you apply for a random appointment and keep trying if you don’t get one.

There’s no fighting and ranting over line cutters, resellers, or waiting 8 hours just to not get an appointment (let alone a bag). It’s a lesser inconvenience on your trip (other than the shifting appointment times which hasn’t changed), and overall, less hurt feelings.

Even if I’m not as active on the forum as I usually am, I will always read the Paris thread ....so I wish more would share their story. I’m not planning on going to Paris and I don’t have an issue getting offered bags, but there’s something fascinating about the thread. Literally, it’s people’s dreams/fairytales of buying a bag from FSH for various reasons....where in other situations, they may have not been able to get their dream bag (location, spending profile, availability). It just really makes me feel happy for them.

So if you went to Paris and were just a thread lurker, please share! Successful or not, I love hearing the stories...it’s my favorite thread on PF!
