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.

Good evening everyone! Today DH and I tried all three stores in the morning - Sèvre told us there’s simply no stock and asked us to come back the following day. The male Sa asked us how long are we staying Paris, is this a hint that there might be a B available? Anyway I purchased a pair of shoes at this store and headed to the George V Hermes - was told no stock either, no surprise here. Then we decided to check out the FSH store anyway although our appointment application failed multiple times. And we tried to ask at 4pm if anyone canceled their appointment and of course the answe is no since it’s monday and everyone came for the H goodies. I figured since we are already at the FSH, why not get 2 twillies just so my purchase history doesn’t show ‘0’ and it might increase my chance to get an appointment. Later, at 7:30pm, finally DH got an appointment confirmed text and email, yay! However, we tried to open the link to follow up on the appointment, it shows the link is broken... Does anyone know the reason for this? Should we check later? I’m so nervous I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight, praying to god that I can score a B tomorrow!!! Any tips are welcomed as I know August is a bad month because of low stock.

If you’re close by, I’d suggest going every day.. the SA who helped me at the flagship without ever getting an appt online told me she was giving me a bag because I showed up everyday for 3 days to try and get one

I think your Sèvres SA is simply waiting for stock to come in. Don’t read too much into what the SAs say. I think most are really sincere and straightforward.

I don’t really know where to post this but those patiently waiting for Lizard, GOOD NEWS- it is making a small comeback. My SA said he knows his colleague in FSH sold a Red Lizard 25B a few months ago. We are both happy cos Lizard takes colour very well and can be really pretty in the right specs. Almost 99% push offer so no point asking our SMs.

Hi Ladies!
I’m going to Paris on the 31 of November to celebrate my wedding anniversary hoping to get a Hermes gift:smile:
Has anyone been to Paris in the beginning of November? Is it possible to get a bag then? Will the store be closed on November 1? I’ve read that there will be ATP World Tour in tennis in Paris at exactly same weekend we are there, will it decrease my chances?

I went during ATP event once (side note, it is good event especially court 1, you can really see the action) and did not get a bag but I only tried once and had very specific request. I don't think that event made a difference in inventory though. The store will close November 1. Good luck!

I am in Paris at the moment and scored my first Birkin 25 at the FSH store. Both my husband and I tried to make appointments but was both rejected twice and accepted on the third try. It turned out to be a Saturday where they don’t get new stock.

My SA told me that August is a bad month due to the heavy artisan vacation schedule. Queue very low stock. I got extremely lucky and loved my SA - he was awesome and just the type I get along with.

I was offered a B25 Etain GHW Togo, B30 Bleu Electric and K28 Gris Pearle. He told me some others they had but those were closest to my wish list.

I ended up with the B25 Etain as I felt it was the best option as my first Birkin. I am really kicking myself for not considering the B30 BE more.

We got a different SA for my husband’s appointment literally 40 mins later. He told us no stock but I think he was lying. On reflection, I didn’t approach this correctly - I should have asked my SA to help my husband and then get him to show me the B30 too. Would have scored both but I shouldn’t be greedy.

Congratulations I would love a Birkin in Etain ❤️

Hi
Am reaching Paris late Saturday evening...
I fly out on Friday- tomorrow- 7pm from the USA (which is 4am saturday in Paris.)
To apply for a Monday appt should i try Friday evening before I leave here?? Or wait until Saturday night when I reach Paris??
Does it matter?
I only have one day in Paris before I head out to Belgium so I understand my chances of getting an appointment are negligible anyway.

You can only apply 24h in advance, Paris time. Monday appt should be booked on Sat because it’s closed on Sun. Hence, depending on your time zone difference, it could be Fri evening I guess.
