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 ladies! Finally I have something to write here. I’ve just got home after staying 4 days in Paris for our anniversary. I tried for the appointment before I left on Wednesday both for me and my husband and got rejected. The same happened on our second attempt and the third as well:sad: 6 appointments in total and only rejections. No purchase history in France. But I still have a lucky story to tell:smile:
We arrived on Thursday and we went to the store directly after checking-in asking for any cancellations. It was around 11. There were none. Thank You ladies who advised here to stay at Sofitel which is a minute walk from FSH! We were travelling with our 2 year old and it was a very short walk to Hermes for us:smile:
We decided to go to Hermes George V because I wanted to try my luck there and I was really lucky there.
Even though I got the bag of my dreams I still tried for the appointments at FSH and living next door made it easy to pass by them twice a day. On the second day which was Friday I was at FSH in the morning again asking for cancellations. None. I am a very persistent person and I came back to FSH later the same day and I got as assistant actually. She put down my preferences and came back with a Mosaique bag which I didn’t like. She told me to come back on Saturday but there was no BKC for me then either.
Sorry for a long post but what I want to say is that you should be persistent wanting a BKC in my opinion.
Here is my reveal, the bag I wanted, Birkin 30, Togo, Rouge H which I got at Hermes George V with no previous history in Paris and without mentioning the color or leather only BKC and that I want a small bag, not 35.View attachment 4235527

Congrats, such a great story, and it's a perfect colour for the autumn season.
Question for you at G V, did you have to make some smaller purchases before you asked?

Thank you for all your kind words ladies!
We were there to buy a scarf and a belt for my DH. He didn’t like any scarf but ended up buying a belt. When he told our SA that he’s buying the belt I just asked her if there is any BKC in small size.
Later when she showed me the bag I told her that we are in Paris to celebrate our anniversary and she asked me why I didn’t tell her this before:) who knows what she could offer me otherwise;) I am very happy and pleased with my bag in any case.

Congratulations on your new bag.. It must be a lucky day for you!!! And happy anniversary..

Even for me as a I've a purchase history at George V, I still need to spend more than a belt.. You should keep your relationship with your SA..

Thank you MsAli, ZZZZZZZ and nsolanki! Yes, I think I was lucky:smile: my husband can’t understand why it is so difficult to get a BKC and he was telling me all the way back to our hotel how easy it was to get a bag at George V;)

Congratulations for your beautiful Rouge G! :girlsigh:

Lol about your hubby!
Leave him to that impression so when he ever goes to Paris again, you can ask him to try again for you and I’m sure he wouldn’t complain since “it was easy to get a bag” ;)

Just realized today is a holiday in Paris. And the website is closed for appointments. I’m only going to Paris for one day on Friday.

Do you think there’s a chance for me to score an appointment even without the online system? ):
