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? ):

Nobody here can tell you
It's all luck
You just have to try and try
Both online and walk in

I’m trying to make appointment online but it says site is currently closed at 11am. Why is that? Been trying.

It’s a holiday today in Europe so site and store is closed

It all depends how hungry the sa you encounter with

wasn't there that rule: 0.75 of the value for less frequented stores up to 1.5 / 2 times for high touristy stores, having in mind that scarfs and leather goods won't count?

I for myself would like to know in which time period you are supposed to spend that money. Anyone an idea on that?

It has been quite a few years since I bought my Bolide in Paris, well before the appointment system. Can you no longer walk in a purchase any of the non-B or K bags which might be on the floor in cases without an appointment? If I wanted something such as a mini Evelyne or another Bolide would I also have to try for an appointment?

Hi Ladies,

My lovely husband has decided to stop by Paris on his way back from Vietnam to the US to try and get me a Constance and/or Birkin. Just to clarify, is it still one Hermes bag per passport per year? Thanks for the input and help.

Hi, for non B,K,C you don't have to make an appointment.

Yes! but some of the ladies here mentioned it's one bag per passport in 6 months.

You need to make an appointment for all handbags. This is what I was told when I tried to purchase an non B/K/C. I guess they changed the system because people would buy other bags and try to get the B/K/C bags.

I was in FSH this week. Yes, you need an appointment for every bag. They hat a Herbag on display and didn't sell it to my friend, because she had none. The next day she had one and she got the bag. It's a little bit weird.
And we were told, that the maximum is 2 bags a year, but only for b/k/c.

They start acting plain ridiculous. Sorry.

That's too bad. I thought it doesn't matter if you bought the two bags together. As long as it was in a year span and not every 6 months. Thats ridiculous. I may not even want to purchase them at all then.

Thank you so much!
