Hi guys, I've been reading this thread for a while.
I've been wanting to thanks you guys for all the tips!

I'm visiting Paris again during New Year.
Wondering if anyone have a clue regarding the stocks during the New Year,
I'm visiting on 3-5th January, really worried that the stock is low and I will have less chance to score a K
Please help advise!

I just came back from Paris. I was able to buy a B25 (George V) C24 ostrich and Mini Kelly (FSH) all under my passport in 3 days. My dad got a B30 as well for my mom. I got an appointment after 4th try, my dad on the 5th attempt. My dad's only purchase history ever in all of europe is a 123 euro gift set.

Congrats! Lucky you! May I ask how much was the mini Kelly in Paris?

I've been trying for an appointment since I arrived on a Saturday. Sat, Mon, Tue, Wed - no luck. This is a total of 3 passport (me, my dad, sister) attempts for 3 days (9 chances). We were leaving the next saturday so I got really frustrated that none of us still have no appointment for wed so I went straight to George V to try my luck. This is where I got my B25 on Wed morning. Come wed night, my sister and I received messages that we both have appointments for Friday since Nov 1 (Thur) was a holiday. My dad still tried for the 5th time and got an appointment on our last day where he was able to buy the B30. My sister wasnt able to get any b or k but she got two evelyne tpm in gold hardware.

I already got a B but I still showed up on my appointment because I was hoping to get a constance. I just thought there is nothing to lose anymore if I try to ask. Lo and behold that my SA showed me C24 and mini k and even told me that I can buy both.

It was really frustrating at first not getting appointments for three consecutive days but we didnt gave up and ended up getting more than what we hoped for. We just kept on trying until our last day there.

Sharing our b and k haul :)

Congrats on your Paris trip. They normally don’t allow 2 bags on the same passport especially a Kelly and Birkin. Tell us you secret.. Hopefully If I get an appointment and try also.

This is what I know also. I just tried asking since I have an appointment and I have nothing to lose anymore, my mind was set to just get an evelyne. But when I asked and the SA showed me, who am I to complain right. I did not buy any jewelry, rtw, or any high valued item for that matter. Maybe I just got really lucky? or the mini k and constance aren't really quota bags? or not quota bags for this particuIar period? I honestly dont know the answer.

I tried making appmt yesterday and arrived Paris this morning. I got no for both tries, my sister and myself. So we tried again with online appmt this morning for tomorrow.

Then I decided to checked out at the one on George V, but the male SA I met had a little attitude problem and he just bluntly said nothing was available. So I tried to show up at FSH store just to see if I’m lucky enough to fill in a slot when someone cancels his appointment. I got there ard 1:30pm, went straight to the counter at the bag section on ground floor, where they replied there wasn’t any available slot and asked me to come back check again ard 4:00pm if I want to. So I did it again, but still no slot.

Hiwever I was lucky enough to find my SA from previous successful visit on my way out. Better yet, he recognised me from my last year visit. I chatted with him a bit and was told that he was assigned to another section for two weeks and he couldn’t be able to help me with bags this time. But it’s all good that I could now reconnect with her, for future visits.

Then we returned to our hotel where an email of saying no for appmt of my sister and mine for tomorrow awaited. We will keep on trying until we leave this weekend. Wish us luck!
