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'.

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 have to be really honest and say this is the worst time to have a large range of stock to choose from, as bad as the peak August craftsmen break. But you never know. Maybe the H fairies will smile on you. Good luck.

Hi all, I am planning a visit to FSH or Sevres this week / next week depending on whether I can get an appointment. Would like to check if you had any advice on request for a K25/28 in heritage leathers? Preferably Barenia, Box, Butler, or even Chamonix. Do any of you have any advice on which leather is more readily available? Would it also be better to try for FSH over Sevres?

I have purchase history generally throughout France and my last purchase in June at FSH this year was a mini bolide in Fauve Barenia. I haven't bought a B or a K this year, just last October. I don't have a regular SA in Paris.

Thanks all!

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.

Congrats, you are so lucky!! May I ask if you bought anything at George V before getting your birkin?

Congrats ! I would have taken it and run. Either Magnolia or RP is stunning. There is just more pink in the Magnolia. Tell us more about your story. Did you get the appointment on first trial? and did you buy anything prior to that at FSH?

Hello everyone. I just got back from Paris and I wanted to share some info which some may find useful. For those of you who aren’t successful in making an appt through the online system you should absolutely try getting a same day appointment in the afternoon. Don’t go sooner than 2pm as they will most likely not have any openings so early in the day. Also, FSH doesn’t get any deliveries on Saturday. That doesn’t mean they don’t have stock but if you are looking for something very specific or a very sought after color etc, your chances are better on a weekday. Lastly, if you have an SA with whom you have worked with before and you do get an appointment you can ask for them when you check in and if they are available they can help you. I hope this helps!

Hi everyone! I’ve scored two bags last week at FSH store. My husband received appointment on 3rd attempt and I’ve got an appointment on 4th try. My husband had purchase history of only 1Xbirkin bag more than 3yrs ago and I had purchase history of 1 pair of shoes for myself. Both of times, sales associate asked us whether we had shop there before and all we said were “yes” and birkin im carrying that day was from there more than 3yrs ago. My husband’s appointment was 2:15pm but it has been delayed to about 4:20. We arrived store about 4pm and let receptionist that we are here for appointment. I was carrying birkin 30 noir color and staff asked me straight away after say hi , which bag im looking for than I told her I would like to get birkin25 etoupe togo leather but neutral color is also fine and either for kelly, Im interested in black 25cm epsom sellier leather. If both of them are not availabe, Im also happy to get constance but I prefer to get birkin25 or kelly25. After about long 15-20mins she came back with Gris asphalt kelly25cm in epsom sellier and fourbi insert. My SA told me that Im carring birkin black color, so she thought Kelly in neutral color would be nice for me. She also mentioned that she personally like gris asphalt more than etoupe. I was really happy to take her offer and I also took forbi insert as well as twilly that matches my bag. She was very straight forward. She didnt take us private room or upstairs. We were just waiting in front of leather department reception and she brought the bag and opened. So I was thinking maybe she didnt take us seriously. More stories to follow..
