I am really thankful to this thread and members wishing me luck , gave me the courage to try obtain a bag in Paris, so here is my story to share, my bf and I got denied total of 9 times in 4 days trip, base to other tpf members experience , we made the appointment a day before we arrived Paris assuming will got denial for the first try.
During the 4 days with no success appointment for FSH, I had stop by both George v and 24 sevres everyday, I have told that there are no delivery of b/k/c for 2 days in sevres, so I bought a scarf , card holder , 2 travel pouches and a bag strap on my first day visit , and it was the first reopening for George v so no b/k/c stock available too, unlucky me. I even stops by fsh everyday to check if any cancellations and NO every time.
When the same SA saw me on the 3rd day, I bet her is tire of me going to ask her the same thing again, she told me she is busy and have me to assign another SA , this really makes me upset , when I met the new SA , he asked what else I want to buy besides b/k, I told him my list , and he said it’s better to buy all my list together inorder to offer a bag, but they don’t have most of the stuffs available and b/k/c. My BF told me he saw the SA and host is shaking their head after I turn back and leave. At this point I really don’t want to go back for further try. It ruin my mood for the whole day when you keep seeing them mumbling French behind you. So my Bf and I spend our last night in Paris visiting the louvre.
Suprisly I got a message for confirmed appointment at 11:30 am FSH while we exploring the museum! this is the 5th try for me to success and my bf still got denied. Our flight departs on 2:30pm. I lined up outside fsh before they open, I went straight to the 2nd floor and let the host know I have a flight to catch hope they can assign me early, the host have me wait aside, she need to assign others with 10:30 am appointment first, there are only 2 people before me so I got signed in very quick, i had a good feeling when I first met my SA, he looks very gentle and polite unlike the ones I met in George v.
We chat a bit, I told him my last 3 days disappointed stories at the other two stores and I am about to leave Paris, I told him I am looking for a b or k , if not c or Kelly pochette works, but must be GHW to match my jewelry, my preference for the colors are wide, just no purple or pink, he noted down my wish list and ask if anything else I want , I told him if I am lucky to get a bag I would want a twilly or bag charm to match with it, he asked me for me passport and we looked into my profile, he can see what I have bought during these 4 days in Paris, I would say it’s about 4k euro in total purchases , I think he is making sure if I get any quota bags, then he went to check, my heart is bumping out while waiting and saw the lady next to me following her sa into a room with 3 big orange boxe! So jealous! I waited my SA for about 30mintues , he came back with 4 really tiny boxes , seems for card holders or wallets, and a medium size orange box. I am little worry at this time, I follow him to the room, he just leave the door open, this makes me further nervous, we sat down and he said I have a size 25kelly to show you , i am beyond happy when I heard this, he opened the medium orange box and it’s in Blue azur Togo leather with GHW! I said yes and gave him a hug! The other 3 small boxes are 2 paddock charms and calvi card holders, I picked one charm and we went down stair and picked a twilly. I asked for his business card, thank him again and hurry rush to airport.
I must say there were many moments really makes you disappointed with no hope, for me I feel is more important on which SA you assigned to but not which store you go. so here are the photos of my kelly 25 , I have match with my new strap purchased in sevres .
Best luck to all of you still on hunting!
