I went to Sevres at opening as I have low hopes for my late appointment at FSH today (6:40 pm) and wanted to try my second-to-last chance. Nobody in that first cohort was offered any K/B and I heard that there was no morning delivery. I saw a black Lindy and magnolia Verrou being offered.

Has anyone had luck recently at FSH?

You might get lucky at FSH with their afternoon delivery.

Thank you! I would love to get a K28 retourne, gold hardware, in Gris Asphalte. Or any grey (excepte gris mouette, I really don't like that color). I am also open to any shade of blue. Just not the pinks, red or orange shades.
I am also considering a B30 with the same specs :smile:

I hope you get an appointment on the last day and get the bag of your dreams! Even if you don’t get an appointment, I’d still go to the store to see if they can squeeze you in or if they have any no shows. All the very best of luck and let us know how you go!

So... this is how the story goes.

My trip was not supposed to happen but had no other choice. In order to keep my airline status I had to do yet another mileage run before end of the year. So I dragged my partner in crime aka baby sis in a very tiring road trip over to this side of Atlantic.

We started our trip elsewhere and ended up arriving in Paris evening of Wednesday. I was a bit worried about not making my appt time if granted an appt slot before my train hits Paris. But that was a rather wishful thinking as I got the dreaded “thank you for your keen interest” text. And the same for Thursday slots again. But third times the charm, I finally got the text I’ve been waiting for last night. However, sis was BITTER as she was rejected yet again.

My appt was 10:30am and I didn’t bother to arrive early as I am so done with any sort of queuing these days. By the time I got to leather hostess, it was few mins past 10:30 and most of, if not all of 10:30 slot folks were assigned SAs and spread out all over the stores.

My SA of the day was a very lovely young lady who I have never seen before. I told her I wanted a K, with size preference in order of 25, 28, and 20. I wanted nothing Togo, Black, or in fact anything that was neutral colored no matter how popular they may be. And if no K available, I would also like a C24, which a shade in blue might work as most of my bags are too “rosy.”

While she left to check, I of course started to check out the other customers. (And bitter sis busied herself registering for tomorrow’s appt) Store seemed busy but not as insanely bad as I would’ve expected during pre Christmas week. Only bag I actually noticed being shown was an etoupe GP to a young couple 10 feet away from me though, as most of other 10:30 slot customers were being served further away.

I couldn’t really tell if couple with GP was happy with the bag or not. I think they wanted to see gold, which I suppose they also had. But SA told them they can only see one bag at a time. And they can’t buy both bags either. Yikes. H certainly does not make shopping fun. In the end they took the bag, but looked somewhat upset about how H works.

After few more mins of people watching, I spotted my SA returning. I almost gave up as I thought she was empty handed at first, with register station blocking my view in certain way. But yay! She was carrying some boxes, with one definitely holding a bag that fits my spec!!

Half minute later, we were in a private room and SA started with small things. A couple of card cases they started doing. Design itself is very petit H but it’s somehow supposed to be not. While I do have very similar ones back home I thought why not get one more.

And then she proceeded to apologize for not having any K or B (didn’t want a B but she said just in case) but had something she thought I might like.

tada!

It’s a C24 in Bleu Hydra. I was totally not expecting this bag at all. In fact, I wasn’t aware such bag existed. While not exactly meeting my expectation of blue (I think I was imagining myself with something more navy bluish) I did want hydra mini K when they first came out. And as my most used H bag is Rose Jaipur C24, I thought this total opposite color would be a nice addition. Even though I really do like Ks, in reality I use Cs more and lastly, this would be my first Evercolor bag. So I said yes (as already can be told from the pic) and now done with H shopping for the trip.

Of course, sis is still very BITTER so I guess at least one more visit before going back home? Hopefully she gets an appt for tomorrow.

Hope other members in Paris all get what they wanted!
