Just wanted to share my FSH experience. We landed in Paris last Tuesday. After checking in our hotel. I have received a text stated "Thank you for your keen interest in Hermes. Unfortunately due to a large number of requests we are unable to consider your application further. Our hostesses remain at your entire disposal for any additional information." The following day we have decided to go to the store to buy a necklace. I met this lovely SA and showed me a few new accessories. I picked a necklace and then she asked me if there's anything else I'm looking for. I then share her my H wishlist. She said, wait here and let me see what I can find. After few minutes, she returned with two boxes. She showed me two sizes of Evelyne. They are both beautiful and Evelyne is one on my wishlist however I wasn't that thrilled when the first time I lay my eyes on it. So, after purchasing the necklace we left and she handed me her business card. In that same evening, I received another text and we didn't get an appointment. I email the lovely SA to thank her for helping me and then I shared with her that I didnt get an appointment. I also asked if the store has this emerald necklace that I was looking for. She email me back and said yes, she has the necklace. We set up a time to meet.
We arrived at FSH, took the necklace and she told me she found a B25 in Togo (Noir) in rose gold.
I can't believe it. I was so happy that I gave the SA a hug.
Here she is:

TIA for your feedback.

I did once when I made 2 appointments under the same cell number (requests were for me and my DH). I only got a request back from one. I did not know you had to use distinct phone numbers for each request but I used separate phones going forward and did not have a problem.

The only advice anyone can give you is to try for an appointment at FSH every day and then ask for what you want if you get an appointment. If you don't get an appointment, go to one of the other stores (or even FSH) and spent a boat load of money (10k+) on fine jewelry and then ask for a bag as well.

Additional scores:
My husband and I returned to FSH for the last time before heading back to US.
I'm still disbelief that I have able to take home another Birkin in this trip. B30 PHW Noir in Epson along with two rodeo PM (noir/noir and rouge/gold).
Happy early 40th birthday to me.

HAPPY 40th! So you scored two blacks in difference sizes and hardware ? What a dream

Dear Ladies and Gents: I hope that my recent experience at FSH, for the week of February 17th will be helpful to you. Unfortunately, I did not have the wonderful luck that @Cyu511 had on her trip. In fact, I never received an appointment despite five tries. :sad: One of my two daughters received an appointment for Monday, February 17th, but was not offered B or K. She was very open as to size (30/35 B or 32/35 K) and open as to colors (black, grey or pop with pink or red - any tones). My other daughter did not receive an appointment either. I will say that I while at FSH we saw several Constance size boxes going to private rooms with customers, and saw a couple of security guards accompanying courtiers taking B size boxes to the Sofitel, so those bags were definitely offered and purchased. The FSH hostess was unable to squeeze me in for an appointment even when I told her I'd been turned down so many times.

The leather department SA whom I spoke with at George V told me they had Evelyne's if I were interested but no B or K due to fashion week, but who knows? Per TPF, others had good luck the same week that I was in Paris.

So, safe to say as some others have done, it is very tough to get an appointment through the system. While I am disappointed at least I have a lovely SS and SM at my home boutique where I hope to get my next K soon. I think that purchasing though the home boutique for many people may be the best and least stressful option. And regardless, the three of us had a wonderful time! We LOVE :heart::heart:our trips to Paris, because as you know: Paris is always a good idea! :smile:

Yes, I agree with you @Nerja, it is still hard to get an appointment. In addition, having an appointment doesn't guarantee you that you will take home the HG. Based on my experience it is truly based on luck.
