Hi all,

I forgot my SA's name although very much wish to have him again next time I visit FSH. Been trying to find his name in case it was written somewhere on the receipt but couldn't find it. Or did I miss it? Is our SA's name or code written somewhere in our receipt?

No it isn’t. Some SAs at FSH are seasonal so may be one reason why you can’t find him.

Not everyone can email someone at FSH and ask for appointment. It just doesn’t work like that.

So my happy ending had s bit of an annoying twist.

For my background, I love luxury bags, mostly Chanel. I’m not one of those people who turns around bags frequently by buying selling repeat. I love my collection and plan to hold on to them for a lifetime and eventually pass them down in my family. In February of 2017 I was in Paris at the end of a work trip for a weekend. Back then they had the infamous line, but it hadn’t gotten to the absurd levels yet. I waited from around 8:30 and got an appointment and my first ever Hermes B. You can read my extrmely excited post from back then in this thread. It was a magical day and I really couldn’t believe it. I was back in Paris this past August same type of deal, weekend at the end of a work trip in Europe. They had the appointment system and I couldn’t get an appointment.

This week I was here for vacation and tried making appointments for both my husband and I. My husband got an appointment on his third try even though he has never set foot in a Hermes boutique, let alone have purchase history at any one. His appointment was at 10:30, so we went. The SA was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what I wanted. I gave him my preferences and he came back with a vert vertigo B. I thought it was beautiful and took it.

Here’s the annoying part. I get back to our hotel and it says the color is cactus in the receipt. I actually asked the SA if it was the new cactus color and he said no, it’s vertigo. So I spend the whole evening obsessing over what color it is. It’s not that I don’t love it, it’s beautiful, but for that amount of money I want the receipt to be correct. Turns out I get an appointment with my passport on the 5th try, at 6:20. I don’t care that it’s late because I already have a bag. I thought I’d go to inquire about the color. Well the SAs were stumped too! 5 of them were staring at the bag bringing out swatches in cactus and vertigo! It became this thing on the second floor. The consensus was it’s vertigo, so I asked why the receipt said cactus, and no one really could give an answer except maybe some labeling error in the store room.

I guess it’s not a big deal if I love the color but has this happened to anyone else ?

Congrats on your bag.
TBH I don't think Cactus and Vert Vertigo are THAT close. Cactus is brighter and is a clear green, VV has a little more blue and is more toward a jewel tone. Do you want to post your bag in the ID thread? That said, if you love the color, you don't need a receipt for spa.

I have to agree with QF. They are not that similar at all (Paon is much closer to VV than Cactus is). Post a pic!

It is definitely Vertigo, the SA was confident of it, and the swatches clearly showed it. Still don't know what caused the mistake, I guess even though they aren't that close, close enough that someone somewhere made a mistake.

I had a very successful time in Paris this time, thanks to all the TPFers who shared their experience! My first Kelly scored in size 32!!! I will share more details later, I still have another week before heading home. A much better experience than the one I had in September when I failed to get anything at all 3 appointments in FSH.

Congrats - looking forward to story!

Hi everyone!

So I have a quiestion: has anyone NOT RECEIVED the sms verification code while applying for an appointment?
Today is my second try for an appointment but I haven’t received the SMS verification code in order to continue with the application......
on my first try for an appointment I DID Receive a sms verification code in order to proceed with the application which, as expected, was denied an appointment...

If anyone has gone thru this please share! Thanks!
