Hi is my first time posting here after months of reading this forum.

My friend and I were in paris since last saturday. I bought a garden party and twilly on monday from sevres. Then i got a oran sandal on tuesday form FSH. My friend and i been trying for the appointment since day 1 but no luck until yesterday she get it on the 5th try at 4:25 but got delayed to 5:25pm. Ask for b25 but got shown a lindy 26 black phw, rose sakura jige and some others. We took the jige and a halzan in black ghw. Btw, she has no purchase record in hermes yet she got the appt first between us.

Congrats! Vert cypress is a stunning color :loveeyes:
Thank you for sharing what you heard haha. I was in the Seoul flagship store once and was told firmly that there were no Kellys. However, my bf spoke to another SA and indicated that he was ‘willing to purchase other items (in order to get a Kelly)’. She then checked and asked us what colors and sizes we wanted. There were 3 or 4 colors available for the sellier 25 ... :lol::lol:

Did BF actually state or strongly imply he'd get some H stuff so he could be shown a Kelly? If I can rightly conclude that he was pretty direct, it seems to be exactly what was necessary for the situation.

Apparently this is how the Seoul flagship works. I don't think it applies to Paris, in my own experiences. And now I will go back to topic. :flowers:

I have come back to my home :smile:

Very grateful to bring these beauties back to home in my last 2 trips to Paris. The b and k were bought from FSH, while the 2002 was bought from George V. The 2002 can fullfill my aspiration to Constance in a certain extent. So glad to obtain all these in half a year without a very strong purchasing history :biggrin:.

Thank you for letting me share my happiness.

Pretty direct I would say. He went “Do you have any kellys? I can buy other things (to hit the minimum required).” :giggle:

Am glad it was different in fsh where I basically gave the SA my wishlist and got home with so many goodies:loveeyes: My bf got the City backpack for himself in swift! Overall an unforgettable experience.

A friend and her friend also got rejected 5 times (4 people (including husbands) trying to get appointments for 5 days in a row this week without any luck). They were told in all 3 stores that inventory was especially low as everything had been shipped to Cannes for the film festival which is why less appointments were given out.

When I visited Cannes, their stock was low as well due to the film festival.

And from my standpoint, a pretty unforgettable BF! I am in awe. (And I thought I was direct!). Well, if he got the job done (acquired the K), kudos to him.

Finally got an appointment after 6 attempts only to receive 6.20pm appointment today. I knew i wont be given something good given the time of the appt and oh boy i was right. I was shown garden party and herbag. My SA only served me for less than 10 minutes. I dont know how to deal with this :confused1:

To add on, SA wasnt the nicest ive met. She asked me to give her all my wishlist so she doesnt have to go up and down twice. Not the first time to visit H at Fsh, but definitely the first time hearing this from an SA.

Here is the summary of my experience. I have been visiting Paris almost every year for the past few years.

I could not score an appointment at FSH last year under the new online system, so I decided to take a risk and I made two appointments prior to arriving in Paris. I made a third appointment for my arrival day and I got rejected again. Finally, I scored an appointment on my fifth try.

Prior to my FSH appointment, I went to visit my Sèvres SA and he assisted me with my SLG, rodeo, and jewelry purchases. He also cross-referenced my list of desired bags with their inventory. Unfortunately they didn’t have anything. Even though, I couldn’t score a bag, I was very thankful that I was able to score a croc calvi card case that had an amazing print! I regretted not buying a croc calvi card case last year, so I was determined to buy one on this trip. ☺️

On the day of my FSH appointment, I felt very hopeful for scoring a 10:30am appointment. There were long lines at both doors around 10:15am. After checking in upstairs, my assigned SA led me to a table at the back of the store. Upon sitting down, she asked me directly what I would like. I was a little bit thrown off as I thought we would exchange pleasantries and build rapport. Anyways, I passed her my list of desired bags and she replied that she will return in a few minutes. I panicked for a few seconds as I recall in this chat that some SA’s were gone for 20 to 45 minutes. A few minutes later, she returned with a box. My heart sank, because it seemed like a Picotin MM. She claimed that they didn’t receive any B’s and K’s that day (I guess due to Cannes Film Festival?). When she opened the box, it was a noir Picotin MM touch with phw. She said it was the only Picotin touch they had even though I was hoping for a gold one. Then, she showed me on her phone the store’s inventory of P’s and GP’s. Afterwards, we went downstairs to look at twilly’s, jewelry, rodeo’s, and SLG’s. Unfortunately, they were low in stock or had no stock for all of the items on my list, so I only bought the Picotin touch. While I was at the store for an hourish, I noticed that no one was offered a B/K on both floors.

After lunch, I went back to Sèvres to meet up with my SA. A few minutes later, he directed me to a changing room and showed me my holy grail! I felt like I was in heaven and I almost pinched myself. Apparently, he shared my desired list of bags with the SM the other day and the SM was surprised that they couldn’t offer me a bag from my list (FYI, I’m not a VIP). When their new shipment arrived that morning, my SA and SM pulled aside my HG!!! It was an unbelievable kind gesture and I was incredibly thankful. I hugged my SA a couple of times and I almost burst into tears a few times. LOL. A couple of his colleagues that assisted me the other day recognized me and were very happy for me for scoring my HG. My HG is a noir K28 in epsom sellier with phw and my second desired bag is a noir B30 in togo with rghw. I feel that carrying K’s are more convenient around younger children, but I was willing to get a B because I love rghw.

Without further ado, here’s my HG and Picotin touch.
