Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

In Paris for one week and here’s my results so far at the three stores:

1. George V: Nothing (B/K/C/Roulis) from two tries on Friday and following Monday. Both times I went early around 9:30am and was in line within the first 20 - SA at the store mentioned the first 20 do not need appointments.

2. FSH: Went in without appointment first and purchased a CDC ring and some clic H bracelet. Got an appointment on my 4th try for later today - might have to shoot for some non quota bag due to the good fortune at Sevre.

3. Sevre: went early with DH around 9:30 and we were 12th or so in line. During initial discussion with assigned SA who was very delightful and professional, we discussed leather preferences/color choices and I asked for B25/K25 in gold or etoupe with GHW. SA came back with a Novillo B30 in gold with GHW and I took it. Also bought a Fourbi bag insert. The Barenia padding on the Fourbi triggered some further discussion and we asked for SLGs in Barenia - the resourceful SA tracked down a Calvi in barenia with robot print and we grabbed it immediately. The next step was to find some twilly for the B30 but we ended up with something that will not go on the bag.

What a great trip- congrats!. I LOVE the exceptional twilly- it looks great on you. I have been thinking about it, and now you may have sealed the deal for me!.
The bag, the jungle love twilly and the calvi are a perfect trio- wear them well :heart::heart:

Correct, the jungle love twilly would match perfectly with the B30 but the special embroidered Animapolis echarpe twilly will only go on my neck. o:smile:

While looking at the twilliys again ( and totally loving them!) I see the gorgeous beading on the animapolis one, but have a question on the jungle love- is that also the exceptional with the leather on each tip? It looks different than the "regular" one.
Can't keep my eyes off of them :heart::heart::heart: and can't wait to hear how the rest of your trip went.

Yes, the Jungle Love twilly is also the exceptional version with lambskin on the tips.

For my 5:30pm appointment, I showed up around 5:00 and was assigned an SA quickly. Asked for Constance with pop color and preferably barenia leather plus Picotin 22 in neutral color; also asked for Kelly Pochette if it not a quota bag. SA came back with 2002 in gold and a Faco with its strip of barenia on the flap. Saw three other groups being shown various colors of 2002 and all were declined.

DH finally got the approval on his 5th online application and we’ll go for one more try today. Will report back if we score any desired bags with B/K25 being top of the list.

Congrats @Lingdang on your beautiful scores!

I hope I get to be as lucky as you next week.
In Sevres, did you straight away ask for a B/K25 or did you ask for other smaller items first before asking for a bag?

Asked for B/K25 straight away. The smaller items came later. Good luck with your efforts next week - do try George V next week as a nice SA apologized for not having much stock this week and mentioned they should get more next week.
