Love this thread and thought I should share my story. In August for Hubby and I’s 11 year wedding anniversary (and 20 years together) we took our first trip together to London and Paris (5 days in each city). I’ve always wanted to go to Paris so was a long awaited trip! Tried my luck with the online system and finally got lucky on my 3rd attempt for an appointment at the FSH store for approximately 5 pm on a Wednesday. (Also tried getting an appointment for hubby 4x with no luck). The day Of my appointment I checked in with hostess and was provided with a SA who stepped to the side and asked me a few direct questions about what I was looking for. I told her a B25 or B30 in gold hardware, either black or a pop of colour. And she asked if she didn’t have these, if I’d want anything else. I asked her for an 18cm Constance. She then asked my son, husband and I if we wanted to have anything to drink. She brought us some sparkling water and left. I had very little hope of getting anything I wanted because she didn’t take me upstairs or give me an opportunity to make any sort of small talk with her. She came back 20 minutes later with a couple of boxes and asked us to follow her to the back of the store. She opened up a box and pulled out a B25 Apricot with gold hardware. I couldn’t believe it! Needless to say it only took a minute for me to say yes! So here she is, my holy grail.

No success story but thought to share. Tried 3times. Rejected all times. Still had a wonderful time in Paris. Store at FSH was soooo crowded- like a market tbh. Met a super lovely SA but she told me she can’t help me even though she wants to. Went airport Hermes to ask. She told me they never have Kellys at airport, occasionally Constance n no Constances today. Oh wells. No bag is better than 40mins security control suspension at the airport. What an experience in Paris. Hope others have better luck than me. ❤️❤️❤️

PARIS EXPERIENCE

FSH
There for approximately 8 days late July/early August
Registered every single day for FSH, got an evening appointment (approx 4:30PM) on 4th day. Appointment shifted around on my phone to 4:10PM and I showed up. Met my SA, I was using my kelly and she commented on it. We discussed what I was after and I was quite specific about size and style (small K preferred no bigger than K28). She came back with other bags including 24/24 but not for me. I walked away with nothing. I wanted to buy other goods but I was in a rush that day so didn't have time to buy other things from that particular SA. Went back when I had time and bought a couple things from FSH.

SEVRES
Lined up on my second last day, didn't spend anything at that particular store. Was offered a mini C (very very tempting) but turned it down because really wanted to get a Kelly...

GEORGE V
Stayed near George V and went there to buy other goods almost every day (accumulating approx $4000 euro worth of goods). Didn't have time to line up in the AM to get a bag appointment until later in the trip. Lined up on third last day, but no bags available. On my last day before my evening flight, I lined up again and saw the SA I had been building rapport with, was offered a K (not in preferred size) which I took. SA was surprised I didn't get offered anything I wanted at FSH store.

Ooh, I’m glad that you were offered a K even if the size wasn’t your first preference. Mind sharing with us the specs?

First time posting here
After 6 attempts, got my appointment today in the morning, asked for mini bags for mom who is already 74 but still enjoy big good health, SA asked for specific color and I said light blue which is my mom favourite color or some earth tones. She went away for like 20 min, I was looking around and saw people being offered 24/24, picotin 22 and some small bags.
Then she came back with a small box and led me to upper floor. There we walked around furniture apartment which I did spend some money the day before as I bought a cushion for my chihuahua. We chatted happily and then she put out this beauty, I was so shocked that anemone is re issued again and she said there is no mini kelly but k25 for my mom and I definitely should use it too. I m over the moon.

The anemone is not the only bag I being offered this time, she said quota is only for b/k/c and I can take other bags too, then she offered me a bolide 27 which caught my breath, she kept asking me what bag I wanna get as opposite to my own store who has only asked u to meet the quota to buy bag, I felt so happy for that.
