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.

Thank you for your intel. Was hoping there would be other animal shapes.
US site is slightly more expensive plus I can’t choose the color. I’m debating if I should do a daytrip from London.
Thanks again!

Regarding the availability of Petit H charms, it really depends on whether there is a new shipment coming in on the day you visit Sevres. When I was there in the summer, there was nothing out on display, but when I inquired about the charms, they brought out a big drawer full of various charms from the back. There were a lot of Petit H charms from the Korea event, such as the dragon, tiger, and tori gate. There were some turtles, monkey, bear, and squirrels as well. When I went back again several days after, they had a new shipment on that day and there were plenty of New York City charms (Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, NYC big apple) and a lot of hearts, snowman, and snowflakes. The SA mentioned that they will have more during the holiday season, so if you plan to go, I would recommend you go during the holidays, and hopefully you will have a better selection of charms to choose from.

I asked the SA and they brought out a tray with the same type of charms as the ones on display.

On day 2, lucky enough to get offered Birkin 30 in red!! Follow my insta for reveal in a few days.

Anyone in Paris now? I’m here for a few more days! I haven’t check the other two stores yet. Hoping to get a mini kelly ☺️

Day 1- did not score and online appointment to FSH. missed the time to line up for George V or Sevres but made it to George V by 11am. The male host at first said no more appointments but then said there was another one left and I met with an SA right away- was told no B/K/C and was brought a verso jypsiere in a small size which I was not interested in. Then made my way to both Sevres and FSH and was told all appointments gone. Sevres said since Friday 11/1 was a holiday they granted more appointments than usual. All the stores were busy. FSH was an Hermes handbag lovers dream. Just the items in the display cases alone- nothing like this in the states at all!

Thank you so much for the details. That’s so kind of you
I’d love to get the squirrel & sitting dog. Even if I couldn’t find the charms I just love looking at the store interior. It’s magnificent!
Thanks again!

FSH is really a store with lots of eye candies both on the display as well as the customers. Here are some spy photos from last week.

Speaking of inventory, this week FSH had many black bags on view, some at least some seemed to be gleaming exotics. Inside the front door there was a big display of lime bags and navy bags and navy accessories. I really enjoyed that b/c I wasn't sure whether lime would be prominent in the fall.
More generally, when I was at FSH in March, I think the bags in the cases had more color and style variability.

I am getting used to my new gold kelly, starting to appreciate it more. I think of it as a caramel color.

Here’s my story , went to Paris with TPF member chkpfbeliecer for a shopping trip . we enjoyed every moment going to the 3 stores and also got lucky to get a tour of the FSH store and and its history.

fast forward we both got an appointment and both of us was able to bring home a Birkin

 

[Vhermes212]

Any updated info about when the stores get deliveries? A most recent post said afternoon but the SA at George V said it comes in the morning?

Congrats on this beauty!!! Love the new charm..
Can I know after how many trials did you get the appointment?

Inventory was good last year around that time, given that they are expecting a Christmas rush, but shipments kept on getting delayed due to the gilets jaunes protests. My bf and I were there before Christmas and kept getting offered Constances, although we were after K/B. I got my BF B30 shortly after the new year and assume it was delayed stock from the holiday season because it has a 2018 stamp. Going again this year and hoping for a K/B25!

Fingers crossed!!

My haul with @mcpro as partner in crime last week from FSH ! I’ve seen this background so many times on this thread but never thought it would happen to me one day. So for all those that willing to take up the FSH challenge, go for it!
