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.

Hello ladies! i had success purchasing a B last time i was in paris, but ever since then they have implemented a new system. My question is - if you do get an appn for the leather dept, does it automatically mean they would sell you something or you still need to play the "purchase game" .... the reason i ask is because from my understanding you meet the SA in the leather dept ... but if i want to purchase other things they are technically in other departments correct? so what is the best way of going about this? I am dying dying dying for a B30 in tan or K32 in rouge or a kelly pochette in any color.

You can search through this thread to find many who haven't been offered any bags during their appointments. It seems pretty random and has a lot to do with a genuine connection with the SA. I hope you get what you're looking for!!

Yes. I’m so in love. So is my boyfriend, Lolol. I asked for it specifically and expressed my love for it. I got extremely lucky.

Wow nice! And, btw, did you score any other bags at Sevres previously?

Is Sevres your main shop for your purchase history ? I asked because I thought your profile photo was taken before this trip? Did you just que before it opens or did you ask for a bag after your other purchases there?

how about fsh, would you mind share a bit more the fsh appointment, or did you get an appointment there yet?

I have purchased at Sevres before. Last year I was lucky enough to score a K32 Clemence in Craie. Before that, I had no shopping history there. I've tried multiple times to get to FHS, but I've been denied an appt in total over 8 times. For Sevres, I was in que both last time and this time, arriving approx. 30 minutes before. There was about 10-15 people ahead of us when we got there today, many of those people were told nothing was available. I honestly think being genuine, connecting with the SA, and expressing love for Hermes as well as being knowledgeable in leathers and colors helped me both times. I noticed a lot of the other people were very direct and went straight to asking for a K/B, some of them treating the SAs like order takers. My boyfriend and I talked to the SA and got to know one another before getting to that point. But honestly, it's honestly a lucky of the draw. It could have been much different if I had another SA. I might not get offered one next time, hopefully I do though :P. I built a good relationship with the SA, so hopefully it'll be a lot easier moving forward for me.

Wasn’t counting on getting any bags in Paris given the strike but I got lucky and met a great SA at FSH :heart: Meet my new Birkin 30 Sellier in Deep Blue. The new Veau Madame leather is structured like Epson but is less pronounced grain and is softer to touch :love:

Wow congrats!! Do you mind sharing what is the price in euros for the sellier version ? With the regular one being €7550, interested in knowing if the sellier (like kelly) version has a higher price

Try Sevres, go 30 min to an hour before to wait in Que.
