Hi PFPers,
I just went to my appointment today and had a few things to share. First, I thought I was extremely lucky in getting an appointment on my third try. However, this only happens after I bought a ring from the store. Secondly, on the day of the appointment, I tried to dress up, saw many people getting offered b/k, told my SA what I want, waited for a good 30 minutes, thought I will be getting my dream bag, but my SA told me that there's no b/k in stock due to the strike. She did manage to get to a kelly danse in rose azalee, which is cute, but is not what I want, so I turned it down. I thought I phrased it politely but the SA did not even walk me down or anything after. I feel a bit disappointed and discouraged especially knowing that I will not be getting an appointment anytime soon. I did not get an appointment after 7:30. Also, I think that SAs always have reason to tell you that they have no stock, but at the same time, I saw so many people with their B/k.

Wow you turned down a Kelly Danse?! I didn't even know they make them any more. I did too before I got into Hermes - walked into the H store with DH and tried it on. It was in blue jean and at the time, I thought that paying 1000s for a bag was outrageous! Hindsight being 20/20!!! Did you take any pics or know how much it is now?

Yesterday was something different...
I think I almost lost my mind ‍♀️
Hubby got an appointment yesterday and voila! I got offered with b30 rose extreme epsom ghw.. still over the moon.. I love the bold pink in it and ghw makes it more special. I took it for a spin yday and noticed that on every picture I have, it is the first thing noticed. Very overpowering during winter .. Now all I should do is take care of it during the rest of the trip.. here she is with me singing “im a barbie girl, in a barbie world in my mind”..

In hindsight, it would have been interesting to ask the SA if she/he gave the B/K's to prior customers so that the store was out of stock by the time you came. (I wouldn't have thought to ask this if I was in the moment like you were. The bad news would have stunned me into a silent surprise). I would be annoyed too that the whole B/K acquisition is wrapped in such mystery. Probably if you said what I thought the SA could have not answered -- a continuation of the whole mystery schtick. Has the H hierarchy ever heard of the supposed corporate value of "transparency"? Guess not. Which can drive someone crazy in a manner of speaking.

It's a gorgeous bag especially b/c of the color. (Off topic: Are there going to be any koalas left in Australia after all these brush fires? They are so cute).

Some good news ladies! Have been lining up in the mornings at George V and I bought a Bolide 27 in Etoupe Epsom and today DH got an appointment at FSH and we got a Kelly Sellier 28 in Epsom Veau. Over the moon! Persistence pays off, even when you’re over it (like I was).

I think we like it or not, is part of the game. It makes it more magical when you are lucky.
