Hi ladies! Am going to Paris for 2 days and I’m already rejected for tomorrow. Feel like giving up! Last trip I came got rejected for 6 days in a row, met a rude SA at George V. Was really heartbroken and defeated by the whole experience. And I’m not even looking for just the BKC, was rejected for all other bags as well. Not sure what I did wrong as I have a purchase history of all sorts of items the past few years.

should I try again for the appointment system for my last day? Should I even bother queuing at the other boutiques?

If you have time I think you should give it another try. Don't go to FSH just go to other 2 stores if I were you

Fingers and toes crossed. Wish you loads of luck.

I would try again, it's just a few clicks on your phone and if you get rejected, you only wasted time while trying.
Amazing how we all have different experiences at each Hermes boutiques. Hermes George V service has been the most outstanding for me every time I have gone while FSH after service has been absolutely horrible. (I don't want to talk about it)

I totally understand your feelings about the bad treatment but since it was just an SA, perhaps that person is no longer there so I would not rule out the store. It's worth a try, we don't go to Paris every weekend :smile:

As I understand there will be two temporary stores while sevres is under refurbishment - one right next door and one at boulevard saint Germain (the old Burberry store). I think leather goods and home goods remain at the store next to Sevres while silk and RTW are going to be at the other one.

Please correct me/ chime in if I remember wrong.

To update all the TPFers, H fairies didn’t come to my way again during this trip at FSH. According to the SA that I was assigned, no BKC was available in the store due to after Xmas. They are probably holding up all the inventory for January. However, I did find something really cute, a lime color Clic-H 21 bag in PHW.

I have the Clic-H 21 in gold and I LOVE IT.. am sure you love your too, such a practical bag :heart:

I know that Sevres is due to close for renovations this January and FSH will host petit h for the duration which is expected to be about 9 months. I do not shop at Sevres so someone who does can ask their SA for details and the location of the temporary store nearby.

I was told by my leather goods SA at Sevres that Sevres will stay open for leather bags. Other products will be moved to the other 2 temporary stores but not sure which products. I’ll be visiting at the end of this month so I’ll update this post then.

Hi ladies,

I didn’t manage to score any BKC but I did get some other items that I’m very happy with! However I am sharing this because I don’t know who else to turn to.

*Long rant alert*

Yesterday I had some purchase items delivered to the hotel and I didn’t open up the white paper bag as I wanted to pack everything today (only 1 night left I figured). There were also other shopping bags that was sent to the room hence we figured that since we were going to do some shopping the next day(3rd Jan), we will just unpack everything before organising our luggage back home (which is tonight, 3rd Jan)

However, when I opened up the fully stapled white bag I realised there is only 4 orange boxes instead of 5 orange boxes. Check the receipt thinking that they missed out on the item but alas! The item is on the receipt! I checked the white paper bag, I checked the orange paper bag that is inside the white bag, but no matter what I do, there is only 4 orange boxes. I opened up all the boxes thinking maybe it’s hiding inside one of the box but nothing. One item is missing from the shopping bag.

Have sent them an urgent email and will be calling them tomorrow morning as the phone lines will only open 1 hour before my flight ! I’m so upset at myself for not checking the paper bag yesterday when it arrived but I just had so many other shopping bags and I was so certain that they wouldn’t mess up my items. The white paper bag was so nicely secured and fully stapled! Was commenting to the hubby that among all the shopping bags sent to the room only Hermes is the nicest and most secured! Unbelievable that this is happening.... I don’t know how else they can rectify this or how I can prove my innocence!

Very upset and disturbed that this is happening considering how the SA who was serving me was super sweet, despite not scoring any BKC I was still really happy with the whole shopping experience.

Can’t see how things can turnaround if they can’t find the missing item in their store. I will just have to tell myself that I’m losing that few hundred euros :(

i am very sorry to hear your experience. i have heard stories of hotel staff "missing" shopping items delivered from H or other high branded stores. I know you are anticipated to speak to H but meanwhile I will speak to hotel staff who received my shopping items; if there are more than 1 staff I will ask hotel manager to speak to all of them. Good luck and I am sorry to hear your experience again.
