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.

What size are you looking at? FSH has the largest inventory but you need an appointment online. Otherwise you can try either Serves or George V. The mini evelyne is harder to come by I think. Good luck :flowers:

Thanks for your response. I am looking for a PM in a neutral color. I know that the other stores besides FSH you just have to line up outside before opening. hopefully I can get an appointment but If I get denied I will line up at the other stores and try to get one.

Pretty sure you can easily purchase an Evie PM at the CDG airport. No lines, no fuss. At least that was my experience a few years ago.

Has anyone had any chance getting an appointment at the Sevres location without queueing before the opening?
I have a last minute trip to Paris next week and do not have the capacity to queue before the opening so wanted to see realistically what were my chances?

Sorry for my late report from my last week Paris trip.
Since I have been following this thread for a long time, I knew my only chance getting a bag is through online appointment system at FSH ( I was with my mom this time, so lining up in other stores was not for us)
I started to try 2 nights before arrival, and failed for 5 tries.
But my mom was looking for shoes so we went to FSH anyway and saw the SA we met years ago offering my first birkin in shoes department. Although she did not remember us, she told us we could still try asking for appointment downstairs.
And we granted an appointment right away!
The SA who greeted us was so nice, and I showed her my list.
The list combined the bag styles and colors that I owned already, and the style we were looking for.
She just took a photo of the list I showed her and we chat a little bit.
She mentioned that they have over 1,000 appointments applied online and they can only granted about 100.
After around 20 minutes she came back with 2 boxes and ask us following her to a dressing room (which I thought was a good sign!)
She presented my mom's first choice - Picotin 22 touch in bleu nuit!

And the other box was my first choice kelly 28 sellier in epsom etain GHW!

I screamed and was so so happy! It was both the perfect bags for both of us!
Then she told us the petit H started on Saturday so we went to the store again.
I bought this cute case, inside is silk with cute design!

Before we leave Paris, we decided to visit FSH last time and hope the SA can see us again.
And we were so lucky that she was available in the afternoon and willing to help us.
My mom was looking for a smaller lindy also a C24.
She came back with two amazing bags and the orange sac charm!

Lindy 26 with mat croc handle/GHW in black, in a leather called volupto.
C24 in anemone in evercolor/GHW in evercolor.
We were so happy and the whole trip was like a dream to us.
I am very sorry for the poor photo taken, since I am still traveling. But I just want to share my joy to everyone here.
I wish everyone can get their dream bag and do not give up trying.:angel:

Can I ask how much is the Lindy

Are you also going to try for FSH? Never know, might get lucky

Can't speak for Sevres, but some people showed up right at opening time for George V and got an appointment for that day, I think it was a couple hours later but not sure. This was also a Monday in the middle of January though..good luck!

Petit h is currently moved to FSH I think. And I don’t think you need appointment to buy them if I’m not mistaken.

Dang. I was gonna do a little petit H shopping at sevres and ask for a bag, but now it looks like that’s not an option. Does Sevres generally want a purchase history?

I’ve been declined for 2 days at FSH now. 2 more days in Paris to go. Will try to stop by FSH and ask for appt in person tomorrow. Very little tourist in Paris right now. Any advice on asking FSH for appt in the morning or afternoon?

I'm hoping to find a neutral color Evelyne TPM next month when I go to Europe. Do all Hermes stores require an appointment in Europe for this item, or is this specific to the Paris stores? I'll be in Paris, Milan, Rome, and Amsterdam. Any insight you can give would be much appreciated! TIA!

I've just returned from Paris and everyone has been so helpful I wanted to share my experience as well. My friend and I arrived on Monday night and immediately registered for the waiting list at FSH. After 5 days of rejections (we registered 1030 a.m sharp each day), we both got accepted on the fifth day (They were closed on Sunday so our appointment was the next Monday). I had actually gone to the Avenue George V Hermes and gotten a pair of sneakers the Friday before (since my feet were dying from walking in heels) but my friend had obtained the earlier appointment. I guess this is further proof that the process is completely random and purchase history doesn't increase chances of scoring an appt. We attended the earlier appointment together and the SA was pretty straightforward in asking us what we wanted. She explained that they hadn't gotten a shipment in since Saturday morning so it was unlikely my friend could get what she wanted, nevertheless, in the end she was offered a mini constance in rose ete (which she declined and I totally should have picked up, didn't get a chance to look closely) My friend had asked for a K25 in any color GHW. We left to do some shopping nearby.

My appointment was initially at 1130 but after refreshing the page on my cell phone, it was pushed to noon. I arrived at half past anyway and checked in with the leather counter upstairs. A handsome SA asked my what I would like and I basically said: Any B25 or smaller in neutral colors and any Kelly with GHW, with emphasis on a B25. Just moments later he walked back with a big box which made my heart almost stop, though the look on his face seemed a little hesitant. He led us into a closed off area and revealed the most beautiful bag with my favorite colors ever (though definitely not what I had in mind). I'll post my reveal when I get home later tonight :) I'm actually having a bit of buyer's remorse but I'd love to hear what everyone has to say.
