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.

Hi!

I apologise if this this off topic (mods please feel free to remove). I've not been to Paris so am not sure, is it easier to find exceptional scarves in Paris and will they ship it out?

We wanted to go this year.. but similar to most.. that looks less and less likely now .

Yes they will have exceptional pieces, but if you do not have connection to a SA they will not post items. Or even if you do, they only have a very limited list of items that they can post.

My SAs across the world know what bags I purchase and where, sometimes I mention it, other times I just carry the bags to the store. This includes SAs in FSH and other stores in Europe and Asia. They cannot see my purchases in their systems. They follow me on IG (and I them) and it helps them narrow down what I already have to streamline their offers. So far I have no problems requesting for specifics specs and I have always been perhaps too honest and have no inclination to use my memory space to keep track of who I told what to. I try to request from my local store first and then FSH but buy whatever I like when I see it. They seem to be very amused that I carry my exotics on the Tube/ bus when I take it, and wear all my H mixed with Chanel/ UNIQLO/ Cos/ Gap RTW. I think being comfortable with who I am is the most relaxing thing.

I am hoping to be in Paris shortly and will visit Hermes. (not for bags) but looking to find something special, for my mums birthday. She is really keen to travel, but she is in the vulnerable age group, it seems unlikely. Will report back if I see anything really interesting. Areyou traveling this summer?

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't have an SA there yet.. it's absolutely on my list of to dos!

I can't help but cheekily wonder whether in these days of remote work, school, and pretty much everything, will they start a remote relationship but my guess is not since Hermes is very much about the personal touch.

I´ve got a questions to all of you who are at the moment or in the last month were in Paris.
How many attempts (online system) did you need to get an appointment at FSH?

Still trying... I have been rejected by FSH on-line 3x last week and again last night so 4x total and will probably get rejection #5 tonight. I flew into Paris last night and will stay another day or two to keep trying on-line and then will have to throw in the towel.

I met with 2 SAs at the 2 Sèvres stores this morning and was rejected for a B at both. One SA did show me a beautiful Jypserie in noir, but it’s not what I was looking for. I did buy an Evie TPM in noir which I have been wanting for a while so not a total loss.

Wow! FSH? Did you buy other merchandise before being offered a bag?

I went to both Sevres stores in the morning. At the first one (the small pop-up one), I bought the Evelyne TPM.

Then I went to FSH and kept checking in to see if there were any cancellations. They were very sweet and finally gave me an appointment. Prior to today, I had 4 rejections on the FSH on-line website. Honestly, I just tried to be as polite as possible and kept saying, thank you, I will check back later.

Congrats! So nice to hear that your patience and politeness were rewarded. :smile: Love them both, but I'm especially loving the Bamboo B. Hoping to get one in those specs myself one day! :love:

Hope the rest of your visit to Paris was just as lovely!
