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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

Such a lovely story. i feel like h SA are trained to be able to see and read people that they want as their vip customers. i also noticed that these dreamy SO stories dont happen in fsh but in the two other stores more. perhaps the mothership has fulfill too many SO quotas already :-s

Oh no for me, my relationship is only with FSH. My SOs are mostly from FSH and average 6 -9 months wait, so it was possible. I only visit GV bec I know someone involved in the recent renovations and Sevres for petit h. I have never lived in Paris :heart:

oh ok that so good to know cos fsh is my regular store although im not french i visit paris way too often. i got a few quota bags from my SA and a few other non leather goods here and there (by no means a vip) but never been offered an SO. im also too shy to ask lol dont want her to feel like im not a vip yet i shouldnt be asking for such a privileged offer. meanwhile inside i would just die for one :biggrin::biggrin:

You don’t have to ask but it doesn’t hurt to give a hint. :) Maybe “ohhh, a SO bad would be a dream comes true. Especially with my birthday coming up.” That’s how I would do it. Go for it :)

Succes story!

So after reading all of your wonderful stories here’s mine. I finally pulled the trigger to go to Paris after waiting for 3/4 months for an offer from my home store (Amsterdam) Unfortunately no succes, but understandable because only 4 months went by. I started applying for appointments and got one on my second try. I called and pleaded with my dad to come with me and off we went at 22h in the evening to Paris. I booked a hotel for the evening so we could fetch some sleep and prepare. The next day i had my appointment and was helped by a lovely lady called Stéphanie. She asked me what i liked and I named my specs (Kelly 28, reds or greys, GHW, sellier and epsom). She told me she would try very hard to find me what i wanted but there is limited supply. After 20 minutes she came back with a mini box and a larger box. She asked me to follow her to a closed room to show me what she found. She opened the box and unboxed my absolute dream bag. A Kelly Sellier 28 Rouge Casaque with Gold Hardware. This is my absolute dream bag and i LOVE it! She also brought out a Mini Evelyne in Etoupe which apparently is hard to come by? I wouldnt know since the bag isnt my taste. I declined.

Below a picture of my bag

Congrats! The red looks great on you! And very jealous that you’re able to go to Paris easily, I cannot wait for the US to be admitted in the EU again

Me too! :yahoo:
I was in Paris in July. I tried to get an appointment with 5 different passports (2 days = 10 chances) -> NO

BUT walked-in ask for a bag and came home with a B25 and an Evelyne 16 TPM
AND reject a K28 & B35 (not my color/leather) in the other 2 stores.

However, in 2019 I didn't manage to get an appointment either and came up (as walk-in) with a K28.

Congrats! That's awesome. :smile: Did you just walk over on your last day and ask if they had any cancellations? What were the specs of the B25?
