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.

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

A successful round trip to Paris! (Still in self quarantine at home but definitely worth it!)
Getting an appointment at FSH was still difficult as usual! even harder than the last time I was there early 2019. Applied 3 days in a row x 2 passports and got rejected for all! Managed to get a slot by walk in and this beauty came home with me.
B25 Etoupe PHW in togo
My dream bag was always Noir with PHW, the SA showed me both but somehow Etoupe looked much better on me, could be because of what I wore that day. Hope I won’t ever regret it although I’m still aiming for a black B, maybe in size 30 instead.

I agree with Steviej, it seems it is still hard to an appointment at FSH. I was within driving distance of FSH and tried 6 times with 2 passports, total 12 times, and got no appointment.

Is the appointment system totally random? Because when it is then there is the possibility of never getting an appointment.

Congrats! Could you share a little bit more about your experience? Was it at the FSH store? I’m traveling to Paris next month from the UK as well so it would be lovely if you could share.

Hi everyone, do you know if my sister can buy a bag under my profile for me when I am not presented (she already used up her quota). I have the relationship with the SA already, but want to ask here before checking with them.

If you get an appointment on your sisters name she can buy it for you, if you get an appointment on your own name she can take your passport and buy it for you. They will not check if you match the photo in the passport... but if you have your own specific sa and dont have an appointment i wouldnt know..
