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.

Thank you :smile:
I went straight to what I was looking for.
I probably start saying that I was looking for a compact wallet in Kelly or Constance style.
The SA how assist me was a Brazilian men extremely nice ( big mistake of not asking him his card). He told me let’s start with the bag that you are looking for.
I gave him my option, want it a small bag Kelly 25- mini Kelly- Constance 18. My dream color was very criquet but he told me we don’t have, we have less stock then FSH. Everyone is asking for small bags. Start to tell him colors palettes that I would be interested.

He came back with the Constance didn’t try to make me buy other items. I still bought the Kelly compact wallet and I am very happy about it. Bleu orage wasn’t on my list never saw it before but the more I see it the more I love it.

Must say that the hostess you « check » the appointment was very friendly too . I was able to get an appointment, the other woman how made a scene too.

The stock at Sèvres is lower but the atmosphere in general very different, even the vibe of the boutique. It is hard to describe but it was peaceful, a good energy.

For peoples coming from far away the boutique won’t be the best if you are looking for very demand items, but if you are willing to build a relationship it’s seems better then FSH. I need to get his email and probably asking him if it is possible to do some kind of wishlist.. It will be for sure faster then my local boutique haha

Thinking of it know the guy at FSH treat my like ****. Okay my main boutique is Brussels but I have purchase history at FSH.I am waiting for a special order, the Constance is my fourth Hermès bags. Saying maybe trying to put you on the waiting list as you boutique, how say that ?! He know why we got at the boutique because you have chance to leave with a bag that you want without waiting months.

When you look influencer like Leonie how got a mini Kelly shipped to Germany and let’s be honest except her bags don’t see much Hermès.. Good for her but the fact that they are starting to give privilege to influencer not sure. We are not talking about big celebrities.

Thank you for sharing with us your experience! I’m so sorry to hear that FSH treated you that way. :(

I will be traveling to Paris in September with my husband. I'm a little confused by the new system. Can you only secure an appointment using the lottery system for all 3 Paris boutiques now or is there still a way to wait in line or make an appointment in person at the Sevres or Geroge V locations?

That's amazing!! I love matte alligator even more than the shiny ones!
Do you mind if I ask how much it was? I know the prices increase every year but a rough estimate would be helpful

The offer was in November. The store had more exotics in stock at the time. I don't remember the amount and wasn't prepared to spend so much thus I turned down the offer. :(

Good luck in getting your dream bag.

Happy to share that I came home with a cutie today from FSH.

Not exactly was I was looking for but still happy to add her into my collection.

Overall I had good experience at FSH when it comes to the actual appointments. Always got offered something close to my list and the SAs are friendly. Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know if I have to be quick and apply for an appointment at 10:30 am sharp? Or can I apply any time between 10:30am and 7pm? Just watched a YouTube video and she said that you have to be very quick to secure an appointment, which I’ve never heard of before. So excited for my paris trip in July!!

You can apply any time between the sign up times. Please note that they are closed on Sunday. So appointment requests for Monday needs to be on Saturday.

My experience (pre-COVID) was that an appointment decision isn’t given to you until 6 or 7 pm that evening for the following day.

Have fun in Paris and wishing you the best of luck!! :)

I actually had two appointments prior to this one and got offered, but didn’t take anything (after five tries, and back to back).

Then couldn’t secure anything for two weeks before getting this appointment. It seems that how many appointments you get within a month also matters (they can see it on your profile).

May I ask what bags you were offered in the other two appointments? Were they also B/K/C's? :)

I'm going to Paris for a whole month in Sept so hopefully I will be able to get a few appointments LOL
