The Constance in the size 18 isn’t 4800€. I bought a 18 in epsom beginning of June 5800€ depending on the leather a different of a fews hundred € but not 1000€. Xx

That’s what I thought so too. The husband might have mistaken with the price. Maybe it was constance to go. It is the only constance in that price range.

Hi, do you know if I will need to apply for a French Health Pass now if I'm entering France from the US in early September? All websites I've checked only says that US travelers should apply for it if they're traveling to France between now and August 30th, but there's no info on what to do if we're traveling after August 30th.

I have a vaccination card so is that enough to enter Hermes?

France government are loosing they mind with the restrictions (you need a pass to enter super market in mall as an exemple) but no need for the boutiques, departments stores yes.

The appointment is for the person who registered for that appointment. So even if you were offered two b or k, your sister likely won’t be able to buy the other. Usually the SA only brings one b or k out at a time. If you reject, they look for another one for you but the previous offered one won’t be available anymore (this is for FSH appt).

Thank you for your reply, I though this would be the case!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to cancel or change an appointment? I was lucky enough to get an appointment for tomorrow. My flight was scheduled to arrive in the morning but there’s been a reschedule and I won’t arrive until well after the appointment time. I highly doubt they’d allow me to reschedule for Monday (as they’re closed Sunday) but I’d rather just cancel altogether so they don’t think I stood them up, potentially ruining any further chances of future appointment. Aagghh I’m ready to cry

Yes this happened to me before. I just called the FSH store and told them that I won't be able to make it, and they were very nice on the phone. I didn't end up getting another FSH appt that trip though even though I applied afterwards - also because that time I ended up getting a bag at Sevres shortly after so I didn't need the FSH appointment anyways. I was able to get a FSH appointment a year later, so having cancelled in the past doesn't reflect poorly on your or your chances in general - but you probably just have to keep trying to get another appointment.

If i am not mistaken they can still accommodate you. You can show your original appointment and your original ticket/flight/schedule and explain that your sched was moved. I once did it but the scenario was I had a 5pm appointment and 9pm flight so I had to ask to move my schedule a little earlier.

Hi everyone, newbie here but just wanted to share my shopping experience in Paris (Aug 18, noon) After several failed attempts with the online appointment system, I decided to give up on the thought of purchasing a bag. So on the last day of my 5 day trip, which was a Thursday, I went to the George V store to buy a belt and sandals for my brother and sister-in-law. The wonderful Luca( sorry, probably spelled incorrectly) was my SA for that day. Before paying for the items, we chatted for a bit and I told her how many times I failed with the appointment system and she said indeed, it’s a more complicated process now. She was well aware that I didn’t have any purchase history but she was so nice to ask, probably the manager, if there was any appointment cancellation. The first time she called, she was told that there was none. She felt very sorry but I told her I completely understand and thanked her for asking. Then, after a few minutes, I’m not sure what made her do it but she called the manager again and low and behold, she told me that there was suddenly an availability. Omg you don’t know how shocked and excited I was. She then asked me to go to another room and discussed my bag preferences. I told her obviously that I wanted a B or K or C in a neutral color. Right off the bat, she told me it will be difficult to get a B25 and that didn’t surprise me. I told her I would like a Constance 18 or Kelly 28 if available. After 10 nerve wracking minutes, she came back with a box and a smile and omg I knew she had something special in hand. She offered me a Constance 18 in Noir Veau Monsieur with a special mirror buckle (photo attached) that I haven’t seen anywhere or anyone, ever. Could it be a new edition style? I didn’t even ask since I was in cloud nine. I told her how happy I was with my first Hermes bag and thanked her over and over. Needless to say, I made the purchase. Luca said I was very nice that’s why she offered me a bag but idk what I did to deserve it, I guess it was my lucky day! It was the best end to my fabulous trip to Paris.

Its absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!

Apply now, disregard the date requirement, the sooner you receive the pass the better your life is while traveling in France. They’re ARE V STRICT in Paris. As I just landed in Paris today Saturday, already had to flash my pass a few times.

I wasn't lucky enough to get an appointment unfortunately. We tried with 2 passports for 2 days but no appointment unfortunately. I went to George V and FSH to see if they had any cancellations but no

Hello lovely PF- hoping someone can help.

I had the opportunity to have 2 SAs in Paris - Faubourg and Sevres. The FSH SA offered me 2 lovely bags but I didn’t hit it off with her completely … I also wanted to place a special order for jewelry shoes and she didn’t offer a quote … immediately after my purchase at FSH - I saw lovely RTW and jewelry at Sevre and the SA gave me her number for next visit. Both SAs offered a leather appointment without the website.

my predicament is should I stay FSH (SA was ok but the selection is crazy) or go with Sevre ( friendlier SA and I think willing to help me get the bags I’m looking for but lower inventory)

Any advice is appreciated.. TIA!

Personally my SA is at one of the other stores and we have a lovely time together. The stock may be less but is a much more pleasant experience overall. Can always get leather appointments through the system for FSH, but I would say stay with a SA you get along with.
But then again you can stay in contact with both, no need to just stay with one store in Paris, until you have settled on one particular SA.

Thankyou @luvHermes2 so much. Great advice and I had the feeling of staying who I got along with more but I’ll try both appointments next time and see what comes up.
