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/

Detaxing (to US from Europe) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/best-way-to-detax-after-h-in-europe.178302/

or non-US destinations: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/does-h-store-paris-wants-to-ship.605014/page-3

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.

I was there in August and they seemed to have a very good selection of bags, primarily Evelynes, but also many accessories, SLGs. My problem was that they don’t open until after 10am , basically the same time my flight began boarding. I was able to get one bag but didn’t have time to fully browse and consider thr selection.

I was there on September 8th and they had just received a shipment of what seemed like smaller items (twillies and jewelry perhaps?) and they had some decent selection of non-quota bags, no rodeos or pegase and I didn't ask about any quota bags. Hope this helps.

Thank you! I read older posts in this thread that said no quota bags so I'm not expecting any. I'm hoping they may have a mini Lindy. I've found conflicting info online about the store hours... Hopefully it works out.

Just for the records/statistics: tried to get an appointment for myself and my partner for 3 consecutive days, without any store preference and always got rejections.

While the email was said to arrive between 8 to 8.30PM our emails arrived very late, ranging between 8.50 to even 10.13PM. Feels to me like some employee needs to send out emails manually :lol: or sitting there, looking at the names, passport numbers and randomly saying "you don't get an appointment, you neither, you... hmm let's give you one..."

Does anyone have any information on what the appointment system looks for in setting appointments? One person mentioned something about looking out for resellers but I’m curious if they take current purchases in store into consideration. Somehow I feel like I read that some people who purchased some items later did receive an appointment.

Don't feel bad. It takes me 7-9 tries, if at all! If I'm lucky 5-6. People who get it after 1-3 tries - I don't know her :wtf:

So true, not to mention even if you get an appointment, the chances of getting offered a B/K/C is so low. I’ve went to two appointments so far and one walk-in in Lyon and I’ve only been offered two Roulis and a Picotin. We need to normalize these kind of scenarios bc it seems like most experiences shared on this forum thus far are the successful ones chock full of Birkin and Kelly offers.

Then let me share I was also unsuccessful 2-3 times in 2018 and 2019 :lol: I went to FSH today just to look around the store. Many Bs and Ks on display (eg K35 Etain RGHW, some purple and also olive green bags). Even saw a Volynka Mini K.

I did ask an SA about cancellations, also because my birthday is soon. But no chance, for today they had more than 9,300 applications. I'm sure they will get 10K soon and imagine what if there were no travel restrictions... I'm not disappointed as I never expected to get an appointment. I hoped, but I didn't expect ;)

That's a great mindset to have, and definitely one I've adopted since being met with reality upon coming to Paris lol. Before ever actually trying my luck, I was naively optimistic and daydreamed about being offered a K at H. The last time I came to Paris was ~10 years ago when I was a tween/teen(?) with my mom, and back then she didn't need to ask for leather appointments to request for bags (although she was never interested in B/K/C so that might've played a role) and I remembered she would always get exactly what she asks for. My birthday is actually tomorrow and I don't think I'll get an appt either :/ I can always hope but I've learned it's better to have not low expectations, but zero expectations

Hope this is not too off-topic but there have been some qs about the EU health certificate and I thought it might be helpful to have details in one place for H hunters in Paris. You can apply as soon as you have your travel reservation, application is here . DH has received his although we are not there for another 6 weeks. I'm still waiting :smile:
You can also download the TousAntiCovid app in advance. iPhone and Android links.

Then you can focus on appointments and bags! And croissants!

I've chalked it up to being completely random whether or not you get a Health Pass.

I applied weeks ago, as did the rest of my family. One family member received their code within 20 mins and the rest, nothing at all. I leave tomorrow so I assume it will not be happening in time for the trip, for me.

Will make sure to report back on any H successes!

Now that I think about it I think the (Etain?) K35 was yellow gold HW, there was a B30 in the same colour and that one looked RGHW. Sorry for the mix up. I'm not aware of only Bs having RGHW, can a more knowledgeable member chime in please?
