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.

Hi, I'm in Paris and have more than 6times rejection, i when in FSH ask for cancelation,they always said no before check, and no even i asked for CTG or KTG, wonder should i try day trip to Lyon, but anyone know about Lyon appointments? Do i just come before the store open and way on line or how is it work? Any tip?Thank a lot

Yet I see others “with the bags I wanted” getting offered them a day before.

Personally I would look at it in the long run, if I were to return to the store next year, these €8000 pair of shoes in my purchase history might help with my next bag? Which in your case, may be €3000 saved from your home store price. For me, my relationship with the flagship progressed slowly but steadily with bag offers coming and accumulated spend is bound to help. It really depends if you plan to continue shopping regularly in Paris. In the meantime enjoy your shoes, they must be stunning.

Check out the thread for Lyon here. Many members have tried this recently with very little success.

Hello it’s been a bit quiet on this thread . Any news on recent visits to the stores?

Presenting to you my B25 Sellier in Black with PHW. I was very fortunate to have been matched with a lovely SA who I instantly connected with. I'm OBSESSED with my new bag and I'm in shock that it's mine. The hilarious part is my husband used to say that he couldn't stand the baby birkin and has always said he doesn't like the sellier style, yet when he saw this his jaw dropped. I also purchased a cashmere scarf and two sets of twillys with the birkin along with a pair of boots from FSH last week.

Wow I love this! Birkin sellier is very attractive

I agree with this. I have a 5+ year history in Paris with numerous items purchased. My first couple of trips I was offered absolutely nothing.

I agree. Things have changed so the way FSH works is different now. When I began I was offered bags from Day 1 but I did then gradually buy other things I loved, so did DH, and our relationship with the store continued until now.

Lyon is very much for local client and not much stock. Better to stick to Paris if you can get an appointment! Or go to Sevre around 2-3pm, they could maybe fit you in.

I agree - at Lyon you need to build a relationship with the SA and perhaps need to visit a couple of times having said that anything is possible with Hermes - you could be the one to break the norm.

Thank you, i went to Sevre today at 4pm, and i got rodeo, but still no KTG or CTG, would try again tomorrow ❤

Stock is really really low in Paris right now. Both DH and I have gotten appointments at FSH and I have purchase history since 2017 and have gotten a B and a K from my last 2 trips respectively. No B/K/C at all right now, although I'm really really specific with my wishlist and color choices, so they wouldn't have shown me things outside my wishlist. Barely even any mini bolides! I also had to wait 3 weeks for my kelly bracelet to be transferred from another store/ordered (not sure which one the SA ended up doing).

Hello,
I tried for over 2 weeks and no appointments.
I did drop by Rue Sevres today and the service was really good, from drinks to showing me around and even pointed me to various locations for me to take festive photos of my kid.
Stock is really low throughout 3 stores as I have a SA who is very frank with me who had offered me a few rare items in the past few months but even non-rare items are sold out lately. So, I ended up getting some fragrance as gifts while can't find a gift for myself. Maybe after the holidays, the stock will be better.....

So beautiful and exciting. Were you able to secure a leather appointment with the online system, or did you walk in and ask for one? I'll be visiting soon and hope to score.

I am actually in Paris and I’ve been trying to get an appointment through their online lottery system and I’ve failed 5 times already I also went in store to ask for any cancellation but they told me “madame it’s Christmas time so I am sorry I can’t help you, try online” so yeah NO luck at all for me this year apparently

Hi guys! Just thought I would share my story to brighten everyone’s mood. I got a b30 Barenia Faubourgh in fauve. The stock is low but my SA managed one of the best bag!
