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'.

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.

Its funny when SA’s mentions the low stock, yet another blogger was just offered a quota bag in a paris store with no appointment and while she just got a bag a month ago. Her experience was that she went to store and bought 3 pair of sandals, and asked for a non quota bag (constance) because she just got a kelly. The Sa then offered her birkin 24 sellier in nata, without her even asking for it.
I’m not sure if hermes not want this type of social media attention or if the SA was just a fan of this blogger.

Some people really know how to work the system. On the other hand, the bloggers keep having to prove their worth. They have to constantly search for new, unusual and trendy stuff. Maybe it's fun to do that, it's certainly challenging. Since there's only so much stuff that's really special this has to be a nerve racking task but also thrilling. I really do appreciate seeing the upcoming H fashions and silver jewelry on tpf.

I think she has a regular sa at that store or at least has shopped with that store for awhile.

Yes, I believe she has an SA although she mentioned she applied to online appointments. She also mentioned on one of her previous unboxing videos that her purchases from different departments helped out. I’m not sure if the quota bag rule would apply to bloggers etc..I noticed lot of them are friends of Michael Coste

Actually if you listen carefully, she never said she applied for for an online appointment herself. She just explains how the appointment system works. Wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Coste gets the appointments for them.

I recall she mentioned it at some point how she tried to apply for an appointment in one of her unboxing videos. That would of course change if she has an SA at FSH.

My understanding is that she has her own designated SAs at FSH, including Michael Coste being one of them, cos he offered her the pastel yellow Kelly 25 in December 2021. :) But I think she was also offered Kelly/ Birkin by another SA from FSH recently too.

She mentioned she doesn't go through the online appointment system as she have her own SAs. She also did note that for people who doesn't have a designated SA, you would have to apply for the online appointment system. She clarified that she has been shopping with FSH for many years now.

Absolutely, I agree with you she doesn’t go through online appointments at FSH but I think she did in the past before having her SAs . Sorry I wasn’t clear enough in my posts

Honestly, I just feel dreamy when I see them all being offered the kellys and birkins and I do envy them. But I don't want to question and judge why and how, cos that would make myself miserable. DH and I are meant to go to Paris in June 2022 and I pray hard that our hopes could be realised as it is meant to be our belated Honeymoon. We got married March 2021 last year and wasn't able to travel out from Australia cos of COVID. My dream bag has been a Kelly 25/28 or Birkin 25/30 for years now, and I really hope that if we get to go Paris, can only pray hard that the H fairies and gods are at my side to bless me with an appointment and being offered one there for honeymoon.

But I also get myself prepared for the worst, cos I seen so many unsuccessful stories, I tell myself can still be hopeful but don't keep my hopes too high up. I do dream and hope that in June if everything is ok at Paris, that H has more stocks available to offer to more people who have dreams to own this bag too.

DH and I are meant to go to Paris coming June 2022 and I pray hard that our hopes could be realised as it is meant to be our belated Honeymoon. We got married March 2021 last year and wasn't able to travel out from Australia cos of COVID. My dream first H bag has always been a Kelly 25/28 or Birkin 25/30 for years now, and I really hope that if we get to go Paris, can only pray hard that the H fairies and gods are at my side to bless me with an appointment and being offered my first ever H bag when we are there for our honeymoon. I can’t even decide on my preferred color cos H color palette is just so so beautiful I don’t even mind if I get offered one with a pop of color/ neutrals/ pastels. :love: :love:

But I also get myself prepared for the worst, cos I seen so many unsuccessful stories, I tell myself can still be hopeful but don't keep my hopes too high up. I do dream and hope that in June if everything is ok at Paris, that H has more stocks available to offer to more people who have dreams to own this bag too.

Thank you so much for your support! I will definitely keep you all updated on how it goes if I do get to go. :smile:

In the meantime, are all the H shops at Paris open currently? This thread been a little quiet lately. :O I guess many people couldn't get to go there now cos of the number of cases?

Hi, I had failed to make an leather appointment many times in last fall. At that time, the competition was really really tough. Is getting better or worse for making a reservation than last year?

I really feel like its a lottery! I went in December with a group of 5 for a week. All 5 of us tried with our own passport info everyday and no appointment. I hope you get one!
