DH and I were fortunate to get an appt today. My NY SA was on the phone too (for moral support) bc I was nervous. I did ask for a shadow or cargo which they did not have for me. Nor did they have an ostrich B 25.

But I explained that I would like a dark neutral K/ B 25, leaning towards blue gray (not etain). I specifically mentioned some colors that I love like graphite, bleu abysse and bleu obscure. FSH SA picked this for me (she said) based on my style (I was dressed in dark neutrals).

Am thrilled with 25 Kelly sellier II, blue orage epsom, GHW. FSH SA said it’s sometimes hard for them to figure out what clients want, and they have to go on visual cues or hints like what the clients are wearing.

Although I am not typically a GHW person, DH, SA and I felt it was perfect for this bag. Everyone at FSH was very nice and welcoming, and I am going back tomorrow to look at some RTW (SA said she needed some time to source sizes) Good luck to everyone this week!

It looks amazing and I love GHW esp on cool-toned colors. Enjoy!

Stunning bag, congratulations. Blue Orage has always been on my list and it’s nice to see the color in different pictures

Wow I envy you. Congratulations!! I also had an appointment at FSH, but wasn’t offered bkc… The young SA said they don’t have BKC today, but it turned out a lie. I was offered bolide 30 black and picotin 22 new etoupe today. I refused them and was offered GP 30 with gold and evelyne tpm with etoupe. Are these also good?

Heading to Paris in April. Realistically, I'll only have two days to try for an appointment and am not optomistic about getting in via lottery. I'm looking for non-quota bags only. Do you think that might increase my chances of getting a same day appointment?

congrats on this bag, the colour is amazing, enjoy her!!!

Today at the FSH, I was offered only these. To be honest, I spent under 1000euro before. How much should I spend for scoring bkc?

There is no rhyme or reason to it. Some spend nothing and are offered quota bags. Stock right now isn’t as good as it usually is. That has a lot to do with it. The bags you were offered are lovely, enjoy!

These are good if you think they are good. Only buy what you love. No amount of spend would make a difference if you don’t love what they offer you.

100% agree! It’s good if you love it! Doesn’t matter what others think!

These are both lovely!

Yes that is right. I just disappointed because i came to Paris only for that appointment. But almost every hermes bag is still good. I will try again in the future!

If you enjoy the brand as a whole and that is what Hermes would like to see, then please consider many purchases in any of the other departments. Interest in only BKC is almost always doomed to failure at FSH. Just my sincere advice.
