I was just in Paris. I asked my SA to look up my purchase history in the US. She said it’s NOT TRUE that there is a global link on purchase history. As of now they are not linked.

I was also told (by FSH SA) that FSH cannot see my home history (US). My home SA confirmed that it could not see FSH. UK also confirmed that it could not see FSH. However, it appears other members have been told different things, IDK

Hello all, thanks for updating. Hope it’s just fashion week and everything is low in stock. I’ll be spending 5 days in Paris in May, hope I’ll be lucky enough to get an appointment!

Just wondering, do they look at purchase history online?

And I heard that the FSH store has linked to other country’s purchase record?

as of last week, they cannot see what you bought here in the US. I got to look at my purchase history and it was only items I have purchased in France.

off topic, but Louis Vuitton can see everything now. They even said that I bought too much and I needed manager’s approval to buy something that day. I told them that I am not a reseller. I just have really good taste and I buy a lot of things for my family and friends.

Hello!!

Wanted to share my experience with you guys!!

Oct 2019: Tried the lottery system 5 days in a row and got denied every single time. So I went to the Faubourg store the morning I was leaving since my flight was in the afternoon. I told them that I had been trying and they were able to assist me as a walk in appt. Scored a mini Constance.

Aug 2021: My trip was only 4 days. The first two days I applied as well as my fiancée and we both got denied. On the third day I decided to walk in at the Faubourg store and ask for an appt. Lucky enough they were able to give me a walk in appt and I was able to score a B30 Etain with just having the mini Constance and 2 jige as my purchase history.

I’m currently in Paris right now. I arrived Thursday morning. Applied for an appointment through the lottery system the night before but got denied. I decided to walk in and try my luck for the third time. But before I did I went to the shoe section to find Chypre sandals. Zero stock. I made my way to RTW and found an outfit I loved. I asked the SA that was helping me if there was any way she could help me get a leather appt, she said what bags I was looking for and that she would ask. I see her go to the podium where people are checking in for appts. And I see the SA hands her a card. She comes back and tells me that as of right now it’s impossible and that I would have to try the lottery system because inventory was extremely low. And handed me the card that had the QR code and to try again. And to come back Monday to pick up my clothes since they were altering my pants.

I applied that same night. And by surprised got an appt for the next day at 5:30pm at the George V location. But I thought an hour before closing?!?! My chances of getting a bag were probably slim.

The day of appt my appt kept moving around between the hours of 4:40-5-30 pm. I came in to my appt at 5pm. SA came to greet me and asked me what I wanted. I felt like I gave her a laundry list of things I wanted. She came back and offered me a jige in a brown Doblis and black leather trim. I declined as I own 2. She said that she’s very sorry and that inventory is very very low and George V is their smallest store. And that she thinks that stock would be normal in 2023!!!

Today I went into Faubourg store to pick up my clothes that I got altered. I stopped by the mens shoes to look for 2 pairs of shoes that my dad asked me to get for him. And as the SA was asking for my information, I went in and asked him if he could help me get a leather appt and that I had been trying everyday and I was leaving the next morning. He said he would try his very best but he’s not sure because during lunch time is the worst time to ask for a bag and if I could come back later? I said yes. He told me told hold on and to find his colleague. He comes back 10 minutes later with an SA and tells me that they would make the exception for me. I was soooooo happy!!! I gave her my wishlist and 20 min later she surprised me with a k25 Blue Brume!!

Sorry for the very long story!!!
