Hi Everyone,
So lovely to have so many supportive comments from this wonderful family of Hermes lovers.

Dream came through for me on a Saturday.
I was skeptical when I got the appointment for a Saturday and at 3:30pm……arrrrr
But after trying to get an appointment since late 2021....I was not going to waste this appointment.

I wore my black dress with Constance belt (no bag as I was in high hopes of getting a bag..and we all know how gigantic their paper bag is haha. so, I don't want to carry 2 bags home.

The appointment was for 3:30pm, but postponed to 4:20pm....which I thought would be too late to get anything special..
But after a little small talk and she got a sense of what I am looking for, she went away for what felt like hours haha. but She came back with a box and said the magical words of 'follow me, madam'.....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
In the upstairs little room, She slowly pulled out my 28 Sellier Kelly in Black Epsom and gold hardware (yes, MINE!!!!) which I am totally in love with. I was going to purchase a colorful strap to go with it (so that I can use it cross body when I take my daughter to school) but they did not have the color I was looking for as they only have 1 in orange color which makes a black bag looks a little Halloween in my opinion as it was really orangy.

But I am sooooo happy especially when it was a Saturday late afternoon and I still got this beauty. Stock was low on the SLG I was looking for and only 1 bag was offered. It is the top of my list which made me smile the whole appointment until my lips were sore.

FINALLY, after few months of trying to get an appointment. I wanted to sincerely thank everyone for your emotional support through this journey. The appointment system here is so much harder than in North America when purchases counts and I can now rest for a while and not register until close to my next special occasion later this year (18 year Anniversary with Hubby).

Here is a photo I took in the small room as I told her that I want to capture the moment, I will post more photos when I start using it.
:smile: Still smiling and will get a cake for the celebration with my daughter and husband tomorrow.

I tried asking for cancellations and was told the same response.. lottery was the only way to get a bag. Also asked about rodeos/Pegasus charms and was told none.

Afraid it’s because I’m a young male and don’t look like the ideal client :(

Also saw lots of people buying shoes at FSH on Tuesday between 2-3pm. Was told lots of clients because of French open, holidays, etc

Your status will depend on pervious purchase history not looks.

Neither the look nor the purchase history when it comes to Paris stores, just no luck, no stock, not the good SA, etc...

I just came back from Paris. I had an appointment with me SA and the service is very efficient. I was immediately asked what I would like and taken to the private rooms. I waited five minutes and she brought me a lovely Kelly and Getta. She then proceeded to spend 2 hours with me to find other items on my list.

On my first appointment visit I was in the open area in Sevres and then taken to a dressing room.

I noticed if a person is offered a BKC at Sevres, it will not be in the open area. I asked her to show me how to tie a twilly correctly and her response is, "I cannot show you out in the open, the store will be not in a good state".

If I walked in and assigned an SA, the service is very distant, "How can I help you".

Will one be able to call Sevres to make an appointment to shop (assigned an SA)?

Hi!

I am a newbie to Hermes but I managed to score an Hermes appointment in the Rue St. Honore on my second try. I've heard that the appointment time often changes. How much though? Can the appointment end up being 4 hours later than I expected? I'll be flying home tomorrow so I am wondering whether I should change my flight to a later time.

Any tips I'd be grateful!
