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.

Does anyone know if you can purchase from the French website and write down Hotel Address and phone number and get it shipped there. TIA

Buying from the French website and shipping to hotel should be no problem, just make sure to include your room # and inform the front desk. If you are not constrained in time, why not visit the store, enjoy the experience and connect with an SA?

What I did in Paris last year was to request FSH and other luxury stores to deliver my purchases to my hotel to avoid carrying shopping bags around.

just got to Paris today. Moseyed over to FSH and got there around 1:30pm. The store was a total zoo with multiple people lined up for SAs and it felt more like an American big box store on Black Friday :shocked:
Honestly I’d rather queue to be assisted directly by a SA than have to elbow my way or shout to get someone’s attention!

We left pretty quickly after seeing the mob scene. Hoping SEVRES is a bit lower key tkootrw and excited that one SA will be able to help me grab stuff from different depts.

I went over to FSH earlier this week and I felt like I was at a sample sale! People everywhere, many sitting waiting for hours for appointments. It was an absolutely madhouse. I left quickly. Sevres was also busy with a separate queue for the shoe department but they would check for specific pairs while in the queue so you don’t need to queue if they do not have what you’re looking for.

George V is my favorite store and where I typically shop in Paris. Great selection for the size in my opinion.

I am leaving for Paris tomorrow at 3pm, arriving Sunday at 10:30am. Since the stores are closed on Sundays, do I wait until I arrive (Sunday) to try for an appointment or do I start trying tomorrow for a Monday appointment? TIA

On Saturday people can apply for a Monday appointment and on Monday for a Tuesday appointment. Nothing on Sunday I believe.

Yes, a sample sale is so accurate! It was really embarrassing and did not feel at all like a luxury experience to me. Dior and Goyard down the block had queues which I now understand.

thanks for the tip on Georgev- had planned to head there Monday:flowers:

Did anyone manage to buy anything at cdg airport after security? Do you have to prespend to get a bag?

A month ago my DH was able to get me an all leather GP 30 at the K terminal. He had chosen a shawl prior to asking - don't know if that was why they offered it to him. I asked at the K terminal a few weeks ago for many things - not just bags - and their inventory was seriously depleted. There seems to be a shortage of all things Hermes right now - not just in all the shops but also on line.

Hello, after applying for a leather appointment more than 50 times I finally got an appointment Friday (17th June) at 3pm !! ( Little tip, do not plan anything the mid-day of the appointment, the time keeps changing and changing ) . I was hoping to get a mini kelly but unfortunately there was no stock … the SAs at the sevre store are amazing.
Hope to score a mini kelly next time I’m in Paris ! I will also try my luck at St tropez, Monaco, Nice and Lille soon !
I’ll keep you in touch.
