Hi! Does anyone know is it hard to get Constance18 or mini lindy from Paris boutique?

Mini Lindy is relatively easy. As for Constance 18, apparently it’s oos for many months. Haven’t had any luck getting it..

Just arriving in Paris as we speak to try my hand at the Hermes Hunger Games, I’m taking all the great advice from this thread and all the good vibes with me, but I have a general question; people that have been to Paris recently, how safe do you feel wearing H bags and jewelry etc around (day-time)… I plan on wearing a quota bag to my appointment should I receive one, but I’m also worried about safety, any advice?? TYIA XOXO

Very safe, but I also feel very safe in NY. But, I don’t really frequent high tourist areas and those in my vicinity tend to wear more luxury goods

If you make any purchases just have them sent over to your hotel so you’re not carrying them all around Paris. Lots of quota bags being carried around in Paris, just be mindful of surroundings as you do anywhere.

Yes more than anything my goal is avoid sticking out!! I hope me and my bags blend in, and any new bags I may get will definitely be sent to our hotel! Thanks for the advice

Back home from Paris and thought I’d share my experience. I met an SA on my last visit to Paris a few months ago at the George V store (walk in appointment). He gave me his contact number during that appointment, so I reached out before my visit to arrange an appointment during my Paris visit, on my birthday!

The day of my appointment came and I was very excited because I already had him a few pieces (shoes, RTW, belts) aside for me to look at on the day. After choosing two pairs of shoes and a belt we went into the private room to start talking bags.

I requested my top top choice which was Chai in a small bag (either mini kelly or birkin/kelly 25) with gold hardware only. I said if that is not possible, a neutral colored mini kelly would be my next choice.

I was given the option to take one of two choices.

Chai togo kelly 25 gold
Nata Epsom mini kelly gold

As soon as I saw the chai, it was love at first sight! The wonderful togo with gold hardware just took my breath away! Nata was of course lovely as well but my heart was singing looking at the beautiful chai kelly.

I also had asked at my previous appointment during my last trip to Paris about a Nata swift constance with rose gold hardware. I know they are very hard to come by and I’ve had yet to find one. So, on a whim, I asked again this time about it. He said “no madame, as you know they are very hard to get in swift, but let me check if it is possible to order”

When he returned, he brought two colleagues and he said “Madame, let us do an a la carte order for this constance for you in swift. My colleagues here will assist you in placing the a la carte.”



I was stunned! So, I will have another reason to make a trip to Paris whenever Ms. Nata Swift Constance arrives.
So, presenting Ms. Chai and a couple photos from my appointment. It was a wonderful milestone birthday to celebrate in Italy and France and I’m very happy to be heading home with some nice pieces as well!

Happy shopping everyone!

Hi, would like to ask: if I m a walk-in customer, do u know what are the chances of getting mini Lindy or mini evelyne? Thanks in advance!

No chance at all. First of all, you have to secure a leather bag appt.
Unless you are able to secure an appt during walk in asking for cancellations.

Thereafter it’s purely on luck depending on the sa assigned to you.

Hi!
I just applied to get an appointment and got rejected automatically while my husband didn’t. I tried twice. I got this answer.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
I always have issues getting an appointment with my account and some mistakes on my information were made… It was supposed to have been rectified…
Thanks for your help!

This happens sometimes. Just try again in a few.

I received a walk in appointment and purchased a beautiful ostrich roulis and some shoes. There were no quota bags available matching my specifications during my previous visit.

I would like to think I received contact information because we really hit it off over the love of the brands products, special leathers, and so on, vs. a specific purchase or purchases.
