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!

Huge Congratulations!!! And You look stunning!!!
 
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.
100% agree with ^
if you are so inclined, please do post action pics of your other purchases, esp. RTW :smile:
FSH has a lot more selection than other flagships and I would love to see!

O.M.G. That bag is gorgeous and you wear it beautifully! That outfit is perfection. Seriously, goals. What a great story. I'm of the mind that a purchase during a trip like that assigns special meaning to the item purchased. I hope the Kelly and the Constance bring you a big smile every time you look at them!
 
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!

+1 with @masschaoz, almost no chance without a leather appointment

paris seems committed to keeping bags, esp. popular ones like these, for leather appts or established clients

perhaps a larger evelyn or lindy might be possible if you are very lucky, IDK

Do u purchase any jewelry ? Hi was wondering do we need to stick 1 shop or as long as have purchase history frm the 3 from Paris then will have higher chance of getting a bag.

No I didn't purchase any jewelry. I purchased items I was interested in, not something in order to get a bag.

I have a very specific list at this point in my collection and do not have unlimited funds to get any and all things.

I am going to Paris next week. I've been reading through the thread and have seen people mention about a leather appointment. Is that the same as the appointment that is on their website, where you can only make one a day in advance? If not, where can I make a leather appointment?
 
since the borders have opened, everyone is going shopping. I wonder if there's any season in paris, where people visit lesser? During winter? if you know if there's a quieter season, please share. I shall plan a trip next year, i see all my friends queuing to get into stores, its scary!

Queuing everywhere seems to be the norm in Paris now... The shopping experiences are much different :tdown:
 
My husband and I have both applied to the online appointment system for two days now and have gotten immediate declines. From what I've read here, I thought that you receive the decline or acceptance at night. Am I doing it incorrectly?

I think your emails or numbers have been blacklisted. Try with a new number or new email and all will be good.
