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.

If you can get a leather appt, anything is possible. It’s helpful to read the thread as many have mentioned their success in obtaining C18s :smile: However, others on this thread have also stated that it is easier to cultivate your local SA

Just to give some people some hope! I have been a regular a FSH for the last 4/5 years and was also able to have appointments made for me in advance. Unfortunately, Hermes has made this more difficult as of May 1.

I was recently in the SOF and added a day for shopping in Paris at the end of my trip. I was disappointed that I had been unable to procure a leather appt (and have a big purchase history specifically at FSH).

I went into the store towards the end of last week and I was able to get a walk in appt. (very early in the day with no wait). I told the SA what I wanted the most (a particular exotic), and then gave him a few other b/k that are on my wishlist. I waited longer than I ever had (30 minutes or so) while he was in the stockroom. He came back out with several boxes and I was able to get my second choice bag (Kelly), a KTG, and a 24/24 21.

Moral of the story- don’t give up hope. I did see quite a few people coming in after me asking for walk in appointments (declined). I genuinely think that I got the appointment (before they even checked my profile) because I tend to put myself together well (that day- ankle length jeans, Hermes sneakers, linen blouse, Isabel Marant blazer, Barenia Fabourg birkin, and a the appropriate jewelry), a good blow out etc.

Good luck in Paris!!

Do you mind me asking if you purchased quite a bit before getting offers at both stores?

I did have some limited purchase history at both stores, but my overall history for France (Paris) is very good and reasonably long and consistent, so I think that helped. I find that in France, since they don’t work on commission at all, it is easier to make a connection/show interest in other items and then casually slip in what you’re looking for.
