Hi everyone.
I’m new to the forum. I wanted to share my story, which is quite incredible. I still can’t believe it. It’s a long story so take a cup of tea .
I felt in love with H items 4 or 5 years ago. I browsed a lot on the internet to understand all the stories of H game/reseller blablabla, so I knew that being able to purchase a H bag, especially B/K/C is not simple. I went to a H store for the first time when I was in Venice some years ago and asked for a B or K. They said they didn’t have any and I left without buying anything.
Then at FSH they began the lottery system so I tried almost every week/month.
Few months after Venice, I managed to get a herbag online ghw (so beautiful) and went to a store in Nantes to buy a twilly (did asked for a B/K but they had none). Again few months later I went to FSH store to get a pair of Santorini (the SA was so lovely and gave me his card).
My DH tried also the lottery system and he got an appointment at Georges V where they said no BK and offered him a Bolide, which he declined.
I continued the lottery system
During that time, I got a kelly box vintage and a vintage H watch and came to the after sales service for a spa session. For Christmas 2021 I came to FSH store to buy another twilly. This summer, I scored another herbag (different color than the first one that’s why I splurged ).
A day during August I went to the FSH store asking for an appointment, by saying that I have tried for many many time. They checked my name, saw the number of trials and said unfortunately I have to keep trying.
Then few days after I was in H store at Bordeaux, met a lovely SA who gave me her card. I was looking for gifts for friends so bought a H tray and a shower cream for my friends. Then I asked for the Chypre and a mini bag (I didn’t precise a bag name) and was offered the Chypre in white and a mini Evelyne black phw. I felt so lucky on that day. She even told me to email her on september to check for a slot of SO. I emailed her but no reply until now but who knows.
After Bordeaux we had a day trip at Biarritz where I chatted with a lovely SA who noted down my wish list and gave me her email. I emailed to thank her the day after, she replied by saying she would try to fullfill my wish. I did precised her that is a gift I wanted for my self as a present of my first daughter, and also as a push present for my second. She did noted down.
During all the time I tried the lottery system without any success.
After our summer vacation, I went to the FSH store again, asking for an appointment (again) and they checked (again) all my trials. I said that I really wanted a present for my 2nd child, that I would give birth in only a few months. It would be amazing if they happened to have a cancellation. The man that I met was so lovely, he told me to come back at 5pm. Omg
I came back at 5pm, waited for my SA for about 45’. It was a very busy day. She finally came and apologised. She offered us to drink and asked us to take a seat, right at the leather department. She asked what was I looking for and I told her B25 or K25 in black/gold/any grey nuance and she said no BKC as in August the artisans don’t work and we have to wait until the end of the year to get one of those bags. I asked her if it was possible to have an appointment with her at the end of the year, she said no, only through the lottery system. Then she asked if there were something else that I wanted to see. I always wanted to try the GP so I ask for the GP in neutral color. She then was away for about 15’ then get back with a gold GP. The bag was very very cute and I tried/looked at every corner of the bag for about 10’. I even asked her to show me B25 and K25 on display, to compare the size. She was sooo patient with me.
After looking at the B and K on display, I told her that she could put them back. She put the bags back and talked to someone at the leather counter for about 10’.
Then she came back and I declined politely the GP as my heart was set for the B25 and K25. She told me that she was very sorry and she could do an exception for me. She gave me an appointment with her specifically, to discuss about my wish/leather/hardware. She also gave my her phone number ❤️.
That day came (I was over the moon so I mistook the day…I went to the store 1 week before the real appointment day. She was able to be available but I felt really guilty…), she took us to the 1st floor and she asked again to confirm my wish. Then she was off for about 25’ after serving us drinks, then came back empty hands. She said she was so sorry that none of the bag I wanted was on stock, and she didn’t manage to check the arrival of any of them, except for a B25 in black GHW. This beauty would arrive on september and she ordered the bag for me, under my name . Omg I couldn’t believe what I heard, my heart was away from me. I wanted to hug her so much. She was such a fairy ❤️❤️❤️. She told me we will meet again, no pressure to buy the bag. If I don’t like the color we can choose another one. That black is very classical so I can reserve another color for a second bag, a Kelly for example. I was so so happy and over the moon. Then finally the bag arrived, I picked it up yesterday. One of my dream bags, thanks to my H fairy. How I love her ❤️❤️❤️.
So that’s guys. I still can’t believe what I had experienced. Btw all the SAs that I met during this journey are really helpful and nice ❤️
And you got yourself a nice Xmès tree
. Looks like they more than made it up to you!
