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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

I was in Paris last week and applied five times for a leather appointment and was rejected five times. But I asked for a Constance as a walk in and shockingly they said they could accommodate me. A lovely SA asked what I wanted - neutral color like Craie, gold, etoupe with a preference for gold hardware — and offered exactly that. Constance 24 etoupe gold hardware!

It may helped that I purchased some scarves earlier in the week, but the whole process is a mystery to me. I feel very lucky and love my new bag!

I've been offered the exact bag in Oct.

Saw a Youtube video of someone who got a Birkin at FSH. She got the appointment through the lottery system. Her SA (she assumes randomly assigned) brought out two Birkins at once for her to choose. When I wrote her she was very lucky to see both at once she replied that she didn't even know this wasn't common (I only know it because of this forum ;-)) So this shows once again that there are no definite rules, although the majority experiences having only the opportunity to look at one at a time.

Managed to get an appointment last week!! I had a lovely experience with a very nice SA. My first choice was B25 or B30. But i also mentioned that I like other quota bags and that i loved box leather. He came back with the most special and classic constance 18 in box leather with the mirror inside!! Absolutely delighted!! View attachment 5660835View attachment 5660836View attachment 5660837

It’s beautiful, wear it in good health.
How many times did you try before you got your appt and did you do any pre spend.

I tried for 5 days straight and finally got an appointment!

My first choice was K25 but there was none in the delivery today. My second choice was a C24 grey with RGHW and so I walked away with a C24 in Étoupe with RGHW! It is my first time purchasing a quota bag without pre-spend and I’m so happy that I was offered my first C24! Thank you for everyone that posts here as it was extremely helpful!

Good luck to everyone else!

Wow congrats! I’m on my third attempt so hoping to get lucky in the remaining days I’m here. May I ask if you select a preferred store or leave as no preference for the requests?

Honestly I’m getting quite frustrated, it’s been over 3 months since me and my partner started to apply everyday for the leather appointment with no luck :( I do have purchase history in Paris, my partner doesn’t and still none of us can get the appointment.. it seems to be super hard and since walk in appointments are not a thing anymore I’m starting to think that I should just stop and just give up on having my dream bag from Paris :(
