No response yet. It’s now 9.54pm in Paris, so I guess it means I don’t have an appt. Most of my responses have come at 4am saying that I haven’t got an appt.
It does seem unfair that there’s a lot of bloggers not going through the lottery system like us and being able to get bags in fact more than 2 bags

I had an appointment yesterday at FSH. I’m a customer in my country but hadn’t bought anything in Paris for the last 6 years simply because I haven’t been there. Got two kids and a home in the meantime . I was so happy and nervous that I got this appointment and it was quite a hassle to manage letting my 1 and 3 year old at home so quickly. But my lovely husband took care so I could be able to go. I dressed up and makeup nicely which is quite rare atm and took a 7 hour journey from my home to Paris. The SA in the front of the store was super nice and brought me to the waiting area for my appointment. Then, after 10 minutes my assigned SA came. She brought me upstairs and asked directly what bags I’m interested in. She was nice but not warmly. So, I already had a bad feeling and because she asked directly for the bags. leather app. aren’t just for bags, right? I told her nicely what I’m interested in (BKC in small to medium sizes and a range of colors). She scrolled through her tablet while talking and then asked me to wait while she’s going to look what she has. She came back 5-10 mins later with a small box which already told me that’s nothing I requested. She said unfortunately they don’t have any stock of BKC but she can offer me this mini Picotin. I rejected her offer kindly. She suggested to go to the small leather counter and ask for some small bags/ purses but even the SA at the SLG counter said that she has no stock and is not allowed to sell me anything from the display case. She asked for my name to check my purchase history wich was zero in Paris and left a few minutes to ask someone if she can sell me anything but no. I hoped for a Kelly to go at least. I can’t tell how disappointed I left the store. I drove 7 hours to make it to the appointment. :( I literally swallowed my tears. Not sure if she really had no stock or disliked me or thought I’m a possible reseller.
I visited the other two stores and in George V I also asked for a Kelly to go. The SA told me without checking that she hasn’t seen one for weeks and there would be no stock unfortunately. But right behind her back, a nice couple got offered a Kelly to go in Gold. I didn’t raised to question her assertion, because I thought this wouldn’t make a difference either, thanked her and left. So, what do we think about getting lied like this in the face? Shouldn’t they just skip the appointments upfront if they know that there is no stock? And then, maybe it’s not true and they always have something but not for everyone.

Hey everyone,

For those of you who have a designated SA in the Paris store, when you email your SA in advance to make a leather appointment, do you also email them your QB wishlist in advance? Or do you only wait to mention your QB wishlist during your appointment with them?

Appreciate your kind advise on this. Many thanks in advance!

I always email to tell them my dates of travel and ask if they would be available on any of those dates on the first message. After they respond I then ask if I may send a wishlist but 99% of the time the SA would ask for your shopping list when they respond. They ask that I email 2 weeks before my trip but I get too eager and email between 3 and 4 weeks and i always get everything fulfilled, even special bags. Good luck!

I think it’s a bit of a case by case situation, if they offered you a leather appointment there’s no harm to mention your wishlist so that they could keep an eye out for the items. But make sure you include QB and other items alike…

Hello lovelies, has anyone been offered an exotic (croc/gator) during a leather appointment? I have seen it happen in the past but don’t know what’s the situation after covid.

I saw someone being offered a croc Birkin today at Sevres. Maybe Kraft in 30? I’m still a newbie at the colors but I definitely know croc when I see it lol

Someone posted on the bag offers thread that they got a B30 croc in Kraft today - might you guys have been at the same store at the same time? :amuse:

I saw that! I don’t think it’s the same store. That poster look like they were in a private room. This person that I saw was out in the open by the SLG counter. They also were being offered a noir (not exotic) Kelly 28 with phw.
