For those of you who may recall, I was recently in Paris and had no luck with an appointment online or requesting in store. We have since travelled on to Budapest and currently now arrived in Prague. My husband jokingly encouraged me to continue to apply whilst we were still travelling in Europe given how short the flights between various countries are. Many things are closed second half of tomorrow (Christmas Eve) in Prague so I just casually applied for an online appointment not thinking much of it. I just got an appointment confirmation *screams*. It is at the George V store and the appointment is rather late in the day so I have no idea how this is going to play out and what will be ‘left over’. But I just booked my flight from Prague to Paris tomorrow and back again. Good thing is flights are really cheap on Christmas Eve. Am I crazy?! I feel crazy, but hoping all the stars align and I get a bag for Christmas. Wish me luck and please send all your positive vibes my way. Will keep you all posted. If anyone has an experiences with the George V appointments and stock availability etc please do share!

Good luck, hope you get the bag of your dreams

I've had two leather appointments by luck in Paris (not via the system) in the last year, and both of those SA's were the rudest I've ever encountered at Hermes. My SA's in other departments were great! At my appointment more recently,I was asked what I was interested in, she cut me off mid sentence and said it was not an appointment for Birkins or Kellys! I told her I was really wishing for a kelly sellier 25 anyways.. Crazy. I was only offered a few non quota bags. Meanwhile, another woman there was offered a bag in a private room. I think what's so frustrating with them is how transparent their game playing is. I have purchase history, dress decently (not sure if that matters to them or what), and am super friendly and kind. So who knows why they are so rude to me?

Meanwhile I'm on my 3rd wishlist in a row in London where I live, still no luck there either. : /

I had a similar experience as you, but where the SA was assertive, but not rude. When the appointment was made for me, I presumed it was for a regular leather appointment. It was not - a limited one, which I was fine with and still happy about. I don’t believe they made me aware of the scope of the appointment until after the SA asked me what I was looking for.

That’s so interesting… did your home SA book the Paris appt for you? Or was this a walk-in appt? Is there a way to know if the leather appt is the regular or limited?

You can try going in an hour and two before your scheduled time and ask if they can take you early. Plenty of tpfers have done it in the past. Good luck!

That's amazing! My husband and I had the same thought last summer. We tried for 21 days but were able to get an appointment. I wish you great luck and look forward to hearing the outcome. If nothing else, it's an unforgettable experience!

Has anyone requested a Paris leather appointment from the US and flown in just for the appointment? Has this worked out?
