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'.

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.

It's just a glitch with the website- maybe you're using your hotels wifi and other guests applied for appointments as well-

Best to clear your browsers cache, restart your phone, use different internet connection ect and try again

Dear @880 , of course!

I got a lovely cashmere coat, 1 top, a twillian cardigan and shoes. Next time I want a ring or bracelet …

Some of the items were already pulled and my lovely SA helped with other items . I told him honestly, I am not looking for just a bag but if you can- an exotic is what I’ve dreamed off especially in color and a Birkin.

He had me wait almost 30 mins, and introduced me to the leather Director - she looked up my history and also just asked me “informally” my background: when I said my husband is French, I’ve lived and traveled in 5 continents etc and I’ve been buying for over 10+ years - she said we are delighted to see you and welcome you back over summer to have coffee / pastries in the garden with dear hubby.

After purchase of items I did go downstairs to get twillian and someone was taking a picture of my Birkin. He immediately stopped them and said it’s ok to take pic of the cabinets and displayed items but plz don’t take items that belong to a customer- he mentioned many people post as if it’s theirs and wanted to prevent any future problems. It was weird… to me he was lovely- but he was very rude to the person and I did feel bad for them.

He also mentioned Hermes is planning to go completely digital- cities or serial numbers will be tied to the first purchaser- they are avoiding influencers and more importantly large scale resellers from taking place.

There was a lady dressed next to me in all Dior/ she was beautiful, young, elegant and carrying a Kelly 25. He leaned over and him and the Leather Director immediately whispered “reseller” I even asked how can you tell and he said we can tell immediately. They ask 10 Oran sandals, 10 scarves, 10 belts and then immediately ask for a B/K.

I found it all fascinating but the best part was/ he sent it to my hotel room and I got pressies for the first time! A few perfumes and a note pad.

All in all/a lovely trip and there is nothing like Paris!

Try again, it may be something with your wifi or vpn. Sometimes the site makes you go through an extra step if your wifi is super fast or something like that. I've had some weird things happen with Hermes.com that I've never had with any other site.

Hi guys! I had my 2nd leather appointment at FSH yesterday ( 1st fsh leather appointment was June last year). No luck again sadly… both leather appointments I was offered non quota bags like picotin 18, mini bolide and the new mini jypsiere. Just wondering if I would have to wait 6 months before applying for my 3rd appointment or does it not matter because I wasn’t offered a quota bag yesterday?

I’m headed to Paris in a week! It’s my first time being back since 2019! I have an appt with my SA for the last day of my trip as he is on vacation until the day prior to my departure. I’ve sent him a wishlist as to which he has replied that he doesn’t have many of the rtw pieces I’m interested in.
I’m worried that he won’t have time to look for leather goods/bags since he won’t be in the store for over a week prior to our appt.
I’m going to still try my luck in the appt system as well

This very well could be true, but I do think that letting the SA know that this is your second time or that you have gotten rejected for a while might help. Then again, it depends completely on the SA, and what truly is available in the back. In this case, there probably wasn’t any bag that was close to what you wanted, and she didn’t want to disappoint you by offering a bag bigger that you wanted or in a color you wouldn’t like. Hopefully next time, they will your perfect bag.
