A friend missed her appointment a few months ago. She went to FSH the following day to check if they could accommodate her. They declined the request and advice her to apply again (out of interest she was able to secure a new online appointment after a few weeks).

Was she offered a QB when she got the new online appointment?

Do you happen to know if she managed to get a B/K/C at her second appointment?

Anyone else has any experience with obtaining a QB these couple of days?

Hi there. I had a leather appt at FSH last week at 5:30 PM which I obtained thru the online system. I don't know if it was the late time or maybe I hadn't spent enough, but I wasn't able to score a B/K/C during my appt. The SA claimed there were none left that day. It was rather disappointing, but I knew going into it that there were no guarantees. :)

Which day were you there ? I scored 2 bags last week (one being a K28) but I was there at the opening :/

I believe they always have stock but are entitled to X quota bags a day per SA. So once they have reach their quota limit, they cant offer QB anymore.

I was there on Wednesday. Congrats! I'm glad at least other people are getting them. :) I was also very specific about what I wanted. B25 or K25 in certain colors, leathers. I didn't want anything else. Anyway, I got a sense I wasn't exactly hitting it off with the SA. She was treating the leather appt like an interview asking me what my job was, etc. It was kind of intense, not a natural getting to know you convo. I was thinking hmm...is this a cultural diff or an hermes thing? US SAs wouldn't do that. This SA might as well have asked me how much I made. lol.

I'll keep this very brief and very positive!! :smile:
I was on a girls trip last weekend; three of us managed to score! At FSH on the first day, my friend (who did have an appt prescheduled with an SA) was offered a B25 Gris Perle which she declined, and then accepted the next offer, a K28 Mauve Sylvestre. The next day at FSH I inquired about kelly to go wallets and I picked up the only one they said they had available, a matte alligator vert d'eau. On Monday at Rue Sevres (only store open on that holiday) my other friend and I went and she got offered a B30 in Feu, which she initially declined, then a K32 in Gris Perle, and then eventually went back to the B30... absence made the heart grow stronger haha.
Very positive trip for us, good luck with everyone on their trips!!!

Congrats on the score!!
Did you get an online appointment for FSH and Sèvres or was it a walk-in appointment?

I know very exciting!!! My friend had a pre scheduled appt at FSH. My KTG was walk in (no appt needed for that, although someone at George V told my friend they were considered QB!!!) and Sevres was walk in.

Omg babeee! What a score! ⭐️
For Sèvres, how are thé SAs like? I’m intending to get a couple of twilly, a pair of orans, some homeware, a watch and probably a fine jewelery when I’m there in a couple of days time. Not sure if this will help me in obtaining a QB!
How’s the queue situation in Paris lately?
TIA!

Just to share my experience, have been in Paris all week and been unsuccessful with a lottery appointment, though no great surprise there. Went to all 3 stores, FSH was like a zoo and witnessed more than one middle aged man having tantrums at the leather desk. My husband was told absolutely no cancellation appointments at all, ever, then went a couple of days later around noon, told to check later in the afternoon. Went to Sevres late afternoon and was told they were running an hour behind with leather appointments anyways, but best to check for cancellations earlier in the morning. However the next morning, we were told that there were no appointments and to try FSH. I did find an SA at each of the stores that were really lovely but equally some that were very short - one at Sevres just kept wandering off inexplicably which put us off buying anything with them, however felt the SAs on the leather desk much nicer at Sevres than FSH. Tried to get Kelly/to go wallets on two occasions at FSH and told no stock, would have taken a black croc on the second attempt but it apparently couldn’t be found in store.

Hi everyone,
I have been a silent reader of the thread for some time now and just wanted to ask you guys for your advise and/or experience.

I will only be arriving in Paris in a couple of days and was just trying my luck in the online lottery appointment system and much to my surprise, I received a confirmation email for my leather appointment.

For those whom have had an online appointment confirmed but were unable to attend, what options do you have?

- were you able to reschedule the appointment to a couple of days later?
- For confirmation, Hermes does not allow your relative/friend to go in your place, do they?
- if you were unable to turn up for this appointment, will you be denied a chance of scoring a QB when you visit the store in Paris and will it also affect the chance of you getting another shot at the lottery appointment?

TIA!

Hi ‍:wave:why did you apply for an appointment despite you could not make it to the store? The chances are equally high every day.
Of course…this gives probably someone the rare opportunity for a walk in but keep in mind…it also takes the opportunity from someone to get an online appointment who is actually in Paris. Next week you are there and in the situation that you might not get an appointment because people apply who cannot make it :huh: Greets

When we were there (Sevres) on Monday we got there about 15 min prior to opening and were like 8th in line or so? And FSH was a zoo as others have said lol.
