Is it possible to score a Kelly Pochette in Paris? Thank you!

Do you work with a SA or are you hoping to get one through lottery? If it’s through the lottery, I would say it’s nearly impossible. If you already closely work with a SA in Paris, it is possible. Now, whether it is the color you want that is a whole other story. But if you have a SA and Kelly pochette can be special ordered (I think it is but am not sure) then it is likely your SA would offer to customize it as a SO. A SO with a lottery appointment apparently is possible, but it remains a Parisian miracle.

I was lucky to be offered an ostrich black Kelly Pochette August 2022 at FSH from a lottery appointment (and purchased it of course). It’s possible. Doesn’t hurt to ask!

Amazing, thank you guys for your reply!
I don’t work with a SA there so it would be the lottery appointment for me…
Is the Kelly Pochette considered a quota bag in Paris? And is the system connected to other European countries? Thanks!

To my best knowledge, KP is not a QB in Europe but it’s one of the hardest clutches/bags to attain.

And yes the systems are apparently linked but only to the extent of SAs seeing the number of QBs/wishlist items you’ve attained.

One of my EU SAs was trying to explain how my getting a 2nd QB or wishlist item (including a KP) would affect my SO from Paris if it arrives early. I hope she’s just being too cautious. Will cross the bridge when I have to because Im praying that FSH wouldn't deny me a SO. Besides, i really don’t think my SO would come this year. Sorry for digressing while trying to answer about KPs.

It's coming to summer hols and the usual question will come up.
Are bag stock levels at it's lowest in Paris at this time of year?
Basically yes.
To us it might not be, compared to other countries, but don't forget esp FSH which is the flagship, what is low to my SA is probably relative. If someone without or with a little purchase history, with a lottery appointment, would like a "quota bag", it's probably the least choice / range of bags allocated for these clients, available in July and August. My SAs have confirmed this and they have never been wrong. September is good as it's Fashun Week again. :graucho:

Was wondering if its possible to get mini evelyne 16 in paris stores without an appointment?? Having no luck at home store , thanks

Yes I got one last month, I didn’t have an appointment and ask at the leather desk if someone could help as I only wanted a mini evelyne. Got a super nice SA she showed me 3 mini evelynes. Got one of them and got a bolide as well.
I did ask about a Kelly pochette and she said she would check and then told me she thought she had one left but wasn’t there anymore, this was a Saturday. I was a bit specific on the colour though.
I do think next time I’m in paris she will be able to help me with that one, fingers crossed. Good luck on the mini evelyne just ask and make sure to mention you want a mini evelyne and they are able to squeeze you in

Ah amazing! What colour did you get? Well done on your recent bags, that's good to hear, I'm planning on visiting end of the month but will be there earlier in the week so might not be as busy?

Got the limoncello one, they offered a white one and a burnt orange one (very close to gold) but I wanted a colourful one. I’m sure will be ok for a Tpm. I’m sure they have stock and Saturday is the busiest day so if you go during week is probably better. Fingers crossed for you :)

That sounds lovely! Was this at the flagship store? I've been offered one red and a navy, over the past few years but not the colors I was after so I declined them both. I already have an evelyne pm in rose shocking which I love.

Yes it was at FSH. I already have a tpm in gold and wanted a pop of colour, but my local boutique only gets neutral classic colours that’s why I tried paris. What colours are you looking for?
