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.

Not sure if any other person could purchase.

I know but we had an appointment and it’s a cancellation if someone wanted to try walk in now. It’s available I would have gone to see but DH was saying to me I got both bags I really wanted along with some other bits and pieces. He’s right I’m very grateful too.

it’s was raining heavily here in Paris this morning, I had my appointment with my SA I had met previously. It was so great to see her. I left with a B25 Navy GHW Togo will post more photos later. She knew it was our anniversary and asked me if there were any other bags I wanted, I asked for Constance she told me there was nothing( well at least in neutrals she knows I can’t do anything bright) the leather desk was super busy. I saw numerous people turned away while I was there some people were quite rude. My SA even commented about it. Got some scarves and twillys too. I had also applied for DH for lottery and he has an appointment at Sevres this afternoon. I’m not sure if we will go. I know we can get a second QB but I feel lucky that I got my B25. DH got appointment first time applying after our Cannes purchase too?
We are not going to take the appointment if anyone is around the store around 5pm

It’s easy to forget but, thousands of people read this open forum everyday. Thoughts and prayers for the leather desk workers today

@Aprilmay Thank you! I had this combination, admittedly in my mind it was with ebene, in my head for a long time. Never imagined it could be reality.

If only I were in Paris...

I really think stock levels are slowly returning to pre-Covid norms as we are hearing more success stories.

Yes I’d agree. Also, they usually boost production right before PFW. Long may it continue

Was lucky to score C18 Noir Epsom earlier this month from Sevres store without a leather appointment Wanted B/K but sadly they said there was no stock available.

Stunning congratulations. I’m so glad you were able to score a bag without an appointment too

Lovely, navy and good is my dream combination. Please add a photo when you have time, I’d love to see it ❤️Congratulations!

I’m right there with you. The Sevres crew always seems too busy or distant even now that some of them got to know me. Meanwhile at FSH it has been really magical, friendly and welcoming every single time.

+1 with @gi201 and @Bdbunny on the warmth of FSH, so much so that I’ve never managed to get to Sevres (we usually only have time for one morning at H. I have been to george V, mainly bc my hotel is close by, but never felt one way or the other about it.

This trip, my FSH SA offered what she called a brand new kind of toile 30B ( at least she and her colleagues had not seen it before) toile maxi bivouac in ficelle/Nero veau swift (I accepted) and a Constance 18 in shiny Nero lizard, phw (I declined).

She knows I love all kinds of toile leather combos and I had asked about something in lizard.
I crossposted in 2023 offers thread. 30B was 8,900 EU.


I also picked out a cashmere Serge moto jacket, a sports coat with leather buckle fastening, and a turtleneck sweater. DH got a heavy cashmere zip cardigan with a detachable hood (with Clou de Selle snaps).

Whoah that's like 20k euros.
My down-payment for my apartment man I'm broke compared to you all.

 

[Bdbunny]

Congrats @880 on your beautiful B30!! I love the toile!! Congratulations!!

And omg I have been waiting for a C18 in lizard- I would’ve snatched up that Constance!! (Been offered croc C18 but passed on 3 different offers because I’m waiting for a lizard lol!)

Also love all your other goodies!! I still like FSH best for RTW. Can’t wait to see your action shots!

Is the store busy? I was texting with my SA the other day and he said it was pretty calm…. The calm before the storm of FW lol.

My down payment for my first apt was 20K too (but in USD) in 1996.
DH and I definitely know where you are coming from
We feel totally fortunate to be able to splurge like this now

@Bdbunny , it was very calm, almost empty on the floor, but it was raining hard. The dressing room that you and I both like was taken. Didn’t seem crowded on the RTW floor; and there was a lot of merchandise. However the stiff dress was sold out in size 38 except for white

Congratulations on the bag and what looks like an amazing trip.
I was there 10 days ago, RTW wasn’t that great. They certainly didn’t have some of the items you were able to purchase.
I really love the jacket!!

 

[gi201]

By the way, here is the bag I got during my last visit. I asked for a pop of color, they delivered it. It’s a B25 Vert Comics

I wonder if they got a restock for FW?

Yes, love the moto @880!!
I’m still waiting on my blue coat…
