I wonder if they got a restock for FW?

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



Just saw your updated pics!! LOVE the Moto jacket on you!!
Twins on the black turtleneck lol!
Also what are you wearing on the bottom? Is that a skirt? Looks interesting!

Thanks, Hermes leather zip skirt from last year. Will PM you. The turtleneck makes me feel like I am in college lol
But DH said it’s a lot nicer than United colors of Benetton was back then

Thank you @gi201 ! Your vert comics is a perfect pop of color. Perhaps they got in a lot more RTW bc of fashion week. There were a ton of new coats I had not seen. One side of the store was runway, the other was not.
ETA: oops, just realized @Bdbunny said it first

You are 100% accurate. I was told that lots of RTW would be coming in this week and next. It was a very short visit - 8 hours, wish I could go back this week

+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).

Oh they had runway SS2024 in the store?? That’s cool! You timed your visit perfectly!

ETA: btw another reason I love shopping in Paris. Prices are better than the US! I dug up the receipt for the black turtleneck I got in the US and it was $3150 plus tax, totaling $3430!! You saved 30%!

I love the bag and turtleneck sweater. The rtw pieces look so good on you.

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

Congrats! I can’t wait to see your pic…I love navy!

Already gushed about your stunning B…now for that great turtleneck which looks amazing on you. I actually saw it at my local boutique…may have to try it now that I’ve seen your great mod shots.
Congrats on a successful visit to FSH!

That sweater! The two jackets! You are ready for Fall in NYC for sure. Love them all!

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
Hugs

Rainy FSH is best FSH. On Thursday afternoon, shopping was so easy! Came back Friday morning and it was almost like summer.
It was soooo civilised!

B25 Togo Bleu Navy GHW lighting is not doing it justice. Next to my new Della from Cannes earlier this week.

It’s really hard to shop in the US after getting used to shop in Paris - The price difference and the sales strategy framework is something really refreshing for lack of better words.
