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.

hello anyone
I’m in Paris now and I applied the first two nights here. My question is Does Hermes send an email telling you that you don’t have an appointment. Or are they sending out appointments and for everyone else it’s a don’t call us we’ll call you sorta deal. Kinda disappointed that I didn’t even get “no go away foolish American”.

Success story! Applied every day for an appt and failed every day. Went in on Saturday to ask for cancellations and was directed to the QR code even for a non QB.

Today (Monday) I went in around 330pm and the same ladies who rejected me on Saturday whisked me upstairs when I asked about non QBs. Offered a bolide 25 in vert jade, halzan 25 in vert vertigo, and ended up walking out with a rose azalee PHW Constance 18!

I didn’t ask about B/K but was offered 1 of each bag I asked about in the colors I asked for. I didn’t have a sob story, just mentioned I had been trying for an appointment. Dressed nicely and wore Hermes jewelry/bag (also when I was rejected Saturday) but they didn’t look at what I was wearing both times. My takeaway is to go on a Monday or Tuesday as a walk in and avoid Friday and Saturday at all costs. Big thanks to the people who posted here about going in around 3pm earlier in the week!

Do you think if I ask my SA if my home store can “help” arranging leather appointment in Paris that is rude? :smile:

Ask your SA/SM. They can do it for some favorite clients as a one time thing (like a special anniversary). (I have never asked for it or done it, but I know people who have). I also know of one VIP friend at BH whose SA said he was able to organize anything else (museum , garden tour etc), but that is bc she literally can get anything she wants with him and does so. (So I think his view was she doesn’t need a bag appt)

Congrats @shadesofpink ! I think @LovingTheOrange mentioned going at 330 pm upthread !

Congrats! So I guess this confirms that a Constance is not considered a qb in Paris?

I’m heading to Paris in August right in the midst of the Olympics. My bday is around that time so I’m hoping I can score something if there is even anything left since there will be so much more demand with all the tourists in town. Fingers crossed!

correct. I think it also helped that my SA saw my rose azalee calvi when I mentioned my love of pinks. He mentioned that it was lucky they have a lot of nice colors today. I saw someone else getting a non QB offer in what looked like Celeste— couldn’t tell if it was Constance or roulis. Also saw another SA carrying a stack of boxes near the elevator and saw a Della cavaleria Celeste label. Bonus FSH sighting: saw Michael coste going up and down the stairs a few times!

So Michael Coste’s instagram confirms that they cannot care what we wear shopping in Paris. Wow the women on his instagram are chic out of control. In my best outfit I’d look sloppy in comparison. At least that means there’s no reason to worry about outfit anymore!

For those of you who placed SOs in Paris, was that through lottery appt or existing relationship with a SA? I’ve heard that it could be easier (in some cases) of getting offered an SO in Paris than at a home store because of availability.
