Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

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.

It’s def hit and miss. I usually ask for an appt and make a comment about how I’ve tried for X number of days with no luck. I usually also ask if my SA is available and that sometimes works. It def depends on who the hostess is. Some are much nicer than others.

Currently in Paris right now and FSH is soo pretty! Been trying for a leather appt with mine and my fiancé’s passports for the last 3 days. What I wasn’t expecting was I thought I would be going through multiple SA’s since I was buying items from different departments, but from day one, my Paris SA helped me through all departments which was nice. My fiancé did ask about a leather appt for me, specially for a Kelly. The SA was kind/honest and said she can’t make any promises but she did ask him if I was possibly interested in any other bag other than a Kelly or Birkin. She told him she can help me with any bag except those two, so for all you girlies looking for non-quota, there’s def a chance with some pre-spend ($1k-2k) from my experience. Unfortunately, I already have a mini Lindy and don’t want to invest in another non-quota bag so will continue to try for a Kelly :)

Oh awesome!! Were you paired up with a random SA upon walking in or did you start browsing/shopping in a specific department ?

Hello everyone.. I’ve just returned from Paris.. this was my second trip in a month.. I tried for the appointment multiple times using my mum, my husband and my passports.. but I was unsuccessful.. all the days I was there I also physically asked and requested for a leather appointment at Sevres and FSH (before 1 PM i used to try to be at the store) but nothing worked out. In my last two trips, I feel Hermes staff really observes you from up to down and I also feel they are racist! This is my personal opinion. I could see that they are checking me out. I have a decent profile in France as I visit regularly and on each occasion I make purchases of accessories, shoes, belts etc.

I went in around 3:00 on Tuesday and they were BUSY. Browsed around the store for a bit to see everything then went back downstairs nearby the door there was someone who greets everyone. I asked her for an SA in the fashion jewelry metier and she got someone for me, so we started there but I did tell my SA I was interested in shirts, homeware, etc.

Is annual price increase already happened? I’m curious if Paris Hermes stores are piling up QB before price increase and Olympics games to have enough stock

Just a funny anecdote to share but when I was talking to an SA the other month she was worried that they would be so slow thinking everyone would be there for the sport and not the Hermes! :lol:
