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'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

Detaxing (to US from Europe) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/best-way-to-detax-after-h-in-europe.178302/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



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.

This isn’t a uniquely Parisian thing. All stores get budget for SO. Sometimes a store will have remaining budget because a client flaked or they just kept the budget reserved for special circumstances that never occurred. In these cases, the SM will select specs and order the SO as normal store inventory when it arrives. Also, rejected SOs go into general inventory when a client decides not to purchase it.

Everything acrowcounted mentioned. We got lucky and got one years ago in Connecticut.

Has the online appointment changed slightly? Are we supposed to receive an email validation after security check? I have not receive it after 1h of submission. Is this normal?

Yea, supposed to receive an email to validate. Check spam. If you didn’t receive, try resubmitting later. Happened to me too and I got the verification on third try.

Hi everyone, I have 2 passports and I was thinking about getting another phone number to up my chances at the lottery system. Do you guys think this could be risky and get me black listed. I have a unique name (literally no-one else in the world has it).

Its risky and probably not worth the effort. Your time would be better spent going into the store, shopping, being charming, and trying for a walk in appointment.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone been offered a special order bag by their SA? I read online that only the Hermes Parisian stores have special order boutique bags that are curated to be offered to customers and that these bags have the same horseshoe stamp etc…

Just wondering if any lovely ladies here have been offered one!

I would agree with the above responses to your question. I have been offered special order bags which were not placed by me, both at the same store with the same SM, but in Asia. One was a decade ago, one just last month so it is not unique to Paris.
FSH has a huge quota for SO orders and a significant number of non- resident clients; it's very feasible that they might decline their order when ready or not be able to return to collect these bags in the relatively small window given. So far I have been fortunate enough to place my orders there and not personally been offered any which have become ready stock, but I can see why it would happen with some frequency.

Quick trip but had a very nice visit.
Here’s some eye candy from FSH.
It’s hard to tell from the picture but the Kelly in the window is MASSIVE. Literally for an ogre lol.

I do work with an SA and they were able to arrange a visit to the rooftop garden, which was a very lovely and special experience. 🫶

Same here! I purchased one that had the specs chosen by the SM and I was very lucky to have received the offer.
