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'.

Hello ladies,

While I'm a bit nervous sharing my story here, I trust in the sisterhood of Hermes and believe you won't judge me.

Three years ago, a friend used her own appointment for me, and thanks to her, I became the owner of a b25 Togo rhw etoupe. And in the same week, on my birthday, I was diagnosed with cancer.

Chemotherapy rooms became my baby's playground.

I'm still undergoing treatment, and we have to go to Paris in mid-June. I say "have to" because since the day I was diagnosed with cancer, I haven't been celebrating my birthday, and I was refusing to go to Paris.

During this time, I bought an oran and twilly from Italy, and I also purchased makeup products a few times from Istanbul.

Honestly, in my heart, I desire the RHW Rouge Grenat Constance Long Wallet and the Vert Jade Epsom GHW K25.

We'll be staying in the city for a month, and during that time, I'll definitely do some small shopping. But as a cancer patient, I don't have the energy to make such a significant expenditure to buy a K25. What would your suggestion be for me?

I'm sending you a photo of my chemotherapy budy as well. ❤️

do you have the contact of the SA who helped you 3 years ago?

Since you’re there for a month, that’s a good amount of time to apply daily for the lottery. If you plan to make small purchases maybe choose the boutique of your choice and stay connected with that SA over the course of your stay. As a last attempt if unsuccessful with the lottery, you can attempt the appointment desk and try for a walk in!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday trip!

Unfortunately she was intern. we learned it during our 3rd floor moment. Actually, three years ago during our experience, we had a long chat with the intern. As I mentioned above, my friend bought the bag for me. I was in a BFF mode accompanying her at that moment.

She told us, "she is quite happy to sell this bag to young French lady" and she said that tourists always come here to buy this bag. To be honest, it was a concrete explanation of why many of us couldn't succeed.

My husband is French, but he opposes H's sales policy. For example, he believes that instead of selling 10k, they should sell 20k but only once a year. As a typical French person, I can't embrace this perspective. LOL.
