Hello! I was in Paris last week with DH and a friend, all three of us tried to apply for lottery and on my 3rd try I was given an appointment at FSH 🥳 I’ve been to Paris many times before, but never applied for appointment and also I don’t have a big purchase history in my hometown, just a scarf and some beauty items, I never wanted to play the H game, so imagine my surprise when I got the lottery appointment at FSH

The day of the appointment I went there with my DH. The SA pulled up my profile and asked to confirm my address and email. So he must have seen my purchase history as well.

When he asked what he could help me with, I was sincere and told him that’s our first time at FSH store and the first time I got the leather appointment and that I understand that’s might be difficult to get B or K, so I don’t expect anything and just happy to be there at all. We then went into specifics, like size and color preferences, and which other non-quota bags I might be interested in. He then come back with a giant box, saying “we have low stock, but I was able to find smth I think you might like, but it’s a bit bigger than the size you requested (I can’t recall now which size aside B30 and K in 25-28 I asked for), anyway he opens up the box and it was B35 in Togo in Blue Nuit (which was one of the colors I requested) with GHW… The bag is perfect for my wardrobe as I wear mostly navy… so I accepted it… I couldn’t believe he got me the exact color I really wanted. I also didn’t expect for B35 to be so lightweight when empty, it fits my AirMacbook 13” in Midnight Blue perfectly 💙
This is THE perfect bag for you and you wear it so well. Congrats and enjoy!

Hey ladies & gents!
I would love to hear your experiences in scoring non-QBs, specifically mini lindys and other sought after popular models in Paris 😊
Hi, I had great success a couple of weeks ago, here’s a link to my post -

I arrived to Paris today for one day to do some shopping from London. I was lucky to get a cashmere scarf I wanted and tried for swimwear and a hat I wanted for the summer which unfortunately was sold out. I popped by the leather desk after the madness of the morning when it was quiet and I spoke to a lovely lady and said they were full for the day. I explained I am building a collection of mini evelynes and I am keen to add one more to it. She was really lovely. I left to do more shopping and popped by later in the day and by absolute luck I was given a walk in appointment. I couldn’t believe it.. I was offered multiple bags and decided to pick a beautiful rose azalee mini evelyne with a really beautiful red strap and a blue du prusse mini evelyne with a really cool patterned strap in a bright blue and mauve pale. The SA was incredible and I was totally over the moon. On my way home now and absolutely on cloud nine. Definitely avoiding Hermes over the summer… it’s going to be insane as the stadium is so close to the stores.
Hi, please share which of the Paris stores this was. Thank you!
 
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has scored a quota through email arrangement with a non-leather SA.
I bought some items from a lovely SA at FSH and received her card last year. She wasn't a leather SA so she couldn't help me with a leather appointment. I wanted to reach her again for upcoming trip to order some items and hopefully get a quota.
Would love to hear your experience!

If she couldn’t help you with leather appointment last time probably it’s going be same this year unless she has been moved to leather department. But you can still try your luck. Who knows. Everyone’s experience is different at H. One client can be offered a bag while another client will hear “nothing at stock” from the same SA. I emailed a SA, who gave me her business card last year she was not able to offer bags but she was able to help in getting a walk in leather appointment. I politely asked if I could arrange appointment with her in July. She replied she was transferred to corporate office and not working at FSH store but she was nice to cc email to one of the SA who still work at FSH. And I got my appointment scheduled but it’s for RTW and I doubt I will be that fortunate to score through new SA walk in appointment again. We will see in July. Anyway I keep my expectation low.
