Any experiences at George’s store? Will be staying close to it. Any chance of walk in leather appointments? Do they get quota bag inventory? Thanks

I owe you guys these photos of my P18 and Bearn Key Holder from Sevres as a first time walk in customer. My QC 🐈‍⬛ expert is at it again.

FYI, I was also offered a Herbag, a Jypsiere, and a Lindy 26 Swift in Rouge Ash. I declined all of them immediately. I am okay with the Lindy but I hate Swift leather and the color is not for me.

How is this the result of a nightmare trip?? Looks like you had a great time!

Today I visited both stores.
Sa who gave me this baby girl picotin was quite busy. I visited her to purchase some balcon du guadalquivir for out new apartment in paris.

Then we came to FSH to collect my scarf order but here as well my sa was super busy. Even I couldn’t see her.

For both stores I told I will visit tomorrow and left. 🥺

Unfortunately my sa at serves told me come at 3 pm. Is it officially appointment? 😂 may I use his opportunity to ask having another appointment for leather?

Haha. At least I have one thing good to remember the experience by. I hated the trip so much that I changed my flight to leave 24 hrs after I got there.

I’ve never shopped any H stores in Paris but a friend is willing connect me to her leather goods SA. Is this allowed / can they take appointments that aren’t from the lottery? We are both not local.

I mean you can always try. Worst thing they can say is no. Chances are pretty slim though.

There's a chance your friend could make an appointment for you in advance. Less chance your reaching out could secure an appointment for yourself, given there is no relationship between you and this person.

I can confirm that chances are very slim. Can your friend go with you?

I would honestly suggest that your friend check directly with her SA first. That would allow the SA to respond and you can then take it from there. It has become rather challenging lately to arrange introductions and as she's so kind to offer this to you, it would be a pity if it put her in a difficult or awkward position.

This completely depends on the relationships. If they have a very strong relationship, they can make an appointment on your behalf or your friend can buy a bag for you in her/his own name.

Gosh thats sad...I hope you did'nt have to travel far.
At least you brought some beautiful things but I'm curious what was so awful about it?
There is always so much to see in Paris..
