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.

I went to shop twice today and both of times got an answer "no birkin/kelly!" And staff member didnt write down my wishlist but said they will see what they have. First time i went in the morning and waited for one and half hours. Me and my husband told her what i want and she requested our passport and went away for a less than a minute. She came back and said non of birkin is available and she can't tell me when i should come back for a bag because they have no idea when they will getting a delivery and especially artisan's are on holiday at the moment. Me and my husband said thx to her and we decided to come back afternoon again to try for our luck. I never bought anything from this store and this was my first visit. We went back again about 5pm and waited for about 30mins. Another staff served us and she asked me what im looking for. I told her i want to get a birkin in neutral color and she asked me whether this will be my first birkin and i said yes. She also asked me why i want to buy hermes bag and also explained to me that how hard to get a birkin/kelly bag and many many people's are trying here everyday to get a birkin. she showed me a sample of birkin in size 30/35 for me to try on as well.she asked me whether i seen birkin bag in Australia and i asnwerd her only few times. She took my husband's passport and went away for about 2-3mins and came back and said "nothing available". She was polite and asked us when we are going to leave Paris and whether im interested in any other bag. I didnt ask her for any other bags because i really want to get a birkin >.<. She didnt asked me to come back and try again. I lost all my confidence now after all this but im here until next Tuesday so ill try again tomorrow! Do you think i shouldn't let staff know that im looking for my first Birkin?! I'll update you guys tomorrow again after visit!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It''s a pleasure to share it with you and it's thanks to the support of the community that allowed this dream to come true :hugs:

As far as I understand, the price remains the same from earlier this year. I made the purchase on Aug 1 at €6450 before VAT returns. I wasn't aware of any impending price adjustments so I didn't make any further inquiries on that.

Good luck bluestarry! May your Paris trip be blessed with many beautiful things and most of all your dream bag!

Here she is, Ms. Raisin:

Yup I went once more at 4pm and an Asian SA took down what I wanted and went off but still no luck.

Gonna try again tomorrow.. I'm only here until Sat. I managed to rent an apartment just above Chanel and I can see Hermes right from the window. I guess that makes going to FSH much easier!
