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 was in Paris for the first time back in January and was on the B/K hunt. I am returning in about a week, but not as interested in those those bags, but others like Bolide and Roulis. Is there a limit/quota on those? I am looking to get 2-3 things and some SLGs.

Hi Sandy, since it is over six months since your last purchase, you should be able to buy any bag. Last time I was told only one bag is allowed every six month even if it is not a b or k. Last time i was asked to choose between a jige or a kelly so my choice was obvious.
But i also read here that it depends on your relationship with the store. Good luck to you. Have a nice trip!

Quick question: if I get a Kelly, will they sell me Evelyne as well or does it count towards my quota? Thanks!

Hi expatwife, Evelyne doesn't count towards the quota. I've just bought a Kelly & an Evelyne last Monday.

You are very lucky mad_for_chanel! Congrats! I was not allowed to get two bags last June! My friend who also went in June was not allowed either.

I'm just wondering how good the stock is for B or K at end of Nov? I've studied this thread and feel ready to embark on my B/K hunt in Paris!

What color was the other Kelly? Your blue glacier is tdf. Did you share your experience here? Did I miss it? I saw your pic in the H action thread. You look lovely.

Thank you! I guess, I will try, but only after I manage to score K, just in case.

I would suggest buying the eve at one of the 2 other boutiques if you manage to get a b/k at FSH. I feel like the 1 bag rule only applies to FSH, but may be wrong (this is how I bought 2 bags 2 years ago).

Agree. Get the Kelly first.

It's really all luck. I tried last November and struck out but got what I wanted in April. But I hadn't educated myself well enough by reading this thread in November. Just one persons experience. I thought perhaps it was too close to Christmas and demand was high but who knows. It's a lovely time to visit though.

Thank you for your kind comment. I enjoy looking at all the gorgeous ladies in the action thread but I'm really new & shy at posting my pics .

It was a Sellier 32 Orange in Phw . It felt big on me , strange cos 32 in Togo is ok for my frame. So, was a no brainer to pick the smaller light neutral, which is missing from my current collection. Still I keep thinking it would be great if I could get both.

Pretty much like everyone, I queued and asked and was told no B&K. I then proceeded to buy other items on my list , choosing and winnowing over 2 hours. Eventually chalking up just a little under €5k. He arranged delivery to our hotel and said I should return in the afternoon as he would have the Kelly then.

Actually I bought the Evelyne first and then got offered the Kelly.

Sorry double post

Did the same SA tell you no b/k, then assisted you with buying other items, then told you to come back in afternoon for Kelly? Then same SA sold you Kelly?
