I’ve primarily shopped at Chanel and Celine, while lusting after Hermes from afar, but I finally want to start adding Hermes to my collection. I live in Orange County, but recall not reading very positive comments on here about the service at the SCP boutique, especially if my ultimate goal is to score a birkin. For those of you who live or shop in So Cal, have you found the service and inventory to be better at the San Diego, SCP, or Beverly Hills boutique? I know I’ll need to build a relationship with a SA before getting a birkin, but does one of these locations tend to be less snobby and/or play fewer games? I completely understand needing to have a purchase history and there are other Hermes items I’d like to buy, but I’m also not interested in spending $50K on a pieces I have no desire to own. Any advice on these particular boutiques or SA recommendations would be greatly appreciated !
