I'm in London at friday until monday and thinking of let my tag of my keepall heatstamped. at selfridges they seem to have the bus and the Metro sign ..

but the paris stamp is also really really beautiful ..

don't know what to do, wait for paris or go with the bus in London ..
are they able to do it faster than a week. like 2 days for tourists?

They really seemed quite rigid on 3-4 working days when I visited. Maybe the person that does hotstamping is in on the day you arrive but chances are slim.

Your best bet is go to Selfridges and ask. My guess is you will ended up getting Paris stamp because it takes too long for Selfridges to stamp unfortunately.
 
That’s frustrating how long it takes in London.

I’ve had item hot stamped in Asia and it literally took 15-20min (there’s usually someone qualified to do the hot stamping in stores where it’s offered)
 
Anyone who knows special Japan stamps in Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka area? I'm going end of March hopefully to score flower stamp but I'm most likely not travelling to Tokyo(trying to squeeze it in).

From what I recall reading from this thread previously, the Sakura stamp in Tokyo is only available during April, and I’m not sure if it’s something that is done every year. I will be in Fukuoka and in Tokyo and possibly Osaka during the first half of May. If I see anything I’ll be sure to post!

Thanks I'll try to ask around also once I'm there and post information that I can get :)

From reading online, my understanding is Japanese stamps are usually not store exclusives and they generally stay in a store for only a week or so. For example, someone tells you on Jan 1st they found balloon stamp at Ginza store in Tokyo, if you go there on Jan 11th, that balloon stamp have already moved on to a store in say Nagano and no longer exist at Ginza store. Japanese stamps are really the hardest ones to get as they don’t stay put.

Thanks for the information :) I'll try visiting the stores that I can pass by during my trip; hopefully I'll be able to get a good stamp while I'm there.
