The first time I ever brought my mother to a H boutique, a tourist kept trying to grab the bags I was looking at, clearing her throat, tapping, even trying to catch my S.A.s eye to interrupt and ask about purchasing a bag I was considering!! UGH.
My mother said "I think she's needs to be helped" because naturally my mother is a sweetheart. I smiled at the gal, then my mother and said "we waited patiently for someone to help us, I'm sure she won't mind doing the same" and she stopped. For about 3 minutes.
When we left my mother tried to apologize to me for mentioning it, but I wouldn't let her. My S.A. had herself even leaned over and said "I'm helping someone right now. If you can give me a few moments here, I can help you too" to that gal.
I was irritated that my mothers first visit was tainted by someone who was repeatedly butting in, interrupting our conversation over and over. Not the end of the world by any means, but positively rude

Good grief!! The nerve of some people!
I am so happy my SA's take me to the back of our stores where the jewelry is and we hide behind the partition to view bags. It's not completely private but it's better than out in the middle of the floor.

When we were in FSH, I was looking at two Kellys and some wallets, and I had left my Birkin on the counter because I wanted to keep an eye on it and didn't want to have to put it on the floor, and a lady came over and picked it up and started looking inside it, and asked "Is this Birkin bag?" and I said, "I'm sorry, that's actually my bag," and she was like, "Yes, this is Birkin bag?"
She wasn't rude or trying to make off with it or anything, and because she was touching it very respectfully, it made me giggle. Mum was a bit horrified, though.
I don't know if I would like a private room, I would feel a little under pressure to buy? I like the experience of being able to look at other bags at the same time, too...

My SA at Wall St usually takes me to the side near the dressing room, but I completely understand people's desire to gaze from afar at the bags. Sometimes it's their first/only chance to see that particular color/skin IRL. Touching, well that is an entirely different story.

Ladies - you are so right.
We are happy in Vienna to have a second floor where it is very private and comfortable and only costumers accompanied with SAs appaer.

I have never had anyone approach that close to any bag I am being shown at my boutique.
I have had people look from a polite distance and I am absolutely fine with that.
I would find it hard not to look when someone else is being shown a bag.
In my experience most people have a sense of personal space and boundaries.
I am certain that any SA in my store would politely speak up and tell a demanding,pushy or overreaching client that someone will be happy to help them just as soon as they can?
I have never witnessed any outrageous behavior in my store;but I have heard a few stories!
