Hi Hermes Lovers!

Getting the Birkin/ Kelly bag is definitely a special event. Do you dress up for this red letter day?

There's so much interest in the Hermes forum, from preparing to receive your special order Birkin/ Kelly, to 'what you wore to Hermes' when you 'scored' your Birkin or Kelly.

Please share your pictures on what you wore for this cherished event on which you collected you Birkins/ Kellys in the store, or what you were wearing when you 'scored' your birkins/ kellys as a walk in!

:happydance::lol::happydance:
 
My pajamas. :biggrin: I live far from my store and all of my bags have been shipped to me. The only bag I bought as a walk in was my first Kelly, and I had just gotten off the plane, so honestly it might not have been much better than pajamas that I had on.

My first Hermes bag was a SO Birkin. I usually dress up when I go shopping, not because I want to impress anybody, but because I love dressing up. On this particular day however, I was getting ready to head to my son's baseball game when I got the call that my SO had arrived, so I was dressed pretty casually. Of course I drove as fast as I could to pick my baby up and still make it to the game on time. My SA is pictured with me. Since my store doesn't allow pics inside the boutique, we stood in front of the windows while shoppers in the mall stared, probably wondering why in the heck we were having our picture taken, but it was a special moment for me, one that I wanted to remember.

I don't dress up to go to H and definitely don't dress up to pick up a B or anything. I just dress whatever I happened to dress on that day. When I bought my first B, I dressed super casual and I was perfectly happy with it.

You wear a big smile on your face. Done.



I only remembered what I brought to collect my first birkin....my credit card.



All you need to wear is a smile, surely?


Your wittiness made me smile 😄

That said, I suppose since I am fairly new to my store, I suspect that my SA appreciated me looking presentable when she introduced me to her SM when I picked up my bag. Since I was running over from work, it wasn't an issue (otherwise on a weekend, all bets are off 😋).
 
My robe! I live a long way from Hermes!

I did look nice in Paris when I bought my Picotin - good slacks, cashmere t-neck, Hermes scarf, nice jewelry and my sheared mink jacket (it was Jan!). I do try to look nice when I shopping big city stores - probably due to my age and remembering a lady never went shopping without wearing heels/hose and a nice dress or suit. It simply want done - sort of like dressing up for church which I Aldo still do. I see it as a matter of respect.
