before you get too frustrated, don't worry, i read the bit about working for the company, not in the boutique
with your experience, something in corporate gifts/relations, or pr would be a great fit for you. would you be willing to relocate and do you speak fluent french? i have no idea, but would guess these could likely be requirements. unless they have liasons in different countries (well, i'm sure they have a limited staff at their various flagships, but i don't know at what level you're interested - making decisions or carrying them out).

sorry but i think it would be bad etiquette to tip an SA, i know some people give small gifts if they go above and beyond their job description. i always send my LV SA thank you notes.
They are not your maid or nail lady. Don't tip with cash, it's tacky.
Spend the time to get a gift card or chocolates or flowers: they will appreciate that much more.

Where I shop for shoes, they are the ones who sends me thank you notes for buying... each and every time. Not the other way round.
Well, I belong to the party that feels a handwritten note whatever the occasion is always nice. They always make me feel, well, loved and appreciated. So, I do in kind with my SAs and I must say the ones at H that I frequent go above and beyond, so a small note is just a small gesture on my part. Having said that I send notes to my good patients, pals, and acquaintances who do things that touch my heart.
Wow I would of thought they would get more of a discount at Hermes 30% seems little in such a High End sotre.
I agree wholeheartedly. While I don't think we should obsess about gaining favor with SAs by buying things we don't need just to suck up to them, I think appreciating good service and showing it by Thank You Correspondence is a wonderful thing both to send and receive. I regularly get Thank You notes from SAs and make a point to always thank them in turn for their time and service. It's just a civilized gesture.
I think I used the wrong word when i wrote tip. I ment everything above, from cards to small gifts and so on. Just if you did anything special for your SA to show appreciation.
I´m just curious since i still don´t fully understand how it works in the US. It always feels like you are suppose to tip everybody regardless what they do for you.
For me service is something you give for free, nothing your are suppose to pay for, which you indirect do buy tipping (It was just recently i understood that you where suppose to tip the concierge at a Hotel). Anyway i´ve never tipped a SA so don´t worry
but was just wondering how it was suppose to be.
Dont laugh but I always take my SA some fresh laid eggs from my hens and she loves them.
Its nice to be nice
The staff In London are fantastic

For me, I would love fresh laid eggs!
^^^Makes for fluffier omelettes and souffles. I'd have to rob the pigeons to get fresh eggs around these parts.
