What about me ? I was going to the local H store every week too when they first opened and the SAs almost think that I work there !! I was buying scarves and little things too so that I've an orange shopping bag to go home to. I'm a big fan of leather and luckily had not been spending anything big on other brands (except SLGs on Chanel and LV) until I met H so I feel a bit 'entitled' to myself to splurge. The H leather smells heavenly and who can resists the rainbow of colors that they offer. I never even know that any brands offer such an array of colors and that you can SO a bag.

One thing that changed this past year for me is the demand at work. I was working more hours and sometimes weekends so thanks to the H store hours, I can never get there before 6:00 so it helps to eliminate my visits for several months. Ebay also helps because the reseller prices are now so high that I cannot afford to buy from them. Either way, get yourself distracted with something else and be very selective with what you buy. 6 months from now, you're going to check your inventory and hate yourself for making those impulse buys.

Chkpfbeliever - I think you definitely sound worse than me. :laugh: I've never had the SAs think I work there but I have had other customers think so and try to ask me questions!

I like your idea of working harder .... but I know I would still make time at lunch to go to H because it's only a 5 min. drive to the mall from where I work. :nogood:

Good luck to all you ladies waiting for bags! Can't wait to see your reveals when you finally get them.

Time to bump this thread cause so many of us are in frenzy over the new F/W 2013 stuff!

1) you see a new scarf and breathe a sigh if relief if it doesn't sing to you
2) you wish Hermes issued a credit card that paid double/triple/quadruple points on H purchases
3) you congratulate yourself if you haven't bought anything at H in two weeks

All of the above is so true for me, too!
Made me laugh at myself because I do breath a sigh of relief when I see a new H scarf/bag/jewelry/RTW item that doesn't call my name.
My WL is way too long as it is right now!

I am guilty of those too!!! I'm been trying to stay away from the A/W scarves and shawls. And I have been praising myself for not buying anything from H in the last two visits!

Yes - add another one. 3a) You tell your friend how 'good' you have been recently because you have not bought anything at H in two weeks.

It's like they're piping something into the air! Any sense of restraint seems to go out the window as well!

Yes, there's a gravitational pull of our credit cards directly to the cash register.

:roflmfao::lolots: audreylita - this is a good one.

XiangXiang - that is some crazy self restraint you exercised. Two visits and no purchases ! :shocked: We might need to record this event down because I don't think it's ever been done before.

OK. This thread cracks me up. I told my husband about all your funny responses and his reply was "It's easy. If you want to go and 'just look', leave your wallet in the car." :roflmfao: He's so PRACTICAL.

I go to the stores without my credit cards and they're able to look up the card numbers with no problem. Somehow I end up spending money without even taking out a piece of plastic!

Of course with Hermes' new rules, no card through the machine means no purchase.

Yep, I didn't think this has happened before! Must be a new record!

In the last two visits, I was mainly looking at their home ware and home furnishing sections. I am brewing this big plan that if our country house purchase did go through, there will be furnished by some H goodies! I did ask for some sample of a wall paper, does that count? My store really hasn’t received many A/W scarves or shawls. During my last visit I really wanted to buy something so I wanted to buy the new cologne. But they ran out of 100ml! And I don’t do 200ml. So I didn’t buy anything!

xiangxiang, I can understand ! My last two visits, one FSH and one George V were unfruitful, I left empty hands ! Felt at the same time released, proud and ... disappointed !:D But I really did it, so this IS possible !

I admit it, I have no self control with H ~ glad that you could walk out empty-handed and not run back in to H and buy one thing!
