Started my Hermès journey overseas — questions about SA etiquette
I accidentally started my Hermès journey overseas at a SEA boutique while travelling, and my SA has honestly been so lovely. Over a couple of visits I picked up a handful of things — sandals, scarves, a belt, etc. They also happened to have a Picotin 18 in Etoupe GHW available, which of course came home with me 😅
I’ll be flying back there again in a couple of weeks and am planning to purchase a few more things. I also expect I’ll be back again towards the end of the year for more shopping as well, since I travel there fairly often now.
Would it be alright to text my SA beforehand to ask if she could get a couple of items ready for me / hold stock if available? Or is that considered too pushy?
Also wondering about gifts for SAs — I was thinking of bringing some snacks or pastries from my country for her and maybe to share with her colleagues. Is that generally acceptable/appreciated, or better not to?
