Does anyone have new information on the wishlist system from their SA? I logged my officially wish about 3 weeks. I read in another thread someone said wishes are going to take about a year… I may just ask my SA more specific questions. Have anyone received a first QB in the last 3 months with the new wishlist system implemented? Please share experiences! Thank you

Hi everyone,

I've already bought quite a few Hermès items over the years.
Some of them were purchased through a sales associate, but she's not very responsive, and quite often the items I'm looking for aren't available, so I usually end up buying online.

Now I'd really like to start building my purchase history in-store instead.

Recently, I went to my usual Hermès boutique in Paris to buy a Chaine d'Ancre bracelet.
Unfortunately, my size wasn't available, but the sales associate took note of everything I wanted and gave me her contact details.

I'd really like to continue working with her, but I noticed that her business card says "Jewelry & Watches."

Has anyone experienced this before?
Does it mean I can only purchase jewelry and watches through her, or can she also help me with items from other departments?

Thanks a lots!

What can people tell me about vert fonce as a colour? I really wanted a vert loden picotin but they are like hens teeth and I kept missing out on the Hermes bag drops.

So I took a risk and managed to score a vert fonce picotin yesterday on the online bag drop and I go into store next week to collect her.

She appears to be a rich dark green - please can people reassure me she is nice and dark in colour? I only really am keen on the deep green or khaki tones.... and I wear a lot of rich deep colours in winter like forest green, deep red, purple etc

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Hermès game, but not completely. I haven't received my first bag yet, despite spending a small fortune in a European store (I sometimes feel guilty, even though I'm not short of cash). I've read a lot and I already feel quite informed (and entertained) by all of this.

I have a few questions I'd like the community to help me with:

If I spend enough to guarantee the two quota bags per year, is it better to spread the spending across several categories (clothing, jewelry, home goods, etc.) or does it not matter? After persisting, I got a SO, but I don't know when it will arrive.

I love Barenia leather (especially Faubourg). My SA is trying to discourage me, and I think it's because they won't be able to get it for me. Do they make Kelly Pochette bags in Barenia (plain or Faubourg)? I'd also like to know if it's possible to special order a Kelly Pochette in Epsom?

Regarding the Kelly Pochette in light colors for everyday use: my sa says it's nearly impossible and that in seven years she's "only seen one", but I see many women (including acquaintances) managing to get them in many colors and for sure not fakes, we have talked about it, show pictures at stores etc etc.

Regarding family accounts: Does the store know that my husband and I have separate accounts? At his store, they told him they're "fully booked" and that it's difficult to get a QB this year. Is all the money spent for nothing? Is it better to combine the accounts, or is that counterproductive? How do you handle this?

That number that appears on the SA iPhone screen... is that the annual spending or the lifetime spending with Hermès?

And finally, what asiatic country is the best to get a KP with a decent presepend ? Do you recommend me to go, get it, and forget about USA or Europe? Do they have TaxFree for Americans?

Don’t send me please to the resellers, I've been noticing that they're making increasingly good quality replicas that I'm terrified of being scammed with one of them without even realizing it. I saw a really cute girl on TikTok named Nicci who's in a fight against TRR, which makes me seriously doubt these resellers.

Thanks in advance. I know most of us here aren't VIPs, but we're the ones who make the "billion-dollar business," haha. Let's see if we can all learn some wisdom!

Hi - does anybody have a HAC 32? Do you love it or is it too blocky looking? I’ve got my eye on one and it’s so pretty in the pictures but i feel like it’s just too tall. My general carry preference is a Birkin 30, with a 35 for work. This is taller than the 35. Help?

I don't really like my SA, what's the proper etiquette for switching? Will it look bad switching?

When I had my appointment for my SO I Chose brushed Silver Hardware and now I am Kind of unsure if I made the Right Choice 😫 does anyone have Experience with it and if so do you Like it?

After waiting for an hour outside the Hermes store in Barcelona sun during a heat wave we finally got in. We were soooo excited! I already knew exactly what I wanted to purchase. I was checked in on a handheld tablet and there were 4 people waiting ahead of me on the handheld tablet line to meet with an SA. There seemed to be numerous SAs who didn't seem to be helping anyone.
After waiting for another hour to meet with an SA we gave up and left. I'm extremely upset about this experience in Barcelona. I was going to make a substantial jewelry purchase and am now so turned off by the experience I won't buy Hermes in the future. We had a wonderful experience at Tiffany's and Chanel. The SA's were extremely friendly and welcoming and made purchases there instead.
