hey guys, just curious i have a great SA relationship. have one QB with them. i live out of state (no hermes store where i live) so i buy over text when im not in town! i asked for some items and they sent me this text! will they still commission? or how does this work? never had this text before! thanks!

So I popped into Hermes while visiting Doha for bag charms and a new twilly and ended up also picking up extra twillys, a scarf ring and bag charms. The SA and I clicked instantly as she showed me some of the fine jewellery and RTW.

She mentioned she couldn’t access my home account as they aren’t linked and she invited me to set up an account as I mentioned we were planning on doing more travel across UAE and they all link up. She found some lovely bag charms for me and I fell in love with these two even though I was originally looking for a Blue and white pagase rodeo. Once I’d decided on twillys / rings / charms she then asked which bags I was looking at / waiting for (I currently have a kelly 25 in pink or pastels or a B30 in neutrals with my UK SA)

She also then took a note of both and it was so easy! I didn’t even spend loads I’d say around £2k. So question can you have multiple wish lists set up on multiple countries ?

Also how cute is my new owl! 100% being named Hermes, thanks Percy Weasley 🤣

In a totally separate note I was massively unimpressed with the airport Hermes ! No one there seemed to have a clue

It looks like a cross between a Kelly and a JPG Birkin haha I love it 👜❤️

HELP, j’hésite entre le bracelet chaîne d’ancre MM et GM …

Hi! I am looking to invest in my first pair of designer sandals and I specifically want these Oran sandals in the black color way, black stitching.
I came across this TikTok a creator posted receiving them in Dubai but wanted to know if any of you have sourced this epsom leather pair in the US, and if it may be hard to get without a purchase history. As well as if there is a price difference from the regular noir.
Current located in NYC!

Thanks!!

Long time lurker, first time poster! Love reading everyone’s posts so I wanted to share my story.

I arrived in Paris on Monday, June 29, and I’m here until July 5 (leaving on an early morning flight). I entered the lottery every single day with, obviously, no luck.

On my first day (Monday), I managed to get a walk-in appointment at Sèvres around 5:30 p.m., only to be told they had nothing in the Birkin or Kelly family. The SA asked if I’d be interested in anything else, so I mentioned maybe a Mini Lindy, but those were gone too. Didn’t want anything else for the moment.

Over the course of the week, I stopped by all three Paris stores pretty much once a day whenever we were nearby, other than one day when I didnt go at all.

Today (Saturday) was my last full day in Paris. I’m here with my little sister, so we wanted to make the most of our last day instead of spending it chasing Hermès. We stopped by FSH first, and they basically told me there was no chance as they were sold out of everything Kelly/Birkin (around 12) and that there wasn’t even a point in coming back later that afternoon.

My little sister was actually the one who convinced me to try one last store. We walked over to George V.

We got there around 1. There were two couples ahead of us in line. Both asked about cancellations/walk-ins, and both were told no. The couple directly in front of us even asked a few follow-up questions about whether they should come back later that afternoon or if another store might have better luck. Still no.

Then it was our turn.

I asked politely in French if there happened to be any cancellations or any possibility of a walk-in appointment. He asked for my email address. For context, I haven’t purchased anything in Paris in over two years. He looked at his screen for a minute or two and then said, “Oh… it looks like we have a cancellation.”

I honestly couldn’t believe it.

He asked me to follow him down the couple of stairs behind the leather desk, took my passport, and then had us wait for an SA.

A few minutes later, the sweetest SA came over and introduced herself, saying she’d be taking care of our “miracle cancellation appointment” today. We were seated at a table in the main sales area.

She asked for my wishlist. I told her:

Birkin 25 or 30
Kelly Pochette
Kelly Elan

I said I was open to neutrals, just not the colours I already own (Vert Mangrove, Gold, and Gris Meyer). She actually commented on how beautiful Vert Mangrove is. I also told her I didn’t have a preference on hardware, but for leather I just really wasn’t looking for Epsom.

She then asked if I’d be open to anything else from Hermès if nothing from my wishlist was available. I told her maybe a Mini Lindy, but I already own a Lindy 26, so I wasn’t sure it made sense for my next bag. She agreed.

She disappeared for about five minutes. Then she came back carrying a box.

She started opening it right there in the middle of the main floor, which honestly made me think it probably wasn’t anything too exciting because we hadn’t been brought into a private room.

I was completely wrong.

Inside was a Birkin 30 in Togo, Bleu Tempête with Palladium hardware.

I was honestly speechless.

A complete dream bag and something I never imagined I’d be offered through a walk-in miracle cancellation. After striking out in the lottery every single day and being told “no” over and over all week, this was the most unexpected ending to my Paris trip.

Can anyone help me ID this color? It looks wildly different in different lighting, and the seller doesn’t know what color it is (she bought it pre-loved). I’m thinking Blue Lagoon, Blue atoll, Aqua, Vert d’eau?

Unusual post for this subreddit but thought you with World Cup fever may enjoy.

Left - Hermes H08 in rose gold (approximately $20K new) worn by whom I believe is the former footballer on the left, Brazilian Oscar. I’ve personally tried on the watch, it’s super lightweight and readable. I’m just not sure I’m ready to be the gold watch guy, but this is one of the most tasteful applications of it.

Right - Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho. If you’re new to soccer and watching the World Cup. I recommend taking a few minutes to watch his highlights. One of the most sophisticated dribblers.

So after relentlessly stalking the UK website, I finally got my very first bag and Hermes purchase with a Picotin 18 GHW in Rouge H!! I couldn’t believe my luck. I saw it pop up and immediately grabbed it. I think the Picotins are absolutely gorgeous, and now I fear I want to collect them all. It’s also my first luxury purchase (outside of a Mulberry Bayswater tote if that counts lol), and I was scared to use it initially, but now I’ve been taking it everywhere.

I’ve also been so happy with how switching the Twillys around can make the Rouge H match with so many outfits. At first I was a little worried it was more of an Autumn/Winter colour, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy and well it has gone with my summer outfits.

Thank you to all of you for sharing photos of your bags - I’m obsessed with looking at them all 😍

Please forgive the twilly wrapping - Im still getting the hang of it 😂
