Paris Hermes FSH - Leather appointment / shopping experience! - Very recent!

Hi All, wanted to share my quick story about FSH store.

I just got back from Paris, genuinely for a trip/shopping.

Ended up shopping at Hermes FSH store with ONE SA, throughout the trip!

Spent almost EU20,000 on things like RTW men & women (including coats) and some shoes. I loved them all as they were around 40% cheaper than my home country!

Anyway, I also got the leather appointment as well, which I did not expect! But the time was later in the day.. Less hopeful but as I had a decent(?) pre-spend, maybe I could be able to walk away with a QB!

I already have few pieces of QBs that I got from my home store, and hence my choices were quite specific.. maybe that was the reason but they basically said no QBs to sell... By the way while I was waiting for my leather SA on the 'leather floor', I saw some people going further 'upstairs' with their SA, and they looked like people in fashion industry - they had this celebrity look - but I honestly couldn't name them. In fact I did see a few celebrities, I could recognize, in the store throughout the week!

I got offered few non - QBs but I didn't take them as I had most of them already.. Anyway, I knew it was Men's fashion week during my trip and I was hopeful that it wouldn't matter too much...

But I was wrong! It was Haute Couture week straight after! (which I didn't know about - foolish me!)

Anyway, on the last day, I asked my beautiful SA (that I shopped with this entire trip), if he could secure me a QB. And he said, he really tried but NO QBs to sell. My assumption is that the store locked away all the QBs to have them ready for VIPs attending Haute Couture week..

I got the pieces I wanted to buy and I was happy as they were much cheaper than my hometown. I'll try for the QB again when I see my SA again! Let's see what happens :D:D
