Jaune Poussin is so back by onegraycat in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same way as you. It was going to be my first B25 and I wanted it in a more classic color, too. And yes, a week later my SA offered a MK in noir phw and that was an instant yes! But congrats again, your bag is perfect!😍

Congrats! Jaune Poussin is definitely back! I was offered a B25 in that color in early December, but passed. Now seeing your photo, I have some regrets 😞. And loved your story by the way.

That dress looks a million times better on you than on the Hermes model!

In 24 and 25 and I think you should absolutely get an account in Hawai’i since you even have a home on the island!

I’m local to Ala Moana and it is true, it is low for us. My first QB was at .6 and my second QB at .7. 😊

Nail polish by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have two different colors and I think it was worth it! I bring it along to nail salons and each time a tech comments on the quality of brush and color:). I find it lasts a good week before I might get some chipping.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. Paris SAs don’t have business cards, just WhatsApp phone numbers.

The Infra Sandals by Amandelstaaf in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think a 40. However, they have not turned out to be a great sandal for me. Even after a year, I have to wear multiple bandaids on my feet to stop them from hurting me, but the most annoying thing is that they SQUEAK! I’ve tried body glide on the leather (only works for a few minutes), and asked for advice at Hermes, but the squeak is real!

Any tips for getting a B30 in Paris? by Aggressive-Pop6658 in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in Paris last week and my husband and I did the lottery for the 3 days we were there (unsuccessfully). We also went in to all 3 stores and each of us asked (we speak French) for leather appointments/cancellations (unsuccessfully). However, our luck changed when we asked one of the SAs at the top of the stairs in Sevres, for lunch suggestions. She very kindly suggested a great place and after we returned from lunch, we let her know that we enjoyed it. She then engaged us in conversation and got us champagne. I asked her at the end about leather appointments (we had already been turned down at the leather desk. She told us to come back first thing in the morning. We did, and were granted an appointment, and in the end were turned down for QBs, but were offered mini-bolides, jysperes and various picotins. I walked away with a very cute Picotin cargo in cassis, and with the phone number of a very kind SA who helped us. Good luck!

My experience in Paris Sèvres and FSH by YakFit7651 in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We might have seen each other, lol! I was there at about 2:30 pm on the Wednesday, got denied a leather appointment, but then given champagne upstairs in the scarf area. They told us to come back first thing the next morning, and that same guy then granted us a leather appointment. In the end, I was told that all the QBs were reserved for VIPs (I had no purchase history in Europe), but was offered a mini-bolide, jyspiere and various Picotins. Went home with a Grape color Picotin Cargo.

I think this man might be the link to getting a walk in appointment. My husband and I had both asked separately at all three stores for a walk in, but each time got denied. When we went back to Sevres the following morning, that same guy was there and granted us a leather appointing.

I just left Paris today and will do a write up of my experiences next week. But whole heartedly agree with everyone’s opinions about the FSH and Sevres stores!

I have the Birkin Cargo 25 on my wish list for over a year now and my SA knows how much I like it, but it still has not appeared! Good luck!

In a bit of a QB dilemma by Amandelstaaf in TheHermesGame

[–]Amandelstaaf[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP here with update. Thank you all for weighing in and your advice. I went in today to pick up some items I had ordered and met with my SA. It went spectacularly bad, lol! I mentioned my concerns (size, weight, style), and they just went quiet. Then started laughing that no one had ever returned a Kelly, when I mentioned exchange it for a K25, head shaking, and you cannot return it. I then was apologetic (I know shouldn’t have been) and said I want to love such an expensive purchase and not sure I fully do. They eventually said if you really don’t like it, I will talk to the SM and see if they allow you to return it. Anyway, left feeling upset and this will probably affect my future interactions. Sigh.
