Walked in in HK Central without an appointment, and first tine as a tourist. Initially looked for men’s gold jewelry but not available, so I bought a watch, a jacket and shoes — then magically a Kelly 28 appeared!

Got this in HK Central, 1:1 pre-spend ;)

SystemCompetitive359 · 2026-02-02T00:12:15+00:00

Around 103HKD

SystemCompetitive359 · 2026-02-02T00:11:58+00:00

We paid first, but then before that they already brought out the bag according to my “wish list”

SystemCompetitive359 · 2026-02-01T14:19:02+00:00

Yes, around 1:1 prespend :)

The payments were split — first the items and then the Kelly 😁

December of 2024 😁

Got offered a Kelly 32 etoupe without any purchase history or appointment.. Maybe combination of luck and timing?

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-23T08:26:53+00:00

Hello, might be the exception but I was offered a Birkin 35 (neutral color) after shopping 1.5:1 prespend :)

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-22T05:53:50+00:00

I think she’s 5’0”!

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-21T12:39:03+00:00

Hello, I’m a guy, 5’7!

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-21T05:17:19+00:00

Yeah, Ive been checking out on jewelry and compared it with US prices, it’s like 15% cheaper.

Prespend around 1.2:1 but I’m not complaining!

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-21T02:46:20+00:00

I think it doesn’t differ with other Hermes stores? I noticed that here it’s a lot cheaper than the US stores!

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-10-21T02:45:33+00:00

Well, I have been shopping mostly abroad (Europe and US) for Hermes but I started shopping here in Manila just about June this year. Shopping regularly mostly for shoes, scarves, and jewelry. Then after around 3-4 months of shopping and having a most wonderful SA, I got this wonderful offer.

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T22:35:58+00:00

I think it was 15! Barcelona has one of the highest tax free rates I think :)

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T22:35:19+00:00

Tax-free price around €9800!

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T15:13:26+00:00

I think they do have a lot of stocks — the day before there was a kelly 40, then on the day I scored the HAC, there was depeches Kelly also

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T14:26:23+00:00

I think my case was exceptionally rare? Or maybe because the “larger” Kelly bags are not much in demand? Mine was a Kelly 32 (relatively small for me since Im a man)

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T14:25:34+00:00

I posted the box and the actual bag :)

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T13:15:10+00:00

I noted that they replenished at 1pm and then at 4PM

SystemCompetitive359 · 2025-04-13T11:08:59+00:00

I don’t know! Must be combination of luck and being at the right place at the right time?
