I feel like Paris is just the best shot at this point. I was told directly today my profile history just isn’t established enough to get offered a bag just yet - I bought a couple belts from my SA pre pandemic so I know obviously she wouldn’t remember me , but I did reach out. And I bought some sandals before my trip this weekend. She took note of my bag preferences - so I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’m not going to give it too much thought - but I was quite shocked to hear her bring up lack of more purchase history ! She was kind - but perhaps she was explaining why the manager made the call she did today on not offering a bag just yet.

Hello Joanne, your videos are very helpful. Questions, does the SA allow to have one appointment to serve several people (like a family) in one sitting? Or each person has to have their own appointment at the store in Paris?
@luxuryinModeration
2 жыл бұрын
In short, no. The SA would only be “servicing” the person with the appointment and any items purchased would be under that person’s account. I think it’s normal for there to be maybe 1 accompanying person, like a spouse or parent/child/sibling, who the main person could certainly express ideas for, but I haven’t seen groups much bigger than that.

I know this is from 2 years ago but you could have turned this one down and asked kindly but firmly for something you would’ve been more excited for. Something to keep in mind for next time! After all, these are very expensive pieces for most people. Even if you could resell this piece, the effort needed isn’t worth it when you could push again for what you want during the appointment.

Hi Joanne, I just left the FSH with a mini Lindy and evelyn. Pretty happy! However, I had gone to the guy hosting the appointment system and said "Oh, I'm not looking for a BKC just lindy and evelyn" so he was able to give me an appointment on the spot. In hindsight, I should not have given up so quickly and asked for an appt first? However, there were many people before me speaking to him and they all left without appts... So I'm not sure if I got the appt because I already said I'm not asking for BKC.

I went into it expecting around $10,000-$11,000 (including tax) base on some US reports so it definitely helps to do some research beforehand of the current price. I think right after I confirmed I wanted the bag, I ask the SA to confirm the price.

I don't have the contact for the leather SA who helped me at FSH. I think when I asked for her card, you handed me generic one that just said "leather department" I think they do that on purpose because otherwise they would get flooded with requests of course. And now, since only people with appointments can even interact with leather SAs, the system acts as a filter for them. I hope you have good luck and score an appointment and bag on your trip! Enjoy Paris!!

I heard they got stricter and not giving out appointments at FSH if you ask. It seems like you will have to “show loyalty” and purchase a few things. If you purchase at Sevres and click with an SA, they may be able to give you an appointment outside of online. At FSH, I believe showing loyalty will increase probability of getting an online appointment.
