HERMES PARIS APPOINTMENT FAIL AND AMAZING ONLINE SCORE | HERMES PARIS IS SO OVERRATED!

[@zgirl1385]

What I don't understand if you were disappointed and yet you bought what he offered. I really think it awful that people are playing this appointment game and then you accept the scraps they drag out of the stock room. Seriously. People need to stop falling for this awful sale tactic. With that said, I'm happy your aunt will be happy. My story was simple. I walked in. Asked for a specific Kelly and she came down with it. I looked at it and declined it. Her face was priceless. She could not believe I didn't want the exact bag I had asked for. But here is the difference, I am fluent in French and I am not desperate for a purse. I honestly feel people need to take their power back with luxury brands. They are nothing unless we spend.

I have totally quit wanting anything from Hermes. I sold the two bags I had (neither k, b or c) and all my belts, shoes and Accessoires. I tried getting a K or B for over 25 years. I don’t live close to a store to build a relationship and every time I travel and meet an SA, I tried to build a rapport which is a bit tougher long distance and then they leave. I almost paid twice the price for a new one the resale market for a new bag and thought - I must be crazy. I’m over it. I’m a VIC with LV and own many Chanel’s and am happy with what I have. My money is good elsewhere and they shan’t have anymore of mine.

[@zeusdiary8657]

The bag is in Barenia Faubourg leather. That is a heritage leather that ages beautifully. Sorry that things did not work as anticipated. This said, the leather appointment is a gamble, it does not guarantee being offered a QB. Also, people from the US, Australia and Asia are more in luck vs. Europe.

[@xoxofashiondiva]

I think your mini Evelyn is in Barenia faubourg leather! Which is a pretty special leather and will patina beautifully. Hopefully knowing this makes you feel just a little bit better about the Paris appt fail❤ I also had the same disappointing experience at my Sevres Hermes appointment two years ago.

[@jackycheung919]

Exactly, that’s Barenia, one of the two famous and treasured heritage leathers of the Maison. I think you could do better at the leather appointment after you have learnt more about the products. If one has no decent spending history in Paris, and simply get lucky enough to get a leather appointment online, she has to do really well at the appointment to impress and charm the SA to get offered a quota bag, all the stars have to aline to make it happen. They still look at the spending history, so when you have secured a leather appointment online, you should spend in the store first to build up a profile and a decent spending history before you walk into the leather appointment, it would really increase the chance of you getting offered a quota bag. Please don’t sound like they owe you or are bound to offer you a quota bag, they are not. Hope you will get lucky and do better at your future leather appointments.

[@CinnamonYoghurt]

Honest reviews are always appreciated! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@anabella05]

Sevres is my home store in Paris. I don’t live in Paris, but visit 3-4 times a year. Basically you need a good SA there that you consistently shop with and pretty decent purchase history. I got a Birkin 25 last week and have gotten a mini kelly and special order at that store also. I have also had appointments there where I didn’t receive any quota bags. There are No guarantees, but that’s my experience and advice!

[@KC-ox1cc]

I’m glad that you were honest to the SA and showed him your disappointment. Good thing that you didn’t sugar coat anything and pretended that you were over the moon to get a Mini Evelyn. 😢 I agree that they should not give out leather appointments if there’s zero stock… what a waste of time.

[@kit6328]

In my humble opinion, even with a leather appt if you did not get what you there for, don't buy anything at all.

[@aggie092]

I had pretty the same experience at Sevres back in February. I booked a flight and I was told no B/K/C xD my SA was super rude, didn’t even ask what I wanted, she just said that they don’t have bags but brought me picotin 🙈 Btw when I was waiting for my appointment, I’ve seen that some people were taken to vip rooms and Ive seen an SA carrying a box with a kelly (there was a sticker on the box facing me) 😆

[@katemiller7874]

They train their employees to lie. Terrible

[@marzenam5622]

If they don't want your money don't beg them then 😑

Hi Aika, can you film the bags you do not use anymore? I wonder if you still use your Bottega Veneta cassette bag for example

[@lisasikorski5431]

Your video is a breathe of fresh air -- thank you! I had a very similar experience last week at the Faubourg store so I 100% understand your feeling of disappointment. I have never made a KZbin video before but seriously considering filming one to share my experience as I think there needs to be more videos like this so others can see the full picture. A leather appointment does not mean you will be offered a B/K/C!

[@VickyW-r9z]

I got an appointment at 6pm, I wasn’t offered anything and couldn’t even wait to look around as we had another reservation and had to collect my children. They were amazing there but in the 3 days I was there I didn’t see anyone being offered anything. I really don’t know if they are just not offering anymore without a pre spend but yes I only see hundreds claiming they walk in and got a bag in 10mins. Hope you’re successful another time. I was offered 2 clutches that were incredible but really wasn’t what I wanted. Xxxx

[@ibrahimlol485]

I had a similar issue. I got an appointment on November 16 at sevres, I was so excited, only to get offered mini bolide, geta and 24/24. I was served by a tall individual called Alexander, he was rude and condescending towards me and my Muslim mother wearing her hijab, definitely racist. Super disappointed

[@blackdragon482]

There are many many videos of individuals with approved leather appointments who were not offered B,K, or C's- but perhaps they have not turned up on your algorithm. 15 leather appointments a day does not mean 15 BKCs waltz out the front door 300+ days a year. Leather means leather, so very glad you modified your expectations.

[@elenakeimakh1942]

So sorry for your experience. I tried this summer as well without any success. I brought home exactly the same bag, but mine was purchased at Nice without any appointment. I just asked for it and it was there. But when I came back to Canada, my SA offered me the most beautiful Constance 18. I had to choose between 5 different colours! Really, from now on I stick with my local boutique.

[@KC-ox1cc]

May I ask what your pre-spend was to get offered the C18 in Canada? I’m from Canada as well and thinking of starting my journey locally. Is the C18 considered a quota bag here in CAN? Thanks. 😊

[@elenakeimakh1942]

⁠@@KC-ox1ccmy pre spend for C18 was 1:1. Before that I got B25, and ratio was 1:1.5 . I think it’s very reasonable and we are lucky in Canada it’s not that difficult. You also have to keep in mind we can only purchase 2 bags a year and it has to be 6 months in between purchases.

[@elenakeimakh1942]

@@KC-ox1ccoh yes Constance is a quota bag in Canada

[@KC-ox1cc]

@@elenakeimakh1942 Thanks for your reply. Interesting that you’re saying that it’s not difficult to score a quota bag in Canada as I’ve always heard the opposite, due to Canadian boutiques always having low inventory. May I ask which city you’re in?

[@annle9671]

⁠@@KC-ox1ccI don’t know where she live but certainly not Vancouver ,where I live.Here the ratio is 4 to 1 for a quota bag.

[@Khfdbnimmuvh]

Getting an appointment doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to get B or K though 😅

[@Rattiya55]

Exactly!!

[@lisasikorski5431]

No, it doesn't but because there are so many KZbin videos out there where appointment results in K or B, the perception is definitely skewed.

[@jonnyfendi2003]

@@lisasikorski5431 its because of the clients image though. Hermes isn't just gonna sell to anyone. Same as going to the hottest club in town, you think the doorman is letting everyone in who shows up??? No.

[@Perfectgirl-un8mo]

I can feel the frustration 😂😂😂😂😂 babe social media is a lie. I know according to KZbin its so easy to get a bag in Paris. 😂😅 I am Sorry this happened to you tho. It will be fine. You’ll get everything you want!❤

[@tingeling5663]

I think your bag is super cute❤But I really understand your disappointment. If you got a Constance at least it would be worth the trip. So sorry😢

[@ThaSweetHart]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 at 9:56! That is literally how they sound, too. Hermes just loves wasting peoples time. 🙄

[@azitanaseri2135]

Cracked me up the imitation was spot on 😂😂😂

[@wendymartin6479]

Get yourself a private shopper. You will be amazed how they can get you exactly what you want. They do have bags, they just don't want to sell it to you. If they have nothing at all, then why are they open daily - for what purpose?

[@Rose-qr4xn]

There are so many available on the pre loved market. I would not waste my time going to Paris to get treated like a scumbag.

[@allsmilestray]

So sorry you had this experience. I’ve been applying for leather appointments too from Portugal and haven’t gotten one yet. I was going to fly my daughter and I there for the appointment, but I not sure I would now. Did you have a profile at the Paris location or any prespend in Paris? Just curious if there were any other factors affecting your offer, but it honestly just feels like bad luck. How would they have known they weren’t going to get their normal shipment in?

[@brandyrobinson9014]

I agree complete BS😒 if they know they don’t have any bags in stock they shouldn’t accept leather appointments… I feel they do that so people will buy anything they have in there. Thx for the info. Glad your aunt will get her dream bag and you got an awesome bag as well anyway 🖤

[@paripatang9403]

He offered you a bag in Barenia, which is very hard to come by. While I understand your disappointment, an appointment does not guarantee you anything at all. It does seem that you feel entitled to a quota bag and with Hermes if you're not fond of their products then it's better to go reseller route

[@pikapikapikachu6679]

I'm pretty sure that they have the Bs and Ks hidden somewhere in their shop. But since SAs don't earn any commission by offering you either a Birkin or a Kelly, of course he's going to persuade you to buy other non-Birkin items.

[@miradonfbd]

The black bag is cute, and you will make your aunt very happy. You have so much, it’s difficult to feel sorry.

[@joyLoveC]

Aww… I feel you. I’d be very sad, too. In Nov, I went all the way from Singapore to Paris, stayed a week, tried to get an appointment every day, but was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, getting an appointment doesn’t guarantee a B or K. That’s why they call it a “leather” appointment. I couldn’t even buy other bags, and I mean non-quota bags 😕. Congrats on finding the Mini Jypsiere online. She’s very pretty 😍

[@nvdolcevita1717]

How much was Mini Jypsiere in Hermes store?

[@aie.p]

That’s kinda sad and rude of the SA… but well, the jypsiere is really cool and chic too.

[@tereza5211]

Buy quality not social status from brands 😉

[@gbaca07]

I don't get all the hype? Why did you get it, if you didn't want it?

[@pinksocks115]

there is a lot of survivor bias here. MANY people who get paris appointments dont get their desired B/K either. people only post if they get something! plus thjese videos get a lot of clicks -- so people like to post about their "lucky" scores... there's also some people glossing over important details. they actually have pre-spending history or a long term SA in paris. and thats why they get the bags

[@Caymans1313]

I’m hoping you have figured out that you were lied to? Of course they had some bags put away/aside. They just weren’t willing to sell one to you. Extremely typical.

[@jackycheung919]

Exactly, they just wouldn’t and couldn’t say it to your face that sorry mam, we have stocks behind but unfortunately you didn’t do well this time, so we are not going to offer to you a quota bag.

[@katyaplay85]

Most likely you’ve got a narcissistic consultant who is envious and gets pleasure giving rejections to wealthy people

[@paripatang9403]

There is never a guarantee for anything just because you got an appointment. I think you're making this personal unnecessarily.

[@mllyxx]

At least you got something. don’t complain

[@Purse.911]

The mini Evelyn is ok. I think your best score was the mini jipsiere. Which is more difficult to get. I think going to paris like that was a little too impulsive for a bag. Hopefully next time you will be in person and works better for you

[@jaks_bag_attack]

New sub, that mini is beautiful!

[@miriamha970]

You should return that Evelyn and get a credit for something you really want. You deserve way way better. Hermes was just having a down day.

[@ng4u2]

Her aunt will buy the bag, she was looking for the same bag

[@hmoobmama]

He just didn’t like you. Maybe by the way you looked. Or by the way you guys connected. There is no such thing as scarcity. I will never play the Hermes game. It’s so dumb.

[@the_brunette_closet6262]

I understand you had high expectations and are now disappointed but Paris is not overrated :) Plenty of people get their dream bag there while they cant cope with the hermes game and high spend obligation at home store :) I got 2 appointments in 2023 in 3months time a got 2 QB (B30, K28) :)

Ridiculous,you are spending money on traveling, food,being degraded, for a bag? Why do this? Change your way of thinking,this isn't healthy. The bag is not worth begging for anything,it's a material object.Why trade your emotions this way,little pay off when you're older,you will understand that this is damaging to your self being. Degrading in my mind for youbto let a company to insult and control you,it is a form of control over your precious mind set. Really a nanny? I'm describing, don't want to see anymore of this.

Omg Aika! That’s exactly what happened to me (twice!!) when I got my 🍊 appointments 😢 I was so “over the moon” traveled to go there for this freaking appointment, hoping and dreaming to score a K and guess what? They could only offer me a mini Evelyne 😂 the second appointment the SA told me you came at the right time we have stock and the when I told her my wishlist she came back empty handed… and the store was empty 🫠😭 ai was fooled by the many successful videos on YT of people scoring bags!! It’s not 100% true… You have higher chances to NOT score anything instead of scoring one … what a disappointment!! Also at my first ever appointment the SA offered me her email and told me… when you come back I can help you out again… guess what? She never replied to my email 😭🫠
