Great haul. I'm going to south of France next year. Does Hermes allow for appts in canne? Love the chanel mini. My medium flap is also in yellow. Love it

Try having your hotel make you an appointment! I had our hotel make us an appointment at the st. tropez location and was offered A BAG, just not a birkin or mini kelly

@ oh wow. Great tip! I'm gonna try that!

How much did you save ? Like how much are those last Hermes sandals in Europe compared to the states ?

[@Beccabogle]

Oran sandals: 595 euros before the tax refund (vat) Chypre: 710 euros before the tax refund (vat) and then I will get 12%-18% refunded as a tax refund to my cc

[@Beccabogle]

roughly $150 in savings on each item before the tax refund

Did you have to declare anything when coming back home? I visited Paris a few years ago and did some shopping and had to pay US customs and it was not a pleasant experience and I am planning to go back to Paris this fall and just do not want to experience that again when coming back home.

@@P1nkBarbie1 we didn’t have to declare anything , I think a new system, not sure they didn’t even give us forms to fill out when we landed back in Chicago

[@P1nkBarbie1]

@@Beccabogle oo wow lucky thanks, I did not fill anything out but when they scanned my passport coming home to NY they knew I purchased something and stopped me

@@P1nkBarbie1so strange! Maybe this time you won’t have that experience
