I’m glad it was helpful before I went I felt so in the dark of what to expect so I was hoping to make it a little less of a mystery… Thanks for watching! ❤️Megan

Thank you! And I’ll have to check out some of your content 😁 ❤️Megan

Hi! I share the cost in the unboxing video but you are right about needing to do modshots with this bag. That is a great idea for an upcoming video and I will add it to the queue. Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

I agree it can be so awkward but I do love that once you get an appointment they know what you’re there for 😂😉 Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

They do ask if you want any additional items so I did purchase a twilly during that appointment and a rodeo later while in Paris. I do think they have a wide variety of bag charms there. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

Thank you! The only item I purchased while there in Paris before the handbag was a pair of sneakers. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

I believe you will need access to a cellphone throughout the process so I would recommend having that available in addition to the confirmation email. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️Megan

Hi! From what I understand your kids can come with you to shop but they can not make any purchases under the age of 18. I have a video on the DETAXE process so I would definitely check that one out. Yes you do have to pay taxes coming back into the US but you do save some money by purchasing in France even with paying the taxes here. Hopefully this helps ❤️Megan

Thank you! ❤️Megan

Hi! I was rejected 3 times before getting the appointment. Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

Hi! From the research I have done the likelihood once you get an appointment is pretty high but not 100% , from blogs that I’ve read (which is a very skewed view as we don’t know all who have received appointments and not been successful) I would say the majority of people that got an appointment were able to be successful. Not sure about Canadian stores unfortunately and from what I have recently seen they are attempting to link U.S. stores so that Paris can see. Not sure if that has occurred yet. Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️Megan

10:30 AM to 7:30 PM. I chose to apply pretty much at 10:30 (or as close to it every morning) and then would get a response back the night before the following day. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

I was asking for cancellations prior to getting my appointment for leather goods the day before leaving. I got rejected on the online system up until that point. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

Great question! Mostly I would consider trying to purchase with the stores within the lottery system. Which is FSH, Sevres and George V. Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

Yes! You can make one before getting there I would just suggest that you make it there that morning so there is no risk of missing the appointment . Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

From what I understand London functions like any other store. Meaning, I believe it is very difficult to score a handbag there without purchase history/ building a relationship with an associate at the store. Therefore it may not be the best location to walk into on vacation and be able to get a Birkin or Kelly. Paris is known for being one of the rare places where if you are able to get an appointment there is the opportunity for a handbag as well. I hope this is helpful. And I wish you the best of luck in London. Please let us know if you find out something differently while you are there. Thanks for watching! ❤️Megan

Usually there is a response but it may come a bit later if the appointment wasn’t scheduled. Hope this helps and good luck on your trip! ❤️Megan

Thank you! And I feel bag peace is a bit closer but I just love my Birkin so much I really feel like I may aim for a Kelly next! All in all though so thankful that I had a chance to get this one so if the Kelly doesn’t happen that would be ok too 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

I visited two of the stores. I purchased the Handbag from the Faubourg store and got my bag charm from the Sevres store . Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

From what I understand the 2 are not connected. Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

Hi! Yes this was my first Hermes bag offered. And all you can do is try! Best advice is plan a trip, try your luck at getting an appointment, and create a “wishlist” of items you would be interested in (including colors and sizes)… you can do this!!! Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️Megan

Thanks for watching! I selected all the locations after the first day of trying and being declined. I feel very lucky to have received an appointment it was literally the day before I left! The only thing I had ever purchased in Paris before the appointment were the shoes on the same trip. I didn’t see any teens in the store and great question. Although I haven’t researched it much on policy for leather appointments and age I would predict that you may have to be older than 21… But not sure on that. Hope these answered your questions Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

I’m 20 and got my appointment (and my bag!) a few days ago, so I would say that you have to be 18 (legal age for everything in France)

How many attempts in entering the lottery before you were successful? Was it the Fsh store? Any tips you can provide in scoring an appt /bag? I’ll be there in April.

@@avatseng8870 so, I’ll try to be concise and answer everything. I’m French but I live in the UK now, and was bringing a friend with me for a week to show her Paris. I only buy luxury items in €, and preferably in my country, so I wanted to take advantage of my holiday there to tick some items of my wishlist. On Monday (my 2nd day in Paris), I purchased a pair of shoes at FSH, and it was actually my very first purchase in store (I created my client account on that day). I wanted a Picotin and randomly asked if by any chance I could try on one, but the SA (not very friendly btw, I didn’t feel the vibe) told me that for any bag (no matter if it’s not a BKC) you have to get an leather appointment. I kinda already knew it, but wanted to play the naive girl, just in case. Anyway, my shoes purchase was also a way to “trigger” the algorithm, as I heard that it might help to at least have an account and/or a purchase history to get an appointment. I applied everyday during 6 days (except one, during which I wasn’t downtown), so 5 times in total, and it was unsuccessful 5 times. Everytime I ticked “no preference” for the store, because I thought it would maximise my chances. I was leaving on Saturday, so the last time I asked for the appointment was on Thursday. And at 8pm, I received the text announcing that my appointment was at 5pm on Friday, in the Sèvres store (that I had never been to)! So I was reaaally lucky because it was the last afternoon I was spending in Paris, and I was available at that time. The appointment went smoothly with a lovely SA who was surprised that I “just” wanted a Picotin when I could’ve asked for a Mini Kelly haha, but she really tried to get me one of the combinations of colours I wanted and I ended up with a lovely Picotin 18 Lime with PHD. On the table near mine, a woman was trying Birkins and Kelly in neutral colours, so it looked like they had a nice stock on that day (I also was offered different bags, some with very rare leathers and colours). I would say that mid-January is also a perfect moment to buy, because it’s before the fashion week and 2/3 weeks after the high demand of Christmas holidays (I guess they had received new bags a few days before). Hope I answered your questions!

Great question… From what I have researched this should not hurt your chances and some people have even said sales associates will compliment other designer bags. I would suggest though if you have an Hermes bracelet or scarf etc. I would wear that along as well. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

Would you say it’s looked upon more favorably if you carry an Hermes bag if you have one?

Yes! I will plan to do a detax video coming up in the next couple of weeks and I can get the exact numbers for the items and I’ll share all of that 😊 ❤️Megan

@@theyouinfashion waiting for this video.probably going to be amazing as usual

rendezvousparis.hermes.com/client/register : This is the website and it can only be accessed by smart phones according to the website Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

I would say on average to plan for about an hour . Thanks for watching ❤️Megan

I’m so sorry for the late response. How did your appointment go?! I discussed pricing in the unboxing video if you want to check that one out 😊 ❤️Megan

I would say around 8:30 pm that night, Typically I believe most acceptance for appointments I’ve heard will come before 9pm the evening before

My husband did not end up coming unfortunately because we were just getting back from London. However I saw plenty of spouses there with their partners. As long as you have the appointment and come with your passport and pay for the bag , your partner being there should not be a problem at all. Hope this helps ❤️Megan

Oh great perspective! That completely makes sense. Thanks for the comment ❤️Megan

😂 I know it all seems a little over the top but when luxury handbags are something you love it all seems to be worth it. I also understand those who choose not to do all of this and go the pre-loved route which I also completely understand Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️Megan
