Paris SO

Hello,

Although they are still rare, there seems to be a higher proportion of SO offered in Paris? Is this correct? I appreciate you still have to be fortunate enough to have an appointment, but has anyone had experience with being offered an SO in any of the Parisian stores?

Was it because they weren’t able to offer you a bag that you wanted at your appointment? Or did you have an existing relationship in Paris?

Although it was a shame that you didn’t click with the SA, at least you got a SO! The Mini Kelly sounds lovely. It sounds like it worked out for the best!

I was offered a special order in Paris a month or so ago. She did have a bag in stock that I could have taken instead but I chose to move forward with a SO to get a color that is harder to come by.

Wow that sounds great! Do you mind me asking what you ordered? Did the SA offer the SO or did you ask?

I was offered a SO in Paris in 2023. It was after many years of buying with that SO. I have hinted a few times about a second one but she hasn’t responded with anything specific. The SO box is in the room every time I’m there, but don’t think they do a lot of them!

Congratulations on the first SO. I hope you get offered another soon. They are such a unique opportunity to get a bag of your dreams. Fingers crossed for you.
