This Hermès flagship has been around since 1880, back when they made harnesses instead of handbags…read more-- but it's still got serious style. Unlike other Hermès stores where you wait outside like you're trying to get into a nightclub, they actually let us right in. Big, gorgeous two-story space with a café and restrooms tucked in the back. Although a wine bar would've definitely helped to loosened my wallet even more ;) We checked in downstairs (just to the right of the stairs) and waited about 15 minutes before a friendly salesperson helped us. Best part? They actually had the bag my girlfriend wanted -- unlike the wild goose chases in Barcelona and Prague. She was ecstatic, which meant I got a free pass to spontaneously duck into wine bars as we wandered Paris while she sat there drinking coffee and floating on a cloud of Hermès happiness. Win-win. Happy Shopping!!

I went to the Hermès flagship during a two-day stay in Paris last month. The brand is a bit statusy…read more(and expensive) for my taste, but they have a tableware line I've admired for years, and I figured it'd be meaningfully cheaper in France. I wasn't going to go out of my way during such a short visit with my two small children, but when we found ourselves walking past the place on our way to the Christmas markets, I decided to go in for a quick browse. It turned out to be a wonderful stop on our chaotic Christmas-themed mini-tour of France. The store had been transformed into a fancy Christmas destination, with a scavenger hunt that took guests, both children and adults, through several stops within the store, where they played adorable immersive carnival-style games and received stamps in a little book. Once the stamps were all collected, they could be redeemed for a special gift. At first, I was just grateful that my kids had something to do while my friend and I looked at a change tray I'd had my eye on for a few Christmases but had never seen in person. The woman helping me (I think her name was Claude) was gracious and professional. She had me sit, showed me catalogues, and went into the depths of inventory to retrieve the tray I wanted. I ran the numbers and figured I was looking at about a 30% discount with the French price and the tax refund. I bought the change tray and took it home in that distinctive orange box, which I put under the tree as a gift to myself. When I found my children again, they were with my mom in the climactic final stage of the scavenger hunt, a lushly decorated Christmas room with a couple of final games and the prize station: a table where all customers were invited to make their own Christmas ornaments with Hermès store quality ribbons and leather and little bits of hardware. There were sweet attendants who helped my boys, but most of the people claiming these prizes were adults. My kids had an absolute blast, and I got some great photos of them throwing fluffy snowballs at felt Christmas trees and posing in a fake gondola in the shape of an Hermès luggage tag. My five-year-old declared that this was his favorite store, and I tried to get him to memorize "Hermès Saint-Honoré" so we could troll his dad on FaceTime. I was pleased with my purchase, and all of us, children and adults, were impressed and thrilled with this surprise holiday experience. I'll bet we could sell those ornaments for a couple hundred bucks, too, but I'm happier having them on our tree.

High end shopping at its finest…read more To be honest, I wasn't even planning on coming in. I was merely along for my friend's ride. I dropped her off then walked over to the seine to get myself a crepe. I was minding my business when my friend started sending me pics of the bags she was looking at and trying to pick. She mentioned she was a little tipsy then asked me to pull up cos apparently the people were so nice. I finished my crepe and walked over. Unlike when I dropped off my friend and we had to wait outside, I was able to just walk in and tell security I already had an appointment. I found my friend sitting so I headed to her direction. I was immediately given a champagne. Alfa came over with a variety of fanny packs because that's exactly what I wanted. I had previously looked online and picked a couple styles that suited me. I didn't like the choices that were presented so we went to another area where more choices were displayed. I was given another champagne at this point. After some flip flopping, I decided on the style that was completely different from what I originally picked. The payment process was a breeze. After registering to their system, they verify some information then you're led to the corner to handle payment. Alfa walked us out with our bags after fully explaining the tax refund process. He was so nice and thorough and just all around pleasant. What I really appreciated is that they don't rush you. Alfa was very patient with me and not at all pushy. He waited for me to decide on what I wanted which is the same thing that happened to my friend who kept changing her mind. She made a point to tell me how patient he was with her since he kept going back to get more bags. I already know what I want to get next. See you guys in a few months.

I ended up buying what I didn't plan to buy due to the very nice nature of the salesmen. Can't recall his name but recall him saying he's originally from Malaysia.

That was very unfortunate since their prices were super low on some of the cutest clothes I have seen here in Paris. The styles they sell are very typical of what a lot of people are wearing and I could have spent all day in the small store.

But we definitely saved a lot because we are tax-free doing the Vat claim which they can process downstairs and all you have to do is scan it at the airport on your departure day. Overall, great shopping experience!
