    Hi

    These online website purchases do deliveries all over the world?

    1. Diane Marz says:

      Hello Lilian Yee,

      Yes, Hermes has locations worldwide. You would have to make sure you are shopping on your countries website. For example, You cannot purchase from the French website and have it shipped to the US. You’d have to purchase from the US website to ship to the US

      Hope that helps,

  3. Where do you have info on how to purchase Birkin, Kelly and Constance online?

  4. Debbie de Leon says:

    I am currently in Paris and have been to 3 Hermes Stores. As my time is limited, no appointments are made as I read somewhere that you can buy a Picotin Bag, out of a Qouta bag without an appointment or you can walk straight into a Hermes Store and buy one. To avoid disappointment, and not waste your time request an appointment online (to buy any bags) the day before you visit the store.

    1. Diane Marz says:

      Hello Debbie,

      I would try your luck walking into a store and requesting a Picotin. If you plan to stay in Paris I would also try the French website and then you can have the Picotin shipped directly to the hotel. Yes I agree the Picotin bag is a relatively easy bag to purchase at the Hermes store.

      Hope that helps,
      Best,

  10. Christina says:

    But isn’t it true that you can only buy online for bags that are in your own country? I thought they don’t ship internationally.

    1. Diane Marz says:

      Hello Christina,

      Thank you for your message! Yes, you are correct, you can only buy online bags that are in your own country. They do not ship internationally.

      However, if you are traveling in Europe you can always have it shipped to your hotel.

      Hope that helps,
      Diane
