What is the Hermès Wishlist Process in the UK?

The Hermès Wishlist system used in the United Kingdom and parts of Asia is an intriguing twist on the Hermès methods employed in boutiques in the US and other countries. Several community members living in the UK have shared their personal experience with the Wishlist program. There still seems to be some differing opinions on the inner workings of the program, but overall it appears to reward brand loyalty without an expectation of a large expenditure of money.

How Do I Show My Hermès SA Appreciation?

Our Hermès SA’s work hard each and every day for all their clients trying to fulfill their wishlists. Despite the Pandemic, worldwide shutdowns, scarcity of materials, exceedingly low inventory, and a surge in demand for all Hermès products including quota bags, our SA’s respond to our texts, hunt down inventory, give us their undivided attention while shopping, and do their best to make us happy.
