Dear PurseBop: How Many Hermès Non-Quota Bags Can You Purchase During One Leather Appointment in Paris?

Shopping at Hermès at one of the three boutiques in Paris is exciting and unpredictable. So may factors affect whether a person is granted a leather appointment (either online or a walk-in). Some of those factors are the time of year, time of day, number of requests so far that day, availability of stock, and more.

Complicating the situation even more is wondering if there is a possibility of being offered more than one bag during the appointment. One bag is a bonus for sure. A second bag may have to do with relationship with the SA and good old fashion luck.

Dear Pursebop reveals all the information known to date here.
