Can I Start a New Hermès Profile Under My Name in Paris if My Profile at my Home Store is Under My Husband's Name?

Dear PurseBop:

I’m fairly certain my Hermès profile is under my husband’s name at my home store. Could I get quota bags in Paris if I put them under my name (we have different last names). I’m heading to Paris again and I’m curious about that and the lottery system. My first quota bag came from FSH without an appointment and I would like to try again. Thanks!

Dear Separate Hermès Profiles:

Since July, 2022 Hermès in Paris started the process of linking profiles with the U.S. and other countries around the world. The purpose of linking profiles is to insure that clients do not receive more than 2 quota bags per year.

If your profile in your home boutique is under your husband’s name you should be able start a new profile under your name in Paris. The profiles will not be linked and you are free to build your profile and try to obtain a leather appointment while in Paris under your name.

Be aware that your spend profile in Paris is always separate and never linked to your profile at your home store. Only the offers of quota bags can be seen is our understanding.

To obtain a leather appointment through the lottery system requires you to apply online the day before the appointment you are requesting. The website to apply online is http://www.redezvousparis.hermes.com/client/welcome. We have received reports that the system may only allow you to apply online while you are physically in France.

Good luck and happy shopping in Paris.
