Have I had a saga to get that Anémone band, or what.

A couple of weeks ago I had tracked one down to Las Vegas, and the Hermès store manager says to me: “normally, we don’t sell to people with whom we have no relationship, but it’s just a watch band. I mean, it’s not JUST a watch band.” He then said he would set it up and sell it to me. Anyway, he never did and in fact ignored my further calls. Really rude!

So anyway, I tracked the band to the Thai Hermès store, and ended up purchasing both Anémone and Rouge Piment single tour. They are marked as shipped and have since been removed from the Thai online store.

What a saga! Yeesh.
That type of behavior isn't uncommon with sales associates of certain luxury brands. The same type of nonsense is going on with Rolex AD's, too.

That’s awful, the UK Hermes customer adviser couldn’t have been nicer and when I got my order sent from the London store I got perfume and lipstick samples too, then when I got in touch to say one of the boxes had a wee scuff they sent out another and a generous helping of samples again. Sorry to hear of your experience, it’s worse because these arent cheap items and it’s not like you go go elsewhere for them.
 
Watch didn’t have the Rose Mexico face and was set to not-American English…

Not a single person in my life who will care about this as much as y’all.

Seems to share the same stitching with the bands and their other leather goods. Finish is fantastic. It’s 80% nylon and 20% polyester, so it should hold up well. It has the most comfortable bill I’ve ever felt in a hat.

And it’s reversible!

I’ve taken a photo next to my lululemon hat because I think the difference in stitching is pretty obvious.

Wow, it beautyful :D
 
Also from my Specialist today when I went to get my repaired homepod…for any of you 40mm folk that may know an employee.

There are some Hermes deals on the Employee Deals storefront rn. I’ve seen the numbers and they are LOW.
 
Do you guys have any places outside of eBay that you recommend selling Hermès bands? I have a new 44mm Fauve Barénia Leather Attelage Single Tour Band in brown that I purchased with a new Hermès watch that I wasn’t going to wear and wanted to sell it.

Poshmark, the Real Real, Fashionphile. You gotta go for high-end fashion resellers
 
Well, I finally got the bands from Hermès Thailand: Rouge Piment and Anémone. I also attached Jaune Ambre as well, which I acquired elsewhere.
Glad you finally got them, your pic just reminded me how lovely they are and the Jaune is gorgeous, I swithered getting it as I didn't think it would suit my skin tone.
I've not worn any of my mine since they arrived yet as been too warm here
 
I would love it if they made a simple black leather band with silver stainless steel available for both sizes. 😏
