Hermès Switzerland: Geneva vs. St. Moritz — Where Would You Try Your Luck?
I’m going to Switzerland in July and would love to hear about recent shopping experiences, especially in Geneva or St. Moritz.
For anyone who has shopped there, what was the overall boutique experience like? Were the SAs welcoming to tourists? I don't have a current SA relationship there.
I’d love insight on:
Geneva vs. St. Moritz: which boutique felt more approachable?
Any success with non-quota bags as a walk-in or tourist?
Any success, or even possibility, with quota bags?
How does the wishlist / appointment process work in Switzerland?
Is St. Moritz worth trying because it is smaller and more seasonal (slow in the summer?) or is Geneva a better bet because it is larger?
I completely understand that Hermès is never guaranteed, and I’m not expecting to walk in and magically be offered a dream bag. I’m just curious what the realistic shopping experience looks like in Switzerland and whether either location is worth prioritizing.
Would love any stories, advice, strategy, or recent intel. Thank you!
