Traveling through SFO Airport

I travel a lot and when I get the opportunity to fly through or into San Francisco Airport (SFO) I take it!! The reason why I LOVE to fly into SFO is that they have a Hermes, Gucci and Burberry boutique located in their international terminal. Which means….if you are flying internationally it is tax free! Yes DUTY FREE!

I was very impressed with the Hermes boutique in the international terminal as it is felt like a main boutique in a small town. From fine jewelry to perfumes to clothing to accessories and bags - this boutique has it all. Being located in the airport, I was quite shocked to see the extensive assortment of pieces that they did have available.

As this boutique cannot receive, Birkins or Kelly bags, you can get some H essentials plus some really cool one of pieces that this boutique stocks. I was offered a gorgeous Evelyne TPM bag in two color ways, Etoupe & Jaune. I was surprised that they had any in stock as this is a hard bag to come across. Unfortunately, those were not the colors I was seeking however the price of $1800 USD out the door made them very appealing and very hard to turn down.

I suggest if you want a classic Hermes item, such a Clic H bracelet or some Twillys, this would be a great boutique to score one of these classics. I am always into saving tax or some money in the exchange rate, so this is an added bonus for North America.

Have you purchased anything from an Hermes boutique in an airport? What was your experience?
