I saw a pair of men's Saint Laurent sunglasses (SL 51T) I liked on Nordstrom.com during the summer. Since I had a trip planned Oktoberfest in Munich, I decided to reach out to the Munich store for its availability. Vishan responded back that the store had a pair and will hold it for a month until my arrival.
Fast forward to the Monday after the opening weekend of Oktoberfest. I could barely get myself out my hotel room in the afternoon, let alone wait 45 minutes at Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap for their Kebap. After my snack, I walked through the Marienplatz + Viktualienmarkt for another 10 minutes before I arrived at the store.
All the sales associates were busy with customers however security and one of the associates acknowledged me when I walked in. I walked around the store for 10 minutes before a sales associate was free. One of the sales associate tried looking for my shades however was not able to located it. Then Vishan who I was in contact with back in August greeted me and looked in the stockroom for the sunglasses. He wasn't able to locate the specific sunglasses however he was able to to show me another option that was 100 euros less and fitted since I have a wide head. He then offered me a water which he probably saw I needed after the weekend. I was hoping to be offered champagne like the Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris however I think it was a good thing.
Vishan was patient while I tried the other colors of that sunglasses. With his consultation, I ended up with the SL28 metal. He processed my sale and also did the necessary paperwork along with giving me a pass for the Global Blue lounge down the block. I had a good experience at the store and was able to save some a hundred euro or two for a pair of quality sunglasses. read more
