So while I am waiting I spot a little number that I'd seen before and not been all that crazy about. But WHAM!! this time it called out to me. Was able to get her at a good price so while my Evelyne savings has a big dent in it, I'm still pretty happy. So without further ado, I present my new to me Sac Good News.

valencia! Congratulations on getting your new Sac Good News. I've seen this bag at H Vancouver and I really love it. I think it would be great for guys too if not for the short straps.

Hello everybody!

Hi all

I think I can join the club. I try to save money for my first Birkin or Kelly, but I'm afraid it's going to take a while.
There are a lot of beautiful things out there and sometimes they're hard to resist, especially when it's sale, I really need discipline

The 22th of June I'm in Amsterdam and I want to visit a H. store.
Maybe then I can try a Birkin or a Kelly for the first time if they have any in stock.
And maybe I can have a look in the leather book to see some different colors and leathers IRL.
I'm not sure about the color yet, but a grey Birkin with ghw is a serious option. I also love red and blue jean.
And I also love ostrich, so I guess it's not going to be easy to pick my first H.

welcome to the club

...I know how hard it is to not get side tracked by all the other lovely H stuff! I am not good at saving,lol!

Good luck in Amsterdam, I hope they will have a few bags for you to try...Gris T is a lovely colour! Have you considered etoupe? I have a JPG in etoupe and I love that colour!

Kat

**Chanel** · Jun 13th, 2009, 09:37 AM

^^ Thank you for your welcome Kat

Etoupe is also a lovely color, but I think I prefer Gris T. for me because it's more grey. But I really would love to see the H. leather book maybe I'll find another color that makes my heart sing, you never know, right

Red is one of my favorite colors, so Rouge G. is also a option, but I've also seen this beautiful red Chanel bag and I love it:
09A 81643 red shw jumbo reveal =)

And this 2.55 Moscow

I really love both of them, but I really have to save money for H., but man, this bags are hard to resist for me

yes, RG is gorgeous, I have a Dogon togo in RG....lovely red colour! Gris T is stunning too, and maybe more all year round depending if you care about those things (I personally don´t, LOL).

Forget the Chanel bags

save for the yummy TDF H bag! You can do it....I could, well, kind of sort of,LOL

I know I haven't dropped by this thread as often as I used to (and still I'm the second highest poster LOL), but I just want to congratulate valencia. That was such a sneaky reveal!

ETA: **Chanel**, my dear, save up for the Birkin! Forget the Chanel ones. They're too small to carry anything! j/k

SA's at PC Hoofdstraat are really nice. And when I was there, there was a really cute SA who had his first day that day. _bella_ and I thought he was a customer, because we thought he was just trying on some shirts and ties. Then he put on a coat and stayed there for a long time.

And I must say there's a really gorgeous SA there but he's not gay. I would have introduced myself if he was. Hahaha

**Chanel** · Jun 13th, 2009, 06:38 PM

Kat, well, honestly, if I had a RG, I would carry her all year round, every season

I love red.
And about Chanel, I will never forget Chanel I guess, I love it, but I'm really going to do my best to save money for the Birkin

19th Juli is my Birthday and maybe I can cheat one more time with a Chanel, or maybe at that time I've already ordered a Birkin what makes my Birthday a Happy Birkinday haha lol

But what about you Kat, are you saving for something special at the moment?

Allan, how are you? Are you enjoying your souvenir from Amsterdam?
I really love your stories, I can't wait until you write another story

Too bad for you that the gorgeous SA wasn't gay, but I'm sure you'll find a Mr. Right in the future.

In the meantime I hope I can decide which color for the Birkin it's gonna be. And the size, I'm thinking of a 30 or 35.
Or if it's going to be a ostrich Kelly, a 32.
Sometimes when I can't sleep, I'm thinking and thinking and thinking about my first H., which color, which leather, it's driving me crazy hahaha.
But first, let me visit Amsterdam and I hope that they have a few bags that I can try

Yes. I get a lot of compliments from my friends. But it's kind of uncomfortable sometimes because I wear a lot of tight jeans (see my avatar [sneaky promotion LOL]) and when I get stuff from my pocket, the ring gets in the way because it's too bulky.

I'm going to London in July. I hope.

I'm hope he comes early enough, when I'm still not bitter--literally and figuratively.

It's only normal. It took me half a year to think about which leather and hardware, I'd come up with for my HAC. And I know that I'll be getting a 40 cm beforehand.

Personally, I think the 30 cm is more of a purse, and the 35 is more of a briefcase size (and could get really heavy). But you have to look in the mirror to see which size is good for you.

Amsterdam H, here I come

thanks for the info allan...you know if he´s taken by any chance LOL!!! LOL @ sneaky promotion

allanrvj · Jun 14th, 2009, 05:00 AM

I don't know if he was taken, since I lost interest when _bella_ told me he's not gay.

I've only been to four H stores (FSH, George V, Amsterdam, Copenhagen) and I noticed that if there are male SAs at H, there is at least one that is gorgeous. H Copenhagen is too small for another SA.

lovely64 · Jun 14th, 2009, 05:24 AM

allan, I was of course not expecting you to know if he was taken or singel

I was just trying to be funny!

Kat

allanrvj · Jun 14th, 2009, 05:43 AM

^^ omg, I'm so clueless sometimes! hahahahaha!

LOL, sorry allan...you are so sweet!

How about buying Birkin in London? Is it difficult to find one?

If you're going to London I really hope you'll have a great time, you deserve it

satinchick20: I don't know about that sorry, maybe someone else can answer that question. If you want to go to London, maybe you can call a H. store and ask if they have any in stock, maybe you're lucky
