Hi all from Paris...too! Have been here for 2 days and will be for another 2...
Thanks to TT, a regular and kind TFSer with all her good and generous info, I managed to nab my dream bag, and another one too!
The 1st day I arrived, after checking into the hotel, I made a beeline for the mothership store. Tonnes of bags! Tonnes of people! Not only were there tonnes of Bolides, Plumes, Evelyns etc but there were also tonnes of Kellys and Birkins (from the back and shown to Customers upon request)! Although I wasn't looking for a Birkin, I had a good old time observing the Customers and their contemplation of the Birkin/s. There were mostly in 35cm. Leather was predominantly Swift and Togo with Palladium h/w. Sold were Havanne, Blue Jean, Etoupe, Black, Cognac (quite a few too!). These were only within the time I was in the store. When I was at the store again towards closing time, there were more Birkins sold!
As for the Kellys, there were Black Box, Rouge H, Orange, Vert Anis, Etoupe, Cognac and Havanne. There were also one each of Fushcia Ostrich in 25cm palladium h/w and 35cm with Gold h/w (which is now my new baby!!!).
As of closing yesterday, the only Birkin available as indicated in the computer was a 40cm Birkin. And the 30cm black croc with diamond clasp Birkin which was on display.
Btw, I was served by a patient, amidst all that chaos, and kind SA which readily summoned up the list, from the computer, of Kellys and Birkins available, upon my query, without hesitation. Right under my nose! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a bag to try to work with Yuri. She is very kind and gentle with her advise too.
