So yesterday I went to Hermès to write down with my SA my order for a Thalassa blue Birkin...Only I told her that I've changed my mind and I want to focus on a brown Birkin first...I've also changed my mind from Clemence (I already have it in black and I want a lighter leather and a smooth one) so I suggested box or Chevre. I'm already waitlisted for a Kelly in chocolat box pall/H. She opened a showcase and took out a Bolide 1923 (by the way, I love that bag!) Marron Foncè Swift...Well, I was speechless...I had never considered Swift, in fact I didn't like it, but it was smooth like box, matte not shiny, which I like on a Birkin, and above all, sooooo soft like Clemence, since I'm a soft/slouchy leather girl, it was love at first sight...!LOL
So I said I wanted a Birkin in that color/leather combo. She fetched the order list of the bags arriving in the autumn, and guess what? there were two 35's in that color/leather, one with pall/H and the other with gold...and.....incredible but true, neither were preordered!!! So she immediately put my name on the pall/H one, and said it will arrive any time between August and December....As easy as that!!!
It's not finished; I told her I would have prefered the brown box Kelly with gold H, so we wrote the order for the manager to take to Paris for a 35 souple chocolate box Kelly gold/H....but she said she will nevertheless leave my name on the one arriving with pall/H, so that I can see it and decide then and there...She is the sweetest SA ever...!! I walked out of Hermès a happy woman...
