Lady Emma, it's not unusual for a discontinued design to just pop up once in a while in the store. There was a bag designed in the 70's and 80's called the Piano bag. A picture can be found in Orchid's thread in the Hermes Reference Library. Well, lo and behold, there was a Piano clutch in NYC just a few weeks ago. J stamp and everything. Is it currently in production? If push came to shove, I would have to say no. This was just a rare instance that Hermes decided to make this one bag. The SAs were just as shocked as I was. And I have been told that the Kelly Elan is SO only. And even then Paris may still turn down your request as it is not a bag in current demand.
