Hi everyone,
This is my first post here
I started my Hermes journey a few years ago, but I didn’t “play the game” meaning I bought in any store without a specific SA
In December, I started to buy with only one SA in my hometown but things didn’t work out. Then I started buying in another city that I go at least 3 times per year, and I finally found a really nice SA. I have started buying with this SA in April. I have spent a total of 20,900 euros with this SA including a picotin and a SO watch. So, I think I have enough pre spend with this SA to ask for my first QB. I would like to gift it to myself as a birthday gift (in November).
I am looking for a Kelly 25, Birkin 25, or Kelly Pochete in Ostrich leather. For a Kelly 25 or a Birkin 25, I was thinking of a grey color, like graphite, or a dark blue color. For the Kelly Pochete could be either gray, dark blue, or any other fun color like rose Sakura
Is it too hard to get? I heard exotics are easier to get and I thought about saying it now so there is plenty of time left until November for the store to receive any of these bags. But I am not 100% sure since I am new.
Also, do you think my color choice is good? What is your favorite color for ostrich leather?
I read online that ostrich leather can get damaged from the oil in the hands. Did this happen to anyone? Is it better to get a darker color for this reason?
Is it ok to ask for it through WhatsApp? Or is it better to ask for it in person?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and sorry for any writing mistake (english is my third language and I don’t practice as much)
