I finally had the courage to into my local Hermes boutique yesterday. I was very nervous because the last time i was there was many years ago and I was treated very badly. So I decided to walk in i felt at ease as soon i i walked in the store. I am 17 and have been saving for a birkin for many years, but when I saw the Lindy I completly changed my mind. I had a great SA who showed me the exact Lindy I wanted he even went back and got the perfect one. I was high on Hermes when he broughtout that perfect big orange box I was in love. I was in heaven. My mother who thinks I am Hermes drunk even like the Lindy too. She always said the Birkin was too mature for me and the Lindy she said it was classy,casual, and age appropiatte. My mother isnt a big Hermes fan she only wears Ferragamo and it meant alot to me that she loved the Lindy as Much as I did. I have been desperte for a new bag and I was getting pretty annoyed that no matter how much i saved i never had enough for the birkin, but all the other bags I saw i didnt love! But the Lindy I more than love it. I am going to be getting it in 30cm black ghw in clamence. I am giving it to myself on my 18th birthday which is in 87 days!!!! I cannot wait. Plus the SA was amazing!!! i am really excited to have found the one!!
