a friend of mine bought a 30cm violet chevre GH birkin last month at NY hermes, so i guess chevre is still available??
From what I saw on the offerings during the last few go-arounds -- 'violet' was available only in mysore in the U.S. and in limited quantities, so your friend is so lucky to have found such a beautiful piece, pbc, . But, I am sure she knows that everytime she looks at it.
From what I saw on the leather availability list, during the last Podium ordering (this Feb.) there was only Chevre de Coromandel Souple offered in limited supply for Special Orders within the U.S. It can be difficult to discern the difference between CdC and CdC Souple from afar, but up close the Souple seems to have slightly larger grains and of course bends...
This information is, of course, only from my limited experience and others may have differing accounts .
Sac Mallette is SO only. This is one I would fly to Paris to SO. Apparently, the logistics of carrying out a SO is much more difficult from a store outside of France and being an older style, your chances of getting one are better if you go to the source.i don't know where to place this...
i noe H bags like masai, trim, plume, bolide, constance; u can still get them from H stores.
can i order older hermes bag styles or do i have to buy from resellers?
i'm interested in the Sac En Mallette? (if i can order, i want in white & braise).
Anyone can help me?:s

Easier than anywhere else in the world. Another SA, not my regular one, recommended I fly to Paris for SO's if I don't have any luck with the NYC store. Apparently, it is a PITA to handle SOs from around the world. A lot of phone calls have to be made back and forth between Paris and the satellite store to accomplish this.HG and Gina, how hard is it to place a SO in Paris? I'll be there for a couple of weeks this summer and would love to SO a 30 chevre black w/ GH.
Of course you don't do that at any Hermes store. But at FSH, PFers have come in for the first time and had a look around, tried on bags and talked a bit with their SAs and then if the bag they wanted wasn't on hand, they asked to place an order. Don't worry, there isn't some secret handshake or anything.
