I initially wanted to post this in the Paris thread but also wanted to share my shopping experience at Barcelona, so I decided to start a thread for the first time. Thanks in advance for reading my posts, it's going to be a long one as I hope others can benefit from my experience.
Landed in Barcelona last Friday and didn't intend to visit any Hermes store as I already planned to visit FSH the following week but chanced upon the store along Passeig de Gracia and DH knudged me to pop in.
I met a friendly SA who explained from the onset that they don't offer B or K to tourists. I told her I was looking for a C and she said they didn't have any available. Then I asked if there's any tpm Evelyn in a neutral colour and she said she's pretty sure they didn't receive any mini but would check. We were served with drinks while we waited. The SA emerged with a small box and then offered me this little cutie. The colour of the bag is in the new beige weimar and comes with the sweet rose/blue zigzag strap. I was smitten by it and took her home immediately.

and I guessed from the size of the box it could be a C18. As she unboxed the package, she started saying "I'm not sure if you'd like the box leather...". I couldn't believe my ears because I only gave her some colour specs like gris, etain and if red, only rogue h, I didn't specify the leather. I couldn't believe my eyes when she unveiled this beauty in front of me and I squealed in delight....I never dreamt that I could score a brand new box leather H as I thought I could only get a vintage one. The icing on the cake is the colour. I fell in love with rouge h after seeing an antique Hermes pocket watch during their exhibition. To express my gratitude to this kind SA, I decided to purchase a couple of non bag items from her.
and a parting shot of my new etain K25 sellier ghw against the wintry sky in the cottage we stayed in Normandy.
