My SA said the 24/24 minis are made in a rainbow of colors (well, about 8 colors- incl. touch combos), but Asia is getting the variety. The US seems to like gold bags, so that’s what we’re getting. My SA has seen one blue mini, too.Interesting .. it may be my store in particular, and it being a popular color. I haven't been offered anything in gold (non quota bags).
Could it be that they didn't request or have a requested allocation for that color? I'm unsure of how that works..
I see quite a few gold bags online. I like to browse the Hermès website for other countries, to see their offers. Europe and Asia get better (and more colorful) bags (and not so many straps).
I thought I would see more minis on resale sites, but my SA said, right now, the mini is almost as difficult to get as a Kelly or Birkin, so I won’t see many elsewhere. I hope the mini 24/24, GP, and smaller Bolide manufacturing amp-up soon.
