Finally, as I was about to give up all hope, my phone rang while I was debating possibly climbing out of the slowly moving bus and walking the rest of the damn way there.
The manager called, and asked which bag I was looking to reserve, as head office didn't actually specify the item...
Fan-frickin-tastic... when I told her what I was after, she hemmed and hawed, saying she wasn't sure whether they even had the bag anymore. I swear, a part of me died that second!
After an interminably long time being put on hold, she finally got back to me, and told me yes we do have the bag, and she would put it on hold for me!
Success!!! I kept asking to make sure they would put it aside, as my friend had a bad experience where the bag she put on hold had been sold to someone else, but the manager assured me she personally put it aside to avoid any confusion.
Finally, when I managed to get off the bus, I pretty much ran to the store, to pick up my long awaited purchase!
I'm sorry to keep all of you waiting, but you can imagine what the wait did to me! Presenting my new Pochette Metis in Monogram Reverse!
I am absolutely over the moon with this purchase. It is spectacular in real life and so so beautiful!
I cannot wait to wear this out ASAP this weekend!
