A TPF Meetup leads to a Reveal

Gorgeous! Such a great colour

Thank you - I can't believe I scored this color.

What a wonderful story and heartiest congrats on your beautiful, stunning bag Jy! Totally gorgeous combination! Worth being on a ban for too!

Thank you and I agree that the ban is well worth it

Happy early birthday! Gorgeous bag, enjoy it! Sounds like you ladies have a fun tpf group.

Thank you! I'm a fairly new member but all the NYC meet ups have been nothing short of amazing!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your wonderful story! She is perfect. :smile:
I believe she's Togo and what beautiful veins too!

Thank you cr1stalangel! I thought she might have been togo but wasn't 100% sure. I'm loving the veins :smile:

Congrats! Wear it in good health!

Thank you so very much!
 
This is the latest and greatest queen of H. Congratulations! Do you mind me asking how much it was? I'm sorry if there are rules against asking about pricing in the forum. I'm planning to break my piggy bank for this kind of juicy color B35 (if I'm offered one of course).
 
what a happy, happy story!!! congrats! i'm sure it's togo. it's my favourite leather out of all H leathers - velvety soft but isn't too slouchy. and the lovely lovely veins!!! but that's where my love for veins end....

so happy for you!!!!
 
I'm so excited to share this story with all of you. It's long and I'm excited so bear with me!



Our NYC meet up was this past Tuesday arranged by the lovely VigeeLebrun & Ferrip. I met up with old friends (arabesques, lilneko69, ferrip), celebrated a birthday (ferrip), and met some new friends (hermesnuttynut, kittys, lulilu, lamborghinigirl).



During lunch, I mentioned that I wanted to treat myself to my first new bag for an upcoming big birthday. I wasn't sure how to score the bag I wanted since I shop from different SA's and I haven't really "met a quota" with any of them. Everyone at the table was giving me helpful hints and offered to help in any way possible.



After a scrumptious lunch followed by chocolate molten cake, the crew headed to Hermes Madison. We all met up with our various SA's and engaged in conversation. Lamborghinigirl was helping me pick out a Victoria which was a lovely Turquoise color but not the color I was looking for. My SA told me that they had new stock coming in and if I could come back tomorrow, he may have a bag in the color I was interested in. I was originally fixated on BE (not available) but the lovely tpf'ers reminded me that Anemone was also a great option.



Next day, I head back to the store and am escorted into a room. At this point, I'm confused as to why I'm sitting behind glass doors to be presented with a Victoria. My SA comes out with a big box and proceeds to present me with a 35 Birkin w/GHW!!! I was utterly speechless. After I found my voice, I asked him "Are you sure this is for me?" His reply was that he wanted to surprise me because I come in all the time, am pleasant to everyone, show a genuine interest in the brand and have always asked to see other bags and never a B or a K.



I truly believe that my tpf friends gave me some much needed luck and I would not have been offered the bag had it not been for going to H on that fateful day with them. Without further adieu, here she is......not sure what leather it is, but I'm soooo excited and happy! Sorry for the long post.


What a fabulous Birkin and an even better memory to cherish with it!
