Hello, I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced the NYC stores being out of mini birkins/kellys due to the pandemic (inability to get stock from Paris..)? Wondering if reaching out to Boston may be next best bet?
There's definitely inventory but as @acrowcounted mentioned, these items are harder to come by and are set aside for more established, long-term clients. That said, I shop in NY and got two Birkin 25s in an eight month period, three months between bag #1 and bag #2. Many offers in between that I didn't take though, which are testament to their availability, as I only have 25s and Minis on my list. In short, yes, they are out there.
I would pick an SA you want to work with and build your profile, otherwise explore the reseller route if you want a bag and only a bag. Good luck
