Birkin Bag Through American Express Concierge?

[uscgirly]

Hi Everyone~

I'm new to the forum but have been browsing various threads throughout the past week. So much info here! What would we do without technology?

Just wanted to know..has anyone gone through a concierge such as American Express to get a Birkin bag?

i dont think amex will go that far they might try to locate and charge but the actual sending is not that viable but again i dont know my amex exec. is wonderfull yet i have never had american express send the actual bag ! but you might be lucky try , best of luck and if anything right here darling. birkel.

okay ~ thanks for the feedback! i'll let you all know..concierge should be calling my husband back for an update sometime soon! fingers crossed

if it works pls let us know. never thought about it

AMEX called him back and said they were able to find one in Europe through a broker but it came with a hefty premium! A little disappointed as this is the concierge for Centurion too~ would think they had more connections than that.

I know this is not the answer to your question but I thought I will share that VERTU concierge do that kind of service, they tell you what is available or they locate the specific bag you want

My understanding is that Amex Centurion cardholder concierge will do this but they will likely source from a reseller such as Createurs de Luxe, not an Hermes store.

I think I heard this 5+ years ago. Does anyone know a person that did this IRL?

vancleef fan: thanks for letting me know...at this rate, i think i'll just have to try my luck at rodeo drive or south coast plaza.. if it's meant to be - then it is. if it isn't, i'll just have to keep looking around!

Or just go directly to a reseller yourself.

AmEx Centurion definitely uses CDL as its bag supplier - I've spoken to their concierge about it.

yup - I've checked this out too. They don't have any special clout at H itself but they do have a network of resellers they go to which means you will have to pay a sizeable premium.

they would im also wity centurion and vuitton or chanel dont even doubt. but hermes will be hermes and i would personally find the bag else where.
