I thanked the nice SA and she asked me to drop by the following day because they usually receive additional delivery in the weekend during X'mas period.

After lunch at La Bouqueria market, we took a stroll back to our hotel and popped by the shop again. The same SA greeted me immediately and told me that she'd check the inventory. After a 10min wait, she emerged with a small box but this time, led me to a dressing room. My heart started racing :hbeat: and I guessed from the size of the box it could be a C18. As she unboxed the package, she started saying "I'm not sure if you'd like the box leather...". I couldn't believe my ears because I only gave her some colour specs like gris, etain and if red, only rogue h, I didn't specify the leather. I couldn't believe my eyes when she unveiled this beauty in front of me and I squealed in delight....I never dreamt that I could score a brand new box leather H as I thought I could only get a vintage one. The icing on the cake is the colour. I fell in love with rouge h after seeing an antique Hermes pocket watch during their exhibition. To express my gratitude to this kind SA, I decided to purchase a couple of non bag items from her.
Absolutely stunning!!
 
Wow, all great pieces and a lovely telling of your journey - thank you!
Well done on calling out the impact of the strikes to residents of Paris - many have had hours cut, missed family and in some cases cannot work at all due to lack of day care etc.

But I have to say that box rouge 18 C - WOW! Enjoy
 
What amazing stories and reveals! So happy you got exactly what was on your wishlist. A very happy holiday indeed! Congratulations!

Thank you :heart:

Thank you :heart:. I saw a mob of locals trying to get into a public bus at St Lazare (cos the operation was limited to once or twice a day), causing quite a commotion. Praying that the country will reach a peaceful resolution soon.
I'm grateful that our family holiday was safe and undisrupted although we made some changes like picking up & dropping off the car from Rouen instead of Paris to avoid the massive jams in Paris, riding a shuttle from Paris Vision City ( near the Louvre) to Eurodisney because the RER operating hours were limited. Those going there may want to take note.

Lovely bags and story behind it. The joy is always when we get what we want when we least expect it! I am so happy for you.. and I just added that bag to my (mental) wishlist lol

Thank you and the experience at Barcelona was indeed a pleasant surprise. May your wish come true too ;)
