I hope it comes super quickly for you, dear!
Me too! Fingers crossed! I forgot to say I chose brushed Palladium Hardware. I usually wear silver when I wear blue but I have seen many B/K's in Bleu Saphir with gold hardware that look gorgeous too. What do you think? Should I have gone with Brushed GHW?
Hi Chloesam!
You had the exact issue I had last time. Chevre is amazing but the colors are limited, particularly darker ones. Rouge H was not available this spring either. It rarely is for exteriors in Chevre.
Bleu saphir is a lovely brilliant sapphire color in Chèvre and it was my second choice last SO. I think with a raisin interior it will be absolutely stunning and I'm glad you went for the contrast stitching, something I regret not doing last time.

Thank you Quelle! I was really hoping you would agree with me since you and I seem to have similar taste in bags. I think I just needed your approval so I could stop stressing. I will keep my fingers crossed that rouge H will be available next time around. Also, I passed on the chance to SO ostrich since I had my heart set on Chevre. Do you think that was a mistake?
See...here our tastes diverge
I don't really like ostrich, except in a really vibrant color (like Kat.Lee's new Iris Pico - that's lovely) - but mostly it looks like plucked chicken skin to me 
So no, honestly - a) for the price and b) you like a durable bag and ostrich is moody with water and things. You got chevre and sellier, two things that are only SO, plus the contrast stitch. It'll be an amazing bag.Do you think a BE interior will be weird with Raisin? I'm debating. I might do Graphite or Gris T with BE and give up on chèvre. Unless you saw BE available for exterior this SO.......

Actually our tastes didn't diverge too much. I am not in love with ostrich I was just wondering if my H taste was still too new and I didn't know any better.
I really wanted BE as well but alas not available in chèvre and I wanted to stick with chèvre since I don't have this leather yet. I think you should absolutely go for BE in another leather. I think Rasin would be gorgeous with BE not too far off from my Bleu Saphir since in chèvre it is supposed to be brighter. I think it will be elegant with a bit of an edge which is what I was going for as well.
Last SO I searched all over the forum for photos of BS in Chèvre and I know there are a couple beautiful Birkins and at least one K, I'm feeling as though they might belong to papertiger or Perlerare?Actually our tastes didn't diverge too much.

It is a gorgeous brilliant blue, not dark like BS is in Clemence, but not too bright - you will love it.
I so appreciate you taking your time to help me! Lets hope it doesn't take more than a year. Fingers crossed!
