Hello everyone, I had a very interesting day.

Today, while picking up the scarf I ordered online from FSH, I suddenly found myself on the upper floor. I mentioned my request for a Kelly. The SA spent a long time looking at the bags downstairs and returned with 4 boxes.

Two of them were Evelyn mini, one in gold and gold; the other in black.

One was Helzan.

The last box was a Constance Elan in Etoupe.

The SA recommended that the Constance Elan was not considered a quota bag for today (it will change in 6 months) and that it would not affect my chances of getting a Kelly offer. He specifically encouraged me not to take it and said he thought I would get the green Kelly I dream of very soon. He even asked me how to say "it suits you very well" in my native language and memorized it.

Afterward, I had an appointment at the Sèvres store to pick up my plates for our new apartment. It was with the same SA who gave me a Picotin the other day. We selected beautiful plates. We also looked at pillows for the living room. One plate was missing, so we ordered it. Once the process was complete, the SA told me to email her when I know the dates of my next trip to Paris and gave me her card. As I was leaving, she said, "You are very kind."

Now, within two weeks, I have acquired a Picotin 18 and a Constance Elan.

I am very confused.

Why are you confused?
 
Returning a bag will do more harm than good IMHO.

If you are buying an apartment there and your husband is French, they probably see you more as a local.

Yes, my husband is French and very French, so he absolutely refuses to step into Hermès and spend all this effort for a bag🤣 He thinks it's against the principle of equality.

💯 agree with @GabrielleS not to return the Constance if it is solely bc you don’t want to endanger the possibility of a Kelly. I think your SA made it pretty clear that the K was in the works. I’m happy for you! Enjoy your beautiful bags and Paris too. :biggrin:
ETA: I have always been offered the opportunity to purchase a BK and a non BK at my appts.

Hooray for you 👏👏👏! So please for you, enjoy this new addition in good health 💋
 
Honestly, I think I will return the bag because my dream is a green Kelly. The Constance is an incredibly elegant bag, and I don't want to affect the chances of a woman who would be happy with it.

I got a heritage leather C24 end of Oct last yr, a Picotin in Feb 2024, K28 in Apr and K25 in June. If your SA says it won’t affect your chances of getting your green Kelly and you love the C-Elan, I would advise you keep it as not everyone gets opportunities like this x

That’s amazing!

May I ask if all the bags were under one account?

I have always strived to be an honest consumer, but today I really didn't know what to do. With the awareness that this was a great opportunity, I bought the C-elan. Now, after returning home, I'm wondering if I made a mistake.
