big congrats on your HG! I got the same bag as yours (but mine is GGH) also in LV! the SA there is super nice and helpful! She told me that the GSH and GGH Day is being discontinued...so it's really a good choice to get this style now!
I'm also looking for a amethyst for a while, and made tons of calls to every single Bal store, found out only LV got the Day in Amethyst...you are really lucky! it's meant to be yours!
I love your amethyst day with GGH.. It would have been a hard choice for me if they did carry both GGH and GSH.. Maybe I would have gone with GGH since it's more rare..
After I bought it, I did notice that the B online store carry the amethyst in GSH day and weekender too.. But seeing and inspecting the bag before buying it is priceless..
Not only it would cost me shipping.. but I live in Canada.. It will cost me tons on customs and custom processing fees...you're absolutely right! I can imagine your joy when you were in Bal boutique!! It is always better to find exactly what you want in store and bring her home right away, that's priceless!...after all, you don't need to wait and pay for extra shipping
