Congrats!!! Do you think they have a supply of Barenia they are pushing out? I'd love to get lucky.

Definitely! They made a bunch of K25s for sure and released them all at once. It's rare to find 2 same exact in different stores that arrived within days of each other let alone now many multiples of the identical bags! Seems we all have Sellier K25s? Just all different hardwares. The first one had PHW but the strap was GHW and my 2nd one was GHW (and thank god the strap HW matched this time 😆). I told the manager I wouldn't have even said a word if the 2nd didn't match, I'd have taken it no one would have heard about it. Lol

The manager was saying she hasn't seen a smooth Barenia in quite some time and she was shocked when it came in. She says usually they are more surprises when they show up because they never expect to get one.

I have been asking for a Barenia Kelly for years, and have been told by my store manager they never get them. I was shocked when I got the call. I have a Barenia Birkin too, which seems much more common!! However, I am a Kelly person, it's my personal preference, and would turn down a Birkin over a Kelly!

I got a Black Box Sellier Birkin 30 this year for over $18,000 USD. I had put aside $12,000 to buy a new bag, but after I mentioned to my SA I loved Box, and always wanted a Sellier Birkin, when she offered me the BBB, I couldn't refuse. Love it.

OMG! What a perfect classic bag. I've seen a Black Box Sellier Kelly, but never a Birkin! Would love to see pics! When I see Black Box ......I think sophisticated lady! Congrats!!

Congrats! I got one this weekend too. :smile: The week before I was offered one at another store but when they pulled out the strap, the hardware didn't match. They weren't allowed to sell it to me! But the manager made up for it with this one!

Omg. The straps not matching is so off brand for Hermes! Although, many years ago, I owned one of their "pot/weed" smelling bags which Hermes recalled. It was a hilarious thread on the forum, everyone's bags were smelling like they were hanging with Snoop Dog!

Barenia is a push offer item and this particular configuration is definitely being pushed to stores in relative quantity, especially in advance of the holidays. I was able to reserve one :)

Huge congratulations on getting your dream bag!! It is absolutely stunning and a collector’s piece of art.
This thread of yours has touched my heart, because I totally relate to your hesitation and first question. I’ve gone through the exact same dilemma recently - and posted it in this forum. I was offered this same bag, a Barenia Kelly 25, (but PHW), which had also been my holly grail since forever. And I just couldn’t mentally cope with the “blame” of spending 11,800 euros on it. I hesitated a lot, and thanks to the ladies in this forum I ended up selling my K28 retourné, which I had used less than 10 times in two years, and bought the Barenia jewel. Two months later, I can say that I couldn’t be happier about my decision! I have used it almost every day, I enjoy it so much, even just looking at it on my desk.
I wish you the same feeling of joy every time you wear or look at yours :hugs::heart:. Enjoy it in good health, you totally deserve it!
Here’s mine, that says hello to her twin :P
