I can now replace the huge 33 that was a hand-me-down with this 29, which is the right size for me. So overall, a positive first time experience for me. Perhaps I will visit again before Christmas - but I will make an appointment this time![]()
Congratulations for your Evelyne and thanks for the sharing ! had a similar experience yesterday. I was initially looking for a Picotin 26, but none of the Selfridges, NBS or Cadogan stores had it. I've eventually bought an Evelyne 29 in Noir (but I agree, the Etoupe one is amazing !) at the Cadogan store. The Cadogan SA who served me was very polite and knowledgeable, but not as friendly as my Selfridges SA (who is amazing and gives great advice, but he wasn't there yesterday and the woman who talked to me wasn't very welcoming). I had a good impression with the NBS store, the SA was very nice. My next purchases will be some Passifolia tableware I think, so I'll try there.
I have also submitted a Kelly 28 wish in September (at the Selfridges store), I keep my fingers crossed, but with new lockdown threats, I think it will be more for 2021 (if I'm offered something).
