Hi all, have a quick question for everyone based in London. I am looking for a 26 Lindy in etain or etoupe, and I have been waiting for a while(like 1 month?). I thought Lindy is considered as a easy purchase in a way? Especially if you are considered as local in H London boutiques, at least thats what I thought. Any one can help me with this? XXX
 
Came pick up the brides de gala twillies SA reserved for me earlier!! Happy days!!

Saw a lady being shown a Lindy in Sth like brown (mocca?! A bit deeper than Bordeaux) in Sloane Street and she refused it (can't tell the size as it was still in the dust bag when SA opened it)

Also is this barenia??! Looks so yummy!

yes the Bastia does appear to be barenia :)

Hi there! 26cm lindys are far more scarce than 30cm and you want a very specific color. I know it is difficult, but hang in there and be patient. One month isn't really very long in H world.:) Continue to go to the store from time to time, show your face and continue building your relationship with your SA. Hopefully the H fairies will soon smile upon you and you will find your bag.

Hi Luckylove, thank you so much for your reply. I love my SA, she has been more than helpful in the past and always give my honest suggestions. I guess you are right, one month isn't that long in the H world I guess my previous purchase was way faster and thats why. :smile: I shall be more patient :cool:, thank you again.
 
I can't seem to find the latest threads on purchasing a B or K in London. I can only find ones that are several years old. Is the situation still close to impossible to get one as a walk-in? Please point me to the current threads if they are out there. Thanks!
 
Hi all, I'm visiting London in early Sep for work. The K is on my wishlist, and I contemplated going to Paris to try at FSH, but I decided it wasn't worth it given the line situation. I know historically London H boutiques didn't sell to walk-ins, and had questions around that.

Has that changed at all or are chances still close to 0 to score a K?
Are specific boutiques easier than others to walk-in and just ask?
Any chance I could establish some sort of SA relationship over the phone before I head over there?

I'll try reading through this thread, but I thought I'd first see if anyone with current experiences could kindly advise. Thanks in advance!

Close to zero, chances are worse now than before.
Some may have such limited stocks it's not even possible to sell to regulars.
I highly doubt the SAs have time to establish a relationship on the phone in advance. Most of the stores are understaffed and to quote my SA today, "It's as busy as before Christmas!"

Really sorry to be a wet blanket but I am trying to help manage your expectations. Enjoy London!

periogirl is absolutely right! Some stores are putting many non-B/K bags such as GP or Evelyn for display only. Stock is absolutely dreadful. You won't be able to establish any relationship over the phone. Paris is a much better option.

Thank you both! It's sad, but this will help me enjoy London more knowing in advance chances are 0. This way I don't have to bother to try!

Heathrow bag shelves were practically empty! Even more easily available bag styles such as Evie and GP were gone! In the city , a friend tried in the spring at every store as a walk in and was told a big NO every time. It was very discouraging. I suggest that you try Paris.
