Yes I found my first one was very easy. I was offered a mauve Sylvester mini Kelly as my first bag with little less 1:1 pre-spend. But it’s been like 2 years and still no other offer. Mini Kelly is super cute but doesn’t fit much.lol If I knew second was hardest to get, I kinda wish I passed on the mini and waited.

Crossing fingers for you! Maybe they just waiting for your specific dream color to come in?
I am over 1:1 but just started shopping again 8 months ago. Hoping early year will be my first bag!
I haven’t even made a wish list yet 🤦🏽♀️
lol maybe that’s the reason. You should let them know so they can keep an eye out for you.
So is it cool just to ask? I think I am going to go in next week and tell her what I am looking for and to let me know. Should be ok to do that now I think!
Omg yes lol. My first day with my SA I already told them my wish list 🤭
Especially since you are already 1:1.
Wow! I didn’t realize it was possible to get a mini kelly for a first bag - lucky you!! What bag are you looking for next? B30s are easier to get these days, Iguess the small bag trend isn’t dead yet! I’m hoping for a mini Kelly sometime in the future.
Yeah I was surprised too cause it was a quick add on to my wish list. To be honest I almost declined cause I really wanted a birkin as my first bag, but my husband insisted cause it was so hard to come by. It’s super cute but honestly doesn’t fit much. I’m hoping for a birkin 25 cause I heard the 30 is quite heavy. I actually haven’t tried any but I assume it would be similar to the LV cappucine bags 🤷🏻♀️

Hahaha the fact that he’s willing to let me play the “Hermes game” without complaining is already a plus in my books🤣🤣
I your husband is definitely a keeper!!
))I have the B30 and don’t find it too heavy, depending what you put in. I have seen the B25 at the boutique and it’s much smaller - it always shocks me how small it is in real life. It always looks bigger in videos and pictures. Similarly for the B30, it’s smaller in person. Maybe they might have the two in the back to show you the difference. Sometimes they have bags that are allocated to others but they might be willing to let you see them (if they have already been opened/taken out of the box that is). The handles on the B25 are so small that you may not be able to put your hand through - but that doesn’t always matter to everyone.
I would say the LV Cappucine bag might be heavier than the B30? It’s been a while since I’ve held one but my memory is that it has substantial hardware and thick leather.
I hope you get your bag soon!!
