Can you ask the SA if he/she can do a global search? If you really want one, they will bring it in if you pay for it upfront providing there’s one in stock somewhere in the system.

I could use some help. I am trying to decide between rouge casaque and rouge de coeur in a Lindy 26. Both Clemence, both gold hardware. I've had rouge casaque before so this doesn't look "new," but it's still a new bag I intend to use daily. One impresses me as more summery another more wintery. I'm overthinking this. I could use some input!
Thoughts?

Few people know that besides sleeping and eating all day koalas conduct on-site machinery installations.
I take it the rouge casque is the orangey-red? IMO, the rouge casque is lovely but a tad summery b/c of the orange undertone. The rouge de coeur is a stunning deep red, very rich. There are other orangey-reds like feu but I've never seen a rich red like rouge de coeur. If your wardrobe has citrusy colors then go for the RC.
I have a lime kelly from Spring 2019. Haven't carried it yet due to lockdown which supposedly is easing up. Is lime over? Well, from the looks of the black and white clothing on-line in department stores, yes. There is some lime available but it will be gone by fall I bet. I did b&w back in the 90s. No so interested in it now.
If you like lime keep the bag and maybe let a specialty leather shop get the marks out. They'll probably wear out over time or you'll forget about them. You won't see lime bags for a while again is my guess. Other colors will come along. For neutrals lime can be regarded as a "pop of color" which is always desirable. I have coloring which works with citrusy colors so lime does more for me than a black bag.
I'd think about what color my skin tone is (warm or cold) and what undertone are the colors of the clothes I wear most often (warm or cold) if I had to decide between the two. They're otherwise very similar and you can't really go wrong.
Look at the veins on the underside of your wrist, if it's
cool - blue/purple
warm - green
neutral - blue/green
I am not an expert with the colors so maybe someone can correct me but I thought it was the other way around, that the casaque is the cooler one and the rouge de coeur is the warmer one. (this is based on the color that looks like my own rouge de coeur bag)
I have a warm skintone and I have a rouge de coeur bolide 26 ghw that works well for me (which I do wear mostly in the summer). But I also have deeper burgundy bag (not H) that I wear when I wear cooler colors, so it's just a way to help you decide if you're having a hard time. There's no right answer at the end, it's personal preference

Your email is very helpful. And yes, you're correct about the color. The rouge de coeur is the brighter/warmer/more orangey red, e.g., the warmer one. The rouge casque is the deeper bluish-red, e.g., the cooler one.I'd think about what color my skin tone is (warm or cold) and what undertone are the colors of the clothes I wear most often (warm or cold) if I had to decide between the two.

I've had three bags in the past--all rouge casaque (obviously, I love the color), but thought it didn't look "new" having had it in the past. Yesterday I was leaning towards the rouge de coeur. Today it's the rouge casaque. I'm thinking the casaque will go with everything, whereas the rouge de coeur may be a bit harder to pair.
I already asked as I don't mind to pay a deposit but seems the SA nothing above and beyond... And I asked another person who knows another SA and said that store did not make any orders for that bracelet? WTF? Like I was told their system has 13 people waiting the same thing in that store and yet they didn't order any for their own store???
I also rang the online store and they said they cannot offer any assistance and just asked me to keep checking online.. how helpful I suppose that is Hermes.. they know many people have money and want to buy things you just can't have it
In other words they're not going out of their way for you? WTF is an appropriate response.
Did you talk to the store manager of your local boutique? I can't say this will work but checking in now and then might wear them down. Certainly with HS even if the manager orders a bunch it's quite possible NOTHING HAPPENS. Maybe call some other H and see what happens. People are known to turn down stuff that the store brings in so if you can glom on to the bracelet that way. And consider checking resale sites.
Copycat koala flyby --- weasel on woodpecker
Is this a case of a really bad hair day or "The third ear"?
I thought it might be a trick photo but the woodpecker's eyes look alarmed (first time weasel-packing is always a surprise, then later on they get used to it). But it could be a trick photo. Why a weasel, well, they're about the same size. That is, the weasel isn't packin' any excess baggage.
That silk print could be gooseberries. Not that I've ever seen any IRL, much less eaten any.
