Thank you to everyone for your honest opinions, I truly appreciate it. It’s been a difficult decision to say the least, my SA is also an assistant manager so this complicates things and I know that if I return the bag I will most definitely tarnish our relationship. Having said all this, I have read all your comments and can say that I don’t hate the bag, it just wasn’t my first choice but could definitely be a good neutral. If and when I do get a second bag if I still don’t love love it I will consider selling. I dont want to give any red flags!
Thanks again to all of you, this is a great community! I was in the Chanel forum for years and happy to be team Orange!! lol

Have you tried putting the Nata color mixed in with your wardrobe, just as a suggestion?
There are times when you just go into your closet & something will pop into your head, &
it comes together. I'd give yourself a chance to do that, JMO
I would also share as many here have already done, do not be concerned about your relationship
being tarnished. Your SA should be the one concerned about that.
You are not the first nor will you be the last to disappoint a SA/SM with a return. You are the
client & that should remain uppermost at all times when shopping be it Hermes or any other
designer.

I’m afraid if I return it she will not offer me another bag and it took me over a year to get this offer.

While the decision to accept or decline the offer is ultimately yours, I'd like to touch on another point.

Throughout my life, I've been a devoted fan of Maria Callas, and although I admire Jackie Kennedy's style, her life seemed distant to me due to the immense heartache Maria endured. Consequently, the Constance bag, so closely associated with her, never caught my attention.

A few weeks ago, at FSH, after a challenging appointment I managed to secure, my only request was a emerald green K25 (there are 4 shades of green available in it).

And after a very long wait, the SA finally brought me the Constance Elan.
The SA noticed I was considering rejecting the bag and offered some advice, and suddenly I found myself walking out with the H package.

I couldn't face the fact that I had bought the Constance bag for days, and many friends in the group gave me advice.

I still have reservations about the Constance bag, I can't deny that. I'll continue to wish the green K25. However, this doesn't mean I can't be happy with what I have.

If budget isn't an issue, and if accepting this offer won't steer you away from eventually getting the color you dream of, and if it aligns with your lifestyle, I think you should just be happy.

Plus, @rumes , you look fabulous; modern; sleek; and effortlessly soigne with that particular Constance :smile:

sometimes we are offered ends up being the most flattering option for ourselves. If you don’t want to return it, then give it a chance. The glass is half full

Sometimes I wonder if Amazon shoes are cuter, more comfy, and certainly lighter and cheaper than Hermes
(only half joking due to problematic feet)

THIS is so true and made me lol!😂 🤣
If only my personal style meter allowed me to wear flats regularly… I’m old school and I still insist and love (suffer!) wearing a fabulous bag with high heels…

I just cannot give them up!🤪

My personal style meter wishes I still had occasions to wear high heels...don't think I've worn them since traveling on the Queen Mary in 2019. And now my feet prefer flats and I simply have no occasion to wear high heels so my fabulous bags must simply make do with Birkenstocks ;)

Disclaimer: we all have our preferences so this is in no way a comment to those who love mini bags. Read it as a big-bag lover's attempt to try new things.
Readers' discretion is advised :flowers:

I LOVE my Saut 25 which is my mini bag. But each time I use it, I spend half an hour playing Tetris as I am more of a low maintenance person who don’t think and throw everything into a large bag.

Anything within the strap fits into the bag (shawl is a giant triangle, foldable shopping bag, keys, calvi duo, tissue and lip balm, plus phone). Sunglasses will be on all the time as I am heading into the heatwave and the book will be in my hand.

PS: I think there is a thread about what fits in a bag? Unfortunately can’t find it.

Asking again here @ShadowComet as I’m still curious about buyma. Is it a reseller? A concierge service? An ‘inspired by’ boutique? Just wondering 🤔

I can't read their language so I'm not sure 😁 but look like they are like personal shopper site where you place your order then the personal shopper will go out, purchase your item and ship it directly to you.
