Well done! What sort of label maker did you use? (I attempted the same project with stickies--they all fell off, of course.)
(And I see that there's lots of advice regarding Fashionphile on other threads--reading through it now. Sorry about that.)
I used the Brother P-touch label maker with the clear labels. I had to centre a few and the labels didn’t do any damage to the boxes coming off but so far so good. Some of them I did a few months ago and they’ve been holding.
I think someone recently posted about a silk scarf that she discovered was a fake a long time after purchase. Fashionphile honored the claim but I dont recall details. IMO, as a buyer, fashionphile is a safer choice than TRR re bags
In spite of Fashionphile offering a lifetime authenticity guarantee, I'd be more inclined to have it
authenticated now before I'd take it to H for a spa at a later date, JMO
This is great to know--about the silk scarf buyer and about TRR and Fashionphile more generally. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Clearly, whoever thought wrapping the latest tech in leather and charging $15k for it does not have smart kids. Even a mega wealthy person will not buy this for him/herself. This will be at Christie’s or Sotheby’s after a proud parent buys this as a graduation gift and the kid just wants the cash.
This is the brilliance of Hermes.. who else could market 15k headphones & receive all this attention
& @haute okole you are so right it will likely end up at an auction house
A question on exotics… I spotted a white ostrich mini bolide in one of the stores in my city yesterday and the SA said this was for sale. I originally thought exotics were largely offered to regular clients (this was not at my home store so I was not being attended to by my regular SA).
Can anyone share their experiences / thoughts on exotics? Could one actually get an exotic leather for their first QB?
I’m still working my way to hit pre spend for my first QB and am thinking of asking for an MK. If anyone has information on what colour MKs H is pushing out lately that would be great! I’m still unsure about colours and leathers to request for.
Much love from an H fledging!

Thoughts on a B25 Noir with brushed palladium hardware?
I’ve had a B25 with PHW on my wishlist for a while now and was just offered this combo yesterday. However, it was brushed, not shiny hardware. I shop at a competitive store and was nervous to say no - (mostly because I liked the bag and it was very similar to exactly what i wanted, and I was worried I would lose the opportunity to be offered this combo again in the future — b25 Noir/PHW - my #1 bag on wishlist).
I wasn’t sure what to do so I took it and now I’m having second thoughts. Should I have passed and waited for the shiny hardware? And most importantly, should I message my SA tomorrow and express my thoughts? If I were to bring the bag back for credit, will that destroy my relationship with her and the store? Don’t get me wrong - I like this combo, but it’s not the “perfect” combo I hoped for and I’m super picky! Ah!
What would you do? Love the bag and be grateful and move on? Or take a risk and say something to the SA in hopes to bring it back in? Am I crazy, haha?

IMO brushed PHW is much nicer and more special than shiny. And previously the mark of an SO. But you have to be happy
ETA: @dgreen101 , I have no idea what your relationship is like with your SA. i simply would not have taken any bag I didn’t love in the first place. Mainly bc I intensely dislike returns. I assume your SA and SM would be very surprised since this is a more special combo, but if you are going to do it, I would not wait a second longer.

I think that combo is so cool and a total head turner. Plus, you won’t see scratches as easily like polished. Save a polished phw for another bag. Keep this baby and enjoy!
