IMO only, I don’t advise buying leather bags to build a relationship with an SA, especially an Evelyn Which is in relative demand as an entry priced H bag. I also wouldn’t buy anything else unless you are genuinely interested. In general in other categories like RTW or home yield better results than buying anything ffrom leather. Given the scarcity of BKC in certain sizes, it might be easier, faster, and ultimately less expensive to buy on the secondary market.
You should ask her whenever you like re your interest in a BKC Bc the sooner you get an idea The better you can adjust your plans to continue boutique shopping or go reseller route. I personally buy mainly from boutique these days, but I also purchase reseller (mainly harder to find heritage leather or discontinued materials). But, my main focus these days is RTW.
I think Madison is currently relatively well stocked in time for Mother’s Day but mainly for regular clients. I received a B25 quadrille offer recently (rejected bc I already have a 28K quadrille) and others have reported offers too.

@acrowcounted . I thought I did read a few TPF posts about purchasing petit H at the Hermes Sevres boutique in Paris only, but I’m not 100% sure. You can do a search (magnifying glass icon, upper right)
