Hi, I have some questions for ladies with Birkins. Do you normally carry the bag with flaps closed or open? Do you worry of pickpockets when you carry the bag with flaps opened? Do you take any precautions?
sorry if my questions sound silly......

I always carry and store my bags with flaps opened. I carry them in the crook of the arm, so they're always in front of me and I need not worry of pickpockets. =)

That, if I might say so, is a false sense of security.
One day you will get bumped and find out.

I've been carrying my birkin like that ever since, even when I am in a foreign country. My valuables are in a totally separate area or secured bag/pouch/pocket inside my clothes and whenever I use my birkin, the only items inside are non valuables. I also don't use my birkin if the area I am going to is a not so safe place or a crowded one so it works for me. Also, my instinct is to somehow hug my birkin in front of me in case I am about to get bumped.

Most of the time when I visit the store, usually the popular items run out really fast. My SA will then offer to “queue” in the system for me for the colors I want. Did a few world wide search before too.

I understood from my SA that for queue, usually it’s faster and I got my items under a month most of the time. If the queue is full, I will need to wait for shipment to come in, clear those in the queue before I can queue for it or I’ll get it if a customer happen to let it go after queueing. So far I’ve queued for silver jewelries, shoes, sandals, twilles, scarves, shawls and TPM evelyne. Calvi queue is full and I’m waiting for homeware - which could take 3-6 months.

This queue system allows me to shop stress-free and I can build up my profile when Im free to drop by the store. Every time I go I would always walk away with an item I queued for previously or bonus items I like that are available in store:) hopefully this will help those of you who wanna build profile but always face problem of items running out in store.

That is really nice of your SA to help you queue for stuff, she is a keeper.
