here is a question...
Do you most often pick from what you find or seek out what you truely want?

Now some of us I know will be looking for H goodies and when they find one in the style they want, leather and the color is good..then just snap it up...(generally regardless of one of these; the leather type,hardware or color)
Yet others will wait and seek ad search for just the exact combo color, leather, hardware etc...
So, which is it?
 
I only get what I truly want. I often have only a couple colors that I need to complete my rainbow, etc. so it makes it easier. I only want PH so I would never settle for GH and I generally prefer Chevre so I have turned down other leathers.

I usually find a style I want and then email my SA to see what colors and leathers she has in that style. If there is not anything at her store that I want, then she will try to find it for me at another boutique.

Same thing for me. I try not to repeat the colours that I already own, and hence can get very specific about what I want, to add on to my collection.

I will always go to my SA first, to let her try and get me what I want. And if all the local stores do not have the item I want, she will always try a global search for me. And in most cases, it took weeks for the other H stores to respond, and a couple more weeks for the item to be re-directed from Paris.
 
Great thread. It's driving me crazy waiting for the things that I want in the colors that I want. Still waiting for my little some things in Rose Shocking and Lagon.
 
For Small Leather Goods, I Stick With What I Want (I Don't Mind Waiting). I Know I Mentioned This Before ~ I Don't Really Do A Rainbow. Everything Is Rose Shocking &/Or Fuchsia....Along With Black.....I Have Bought A Few Other Things In Others Colors ~ But, They Were 2nd Choice. I Loved Them On Sight.....Also, I Have Quite A Few Leather Charms For The Outside Of My Bags. I Do Know What I Love & But, Those Don't Have To Stick To My Fuchsia & Black;)
 
Thank you for sharing :o) I have snapped and grabbed what I found which was close enough or so I thought ...only to find that what I really wanted is still in my mind everytime I look at some of the snapped up items.. I got them used often just to try out...see if the style was right for me...then let it go and find it in the color and leather and hardware I truely want... I know sounds crazy... But everything is so nicely done at Hermes it's hard to resist!
 
I'm with you, docride and Roxane. I find that there's so many colors and styles I love, that I really don't have a narrow "find" list.

I'm usually massively content with one out of a half dozen choices. I've actually resorted to closing my eyes and pointing to pick out one from several I was equally happy with.
