Congrats! It's a classic! So your SA let you buy the kelly despite the 6 month rule? Sounds like they bend the rules. lol My SA mentioned that rule to me last week when I bought my B.
They definitely bend the rules. My SA's have never advised me of a 6 month rule. In fact, last year I bought two Birkins from the same boutique in the same month then bought a third one the following month in the Denver Boutique! It appears, that either the rules differ from location to location or certain clients are permitted to purchase freely throughout the year. It's Hermes, so who knows?

Did you pass on the bag?? Maybe that's why I got it [emoji4]

I didn't really pass on it (already have a retourne black box 28 w/ ghw), but I was shown this for a size reference since I have not seen a 32 size in person before.

I sure do hope you get to use it more than on a special occasion. Box is one of those leathers that gets gorgeous with more use. Yolo! Enjoy!

Wow you certainly hit the jackpot with this one!!! I've been asking about box for years and always told that it's almost never available, so hard to find, can't be ordered, you might as well move on etc etc

Congrats!! This is such a special bag and you definitely won't regret it!! Thanks for sharing with us!!!

Congrats! Box is one of the best leathers for a Kelly. I have one box K that is 65 years old, another that is 36 and both still beautiful. A sellier box K in PHW is VERY rare to find new.

Now, I do suggest you read up on it because if you don't love it, there are other bags.

On the 6-month "rule", first of all that rule is arbitrary, secondly it isn't time-based, it's January-June and July-December. So for instance, the Birkin I bought on 12/31 would not stop me from buying another on 1/1.

Thank you. Ladies. Haven't shown the bag to my husband yet and I'm keeping it since I will be gone for 2 weeks and don't want to be the most hated customer for returning a Kelly

This bag is too beautiful!, you absolutely made the right choice. I can't wait to own my first Kelly....I think it's going to be a good few years until I'm so lucky!

The box leather is stunning, it's a real gem :loveeyes:
 
After using the bag for less than 2 hours and carrying it on my shoulder for 2 mins... here are the pictures of the scratches from my jeans and also one little on the top flap from my watch [emoji33]
Sorry, hard to capture the scratches with my phone
