Pictures are awesome. And I really wish everyone luck in thier journey. I'm glad we have this thread, b/c if I mention one more thing about one more purse I want to DH, he's going to commit me. Although it was cute, last night he compared the craftsmanship of our BMW to the craftsmanship of a Hermes purse so something sunk in, finally.

Glad we got stickied as I think some of us might be on here a long time! Since coming on this forum have changed my mind about the H bag I want. Now lusting after a large Picotin. I love that slouchy look. Just have to keep saving. I really need cheaper children!!!!!! or a big pay rise!!!!
Hello everyone! 
I´m Louise and I´ve been reading through the 20 pages, and i feel this is the thread for me. The love for H has been developing over the years, and i guess there is no turning back at this point. 
I visited my local H store, 30 minutes away, for the first of many times, last fall. I just went looking, looking and looking. The SA´s where very nice, even when i said i couldn´t afford anything...yet. This february my BF went on a trip to Hamburg, and came back with an ORANGE BOX!! He bought me a Pegasus cadena, wich i now use as a necklace. It´s a bit heavy...but boy do i get a lot of compliments for it!! :shame:
A couple of weeks ago i had my birthday coming up, and i thought that was a good idea for making a new visit to the H store. I came home with an Ulysse in BJ and a Carmen key ring in BJ. I maxed out my cc...but it was sooo worth it!
The feeling of getting those, relatively small, orange boxes is unbelivable!! I can´t even comprehend, what it would be like to come home with a big one!
As for bags...i´m buying lottery tickets and pray.
But sometime...ahhh the thought is divine! Hope i didn´t go on for to long. :shame:

You have a very nice b/f, my DH is actively resisiting the gravitational pull of H. world. And also very nice bday presents! I have yet to open an orange box, though I do think I am going to picking up a little something (scarf, twilly) in a couple of weeks. I will show you guys when I do. Welcome again.
Hi Louise, wow, I can't believe you went through all 20 pages...I know how long that takes! Welcome!
Aren't those orange boxes, indeed, thrilling?
I try to space mine out, since I can only afford an acessory every now and then, but let me tell you, it is so hard NOT to go back week after week...even if it is just to drool!
P-B...I REALLY want to purchase my first Hermes silk, too. I am thinking of going for it during the LV tPF meet at South Coast Plaza on Apr. 12th (sshh, but don't tell the LV girls..hehe)

:ninja: I won't say a word, ChocoGrace. You gotta help me out too (in general), lol! That would be naughty -- say "Oh I gotta go call my mom." Then run out and go to H., then sneak back into the LV meet. You HAVE TO do that! Get something, it's a little piece of H/heaven that you wouldn't have had. Little by little build up your stash.
My dream bags: 30cm Birkins, in Clemence or Togo, Blue Jean and Black, with Palladium hardware
Who are you? How are you saving? What are your obstacles? What's your dream bag?
^^^
My dream bag/s: Black Birkin 35 Togo with PH and Raisin Birkin 30 Togo with PH!
I have the funds ... obstacles ~ the right SA to actually help me ...
Sweet Purple, I hope you find the right SA. Have you tried some of the SA's of other tPF'ers? Maybe you can PM someone who is in the same area as you are.
LOL, P-B...I will be stealthy, like a panther at night, prowling the jungle...the HERMES jungle, ha! BTW, under your username, I think I know what "B.A.P." means...are you referencing a certain HILARIOUS movie starring the gorgeous Halle Barry?

LOL!! Well, when I use it I am referring to being a "Black American princess" generally. That movie doesn't really represent at all what a B.A.P. really is b/c it was a total parody (but yes, very funny). If you know what a J.A.P. is then B.A.P. is the same, except, we're black. LOL!
Hi, Sweet Purple - welcome to H. world. I'm sure someone can help you or at least tell you the steps you can take to increase your chances. Are you or DH against using reputable resellers?
Hi i just had a baby and am a stay at home mom. quit my job as i chose to stay at home. the money i earned i have invested mostly and recently bought a manificent piece of jewellery as my push present. so sadly i may be able to spend in april but even when i can i have cash i have absolutely no sm or sa contacts until a kind tpf member helps me out but till then......wait.... and dont know if i will ever go to paris... but i truly enjoy every reveal by a tpf member and am so happy for them genuinely ecstatic for their new h additions
This seems like my kind of thread! I'm not really loyal to one brand--I just buy whatever I like, but it seems like I float mainly around Gucci (not so much anymore), LV, and Chanel. After looking through the thread, I've decided that my first H will be a 35cm Birkin matte croc in havanne with contrast white stitching and PHW (inspired from ilovemylife 
). It technically won't be mine, because I want to buy this for my mom to thank her for everything she's done for me. I think she will like this bag alot!
I'm going to try really hard not to buy anymore bags until I can save up enough to get this bag for my lovely momo. I like Sus's idea about putting a picture in my wallet. Hhahaha..constant reminder NOT to buy. But...saving up enough liquid "bag money" will take around 2 years not to mention the additional 1 year to find an SA and get the bag.
Thank goodness for this support group! (My bf thinks I'm crazy
)
