Wow....you spent $4500 in a month but I hope not every month buying H to get a B or K. Last time in H bellagio they have HAC 50 Flag but it was too big for me so I did not buy it and I not buy anything at all. I hope you will find you dream bag soon.
When were you in Bellagio? Was the HAC offered to you or was it on the display??

Im from LA so I really dont have a "SA" in Vegas. Of course my loyalty was with my Rodeo SA.
 
Everyone was talking about how we need an H Support Group Thread-- IE, for those of us who can't afford our dream bags right now or have to save up for it, this is a thread to talk about it; discuss your dream bag, vent about frustrations in not being able to get it, discuss savings tactics, etc. I know there are a lot of us out there who can't get our dream bag right now and it may be many years before we can, so this is a great way to join with other people in our situation! Maybe the mods could sticky this thread?

I'll start!

Hi! My name is S, and I'm an Hermes-a-holic. I was very close to getting my dream Birkin with money from an inheritance from my grandmother, but I'm also house-hunting, and that money should go towards a down payment, really. I'm having to be responsible here, and though I think it's the right decision, it's so hard!

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?
I really want to get a Birkin, not sure about the size yet, but around 30cm or smaller. But I don't like handbag, I like crosee body shoulder bag. So I am reluctantly holding that thought now. Then I looked into so kelly but it's not a zip closure and only shoulder bag. So I don't know what is my choice besides jypsiere 28cm in Togo or clement in éclat. So I am still contemplating.
 
How much was the HAC do you remember? My SA told me that "HOPEFULLY" before the holidays are over I will get my wish from Santa. :( I hope he's right!

Are you based in LA?


I don't really remember the price, since it's been quiet a while.,may be around 14k. It's looks a flag Birkin but in toile. I hv no permanent store really.....love the Rodeo coz it's a big store... But there's so many VIP's I personally love Vegas....multiple stores to visit :-))

That is so true RE: Vegas. I still feel so sour about my HAC incident.

My SA told me that he will call me before the holidays... So hopefully thats true!

:SIGH
 
I am in the end of the waiting period. Someone please please cross their fingers so I finally get my Birkin. After waiting for longer than one year this is pretty much the end. The store in Geneva is discontinuing using the waiting list and from now on will serve as other stores (i.e. Paris). Until then, they need to fulfill the waiting list.

Does anyone know if in reality the bag I asked for was so hard to get, the B 35 GHW black Epsom vs the togo leather?

I really hope I am lucky and get it in February, so scarred something will happen. The SA assistants keep reassuring me but the guy in charge of the bags is so so so mean and terrible (he has serious psychological problems with foreigners and young women). My fingers and toes are crossed.

Hi, Same situation here! I have been waiting for over a year now, and my local shop notified me that my B was ordered on the last PO (in July). I expect the call every day, and it's very hard to stay patient!
Please keep us updated, and make a reveal! I will do my reveal too!
Good luck!
 
Hello,
Since you live in london, why don't you take the Eurostar to Paris flagship store on rue faubourg saint honore? You can get birkin without buying anything else. Loads of tourists visit that store with 1 common goal :)
If the SA tells you "no shipment today etc" then try a different SA. You might need to visit the store more than once, persistence will pay off.
Good luck
Hi, have you been to the Paris store a lot? We're planning on going this spring and was wondering what are my chances of scoring a Kelly 28cm?
 
For those interested in the Paris store. I have been there 3x. All of the times I was able to find either a birkin or kelly. Just not in my colour of choice or size. I did get one for my mom and another for a gf but none for me. The first day I went before closing time, looked around, didn't go immediately to the bag section and just before I was leaving headed to the line. And then I told them I am a customer at Hermes, both in france and suisse which is true. Last time the guy told a bunch of people things were out of stock and told me to come am and I found myself with two bags. It depends when you go (which season) but they do tend to have a much bigger stock than in Lyon or other parts of France and you are more likely to find one there.

I also spoke french to them and then switched in english. Not sure if that helped. In all cases I went dressed up for an evening event as I had a soirée after that. Again not sure if it helped. Also I always went confident.

In the end your bag will find you and I hope you have luck. I was told it is easier to get a Kelly but again depending on what colour/s you want etc. I would love to know how it went and wishing you luck.
 
Bumping this old thread.. I could really use some support here :)

I'm waiting for an etoupe birkin ordered for my next birthday in December (ordered I,5 years back to be sure it's arriving in time, my store is very small) and my next bag; a black kelly (ordered for next season).

How do you wait? *panic* It seems like a forever wait...

I hope it arrives before your birthday! Waiting is torture, you never know when you will get the call.
