Am i the only one who finds it hard to purchase non-Hermes bags? Once i got hooked on Hermes leather goods, i find all other mainstream brands hard to stomach...
I was a Chanel girl until I bought my first Hermes in 2011. I still bought both up until last year when I started selling my Chanel collection - on to my last one now (Chanel Boy in New Medium 2016) which I'm still torn about (whether to sell or not), because it is super practical. You're right. I'm hooked.

Yes, I tend to look at H products first when I need something, but when I was looking for a really formal evening bag I picked a Dior Diorama WOC with micro cannage (has yet to arrive) after looking at the H options and other brands. The design is more futuristic and young IMO and I won't be using it often, so the quality doesn't need to be the most durable (read about the metallic colour peeling beforehand...). I see H as the brand with the highest quality and classic designs, but for certain occasions form wins over function for me. But I do have the feeling I'm stepping a level down when I'm not purchasing H in leather goods...
 
My dear Ladies,

I searched for a while now and finally found this Thread. Makes me so happy because I will get crazy if I don’t talk to someone.

This summer my hubby and I saw a amazing Kelly 28 in a red shade. I felt in love. Sadly my hubby didn’t like that the bag was preloved and talked me out of it - he said I should get a new one from the boutique. So we visited the boutique the same day, in Nike’s and totally casual.
The Lady was nice and I picked a bag just in 5 minutes. I was in such a happy state of mind that I can barely remember what I chose.

Now I wait. And my mind is going crazy. Could it happen that they will never call me because I was so clueless about everything? How long do I have to wait? What colors did I pick? What leather? Should I call?

I am so sad that I did no proper research and my hubby is like “relax, if is just a bag” ...

What do you mean that you "picked" a bag but you have to wait? You placed a special order? We can help if we understand what kind of order you placed at the boutique.
 
I just found this thread and I'm so glad I did!

A few weeks back I've officially decided that I want to have a brand new B or K...but mostly B. I am in no rush to get one, but I want to start now with saving up my money and selling off bags I don't use. I just sold off 3 bags and will be selling 2 more soon. So excited!!

I hope I could get a brand new B from the store. I've bought a few items from the boutique but I'm not as frequent a customer as most others so I hope my SA is able to let me get one.

I really want a 25, 30, or 35 in togo, clemence, or swift. In terms of colors I would like any black, dark blues, beiges, neutrals, or greys.

I‘m sorry. I was able to choose the sitze and Modell (Kelly, 28), the Leather (i don‘t remember the Name, it was the smoothest one) and three colours. The SA wrote everything on a paper and said she would call me.
So... to be true I don’t know what kind of order I placed :-(

At this point I really wish I would have made my Research before. I was always a Chanel Girl and a „in and out“ buyer, but it seems that Hermès is a different kind :-)

You haven't placed any order. You gave the SA your wish list. If the store ordered something matching your spec and there is nobody waiting for that specific spec in front of you, your SA may call you when they receive it.
 
PJW and XiangXiang, thank you for your kind reply.

Why can't you just go back to the store, find the SA who served you and ask?
Then you will be reassured.

I could do that - but I want ask more experienced Ladies before. I feel like I made a fool of myself the first time ;-) no need for a second blame.

Oh, thank you! How can I place a order?
 
Generally you can't. Unless you are invited to place a special order.

Oh -so the “wish list” is the normal way, good news :-) thank you so much!

Yoshi, good luck! Did you decide a size yet? I really like the B25 in the modeling pictures, but I am not sure I saw one in real life.
