I'm a newbie here and I need you help. I've been trying to get my hands on just one Birkin bag for years! I would love any inside tips on getting on the list for a 35cm orange,gold, or red with gold hardware in togo/fijord leather. My husband said he'll get me one if I can get on the list. I've been to the Hermes stores on Rodeo, San Francisco, and South Coast Plaza but the sales assoc. always claim that the list is closed.
