Dacob finally got his Birkin. I think it's pretty epic that all he has purchased over the years from Hermes is some jewelry, an Aline passport holder, a Pegase, a riding crop, tarot cards, and a Frisbee lol he didn't have to buy ready to wear, silks, sets of tea cups, 10 pairs of sandals, Hermes branded pillows and blankets, or a couple of consolation prize type non quota bags. I wish I could get the reassurance and transparency he received when they added him to a waitlist, and great customer service, but I guess you only get that experience in a country that is not the US. 😔
I've tried shopping from 5 different locations in my state (cali) and the only ones that sold me a bag still told me they were not sure they could get me a quota bag or even a color I liked in a non quota bag, and that I need to "build a relationship" with an SA for more bags and things that they don't have in stock. I don't really want anything else except for the Galop bracelet and birdie bag charm. normalize not wearing head to toe hermes but still being worthy of a Birkin. Thanks for your story Dacob.
