After waiting months to visit the H in Las Vegas, I was a bit disappointed. I had saved for the trip and tops on my list were a karo and possibly a Trim II or an all leather garden party.
There was only one Karo--a PM in rose dragee (sp?). I had not expected to have any trouble getting a GM and was hoping for a bright color.
Next, only 1 31cm Trim in togo or clemence, and it was orange. Beautiful color, but not for me. They were really trying to sell epsom--telling me what a great skin it is. Since I was looking for a slouchier trim, this was not meant to be. Leather question #1--they brought out a black trim in a leather that they said was "unidentified". Is that unusual? It was soft, very small grained, but definitely not togo.
In the all leather garden party, they had one in brick red (rouge h?). Leather question #2--the tag said bull calf--is that the same as togo? The SA said that it was, but it was very different than any togo that I own. It didn't seem as soft to the touch, and the grain almost seemed embossed. I didn't get this, as I was hoping for almost any color other than any shade of red or dark brown--those are the two colors that I already own.
I had wanted to see a smaller lindy, but there were none. They said that they had lots and lots of bolides and evelynes, but I have those bases covered (even though the charcoal gray bolide was tempting).
They also didn't have any bolide cosmetic bags, which I figured was a longshot, but I was hoping...
I did get a rouge garrance dogon that I love, but didn't really need, and also the carousel looking cadena.
No birkins or kellys that they would admit to.
I also wandered back later in the afternoon just to look one more time and a much more helpful SA offered to find me a karo (turquoise GM should be here this week!). I was happy, but a little frustrated that the original SA made no effort to search for anything even though it was clear that I wanted to buy and that I had a good idea of what I was looking for.
Here's hoping to a better H trip the next time!!

Actually - I hadn't heard of buffalo being produced recently, so it does sound fishy, but I know the GP I saw wasn't clemence - I guessed togo before my SA corrected me.
