I would like to buy my first clutch and I want it to be from Hermes. I have tried on the Medor, Egee and Jige and found them to be smaller than what I pictured in my head when I saw them in person (Jige was a nice size for me, even though it was smaller than I imagined). I have always loved the medor, but since they only make the 23 now, I find that this size might be a bit too small for my stature (5'7"). I want an H clutch that I can take from day to night and am thinking about doing one in a neutral color (black, etoupe, trench), blue (agate, izmir, marine), or a bright red (vermillion, casaque, vif). I recently have taken a liking to the pliplat for it's larger size, presumably comfortable handle and chic understated look. My questions is, have you found it hard to locate clutches (pliplat in particular) at your H stores? I was offered a medor in rouge vif and egee in blue izmir the other week at my home store, but found the medor a bit small and the egee wasn't the perfect leather/hardware combo, so I left empty handed. Might be kicking myself for letting go of the medor, but it did not make my heart sing like I thought it would. I think I would definitely take home a neutral pliplat and was wondering how common/rare those are to find in store in the US?
I will also be visiting the Beverly Hills store for the first time this weekend and will be asking for Camille since I have heard many good things about her from this forum and from reviews of that store. Is it worth stopping by and asking for a pliplat/medor/egee at this location if I do not have a relationship with any of the SAs yet? Or am I better off sticking to my home store that has limited stock compared to Rodeo Dr? I also don't want to upset my current SA at my local store by buying something in LA. It's just that I will be in the area this weekend and have heard the stock is much larger than at SCP. I've also heard the treatment is better than at SCP, but I have seen mixed reviews about both locations so I take that with a grain of salt. TIA!
