It's a doozy. I've managed to buy one only by compulsively refreshing whenever I have a spare minute. They get added at random times throughout the day and sell out within minutes of being listed on the site; I'm sort of surprised your SA suggested to try there. Was this someone you've purchased from before? If not, it might be a canned line given to "cold callers" via the phone. I would have thought you'd actually have better luck with regular visits to an H boutique mentioning that you'd like a mini Evie to an SA you have a relationship with--my boutique is a 5 hour drive, so I don't get to visit often, but recently both times I visited I asked about mini Evies and they had them in stock, just not in the color I was looking for. Of course, that's in the US, so it's possible things are different.
One advantage you have is that (I think?) living in Europe you can purchase from any EU country's site and have it shipped to you, so it might be worth bookmarking a few pages and checking them on a regular rotation. Be logged into your account and have your card ready; I had a couple disappear because I wasn't quick enough checking out after adding to my cart.
Good luck! The mini really is perfect for bare necessities. Mine usually just a phone, keys, a calvi, sunglasses, and lipstick, and it works well.
Evelyne TPM in Rose Mexico! The color is so beautiful!
