What a beautiful offer, I'd take it. After reading, I thought he was going to offer you a special order lol. At my maison store a B35/40 seems a little easier to be offered than a B30 so I hope you don't have to wait too long.

oohh OP- have you considered the HAC? A friend recently got one and it looks so so good!!
I hadn't really considered it before or included it on my wishlist, but I have been looking at it more.
My only "concerns" with the HAC 40 is that it might be a little on the heavier side, and plus I don't know if the proportions (i.e. it being taller) would drive me crazy.
God, I am just a nervous wreck right now. I haven't even eaten breakfast.
I think you did the right thing in declining. Stick to what you originally want and I’m certain you’ll get it. I love Etoupe GHW - my Kelly in that combination is perhaps the most used bag.
My one and only B25 is Noir PHW. I need and want only one. Prior to being offered one in those specs, I was offered other highly sought after color combinations/sizes which I declined. Sure, I had fleeting moments of regret but in the end I’m beyond satisfied with what I do have. And I still have no desire for another B. Another K, well, that’s another story.

If I accepted the bags that are other people's dream bags I would own all pink mini bags LOL. You must stick to what YOU want.
The HAC 40 is lovely but IMO it's luggage even on a guy, unless you are quite tall. My husband is 5'9" and it's his plane carry-on. The Birkin reads more handbag...see Marc Jacobs.

Babe you’re going to get your bag. The right bag for everyone else is still the wrong bag for you. Esp now reading you’re a guy, I think you were correct to get the b35/40.I hadn't really considered it before or included it on my wishlist, but I have been looking at it more.

Sure it will feel like an eternity waiting for the next offer but when you get the bag you’ll look back and think what’s another two three months for the one that will make you truly happy.
Post here when you need moral support!
You definitely didn't make a mistake.Thanks everyone---with all the people here saying the B30 in etoupe/ghw is their "dream bag"---now I am wondering did I make a mistake?
Should I have gone with the more desirable and "scarce" bag?
I feel nauseous. Now I am really looney!!!
I only like 35's and 40's in Birkins and despite being just 5'3 and female and my SA telling me the 30 was an ideal size for me it just didn't resonate with me.
Never 'settle' because someone else says you should get it or its a scarce and popular offer.
Its good karma to turn it down and let it go to someone who has it as their hearts desire.
You WILL get the bag of your dreams and hey..at least you've proved to your SA you're not a re-seller!
Don’t second guess yourself. I have a B30 etoupe, phw, and while I like it a lot, it’s not my favorite.Thanks everyone---with all the people here saying the B30 in etoupe/ghw is their "dream bag"---now I am wondering did I make a mistake?

A B30 does fit a lot and in a lighter color, it reads as bigger, but in the end, you wanted a 35. There is a substantial difference in size, capacity, and weight.
ETA: it’s my understanding that a HAC 40 is heavier and reinforced; I seem to recall a post by @averagejoe re the HAC 40, post 10,957 and others

Yep! This is true. I used to have a Barenia B40 (now have a 35) and I think DH's Barenia/feutre HAC 40 is actually heavier than the full Barenia B40. It is way, way heavier than my B35. Again, to me, the HAC feels like luggage vs. the Birkin feeling like a "bag".
I think the HAC 32 is not built quite the same way as they don't seem so weighty.
I’ve owned a fauve barenia HAC 32 and a clemence 32, and neither was super heavy. I don’t think they were reinforced, but I did carry multiple bottles of wine in my barenia HAC. But honestly these days a 35B is plenty heavy for me.
You did not do the wrong thing by rejecting it. My first b was a 35 and my second two are 30s. As much as I love my 30s, my 35 is my FIRST love. It is also the original size and can carry a ton. (I still carry about four small items, but it is nice to know that I can carry a coat in there, if I wish.) Birkins are tote bags, so start with a 35 or 40. You won't regret it at all! Then, if you love the tote, pick up a 30 somewhere down the line.
Such wise words, from such a caring authority...I'm applauding, as one is wont to do when you speak, dear!
When it comes to H, patience is the key. You did the right thing, don‘t waste a quota or money on something that won’t satisfy your ask.
Fun thread to read.
I agree with the majority of people here, don't settle for something you don't want. You will end up spending so much time trying to convince yourself to like the bag you didn't want, and you will always want the bigger size.
