I arrived in Paris, this morning from the US. Let me say I have no history in Paris. I have an Evelyne and a K35 which I have bought preloved. I have a couple of belts and scarves and perfume all bought online as I don’t have a store in my state. I applied yesterday for an appointment for today on both my husband and my passport. Both declined yesterday evening. As we landed this morning we applied again. We are staying in the Sofihotel on Faubourg. As the driver approached the hotel my husband pointed out the store at the end of the street. It was quiet at 10:40 am. We check in and we quickly freshen up. I ask him if I should see if they have any cancellations we are here for 3 nights before going to Ireland and then coming back for another 3 nights before heading home.
I go inside and I ask about the process and there is a lady whom is not pleasant. I ask if I can see if there are any cancellations. She directs me to the leather section and I meet this young lady and ask her. She asks me what I would be looking for and I say a Constance. She speaks with this other lady and they both approach me and the lady starts to speak me. I tell her I would like a Constance and she tells me she has a few and to follow her. She takes myself and my husband upstairs and we sit and chat. She’s super friendly and asks us about ourselves. We are originally from Ireland living in US 10 years. Then she said what colors & leathers I would like. Then she said would I wish for anything else? I said I would love a birkin 25 or 30 but I know I can only dream and I know there is probably nothing available. She asks colors I would prefer I say gold would be my dream then black.
She says ok let me see what we have.She takes us upstairs to a quiet part of the store. She has two boxes. The first is a Constance in a light blue grey color. It’s pretty but I’m curious about the other box. She tells me to close my eyes and when I look it’s a B25 in Gold clemence leather with gold hardware. I’m jet lagged and shocked still. I will post a photo when I get back to open it. There are purses available! I guess I was just extremely lucky. Excuse any bad grammar or spelling I’m seriously tired!
