malish, sale was end of January, 4 days only, offsite, no Kelly bags in sale.
costa, can't wait to read/see about your Paris trip! i had a blast there... both boutiques were an experience for me. my first time at GV and i liked the low key quiet ambience very much because it made it fun for me to explore and pick out what i liked. at FSH it was kinda like being in a tourist spot, a cross say between a museum and a zoo. i had the opportunity to sit for about 40 minutes (waiting for someone) and just watch what was going on at the handbag counters... quite amusing i must say! in particular i remember this one lady trying to choose between 2 birkins, going back and forth in the mirror, looking at them side-by-side on the counter, taking input from her SO (the SA was patient/smart enough to just smile and wait it out), i'm not kidding this took over 20 minutes. and did i mention what the 2 birkins were? both 40 black taurillon with ghw!!!
then there was the american lady who kept asking the same question, "any barenia?" and finally she left saying she'd return. i did see her return before i left, and i can just guess what she returned to ask!
of course there are the fun ones shopping for their anniversaries...
the place was busy the entire time i was there, with only very brief moments without customers trying on and buying Birkins. i wonder what it would be like in there if just the Birkins were sold at a different shop...
i did have a chance to peek at the computer screen with the stock listed and i can tell you that on the wednesday late morning that i was there, there were more than a few Birkins back there!
now to your Kelly... like
mooks (who was in town at the same time), i did not see any 40s on display, except in the window i believe. so just ask! you may find it too big anyway, and i expect they will still have 35s in varoius leathers and colors. oo good luck and again, can't wait to find out how it goes for you,
cara.
Just kidding! I only asked the SA twice about barenia
