I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.
 
So here is my story .. as everyone knows been queing for days since Friday since got here Thursday afternoon and all appointments are gone.. from Friday till Monday been in line @8:00am I'm not a morning person but for the love of Hermes will do it... met a lot of people at the que mostly same person from the previous days.. and there I met out TPF member Tramcaro and her husband .
Today is my last day I told myself this is it.. if it's meant to be, it will be or I have to accept that I can't get everything I want ..and will try try next time..
I'm from sunny California...so 33 degrees is cold for me .. lined up at 8:20 since there is an event last night maybe they won't have any delivery that early.. instead of lining 8am came in @ 8:20 hoping I can get an appointment by 12 noon or 1pmish ..

Surprisingly no appointment, I got a male SA we chatted first before going to the business .. and he asked for my passport not like the previous ones they just asked my name and last name.. and the routine he will come back.. my heart is pounding because he's taking a long time... I was waiting in the scarves section and watching the people and their gorgeous bags, different kind of leathers...

after 10 minutes or so, I saw my SA in the twilly section [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15].. oh my?? I saw 2 boxes of twillies ?? Am I having another birkin??? But I look [emoji102] it's 2 different kind so I have a hint ... [emoji2][emoji2]he said follow me... he said " I have the color that you want, gold hardware , togo, retourne , but it's 35, [emoji848]I tried it on and i liked it ... so I said yes...

Here's she is .. Miss Terre Battue
