Thank you so much! It was love at first try, the SA was surprised since I swooped it off the rack, barely had it on, and hopped to the cashier! She didn't even need to sale the coat :smile: My husband said that I could mature with this coat... I guess the cost per wear makes sense to him:biggrin:

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

No bag today! However, we met another lovely SA, whom we got a long great chatting with. He even made some recommendations for different pastry shops, in fact, we're sitting at one right now enjoyjng the delicious food. He gave us his card and told us that we could come back and ask for him.

Overall, even if I couldn't find my dream kelly, it was still a lovely experience today as we felt so warm and welcomed by his friendliness and hosptiality, and not just another "person looking for Kelly".

Hi ladies.
Here is my story:
I arrived in Paris on Saturday morning and didn't venture over to FSH until Tuesday.
1st day: Tuesday, I queued up at 9:15 and got any appointment for 1:15pm. At the time of my appt, I met an absolutely lovely and very pretty SA. I got down to business andasked her for a neutral-colored Kelly in size 28/32. Unfortunately, she didn't have anything to offer me. We chatted for a little bit about the new system, this year new colors, and the high demands for Kelly/Birkin. Afterward, I thanked her for her time and trouble, and just before we left, she gave my friend and I her card. She told us to come again tomorrow morning and asked for her.
2nd day: Wednesday, I lined up again. When it was time to schedule an appointment, I ask the hostess specifically for my previous SA. The scheduler called the SA on her phone and and went ahead giving my a 2:20 slot. I then went over to the scarf section to buy a scarf for my mother and just about to pay, my SA showed up. I was so surprised since I thought she couldn't see me until much later. I felt very fortunate! She then brought me into a private room and asked me to wait for her. I was flabbergasted that she even remembered my name and my choices with the sheer volume of people she see everyday at FSH.
Ten minutes later, she came back with a large box, a 32, black Kelly, PHW in swift leather. I tried on the bag, but didn't like the bag at all. The color looked a bit dull to me so I turned it down. My awesome SA agreed at the bag was not for me and told me to wait again to see what she could find. Five mins later, she came back with three boxes:
1: 35 kelly Etain
2: A 32 red kelly
3: And this beauty20161208_002614.jpg
I gasped when I saw the bag. I felt so lucky to have met awesome SA and was able to buy this bag. Thanks and good luck to all on your bag hunt!
