We're off to eat some celebratory lunch, since my poor husband deserves a good meal for lining up early the last 4 days for me, and then time to dive into the big box!

Yay!! Congrats!!!! [emoji322]

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 beautyView attachment 3541837
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!

Congratulations! Blue peon is a beautiful colour!

We came back today to make an appointment with our sweet SA, and he was able to see us right away as the store opened! We were so touched that he remembered our names and what I had asked for... The longest 10 minutes happened (but we had other SAs taking as long at previous appointment, so I wasn't sure what to think...)

Then our sweet SA came back with 3 boxes, 1 square and 2 rectangular, and whispered that we should move to a more private area from the scarf counter! He mentioned that he didn't want a revolt from other clients!!!

I didn't know what could be in the rectangular boxes, but my heart was pounding!!!

Yay!!! It pays off !! Congratulations!!! [emoji898][emoji322] can't wait for the reveal ..

BTW I'm home now... [emoji8]

Here is the rest of my FSH journey!

Our sweet SA headed back to the scarf counter where we were waiting, in his hands were 1 square box and 2 smaller boxes... My heart was pounding, but didn't know what to expect. He asked us to move to the mens clothing section for privacy.

As soon as we got there, his eyes twinkled and he whispered these words slowly "I don't want too many other people to see because this is very hard to come by... I have exactly what you had asked for!". He then spelled it out "Black... Kelly... Togo..." as he slowly opened the box. Before I could even see it out of the box, I already jumped to hug him, and my husband was in disbelief "You are serious right?", my husband asked. I caught the glimpse of the bag and started hugging my SA and professed my love for him in front of my husband. I think I hugged him 3 times and said "I love you"

Without further wait, here is my Togo Retourne Noir Kelly 28 in GHW, the exact specs for every detail that I have always wanted!

Thank you to my husband for lining up early for me for last 4 days, and together with all the amazing tPF'ers for cheering me on, and last thank you to my sweet SA who said that he was so happy to make my dream of "buying the elegant Kelly bag at the one and only FSH" come true!
