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!

Yay!!! So happy for you! Was cheering for you through the entire story . Wear her in great health!

Congratulations! Both bags are beautiful!

Thank you , They met their family in My Home already

Beautiful!!! I was also looking for a B40 in FSH last June but I was unlucky, please share your experience did you specifically ask for that color? It is mostly ladies here and I haven't seen many buying B40 I wonder how much stock there is
I will try my luck again in Paris hopefully soon

I asked for Etoupe/Graphite (coz I love My Etoupe Kelly) and prefer Togo and PHW , he came with Etain but after I saw this colour on full leather ... He is perfect Boy for Me

Congrats on scoring a beautiful B40. Were you in line for two hours before it opened ? care to share your story ?

I arrived FSH at 8.45 am got 11.25 am appointment , met My SA at 12.25 pm.

doctor_top, I saw you and a couple of ladies cross the street today. I just had to tell you that your barenia ghillies is just stunning IRL.

Thank you , 1 lady She is My Sis , My Ghillies from FSH May 2013

I will follow.

Congrats!!! I love Ghillies in Barenia too. Very nice collection!

Thank you , Love Him also , always take Him to travel

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!!!

Many congrats!!![emoji253][emoji177]

I'm going to guess you got a Kelly but which color? [emoji7]

WOW tramcaro, that is simply perfect!!! Your persistence paid off, and your DH deserves a gold medal!! I have a 28 cm black sellier Kelly that I got at "our" store ages ago, and it takes my breathe away every time I take it out of the box. I am sure this bag will elicit the same response from you! Congrats, and enjoy the rest of your time in Paris!

Thank you hclubfan! It's so hard to find this at our store, and to find it in Paris at the original store makes it even more special! And I will never forget how heart-warming my SA made us feel from the first time we met him. The whole experience was magical, and as you said, it will forever be associated with each time I look at this bag
