Thank you so much, isn't it gorgeous? I take it out of the box now and then just to admire each and every detail. I couldn't be happier...
It is indeed pure luck to find the right SM.



Thank you [emoji255][emoji255][emoji255]

Holy cannoli! I can't believe this happened. Did she get her bag back?! I hope the thieves were unsuccessful.

Can someone who has been there recently advise on how early to get there if it is a Saturday in February? Would 8:30am be too early? I am hoping for a B. I know my chances are slim as it is, but if getting there 2 hours before it opens will considerably increase my chances, I'm willing to wait in the cold. Thanks!

I saw few people lining up that early. Both times when I got the bag I lined up closer to 10am. But that could be just luck. I think somewhere closer to 9am is ideal, to be sure that you will get the appointment.

Hi ! Has anyone been successful going to FSH in the afternoon and still getting an appointment ? Or do you have to stand in line in the am in order to be able to get an appointment for that day? I heard that they don't necessarily offer al the b/k bags to the first appointment slots and that to keep it fair they save a few bags if they have them in stock for clients that have late afternoon appointments as well. Anyone have any additional insight on this?

That's terrible! Thanks for sharing the story. I was thinking of bringing my K32 as my daily bag but now I have to think twice

Just want to share my story two weeks ago because this thread is a great help to me as always.
It was my first visit after FSH started the new system so I have no idea what will happen.
I went lined up before 9 at the front door because my flight arrived very early the morning.
I think there were about 8 people ahead of me already, and when the door opened there were many people inside already. ( from side door as well)
My wish list this time is a Birkin 35 in dark colors or something neutral, or a Bolide 35 with same color options.
I got an appointment by the phone but got to see a sales promptly.
I gave him my option list and he came back with nothing, saying during fashion week the stock level is very low.
That was a shock because I completely did not know it was fashion week during that time.
So I did some shopping on the same street trying to enjoy my rest of my vacation.

The 3rd morning I woke up very early, thought maybe I can give it another try.
I went there before 9 as well and I was the 4th one at the front door.
When the door opened I think there were 15-20 people in the line ahead of me...( my thought was next time I should wait at the side door? )
A young male SA assisted me right away and leaded me upstairs asking if I need any tea or something.
Frankly speaking, I have visited FSH about 10 times, and it was the first drink offer I have ever had.
I said a hot tea will be nice due to the cold weather while I was waiting in line, and he leaded me to a private room. ( this private room experience was totally new to me as well !!)
After he brought tea to the room he asked me about my wish list ( I added Rodeo at last ) and then I waited in the room.
I was sitting there thinking if there's no bag I am fine too due to these whole new experience felt very good to me.:biggrin:
I waited about 10 minutes or so ( as always it felt like 10 hours!!!), and he came back with one big box and one small box.
When he opened the first small box, it was a Rodeo PM:heart::heart::heart::heart: ( I cannot tell how long I was looking for Rodeo..!!)
For the big box, he said he may not got the one on my wish list but he have something very special.
Inside was this beauty which I said YES YES YES like 10 time!! :nuts:
Let me introduce my new baby Birkin 35 togo in Gris Mouette outside, Bleu Agate inside with PHW :heart:

I was so happy that I also picked out twilly/scarf/bracelets to match this baby :p
It was such a nice surprise for my trip this time.
Hope my story can help everyone who is looking for their dream bag :angel:

Congrats on your lovely bag. Is the Verso Birkin the same price as the regular leather Birkin?
