Not surprisingly, Sèvres also has a long queue for bags, even at 5pm. So , I waited, waited and waited. It must be 5:35 ish when I finally met with her, because I literally only took 1 minute to look at her offer and decide.

She met with me and went straight to the subject. No BS. No baits. She told me that there’s 2 bags that I might like. One is a K35, Togo, black with gold hardware. Another is a K28, blue with silver hardware.

Here comes the decision! I know I like black with GHW, but it’s a 35, while the K28, is in SHW.

The first thing I said to her after hearing the offers is “I really like black with GHW but I don’t know if a 35 would work for me”. She said, yes I understand, but you can try it out to see if it works.

We went into the magic room, aka changing room [emoji28] there, she carefully unwrapped the bag and I remained speechless the whole time. The entire times, there were a million voices in my head, saying “you like classic colors” and “but you already have a K28 in black and ghw” and “K28 is the right size for you”, “but it’s in SHW”!

Your story got me hooked. Go on, please! I am at the edge of my seat.

In the end, I went with what the SA showed me first - which was the K35, Togo, black with gold hardware. Surprisingly, it didn’t look obnoxiously large on my 5’4” frame. Does it look big? Yes. But it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I happily took the K35 without even seeing the K28.

My only regret? Well it’s never seeing the K28. I don’t even know what kind of blue it was! But, as I asked to see the K28 after I paid for the K35, my SA looked for it for around 30 minutes (felt like a lifetime), and came back to tell me that it’s just been sold.

Congrats on the score! Any pics to share with us?

I'd have picked the black over any blue. Don't look back!

I’ll share pics soon. Maybe later today? Honestly I’d pick Black anytime if it’s 32 and under. But it’s a 35 [emoji28] that’s what made it such a difficult decision.

You might end up finding the size really useful for days when you have more to carry? Hope it works out and she becomes an important part of your collection. :)

Congrats...
Understand your dilemma which I went through when I was deciding between B25 etain SHW n B30 GHW noir a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, I did although I wish I could buy both
I like etain n don’t mind SHW but strangely I find B25 smaller in real life than I thought...

Hehe glad you picked the B30! It’s such a classy choice and will remain in style no matter what the latest fashion trend is.

B25 is pretty small in real life. Looks and feels a lot smaller than my K28. I usually only use it for days when I don’t have to carry anything with me (like afternoon tea or something). Not as practical as my K28.

Same here... Everyone says I should have a B25 because I'm so small but when I tried it in person, it is really way too small! More so around the handles.

When I first wore my B25 with bracelets, I’m super scared of making big scratches on the leather (esp because it’s swift!). So tight around the handles. [emoji28]
