Story 2/2
During my first appointment I asked if Constance is a quota bag and if I could get another, my lovely SA advised that I could get another if I wanted to as Constance is not a quota bag so I kept on trying for appointments. As I mentioned we were travelling as a family so i could use the other passports within the family too to register - unfortunately everyone was rejected except me.
I decided to visit FSH on jan 11th for a cancellation. We arrived 20 minute before the store closing time and there were no cancellations for that day however a lady asked me to go back and check again on Saturday morning jan 12th. I went upstairs that Friday to purchase a pair of sandals I have always wanted and i was served by a lovely woman in the shoes department, she made recommendations of the sizes and styles that suit me so I took it just before the store closed. As we were chatting (I had no intention of asking her to help me), my mum explained how she had been denied everytime and we leave Paris on Monday morning. My footware SA immediately told us to go back and see her on Saturday morning at 1030 and she will apply to the bags manager to help us. We were extremely grateful of her kindness as we did not expect her to do that.
On Saturday morning various trains and metro lines were closed due to the riots so we finally made it to the store just before 11. We explained our preferences as mum and I share our bags. Our first preference was a b30 in dark neutral classic colours in Togo wth ghw. Our SA explained that On Saturdays they do not receive any deliveries so all the stock are left over from the previous week therefore it is extremely difficult to secure a classic colour. She proceeded to ask if we would be interested in other colours and I explained that we would consider colours in K25/28.
K25/28 is actually my first preference but given I just bagged a c I decided to put mums preference first, which is a birkin.
She took us to a large “little dark room” upstairs and went off to check the stock. By this time we were already pleased with the service. The room we were in appeared to be where they tailor make and measure suits for men so it was extremely spacious and comfortable. We waited for about 15 min and she came back with an orange box.
She said: “I am surprised I found this as this is a unicorn piece and the only classic dark colour In the stock room, I grabbed it before anyone else could.”
When she said unicorn I thought uh oh is it some special design that we wouldn’t like because mum and I both prefer classic pieces.
She continued to explain: “it is size 30 and it is in Togo and it is the highly sought after black colour but I could not find anything in ghw” my heart just sank as phw just don’t make our hearts sing. Before I finished thinking in my head she said “but it is not in PHW either as it is in RGHW”!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
Rghw is actually my most fav hardware option but for some reason I actually forgot to mention this when she asked me what our preferences were [emoji23].
Mum was pretty happy too she tried it on then I tried it on and of course it was a no brainer to take this baby home. Here she is!
Thank you all for reading my blah blah blah, even though I did not acquire the Kelly that I came for I am still beyond happy for these two pieces offered to us and of course the excellent service we received at the mothership.
TIA!
