PART 3 (finale)

Our Eurostar to London was leaving at 5:15pm this day (Friday 6/7), so my 6:20pm appt would not work out. DH at this point was also tired and done with H! But he was sweet enough to allow me to return to FSH to ask for a change of time slot. I promised him I would leave the store right away if they said no (vs shopping around more). We got to the concierge at FSH right before noon, the lady at the concierge requested that I show her proof of my ticket and I complied with showing her my e-ticket. A few moments later she informed me that I could be accommodated and would be next in line! While waiting we browsed the wallet area, and I was shocked to discover a silk’in compact wallet in Etoupe with equateur print interior! The SA managing the area was suprised too as she had never seen a neutral with equateur print before. Needless to say I took it!

We were assigned with a very nice French SA right around 12:30, she went straight to the point and asked how she could be of help. I asked for Constance this time and was interested in more unique leathers, in neutral colors. Our SA asked if she could get us anything else and I was honest with her saying I already purchased a Birkin this season and a Constance would be so great to have, she saw my GT b25 and complimented the bag, and so off she went. This time the wait was super long... perhaps almost 30 mins? The store was extremely crowded probably due to many SAs were off to lunch and people were waiting around for help. Our SA finally returned to us with a box in hand and we were lead to the 3rd floor that was marked “private”, and we sat on the 2 chairs by the window. She apologized for taking such a long time due to very sparse selection but she was so happy to find something she thought I would appreciate. She opened the dust bag and there she was, C18 in box leather in black with GHW!! The scent of this Leather was simply intoxicating and by DH was so excited for me to have been offered such a unicorn.

Overall this was by far the most successful experience in Paris, despite still having had to jump through several hurdles and approaching the situation in unconventional ways, everything paid off!

Congrats on all ur lovely Bags... I got myself a b25 during my visit last month too. The SA actually wrote me his name on the card but no email. I was wondering if I go back next year now I can email him? Or if get an appt do we request the same SA ?

Great bags! Did they have any 24/24s on display? What size is yours? My store often has the 2002, the roulis etc on display, but not the 24/24.
