I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.
 
I went back to the store to get the SA business card but was told by the hostess they don’t have carda. I asked well various other locations do have them- then I was able to ask the SA directly and she said the only email is the one for customer service and they don’t have individual cards or contact info.

Then how do repeat customers get In Touch with their respective SA’s at this location?
I got a business card from my SA and she wrote her email address on it so I can contact her directly next time.

Wow! Congrats! This color is so adorable. Could you please share the specs?
 
I would love to get a alligator birkin for my mother’s birthday next year, I am planning to visit the store in Jan 2020, can any of your lovely ladies give me some tips? I have some history in FSH even managed to get an appointment last year, but this time when it comes to exotics skin I don’t know how to play the game.
 
Apologies for the lighting here but some photos! The color is pretty hard to capture.

I just realized that the B30 that I was offered at FSH also has a horseshoe. Maybe I was just too excited about the offer that I did not even realize the heat stamp. I couldn't find anything that is different from my other B30 and found your post. I guess the leather must be really special for the craftsman to use this special stamp. Wish he/she uses a different color stitching to make it even more special.

Is that etoupe? You got another bag offered too?
 
That etoupe belongs to another TPFer who as offered a horseshoe B35. Mine is a B30 in Blue Electric and I just noticed that there is a horseshoe. There is no other feature in the bag to make it a special SO. I wonder why the craftsman would choose that stamp. Anyone?
I was once offered a single-colour etoupe horseshoe K25 and I was told it's because of the permabrass hardware.
