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.

Sharing my success story here! I am so happy because since 3 years ago, every year we go to Paris, we always return with bag(s)!

This time we were not specifically looking for a bag, just browsing through fine jewelry section at Sevres. Our SA was so nice and fun to talk to. It was Saturday near closing time and he kindly asked us to take more time to think about the fine jewelry piece since it’s really expensive and he doesn’t want us to regret purchasing it. He went to the back to meet the SM and informed us he can hold the jewelry until Monday end of day.

Monday afternoon we texted him and returned to Sevres to purchase the jewelry. Lo and behold, it was mistakenly sold to another customer and it was the last piece they have globally (because it’s a limited edition piece. Looking at us disappointed, he asked if there’s anything else we would like to get.

I mentioned I am looking for constance slim in either rouge h / rouge sellier color and he immediately checked the stock and he returned only with one box of constance slim in gold. I asked my SA if he has any wallet (even Calvi is fine) with rouge h / rouge sellier color, but he said no. I debated it for awhile with my husband and ended up saying okay because gold is neutral.

Then my SA mentioned, let me try something for you… He went back for around 10-15 minutes (we’re sipping champagne while waiting for him) and he returned with a bigger box. I gasped because I know it’s a bag!

He opened the box and showed me the most beautiful bag I have ever seen… K25 sellier in rouge H chevre with brushed gold hardware. It comes with SO stamp so I assumed the person who requested the SO rejected the bag? Anyway it means my win!!!

omg omg omggg

In my culture, we call this fate. I'm incredibly happy for you, and I also feel hopeful for myself as I'm also looking at Rouge H items too. Lol.

We're also coming to Paris in June to buy an apartment. Honestly, I've already found an apartment I like, but it seems impossible for us to reserve it until then. Yesterday, I said maybe it won't be sold, and my husband said if it's not sold, there must be something wrong with it. And I replied,

- If it's not sold, then it must be my destiny.

So, this So is entirely your destiny. Enjoy it!

Congratulations - it’s a beautiful bag! As it is an SO did it have a different interior lining colour too? I’m considering this combo for an SO order - would you say this is an accurate picture of the colour or is it one of those chameleon colours that can appear a different shade in different lighting?

Thank you! Yes this is verso, comes with orange interior. I would say this is one of H chameleon colors, very dependent on lighting. But rouge H is really beautiful and you won’t regret it!

what a lovely story with a beautiful ending. I'm also curious about the LE jewelry piece. May I ask what it was? I'm always super interested in Hermes FJ and watches.

My SO is very similar, if that helps! It's bigger, a K28, Rouge H chevre with rouge de coeur inside, and BGHW. I ordered it in 2020 and received it in 2022.

Stunning 😍 thank you for sharing! I’m going to order this in a B30 but it’s super helpful to see the colour in Chèvre with the BGHW. I’m very excited to order now after seeing these fab bags 😊
