Podium Orders for 2009

[Hermesaholic]

Are podium order information only available to frequent customers? Or can we ask them what they will have for the year? Thanks

depends on your relationship with your SA and the store. Basically podium is where the stores place their orders for the season and they decide what they order--the SA's then put people's names down for items --so if they order 20 black togo birkins there are probably 20 names down next to them with back ups

I tried to place an SO a few months back for a black box birkin and after a while got a call from my SA who told me that Paris was not accepting SO's for black box birkins.

HP2 really? Did they say a reason why? I know that Box Birkins are now SO but I wonder why its has been turned down?

WOW, I lucked out then! My store SO'd it for me late 07 and I got it in July 08. Here are pics my box baby:

I am not sure why it got turned down except to say they were not accepting orders for this particular type of Birkin.
They did accept an order for an exotic skin.

Wow! That's amazing! Who knew there would be a day where it would be easier to get an exotic birkin before a box piece! Thanks HP2 I can't wait to see your SO!!!

FSH was accepting SOs for box birkins in Dec '08. Could they be reserving the skin for people who order at FSH directly due to a supply shortage?

my order for a 40 HAC in box was blocked as well.

amazing that they can make 40 HACs in a lot of exotics but not in box.

Sorry Allan. Are you considering any other options at the moment? Perhaps another trip to Paris?

is this my SA too?

Yes!

 

[allanrvj]

^^ isn't she so nice? she called me, too.

 

[periogirl28]

Yes she is! She was asking me for my second and third choices. Do you think I should order a RG togo Birkin instead? Rouge H box is still my dream bag.

I don't know. It seems that we have to go to FSH to make our box dreams come true.

I changed mine from box to epsom, because that's what's available.

RG togo Birkin sounds nice but it looks so different from Rouge H box. If RG makes you happy, I don't see why you shouldn't get it.
