thanks for your reply! I much prefer 1 SA! i think it might be easier to get THE bag when accumulating purchases with the same SA
Milan has a good range of Evelynes and usually so does florence, I haven't visited the other stores so am not sure but Milan store is larger and has more inventory than Florence, good luck!
Hehe i got my Evelyne!!! Even the color i was dreaming for!! The SA was absolutely lovely, very helpfull and sweet. She even asked me if i was looking for a B or K after i tried in the different Evelyne. For this Time i was just happy with the Evelyne so i declined.
A lot of Asian were in the store asking about B/K and some of them were also very aggressive. A lady was waiting that I was over with the Evelyne to grab it from me. The security guy asked her to leave the store immediately [emoji15].
Anyway I had a very nice time there. Reveal is soon [emoji6]

I was in Naples and Rome last week. I can only speak profoundly about those stores. I was looking for a Kelly in Red... I have my eyes set on either Rouge Tomate or Rouge Casque in 32. Naples offered me one in Rouge Grenate, which I didn't like at all on me. The colour was dull and didn't suit me at all... Rome on the other hand turned out to be a great surprise. They had a very good stock, and appeared to have several kelly's. The SA offered me a Kelly in RT, but it was the wrong size unfortunately, 28 instead of 32. I tried it on, but as I'm a tall woman it's too small for me... I guess never give your hopes up...

Please tell us more. Are you a regular? Or did they offer it to you as a walk in? Did you purchase anything before they offered you the K? Which store in Rome had better stock? I'll be heading there next month. Thanks!
Dear Maddie11,
I'm not a regular in either of those boutiques. I happened to be lucky and unlucky at the same time I guess. I happened to be in Naples, because my sister in law is from there. We stopped by Hermés just because my nephew wanted to get a pair of black Izmir sandals for himself. The Sales Assistant complimented me on my feu Evelyn and orange Click H bracelet, and we started to have a chat. I told her that I was looking for my next bag and wanted this to be a red kelly. She asked me to be more specific, and I told her I wanted it to be a 32 and didn't really much care about which hardware... while my nephew was at the cash desk paying for his sandals, I was kindly seated in the back of the store. The sales assistant asked me to wait there while she was going downstairs to the stock room to get something I may like. She offered me a 32 Kelly in Rouge Grenade. I tried it on, but passed as it wasn't the right colour for me. I left my contact details and was told that they will contact me as soon as another one in my colour preference would come in...
In Rome, I went inside the boutique in Via Condotti with my Nephew. He wanted to look for a wallet and bag for himself but they didn't have what he was after. We were both wearing items from Hermes that day, and one thing led to another and the sales assistant complimented us on our taste in Hermes Items and we started to chat. My nephew told her about me looking for a new bag and she kindly asked us to wait for her at the leather department while she was looking in the stock room if there were any Kelly's in my colour preference. I was lucky! She came back with a box and my excitement grew as she said she had one in Rouge Tomate, but it turned out to be a 28. I still decided to try it on, so that I could see if the colour was right or not. She told me that she also had a 32 in Feu, but I declined as I already have a Birkin and Evelyne is this shade of orange. She took down my details and said she would call me as soon as my colour preference would come in.
In all honesty, as a tourist in Rome if you're not Italian your chances are very low to score any of those coveted bags. The reason why I'm telling you this, is because while I was walking out of the store I overheard a couple of tourists enquiring about a Kelly. They were told by the sales assistant that they had none in the stock room which wasn't true as they just offered two to me... I'm Italian though living abroad. Naples on the other hand is worth a try. They offer their bags to walk ins. I saw a french lady, who wasn't a regular being offered a Birkin 30 and also another member here got offered a Kelly last year from Naples... so if you happen to pass by this boutique, pop in and you might get lucky!

Florence and Campo Marzio (light pink GM when I was there in August) has them on display and for sale. Via Condotti has them on display but not for sale. Florence and Rome boutiques dont offer a good variety of bags for sale to non-locals unless you're spending big bucks.
For more variety try the Naples boutique. Always a full case of bags for sale when I visit. Capri had two PM in orange and black.
