Hi ladies!! My story is similar- I was visiting my SA last Thursday to buy a gift (I had my eye on a magnifying glass in the shape of an eye) and a Behapi bracelet and to discuss my Wish List. I expressed an interest in heritage leathers at that time and my SA invited me to come in for the event this week. I thought nothing of it, zero expectations, and was excited to return to see/learn whatever I could. I went in yesterday and was offered the most fabulous B35 in Fauve Barenia- it took my breath away. I’m still pinching myself. I have a B30 in Ebene Barenia Faubourg so I’m feeling whole in the Birkin department. Next on the list is a Heritage leather K28 or 32. The funny thing is I really have developed a love for the brand. I have a few home items, a tray here and there, a cashmere throw, that I cherish, too. The shoes are also amazing, imho. I’m going to try some RTW next, I’m a curvy, athletic type so not sure it it’ll be a fit, but maybe I’ll love that too?! I guess I went in with a destination in mind and turns out I’m really enjoying the journey. Thanks for letting me share my joy and surprise!!
Yay congrats! Can you share photos of both your birkins? Would love to see :)
 
Awww they’re both gorgeous! How do you feel about the size 35?

I knew I definitely wanted one in my collection. I had a very Dark Blue, nearly black (I’m blanking on the color name) Chèvre B35 that I sold a few years ago when smaller bags became more popular and I miss it so much. I still regret selling that one. I like the proportions of the 35 a lot. I’m 5’7” with broad shoulders and an athletic build so I think some of the small bags look silly on me. I will say that the amount of beautiful leather on the Fauve 35 makes it all the more stunning. I can’t keep my hands off it!!:drool:

Your Fauve is a dream! Congrats again on your beautiful offer. Thank you for sharing your story, photos and thoughts on the 35 :)
 
I told her I would buy you a gift from my trip and she very much stopped me
They can only accept food as gifts. Food is an easy way to get your SA to remember you. It’s important for your SA to remember you if you want them to watch out for your wish list. In SF the spend in my experience is 2:1 or slightly less if you buy ready to wear and there is a lot of competition so it’s important to stand out.

I want a 35 as my next bag. It’s a great size for work. I work in tech so I always have my Mac Book Pro with me and it doesn’t fit in my 25s or 30s. I think 35 would be a great size but they are hard to get because they aren’t as popular.
I love my togo B35. So easy to tote around and it fits everything. Although I recently learned the hard way not to leave my sangles in the holders…it causes scratches!!
