It’s roughly twice the price of a normal Birkin but then I am in SG. USD 22K sounds about right.
SO, I got to go see my HG! My heart sank a little and I need some advice. As I mentioned earlier this is a “soft” offer. It’s mine if it lasts until Monday due to the quota. When my SA pulled Ms. HG out of her sleeper, she was slouchier than I prefer. I have had luck getting bags straightened out, but wanted the expert advice of all you lovelies. Is this normal? Anyone get a bag like this and have it straighten with some use? Can I fix it through proper storage? I looked inside and it just seemed like the air pillows had lost their air and the bag wasn’t getting much support. I’ve waited 2 years for this exact bag.... should I take her if the offer becomes firm? 
What size and color is it? B30 Togo malachite? I wouldn't count on it getting firmer though an insert may help.
Hi, I got it from Hong Kong Hermes shop, the price is about $180k, thanks
What a predicament!! Personally, I would pass on the bag even if it is my HG. Seeing your HG for the first time should make your heart skip a beat- you said your heart sank a little so it clearly didn't meet your expectations. H works in mysterious ways. I think your true HG will still arrive even if you decline this one! I think malachite is coming back as I was just offered one a few weeks ago too.
It’s so HARD! I prefer no veins, this one had none. It’s my exact specs. My luck the next one would be missing one or more of my preferences AND possibly be slouchy. All but one B35 I have been offered looked slouchy in the box. I only have one, and I was able to get it straightened out through storage, but it’s BF not Togo. Luckily/unluckily I have until a Monday to decide.
Can you try out the H bag insert in the store and see how that affects the slouch? I would try that. I would also take the stuff that I plan to place in the B and you’ll see that it will straighten up somewhat. But like acrowcounted states, if it’s togo it might not straighten up much. If I were in your shoes, I would prioritize that it has no veins which would be higher on my list than slouch, since it’s difficult to select the exact leather that is being used to fabricate a B. I would focus on getting the bag and it sounds like it might be up for grabs by someone else this wknd. I would take it if it were offered to me. Good luck and it’s a fabulous decision to make !!!

If it’s a B35 in Togo leather, that slouch is so normal it reminds my B35 in etoupe. The question is whether you are comfortable with that kind of slouch bearing in mind that it will get slouchier over time. Lovely bag. I will take it.
Yes, B35 togo. The only other B35 I have is Barenia Faubourg and when I got it, it also had some slouch. I use triangle shaped pillows for stuffing and my BF straightened right up and has NO slouch at all now. Just wanted to make sure this was not something I should be wary of. I was offered one other B35 in Craig and it had a finer grain and was much straighter than this one. Thank you for letting me know its normal!
wow, that is a tough one!
I would also try it in the boutique with a bag insert to see whether it reduces the slouch. I also agree that your HG should make you feel excited, not concerned or worried about what might happen. I know how difficult it is with H when you are really particular about what you want (leather, HW, no veins, little slouch and the like), believe me, I am right there with you. But at this price point I truly feel that you should buy with 100% confidence.
Good luck whatever your decision may be. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Getting a B35 in togo or clemence with no slouch at all will be a tough order. I used a samorga felt organizer with my B35 and that helped with providing structure. It was a trade off because I felt the organizer created pressure along the sides of the bag. I’ve switched to B30s since then and that has been no slouch at all. Love the look of a 35 though!
Hi, this happened to me also in my favorite combo! So I could not say No! Unfortunately, it just got worse even I tried so much to point that I sold it after 8 months because it literally look like a 5 years old bag, luckily I sold it for same price I had bought it but still it was a loss ,you know what I mean- I know it is so so hard but it is just gone get worse ! Sorry but I have to be honest, also, make sure to check how it is open because mine look much more better than yours closed
Good luck
