I’m in the middle of a debate here and then I stumped into the post above. Beautiful bag! This past Thursday my lovely SA offered me a K28 in gold Clemence with ghw. My number one bag, before any other, is a K28 black or etain or graphite. As far as leather togo or Epsom. I’m kind of obsess with black purses. I only owned a B35 in black Epsom. I’m more of a shoulder bag person so I was excited about this offer. I can see myself using this bag a lot. The bag is a dream but I’m scare of it loosing shape although I don’t carry much. I have until Monday to decide. H fairies are dancing around me. This offer came 5 months after the B. What are your thoughts? Here are some picsView attachment 4186584View attachment 4186585

If it’s on your list, you can get it, and just get your number one bag later. It’s OK to buy them out of order. The bag is beautiful and you’ve indicated you’ll wear it a lot, so I think you should get it. It will wear with time, but I don’t think lose its shape too much.

Completely agree with not needing to buy things in order! My “plan” for my first Birkin was black or Etoupe... when my gorgeous Rose Poupre was offered to me. I had the same hesitation... I knew I loved it, but it wasn’t my “plan”. Thankfully my SA is amazing, and said to me- I can get you Etoupe and Black, but I can’t promise I can get you “this” bag again... and I then quickly readjusted my priorities. Buy what you love, regardless of order or “plans”, because let’s be honest, the god of Hermes laughs at such plans, lol! Good luck with your decision!

Agree! The Gold wasn’t in my wishlist. My closet is full of black handbags. I recently started thinking I have to integrate more color or a bag that can be use for casual looks. So when my SA offered this option I started thinking. It never crossed my mind this combination. I went to my closet and immediately saw it can work with lots of options. I’m not afraid to decline this offer. My SA values the relationship we have built in a very short time and he wanted to offer me this great bag. I just don’t want to pass on this great selection and then regret it.

Didn’t see it yet, my SA said they’re expecting one and she asked me if I’m interested.

I guess I have to wait to see it, I’m hesitating coz of Novillo leather, I thought the body would be chevre like the black Birkin touch

My B30 black touch is novillo. It is my second novillo birkin. I highly recommend this lovely leather. It highly recommend the leather...wish I had been offered the blue, though.

This is such a beautiful piece, i have K28 in clemence. Used very often in the last 2 years. Didn’t lose shape at all. If you can have an insert that will help.

To me this decision is about a cold neutral versus a warm neutral. Gold definitely goes with a lot of things as a warm neutral. Would another neutral suit you better - like Gris asphalt? I can think about things all I want but I always know how a color makes me feel - if it speaks to me then I go with it. You’ll make the right decision.
