I was offered:
1. Kelly Sellier 25 Anemone in Epsom PHW
2. Mini Kelly Bleu Royal Chevre GHW
3. Kelly Sellier 25 Celeste in Epsom GHW
It’s so hard to choose but my SA is telling me to get the Anemone since it’s so much in demand right now. Purple is my favorite color but I would also want a blue bag. Any thoughts?

Anemone for sure, as Celeste is a beautiful color but Hermes does come up with different blues every year. So, if you miss out on Celeste, you might find another one very close to 'Celeste' color.
But Bleu Royal is my favorite blue though....so, not an easy choice.

Yes, thank you so much for your advice. I’ve been wanting a purple and a blue bag for awhile. It’s unfortunate that I got offered the two colors I wanted at the same time. Have you seen the bleu royal? Not sure if it’s too dark for a mini K.

Have you seen them in person? I would definitely ask to see them if you can. Also, anemone and bleu electrique are top of my list! Maybe a consideration is whether it's more likely for anemone or bleu royal to become unavailable sooner. Is anemone in active production? I know bleu royal is one of this year's seasonal colors. Might be a consideration. But also, MK in chevre, wow!

Congrats on your offer! I have a box C18 and love it to bits. Yes, it is more prone to scratches but over time they seem to blend in and definitely are not as noticeable. You'll know when you see the bag but box is such a special leather and one that gets better with time and use IMO :)

I’ve been offered my first Birkin, a 30 Sellier, box leather in black with gold hardware! Going to see it Wednesday and so excited, but nervous about box leather! Can anyone let me know what it’s like and if you use it often because of the leather?

I hope this works as I’m not especially tech savvy, but there’s a wealth of knowledge in this forum about box leather. This thread might give you a good start.

Beautiful with black outfits. With blue being my favorite color, I don't think I can reject any blue Birkins hee hee.
Celeste looks great on you (and my sister's name is Celeste...that is why I was afraid that if I ever get a Celeste blue, she will take it from me LOL). Congrats on your beautiful bag. love it. :-)

I just watched a youtube video on the same bag. Sadly the buyer felt regrets for taking the offer. She said the sellier style on B30 is reallllllly wide on her. She feels the leather is super stiff and scary to use bc prone to scratching and she doesn't want to baby the bag. She mentioned that her SA wouldn't even let her try the bag on due to potentially damaging/scratching it. I was shocked. Oh and the price is like 19K all in which is a lot more than the classic retourne B30 in togo (she had sticker shock).

I think box is beautiful but would not be able to enjoy a leather like that. I am not a "get a scratch and blend it in" type of girl. Especially not on a birkin as they are my grab and go totes that I do not baby.

Newbie to H!

We’re on vacation and asked to see the Evelyne 29 to see what it would look like. They had a black one with gold hardware and surprisingly, my husband offered to get it.

Is this a difficult combination to get? (I know it’s nothing compared to the B/K/C bags but when I’ve asked at various boutiques in Europe on trips, they were completely out of Evelynes (or that’s what I was told).

I’m thinking of it still but had always envisioned getting it in a tan/camel color.

if you love the black Ghw, then get it. I don’t know if it’s hard to find in these days of scarce stock, but I imagine your local SA could find one if you pass on this. If you prefer the gold/ camel color, you might want to wait for that one. At any rate, happy shopping and how nice of your DH :biggrin:
