Thank you and I felt the same way. So I will wait for the next offer although that means I miss out on my qb quota this year. (Still better than getting a bag that I don't really like)

Update- I got the desert ombre constance- it is a work of art. H is quite the slippery slope... especially once you graduate to the exotics! It seems that exotics are in the offering right now so if anyone as ever thought they might want one, it might be the time to ask.
I totally think you made the right decision. I am not a fan of the pattern either! I would have turned it down if offered, with no regrets or second thoughts. Not the bag for me/you, leave it for someone who will love and cherish it!
Thank you!! Now I feel better
turning down an offer is never easy (for me anyway) since my local store is so competitiveI totally understand, on the other hand no should fork over 10-15K for a bag that I don't like, just to keep a relationship. There will be other offers.Thank you!! Now I feel better
I also understand the subtle pressure an SA can put on you. I shop at multiple stores so I have SA's with different styles. One of them is definitely more along the pushy side. If I turn a bag down the response will be along the lines of "I don't know when you will get another offer. Stock is very limited and it is very competitive to get these bag offers for you. If you turn this down you may have to wait for a long time. I want you to be happy but my manager will not be happy that you turned this down." All probably true and it does make you wonder and fret over turning a bag down. Ultimately if it is not something you want then the only reason you would purchase would be to foster goodwill..... that is a toxic relationship.
Don't feel bad! Breathe a sigh of relief. Someone else will love the bag and everyone is happy.

I declined the same bag at FSH last week. Don't worry about it being a LE either, I have done that many times. I also declined a Dechainee C24 in Black, a couple of Horizon bags, Ebene smooth Barenia B25 and other more unusual bags like Croc MK20s all at FSH, which I have conveniently chosen to forget. The right bag (offer) will find you and you will know immediately.
I wonder why the SM will not be happy... as I assume hermes has no problem selling a BKC. On another note, I also wonder if someone else also turned down that bag as it doesn't have the plastic wrap on it anymore...
The SM does not care, we all know that. It is my understanding that SA's do get commission on Constances. I believe they may get commission on certain LE items, thus trying to push from the SA. They may benefit because they will get commission on that item but may not if you purchase a regular B/K.
I read somewhere on this forum that H was moving away from plastic wrap due to environmental concerns. My offer in August was not plastic wrapped.
This piece of information explains a lot of what I was being offered before I stepped away from my home store.
I was wondering why I was being offered exotics/LE in constance and being told that I shouldn’t turn it down because there may not be anymore offers.
It’s all a game, and honestly I think it’s terrible to make people fear angering their SA or SM, because they don’t want to drop massive amounts of a money on a bag they may not like.
Glad I got off that hamster wheel, and am now spending my money elsewhere.
Back to topic, B and K are definitely out there, just maybe not for a certain person. Lol!
Same with me. I got my bag in August. There was just a small white piece of paper around the orange box. But the SA said that it was new and that nobody else saw it. The hardware of the bag though still had a film/plastic wrap on it.

i just got my bag last Friday (18/11). No plastic. Just a brown strip of paper round the box. I was told it's new. There was another table unboxing a picotin. The box was wrapped with plastic.
