Share your 2022 bag offers!

Thanks for your answer. I quoted this as the question was relevant but it was actually concerning my own HSS that I was offered a few days ago (that I plan to see in person and purchase tomorrow). I asked my SA if it was another client's SO that was denied then she said it was not a client SO. I was wondering if she just made it up (to make me feel better) or if it actually happens that the boutique does their own SO for their inventory. FYI the bag I was offered is a neutral combo so it could actually be the boutique SO (as I think neutral colours are easier to sell)

Yes, it could be either. Likely you’ll never know the truth for certain (as I agree, I doubt an SA would openly admit the bag was rejected) but she’s likely telling the truth as I think refusals, especially for bags that are still “on trend”, are pretty rare.

So true My SA has been very nice to me, although I am not a VIP or anything, so I will just take her words and believe in that. I will anyway get to see it in person and inspect it before purchasing. So looking forward to it.

For what it's worth, I have a store HSS. The SM ordered that combo herself and explained it to me during the offer. It also has a special internal mobile phone pocket which was offered during a few short SO seasons and I think she wanted to try that out.

If it doesn’t make you delighted immediately I don’t think I’d get it

This ^ absolutely! Trust your first instinct

Honestly, I don’t think your SA would make that up bc there is certainly someone else if you decline.

I trust my SA far more than random posts from those who may not have my relationship or know my circumstances

That is so very interesting. What were the other specs than the mobile phone pocket if you do not mind sharing?

I was more generally interested to know if H boutiques do their inventory SOs. I am rather new to the H world so a lot of things that are new to me

I was offered 2 bags in beton as I requested for a small bag in off white.
P18 ghw - passed
24/24 mini ghw - passed
Wondering if I've made a wrong decision on the 24/24 mini. Photo attached

Does mauve pale b25 come in ghw and phw? Yours looks like ghw

It's PHW

Would you feel bad though if it was declined by another client if it's in the specs that you want? My SA offered me a declined SO bag in the color and leather that I wanted. She explicitly told me it was declined because it came in a different leather than ordered - togo instead of chevre. I happily took it.

It was my first thought that it would always be stuck on my mind that there was this someone who configured the specs for herself and later changed her mind hence I have the bag instead of that person. It was not originally meant for me. But my BH said that if I liked the bag, only was I lucky enough to get it allocated as it is a special bag that not many people come across with, if you buy in a secondary market you pay even more premium, and you saved many years you could have spent waiting for that kind of bag … there were a lot of positive sides to it.
I only hope that some day I will get an invitation for a HSS myself

Initially I thought it is X9 （mauve sylvestre). This is the 1st B25 in mauve pale I have seen. So pretty!

 

[supermommy101]

It's PHW

Would LOVE to see your pictures wearing it in day light. Also do you mind sharing your country location?

I wanted Mauve Sylvestre originally, but Mauve Pale arrived instead. I'm glad it went this way actually, because I always dreamed of Rose Sakura and Mauve Pale is pretty similar.

Here's a pic of the bag in day light, haven't taken any OOTD but will definitely next time.
I'm based in Germany.

It looks a lot better in a b25 than the Calvi I got in mp. The Calvi was disappointing.. Most likely sending it back!!

I was offered a Birkin Rose Sakura 25 at the beginning of April then my SA offered me a kelly crochet in ostrich (pink) and I did not get it because I was expecting a mini Kelly then at the beginning of November he offered me a Birkin 30 in Mauve and I wasn’t sure of getting it but he told me that he wasn’t going to get any quota bag till next year so I got it
