@fice16 And @motled and @texas87:
Thanks so much for reply! In my excitement I forgot to write: Accepted B25 Noir Togo RGHW! (I think it shows in my avatar now?)

I am a direct communicator in general. I told my lovely SA from the start of my H journey in 2019 that my holy grail bag is a B25 Noir Shiny Porosus Crocodile GHW/RGHW. She had first said exotics are very hard to come by at my local store. Fast forward to now... if what my SA typed in to order an exotic quota bag is a HSS/a la carte/SO... it was the most informal process ever. Nonchalantly, SA brings in box of exotic skin color cards to the back room where we unboxed the (shrink wrapped!) B25 Noir Togo RGHW. My heart was already thumping hard for the B25 Noir Togo RGHW. Nearly sent me into AFib with the Exotics box.

It honestly sounds to me that your SA was trying to get an idea of what you might want so that the SM could consider ordering it during the next leather buy.

If it was a SO, I would be quite upset that my SA did not bring up the bi-color or verso options so that I could further customize my bag. Although in my experience, I found that my SA had a lot of joy in being able to explicitly offer an a-la-carte opportunity to me.

I agree with @corgimom11 this sounds like a podium order to me. What this means is when your SM goes to podium to place orders for upcoming season for their store (bags and everything else) among their buys will be one such bag and it will be specifically for you and not other customers at the store when it arrives. SO would be quite a different process.

I agree with @momoc and @corgimom11, I don't know why I said an SO originally. This sounds like a PO to me too.
