@Hellokattyx0x Congratulations on your engagement and a belated Happy Birthday! A beautiful bag too congratulations!Happy to share that this past weekend, I was offered 2 birkins to choose from - a Birkin Sellier 30 in Black & GHW Veau Madame which I promptly accepted and I turned down Birkin 30 in Fauve Barenia. I specifically told them a
Black or gold Birkin was my preference. I was able to get a walk in appt at FSH my first time in Paris! Greatly appreciated the SA’s I met for helping me celebrate my birthday and recent engagement

This bag looks gorgeous. Congratulations @laura_seattle!
Not sure if you actually want another mini Lindy or not but buying a non quota bag doesn’t count towards your pre-spend. However, in my limited experience, it doesn’t prevent you from getting a quota bag offer either.
I was offered a Birkin Sellier Box Calf black 35 ghw. I am truly not very familiar with the box calf leather.
Does anyone have photos of how they age? Are you glad you purchased? I tend to keep more to the more forgiving/durable leathers.
Is this an in demand bag? I am used to seeing epsom or togo.

I would say no, it is not a very in demand bag due both to its large size and relatively delicate leather. Being a sellier birkin, you won’t find any pictures of how it ages since they were only introduced a couple of years ago. The best you can do is research box leather on vintage Kelly bags to get an idea.
Thank you! I was checking the box calf page on here to get an idea of how the leather ages. It is just not a leather of theirs I have considered before. I tend to prefer the heartier ones. (I think I was mistaken and it is a 30 not 35.)
I have the Lindy 30 in Etoupe. It is one of my favorite bags as well as my favorite shades that Hermes
does in that particular tone. It goes with everything in my wardrobe from neutrals to dark colors
but if you don't want to take the chance then wait/wish for your QB.
You should love the bag & the color & as suggested above have the bag you want, be discriminating,
& be patient.. Hermes requires a lot of that..
I would not say that this is an "in demand bag" due to the choice of box leather and sellier Birkin. Things to consider in addition to the box leather is the weight of box and the cost, sellier birkins are more expensive and box calf is ~ 20-25% more than epsom (more common leather for sellier). If you are a lover of the heritage leather and you really want a box calf birkin then the price is well worth it, if not then it is something that may give you pause.
I personally would love a kelly or constance in box calf, but would be hard pass for a sellier Birkin. There are a couple of u-tube videos that show what the bag looks like so you can get an idea.
Ombré lizard mini Roulis- Pass
Noir lizard Verrou- Pass
Ardoise lizard C24-Pass
Nior lizard C18 w/GHW-Yes!!!

Interesting offer for sure. I will preface with the fact that I absolutely love Box leather and have several.
That said, I've got a BBB Sellier 30 and it honestly feels very large compared to my other 30s. I think a 35 would feel like carrying around a suitcase... I would candidly pass on this in a heartbeat.
I would pass on a B30 sellier in favor of a B 30 retourne or B25 sellier. All of my 30Bs are retourne and they are large enough. I am a fan of sellier and of box, barenia, VN, hunter and swift. I don’t find them difficult to maintain (if you do a search, I have posted about this and the pros and cons in a variety of other threads).

ODE to Box Calf
Popping in to mention that, although Saphir Universelle is often recommended for Box leather care, I tried it and am having trouble with it. If you are using something else (I have always used Blackrock and Lexol) personally I would not switch, and if you do please do a test spot :facepalm...

ETA: this is assuming you have tried on a B25 and not found the handle drop too short. . . (There are threads on this too)
Please help me decide - birkin 25 or 30?
Hi all, I would be grateful for some help on which Birkin (retourne) size to go for. I am really torn between the 25 or the 30. I am 171cm (5’7) and this will be my first quota bag. My hesitation is that the 25 is too micro for my height but the 30 is too big to take to dinner? I have been...
