>>> Share your story with me - how did you get your first Birkin?

I had only Bolides before, I will edit that to reflect my sudden discovery of BIRKINS!
Sorry for the confusion. Lack of caffeine!
Sorry, the Barenia is a 35 of course. The Fjord is indeed a 28, which is available by special order.
Neither HAC or Birkin 28 are available to SO.
I googled because I was also confused, this is all that I could find: https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/handle-bags/hermes-hac-birkin-28-32
Hopefully she will come back and clarify.
Hello! I’m just curious. My SA told me that I’m one of his top lists of clients that will be offered a Birkin this year. I don’t know when this will be and I’m willing to be patient but want to hear your stories. Please comment down below on that memorable first Birkin offer u got from your SA. When did u start your journey and when did you get that offer? It brings me hope everytime I hear people’s stories about their first Birkin offer.
The first B offer I received was 2 years after I started my journey with our H store.
The reason for the long wait was because for my first bag I requested a kelly not a birkin.
The second reason was because I didn't want a normal leather birkin for my wife's first B so I had to wait longer but it was worth the wait as I was able to get a B25 touch in caramel/tabac.
So my advise to you is that don't be afraid to wait for your dream bag.

Thank you so much for your reply. That Caramel/tabac is really beautiful. Did you ask your SA about the bags lol every visit? I sometimes do not talk about it since I do not want to keep bringing it up but he ends up talking about it. He has mentioned numerous times that I will be getting the bag but have to be really patient. I now have reached over 1:1 spending but I always have to remind myself that these are the things I truly love. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
I started 2.5 years ago to really look at bags, previously I’d stop in for a gift for a client here and there but nothing consistent and I didn’t even have a steady SA but one day while getting one of my bags spa’s I really hit it off with my current SA and the next time I came in to look at bags which was around my birthday I was offered a b30 Noir Croc PHW and a c24 noir PHW. I ended up taking the c24. It was relatively quick for me.
Actually I was asking for an ostrich leather and never considered a touch variant. It was pure luck to be honest. My store received 2 touch bags one in Rouge H and the other in caramel.
My SA sent me a picture of both bags and said " look what did we receive today". I went to the boutique to see them in person out of curiosity and just like that I was offered to take one of them so I did.
In my experience most of the bags we got offered were not on our radar which worked well for us.
I hope this helps and soon you get your dream bag.
In the past, I’d picked up a few things here and there from H in Paris and my local boutique. In July 2021 I got a new position at a dream company and became serious about shopping at H. I was able to connect with the same SA who sold me my Oran sandals in 2019. After purchasing items from homewares, silks, RTW and cosmetics, I was offered my first B30 in January 2022.
