Hi everyone, my SA offered me a Vert Rousseau Porosus Croc Kelly Pochette. Should I take this offer? Will this offer come again if I pass it up? I think it’s beautiful but also comes with a hefty price. I may have to sell one or two Chanel’s to justify the purchase. Does anyone know the current retail of this bag? I’m guessing it’s in mid 20k? I believe it’s a lot higher than retail price of ombré lizard.
The story is the SA asked me to put in bag request for Mother’s Day event. I asked for ombré lizard Kelly mini or Kelly pochette or picnic kelly mini. But looks like none of those bags are coming so he’s offering me this kelly pochette instead.

It is beautiful! But ask yourself this-if I don't get an offer like this again.....ever.....will I regret not buying this? If your answer is "no", then you can say "pass".

Certainly not; otherwise you would not be asking the question.
It is not what you really want; you stated you might be selling other bags to fund the purchase.
Your wording shows that your potential interest in it is more influenced by its rarity.
Although you expressed an interest in the Kelly Pochette as a style, this skin does not seem to have been on your radar.
Your SA clearly wishes to offer you something special; wait until he or she can offer you something that you would really like to have.
 
Sometimes, little surprises we never planned for steal our hearts. If this bag makes your heart skip a beat and you can swing the added cost of it, I say go for it! Though it is not what you originally asked for, that is sometimes the beauty of H.... Fabulous pieces come your way that simply seduce you and earn a place in your heart and possibly your closet!:) Good luck deciding!!
 
I would not buy an exotic KP. I’m nervous enough using my swift KP. It’s a bag that lends itself nicely to nights out/cocktail/restaurant events but the bag doesn’t have feet, nor a strap, so I find myself constantly making sure no surfaces have any moisture on them and that my hands don’t have condensation on them from my drink etc. Cute for photos but impractical for use, imo.

I couldn’t agree more. Also, I carry KPs for day and that means I am constantly grabbing the bag by its body. I would ruin this bag in a hot minute.

Ok this is something important to consider. I also have a KP and yes I am also always paying attention ..
Thank you for sharing this.
 
Thank you for that suggestion. I think you just helped me answer the question. I would regret it if I never get this offer again.

I didn't take up the offer of.the most beautiful Alligator Plume 32 in 2014 and have thought about so often since. I actually had the money then, I just din't want to be greedy and though a 'normal' leather bag was outrageous enough.

Now I have stunning Chocolate Box 28 and fabulously special Bambou Swift Plume 32 and I'm not sorry about either, but it was definitely the 'one that got away' and I'm annoyed with myself because I really would have enjoyed using it.
