Hi all,
I am pregnant with my first child, and going through this journey made me appreciate MY OWN mom so much more, that I'd like to gift her a bag as a huge thank you for everything she has done for me. My pregnancy has not been easy, to say the least! My mom has been there every step of the way (cooking for me when everything smelled bad in first tri, nursing me back to health literally when i had the flu, etc etc) and I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. She has plenty of Chanel flaps but the one bag she has always coveted is the Hermes Birkin, and I think it is because she doesn't keep a relationship with the SAs/buy other things.

If I were to start the process now, how long would it take to get offered a bag? My local boutique would be South Coast Plaza, and a little further would be the one on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

Thank you!

That’s entirely dependent on what you’re willing to spend. If you go in tomorrow and drop $200k, I can almost guarantee you will walk out with a bag (or at least have the exact one you want by month’s end). If you intend to never buy anything else, then the wait will be literally endless. Somewhere in between is somewhere in between. Highly recommend in your situation to just go resale to get it quickly with no games and less out of pocket.

How sweet!! That’s very thoughtful of you. Which bag style are you thinking of?

As a new client, I would say you can expect to spend about 4-6 months developing a relationship with at least 15k spend before any realistic hope for a bag discussion. Of course luck has a lot to do with it too but barring extreme outliers I would say that’s what you should expect going in. Having said that, dropping 50k in one month doesn’t guarantee a bag either. In fact based on other tpfer experience and my SAs info there are many clients with 50-60k spend and have been waiting for over a year.

How flexible you are with bag specs will also affect wait time. But the store gets quite a bit of neutrals so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll have more opportunities.

From my experience they want to see spend and time.

Congrats on your new baby!
