I have finally got my dream bag, Maxi Kelly (Kelly 42cm). It's togo leather, etoupe color, and with palladium hardware. It's so perfect with the pegase charm I bought earlier this year as well.
I also genuinely wanted to thank multiple TPFers here, including: @acrowcounted , @travelguy2500 , @MacawGuy , @FrenchNewbie , @haute okole , @papertiger , @justdennis84 , and @cravin . (I apologize to those if I forgot to mention here...! Please don't feel bad and it's all my fault. hah) Truly, my journey has been a great success even when I had to go through lots of (emotional) difficulties. Without your wisdom and advice, I would have not been able to make this journey! Thank you all! =)

Wow congrats, and you are very welcome! Happy to have been supportive! Looks great in Etoupe! My first Birkin offer was in Etoupe and I passed on it because I didn't think I'd like the color. But coincidentally, I just bought an Evelyne in Etoupe because I re-liked the color...haha.
Tell us all about what led up to you getting it and what transpired when you got the offer!!
Feel free to PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting here.

Hehe, thanks! Yes, I somehow was able to find great support from here when I had doubts, frustration, etc. So, I felt the urge to express appreciation in depth. (Sometimes, we need to pause for debating, etc. and show appreciation...!)
I wasn't interested in Hermes (or shopping in luxury brands) at all [or, knew nothing about fashion really], but was introduced to Hermes by my mom and sister in summer 2023. So, in my case, I skipped all other brands (e.g., Prada, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, etc.) and just landed in the Hermes world. (I then fell in love with H because H fits so well with my style... I hate too much logo plays like those of Louis Vuitton or Balanciaga, etc.. I just want a low key style... known as old money or quiet luxury ones, such as Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli.)
Then, I got interested in men's bags. So, I bought Herbag 39 (all black/palladium hardware) via H website in August 2023 - I had no knowledge of "SA relationship" then. So, I just got it online, lol. This was my first H bag. (I started H journey around July/August 2023.)
But, as you know, Herbag 39 is not a "all leather" bag, and I learned about Birkin and Kelly. My preference was then Kelly because it has a strap. And my SA told me that Kelly 42 is a brand new men's bag came out in 2023. So, I'd been asked for this. I really like etoupe because it is neutral color and can fit well with my style (other than the black color). Also, I wanted Birkin to be black, so I requested etoupe for Kelly 42.
Surprisingly, when I picked up my K42, my SA suggested that BBB35 could be a great one for me as the next bag. (Now, I just need to do some homework and tell my SA to confirm BBB35 as my next one.)
But, I am a minimalist and have no intention to collect the same bags over and over in different sizes/colors, etc. I just want one bag each. lol
Currently, I now have: Herbag 39 (black and PHW); Kelly Depeches 36 (vert de gris and PHW); and Kelly 42 (etoupe and PHW).
I will probably get 2 more bags and that's all, which are (1) Birkin 35 or 40, but not both (black and PHW) and (2) Kelly Depeches 25 (gold and PHW).
I think it's been a good journey thus far... Under my account, I've obtained 2 QBs and 4 non-QBs to date; 2 QBs and 1 non-QBs were for my mom and sister... (1 QB and 1 non-QB from my French account this year.) By the way, when I picked up K42, my SA reassured that the K42 is not a quota bag that I can ask for BBB35 this year.
That's lovely and amazing that you were able to acquire all of that within 6 months. Did you have/required pre-spend in other categories, or have you solely been offered/purchased bags from H?
I want a black Birkin next as well; considering if I want Box leather or toile, and wondering if I want to do B40/HAC40 or B30 next. Leaving my options open.
Wow! Congrats!!! Haven't seen a Maxi Kelly in a while! Looks great! Happy you got your dream bag offered!

Here's what I got in order:
- Herbag 39 (August 2023): No pre-spend; Just bought it online and it was for myself.
- Lindy 26 (August 2023): No pre-spend; Just bought it from Greenwich, CT. (The SA checked my cell number and learned that I had been shopping online only (and spending was like $6K online) and had no track record of on-site shopping.) It was my very first walk-in to the very first H store, and I had the luck to get it. It was for my sister.
- Birkin 30 (November 2023; Madison, NY): With a pre-spend of $11K (before taxes) - homeware, clothes, etc. It was for my mom.
- Birkin 30 (January 2024; Paris [FSH]): No pre-spend; First-time visitor and created my account there. It was for my sister.
- Kelly Depeches 36 (January 2024; Paris [FSH]): No pre-spend; I got it when I got the Birkin at the same time. It was for myself.
- Maxi Kelly (March 2024; Madison, NY): It was for myself.
I now have 2 accounts (in US and France). My mom and sister don't have accounts. My SA knows that it's really 3 people under my account, ha.
My SA suggested black box Birkin 35 (palladium) for myself. I am not familiar with toile, but will look into that!
Very nice. You seem like an amazing son and brother, to get those bags for your mom and sister.Here's what I got in order:
