Well
MrsS, the entire subject of chevre just makes me sad, because I was actually hoping to order a brightly colored 40cm. Birkin in the original CdC, which was my preference, so you can only imagine that I was a bit disappointed to see my options! That had been my hope simply because I liked the slightly smaller grains of the original and thought that in this larger bag I would want all of the rigidity possible. Alas, it was not to be.
As you stated, CdC was replaced with CdC Souple, but I was not even able to order a 35cm. Birkin or Kelly in this leather. This is the leather that all of the HACs are coming in and I tried for a 36cm. HAC, but it too was turned down..... I assume that they are only filling orders of 32 cm. and under, but I was really looking for a larger bag.
As for Mysore, I saw that it actually was available, for orders of 30cm. and under. There were a few lovely colors which my manager said we might want to try for in case they were phasing out Mysore, but I just can't really pull off a 30cm. --- although everytime I look at your stunning avatar, I do regret my choice a bit.
So that was story on my side of the world,
for the A/W 2007 ordering.
