Are K25s harder to get than B25s? I am in the SoCal area. I definitely prefer Birkins over Kelly’s due to the closure. I have 2 Birkins and so thinking of adding a Kelly but wanted to know if it is harder to get.
I think they’re equally as hard. But it works like this…when you want a birkin, you get offered Kelly’s and when you want a Kelly you get offered birkins. Lol
 
I’ve always been told by my boutique that a b25 or mini K is harder than a k25,IDKW 🤔
For me a K28 retourne has been harder than a K25 retourne! I got a K25 in etoupe December 2023. Almost 8 months later and l am waiting for my first QB of this year with 30K spent since December 2023. Was offered a K28 sellier 2 months ago that I declined. So I guess it all depends on what the SM ordered 🤯

😂 ain’t that the truth! haha got a b30, b25, and a b25 (all in desirable neutral colors) before getting a k25 (in a pop of color i didn’t ask for). and all i ever wanted when i started “the journey” was a neutral or pink kelly.

So true! I wanted a birkin to be my first qb as it is so signature for Hermes, but I still put Kelly as the first one on the wish list because I convinced myself that it would be more practical to have straps… and I only put k28/b30 thought that would be easier for the first qb… turns out my first qb was a Birkin 25, which was 😍😍😍!
So I do think, put your no. 1 dream bag as the 2nd or 3rd on the list, and it might come to you sooner 🤣🤣🤣

I just enquired about KE as 2nd QB and was told it would be easier than getting K25 but still require a long wait. My SA joked it would be lots easier if i aim for 2026 otherwise we will see 😅 i was offered KE while waiting for my first QB too but sticked to the original wishlist. Now I’m glad i did

Yes thank you! I’m curious how it compares against B25, MKII etc in terms of difficulty to obtain.
I am based in the US in a competitive store- I have one from this year- I did not ask for it, it was offered to me. As the majority of the regular tpf members suggest: it is really based on the relationship with your sa, store etc and not so much on your prespend. I have did not have much (or any at all) pre spend for the Constance Elan. If you shop throughout the year, are not a reseller, and develop an account with your store (sa/sm) bags do follow. All the bags follows, it just takes time, sometimes years but bags of all colors styles and sizes will be offered. You will be offered so many bags you will pass on them. Patience and regular relationship is really the way.

Hope you get one soon! I really like it for travel so much so that i may want another one before they disappear again.
