Ladies and gents, need your advice again: few months ago I was asking what would you choose between few colours and thank you for your answers. The reason was because my SA asked what color do I want and I provided him few options. After that it was very long silence and then he came up with Terre bateau (which I don't like in general and never wished to have) and then with black swift touch with ghw. Everything was unmatched because I love swiftt but prefer Clemense in ML, don't want black, don't like exotics and in general prefer PHW for more casual bags as I consider ML casual. So I passed. A day ago I saw gold Clemense ghw on a website but I was not in rush to buy because for gold I prefer PHW and same day my SA offered me exactly same bag as I saw on a website. I do not have anything in gold but for ML wanted in this color/leather combination but with PHW... I know that gold hardware will irritates me probably but I feel like I can waited for ages for exact color/leather/hardware combination. I know I'm very picky and at the same time I tired to wait. don't know what to do: go for it or pass? My SA tells that since the new big store opened in the region all the stock goes there and the only MLs that he received were the one that I just mentioned here.

It sounds like you’ve set yourself up to regret regardless which choice you make. If you accept the bag, the GHW will always bug you and you will have wished you had waited for PHW. You also won’t likely get an offer for a PHW anytime soon if you take the GHW because it’s such a highly requested bag. If you turn down the bag, you will wish you had a mini lindy and regret passing on it…until the perfect bag arrives. The perfect bag will come eventually so I would wait (and PHW seems to be much more prevalent in the mini lindy anyway so it should be the easier one to get in time).

Also, I hate when SAs make excuses. We all know stock is tight, just say it’s not available yet. Telling me that another store is getting the great items just makes me want to say to the SA “Haha, maybe I should go shop at the new big store then…”

If the GHW will irritatate you then why would you like to buy it? Pass.

Hello all! I am fairly new to Hermes and started shopping in May at my local boutique after an unsuccessful trip at FSH. I was paired with a Sales Supervisor and after purchasing a few items I had mentioned about wanting a Evie TPM. On my second visit, I casually mentioned about the Evie again with the same SA and was then offered an Evie TPM in Bleu France. I had told my SA that I wished for a Mini Lindy that same visit and she mentioned that will be difficult. So my big question is how long did my fellow Hermes lovers have to wait for your Mini Lindy? Is it harder than a quota bag? And do you think I should continue to ask for the Mini Lindy on my next visit? Currently I am not after a quota bag. I would imagine that a Mini Lindy would be easier to acquire than a quota bag. Many thanks!

I've heard that mini lindy is treated as almost a quota bag as it is difficult to get. If your SA said it's difficult, that means you need to spend more and buy more items (in my case, that was what it meant) to meet your quota.

Thank you for the response @ladypark9145. Good to know that piece of info. No wonder it's quite hard to obtain. I already spent quite a bit...close to 7k. I guess I need to show more patience with my SA and within myself. Hopefully, I can manifest the Mini Lindy soon and luckily I still have more items on my wishlist. But for now, I will enjoy my Evie TPM.

it literally took YEARS (2, maybe 3??) for me to get my one and only mini Lindy (rose shocking PHW), so yes, i would say as hard to get (if not more than some) quota bags depending on color, leather, HW etc.
