Love the "jump up and hug him" part. I think SAs genuinely appreciate these hugs. When I got my 1st quota offer, my BFF who was there at the appointment with me, hugged my SA which caught my SA by surprise.

yes! He definitely appreciated the hug and it was reciprocated! Definitely wasn’t awkward or one sided ❤️

Picked up a scarf I ordered and was just chatting. Suddenly, SA sort of jumps up and says "oh I almost forgot! Something came in today that was on your list... a Kelly Cut. Saved it for you, want to take a look?"

Me: (mind is blank due to shock)
Barely able to utter "uhh yeah sure" as I will my stubby legs to follow her to a dressing room.
*Some context: I had basically given up hope as SA hadn't seen one in 2 yrs and I had heard faint whisperings that the Cut was being discontinued for the Kelly Elan. So I had mentally crossed it off my list.

Mind is still blank as she comes back with the box. Pulls it out and ofc it's beautiful (noir GHW swift).
Brain finally kicks as I'm trying it out, but rationalizing "you don't need another black clutch - you already have one with silver/PHW and another in rose gold HW... not necessary. Be reasonable."
I ask if I can think about it and SA kindly says I have 2 days to decide (since she's out the next day). Brain still feels a bit foggy and not processing the moment.

As I'm driving home, I text my fellow "H-support group" friend about the offer. At some point, I'm like "well, I was thinking maybe something in a lighter/summer color - nata or craie, beton even. And I've been lowkey keeping an eye out for a classic black clutch with GHW (and open to any brand) so I don't want to take this just because it's there..."
It starts to dawn on me: OMG WHAT THE HECK AM I TALKING ABOUT - this is IT!!! This is actually what I'm looking for!

So I text SA next morning "yes, I will take it! I don't know what I was thinking". Because clearly, my brain was not working.

My last offer was so recent and the thoughts that rushed through my head and the extreme emotions I experienced are still fresh...the tempered excitement when my SA texted me to ask if she could call me (tempered because she had offered me 8 'quota' bags in the previous year none of which I accepted); the giddiness when she said she had a B30 in a dark green (I'd asked for a B30 in medium to dark green); the impatience during work the next day before I went to the boutique; the shocked disappointment when she pulled out a B30 in Taundra (not really a green in my mind); and then the joyous glee as I glimpsed the handles of my B30 in VC. What a roller coaster!

It seems that many of us experience a similar range of emotions in receiving a bag presumably because after months/years of waiting, it comes as such a lovely, if somewhat shocking, surprise.

I was just offered a B25 in vert comics with palladium hardware! Isn't it such a stunning color? Accepted it on the spot

I booked an appointment with my SA for today to order a belt and a headband. He called me yesterday evening which I thought was an accidental/butt dial because he had said he was going to be off yesterday. But then he followed up with a text asking if I was open to vert bags (I was b/c my specs were some shade of vert/rouge/rose for a pop of color) and offered me a b25 in vert comics. Was so excited about my appointment, I had trouble sleeping last night haha. Was also a little worried I wouldn't like the color since sometimes the photos don't reflect the colors well in real life. But I saw it in person and fell in love/think I have reached purse peace.

I feel you! Such a lovely bright pop of color! Enjoy!

I am generally wondering if I left the stove on and if the dogs are fed, but then, this is what I'm always worried about

Congrats on your vert B30. OT, but I feel so much better about the bags I’ve rejected when I read that you rejected 8 so thank uou

I have never stopped worrying about this, which can be stressful when I’m in a different country

For my last offer which was a suede B30, I had to remind myself that light colored suede was not a good idea (a waiter once tripped and spilled ketchup on DHs light suede hiro sneakers, and that nearly gave me a heart attack). We got the stain out (due to fortuitous nano spraying) but then DH somehow got tar on them, and they had to be custom dyed. Plus, I have to remind myself I cannot accept another B30 (I love them, but they’re getting too heavy)

Happy to help!

I know I’ve been incredibly lucky to have received so many offers from such a competitive store and, to stay OT, I’ve gotten pretty good at tempering my expectations for both the surprise offers in the boutique (controlling my look of disappointment remains challenging) and phone/text offers. But, with my SA gone, I suspect I’ll have less practice now!

I am reminding myself in which order of credit cards should I use, to maximise the air miles to be earned.. The previous time, I was so overwhelmed and forgot to use a credit card I have intended, losing the chance to earn a lot of air miles. So now, I have learnt my lesson..

Oh yes true I once forgot to use my Takashimaya Amex for points. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Years ago, I also turned down a suede B for fear that it would be too challenging to keep it looking fresh. It was truly stunning though. I was also offered a suede picotin on a different visit and I still regret passing on that one! You have a beautiful collection and your bags really work so well for your stylish wardrobe. Kudos to you for having the strength to say no to beautiful pieces that just don't quite work as well as you may wish.

"Color transfer, color transfer, color transfer. I don't know if I can keep it safe from color transfer."
It was a white/cream geta and I said no thanks.
