I have a new 35cm shiny poro black croc Birkin that I have never carried. It is just too big for me. I have the option of trading it for a new 30cm dove gray ostrich Birkin and 35cm new BJ Birkin or a 35cm graphite croc Kelly. What would you do - trade it, keep it. HELP:nuts:

that is something only you can answer. do you love the bag would you use it?? if not then exchange it for something you love.

but given you say you find it too much i guess then a shiny 35 kelly in graphite would not be for you either! go with your instinct

I know this is not one of your options - how about a 30cm croc birkin? The thought of you trading in a croc for a plain leather is sort of downgrading. I say go croc for croc! I dunno, I just got my croc pochette today!!!:cloud9: I would have a hard time trading it in for a plain leather one. :lawl:
I know what you mean by the 35 croc being OT. The bag will scream "LOOK AT ME" before you even enter.

It is not one of your options, but maybe you can change it to a matte croc instead of a shiny croc. It will be less loud and more of a daily use bag. I don't think the croc kelly is a good choice. If you are still unsure, just return the bag for a store credit and decide later, do not get trapped by an A or B option, there is always a plan C.

Please make sure that this bag is in pristine condition or the store may not let you exchange or return, do not use it.

If you don't like it, exchange it for something that you are more comfortable carrying. Did you get a chance to try this on before purchasing? A 35cm kelly croc is sellier, which will seem even larger and more awkward. Perhaps shiny croc is not for you. Try matte, it's easier for those who cannot handle the shine. I agree, a shiny 35cm is a big shiny bag. The other choices are so different from black. Seems like a odd exchange. Did you not want a black bag? I'm rather confused on the exchange. Perhaps that is what the store has available at this time? Get what you really want, don't settle for colors that you normally would not take just because they are in inventory.

I would definitely say no to the kelly as its the same issue just a different style. If the store is giving you the option dont take anything you wont use. Just keep the credit in the system and wait for bags you can use come in

You shouldn't have to feel like those two are your only options. It's a bit odd, but don't just settle for something bc that's what they have on inventory. You should get something that you know you'll love and use. My suggestion as well is to try Matte.

Get the credit for the time being and tell the sa your options...then eventually ull get your perfect bag. If u still want croc, then wait out for the perfect one for you. I think if u are unsure now, probably the choices offered does not truly interest you. Good luck!
