This is similar to my story. I wanted this bag for the past three years and still no luck at getting it through boutiques or online. During quarantine, the prices increased, so I decided to stalk the website after contact my CAs from two different stores. I spent two weeks checking the website every hours and still no luck. Randomly, I saw a personal shopper post that she is able to reserve it. I just bought it from her, and I can sleep peacefully without stalking that website from now. I payed $825 USD ($25 is for shipping), and the retail price was $630 without tax. Honestly, I think it is worth it to spend a little more to get the PA brand new without worrying about defects, authentic (why I don’t buy pre-love), and most importantly you get to relieve so much stress.
Anyway, congratulation on your beautiful purchase.
