Hi PurseOnFleek - sorry if this is ignorant, but why did you order them this way? Does the person shopper get a commission like this?
Because H doesnt ship International and the petit H charms arent sold in my country so had to use a PS to send them too me but because i paid for them on the H website myself and shipped direct to her I only had to pay her a small fee for the service & cost to ship. But i had her source some chanel & dior shoes for me too so i combined with those to maximise cost of shipping

In February, in London, I got two straps for my kelly watch. At that time, they don't have parts of the strap in store. As the following pic shown, these parts are sold separately.

Therefore, I could only order these parts in my home store, and after waiting for 3 months, I finally got them.:loveeyes:

Two straps and two twillies.

The top one was my original watch and the following two are my new straps.:heart: They are a epsom leather in noir and a swift one in etoupe. Both look great with ghw!

They are Tapis Persans in color, rose/gris bleute/jaune soufre. My SA kept them for me to match my bolide bag in RJ. When I saw them in store, I was quite hesitant, because I didn't think they would match the color of my bag.:confused1: I raised this question and he showed me a kelly wallet in the same color to see if the twillies worked. I thought maybe they could work as contrast colors. Results turned out that I was wrong.:doh:
Anyway, I learned a lesson—I should follow my instincts. I made my best to match the bag though.
First attempt,

Failed. The colors really don't go well with my bag. A user, from the other forum, suggested me not to entwine twillies on handles.
Therefore, I tried the following two.

I think they don't look so strange now?:biggrin: Nevertheless, they are so beautiful!:heart: Hope someday I could get a bag in grey colors to match them.:p

Thanks for your time to read my story.
Happy weekend.:drinks:
 
Okay so here's part 2 of my impromptu visit to Hermes in Munich Flughafen.

I had 45 mins in between flights and on a whim I went to the store. Saw a Mini Berline, which is on my wish list, but in the wrong color (black) and leather (box).

Proceeded to ask the über friendly SA, Stefan, if there are others not on display. Unfortunately none except for a Jypsiere 28, which I already have and don't use too often because, bulky.

Then he showed me this most awesome trick that apparently "corporate" discourages (?):

I'm sure I'm the only one who didn't get the memo that the Constance wallet and the 120cm/47in Farandole necklace can be paired together to make a WOC. But here's what it looks like. I'm a happy camper!

P.S.: all the prices in the store are inclusive of VAT, but the customs office where you get the stamp for the refund is less than 50 steps from the store and, being German, is very very quick. Within minutes, I was back in the store and they processed my refund through credit card. Gotta love the German efficiency.
