In retrospect I didn't have to wait long but I had my doubts. It was worth the wait! I have it all wrapped up for valentines day but will post when I open it again.... if I can wait that long!HUGE congrats!! Can't wait to see what goodies you got besides the classic beauty. I feel like I read some posts from you about the pain of the whole waiting process so I'm soooo happy to hear that your SA came through (sorry if I'm confusing you with someone else). Now photos photos photos
I have Kelly Beton and it’s not so delicate really
She's gorgeous. I've always been put off by light bags as well, but when I first saw my K32 in craie, I had to have it. Don't be terrified. As my SA in Paris said, "let the bag live"
Love your mini Lindy but your 2002 is TDF! Congratulations dear!
Thanks so much, dear ! Really love the 2002 as it is just like an art piece
I have a beton evelyne that I do not baby. Had it for a few years with no problem. Granted it is clemence but it is also a big evelyne. I think a b25 in swift is totally manageable but only you would know.
So thrilled for you- can't wait to see it!!I've just returned from Paris and everyone has been so helpful I wanted to share my experience as well. My friend and I arrived on Monday night and immediately registered for the waiting list at FSH. After 5 days of rejections (we registered 1030 a.m sharp each day), we both got accepted on the fifth day (They were closed on Sunday so our appointment was the next Monday). I had actually gone to the Avenue George V Hermes and gotten a pair of sneakers the Friday before (since my feet were dying from walking in heels) but my friend had obtained the earlier appointment. I guess this is further proof that the process is completely random and purchase history doesn't increase chances of scoring an appt. We attended the earlier appointment together and the SA was pretty straightforward in asking us what we wanted. She explained that they hadn't gotten a shipment in since Saturday morning so it was unlikely my friend could get what she wanted, nevertheless, in the end she was offered a mini constance in rose ete (which she declined and I totally should have picked up, didn't get a chance to look closely) My friend had asked for a K25 in any color GHW. We left to do some shopping nearby.
My appointment was initially at 1130 but after refreshing the page on my cell phone, it was pushed to noon. I arrived at half past anyway and checked in with the leather counter upstairs. A handsome SA asked my what I would like and I basically said: Any B25 or smaller in neutral colors and any Kelly with GHW, with emphasis on a B25. Just moments later he walked back with a big box which made my heart almost stop, though the look on his face seemed a little hesitant. He led us into a closed off area and revealed the most beautiful bag with my favorite colors ever (though definitely not what I had in mind). I'll post my reveal when I get home later tonight
It's gorgeous- and I agree, swift really just glows, its a gorgeous leather. I would love a beton kelly at some point- I think it is tremendously chic and classy. But yes, it needs to work for you and you have to be comfortable with it.
I'd keep it. I never really worry about color xfer with B's because they are handheld. Not like lighter bags that I carry crossbody that will rub against jeans. I think if it is going to stress you out, only wear it for warmer weather when you're less likely to be wearing jeans and more likely to be wearing dresses, etc, where color xfter is not an issue.
Your bag is my one of my HGs!!
I’m similarly cautious of light bags, but beton/craie is on my wishlist because the color is so beautiful and classic. I think a B25 is perfect, because it’s mostly handheld. You don’t need to worry as much of it sitting against your clothes (e.g. jeans) as you might with a shoulder bag. And you can also color proof your dark clothes (waterproof spray, etc.), if you don't want to spray your B.
Don’t be scared to use it! It’s gorgeous!!! Love this color and leather! Just be reasonably careful with it...and remember it can always go off to the spa every now and then to be restored.
