Happy Birthday!!! Congratulations for finding your beautiful K and what a wonderful DH drawing an extra special b-day card.Happy Birthday To Me!
I had this same bag but in 35 - this is a black 32 Togo Retourne - that I miraculously bought off the shelf at Madison Avenue - if memory serves - for about $4k 20 years ago when I got my first substantial bonus.
About 5 years laterI ended up selling it along with a number of other fabulous bags and scarves during my year of letting go and downsizing stuff. Well a few years after that I realized being too minimal did not suit me either and I slowly started replenishing many bags and scarves but H prices had started their creep and I just couldn't plug the trigger and/or couldn't get a bag.
I told local SA that I wanted a K32 black PHW and I kept getting told sure no problem even by store manager but every 6 months when I asked of course no bag. I bought a black GP, a black Herbag, a black Evelyn, many scarves, ties, watches, RTW, toiletries, etc but no K for me.
My husband would see the look of disappointment when I'd come home with no K and the lust as I prowled Ebay and reseller sites and kept telling me to buy a resale bag but I couldn't justify the markup and I wanted a "new" bag. I finally decided prices were only going to keep going in one direction and so I pulled the trigger when I found one in excellent condition only a few years young on Fashionphile where I shop often and have always have had great experiences with as a buyer.
My K32 came today in time for my birthday tomorrow and except for the fact that there was no orange box it looks, feels and smell practically brand new and we will be very happy together. This is a perfect size for me and I tried it with my Evelyn strap so I can wear crossbody and with one of my twillies (I need to get better at twilly school) and i am thrilled.
My husband is a fabulous artist and whipped up this birthday card this afternoon of us, our 15-year old rescue Coton du Tulear Coco and Ms K on my arm! I am one very lucky and grateful old broad! Thanks!

So happy for you!!
That’s why i choose the reseller route. Sure I may have paid a premium but at least i get the bag i truly love. No drama, no waiting, all love!!
After doing computations I still spent less on a premium than buying things at the store.
I still buy hermes stuff but not because I want a bag.
Amazing cake! Belated Happy Birthday!!
I’m 5’6 and had to get size 38 because it was the only size available. I don’t mind it being oversized because it’s beachwear!I just asked my SA for this dress! Do you mind sharing how tall you are and which size you got? I usually need to take in straps because I'm so petite but I'm obsessed
Gorgeous!Happy Birthday To Me!
