Late post.. Receive it last week, my new CDC 24 black with gold hardware. 
Want to share my latest purchase but also a little story behind it.
I have been an Hermes lover for many many years and have wanted a Birkin since I can remember (although my style has shifted slightly and wanted a Kelly first). At the same time I’m not very patient and not sure how good I am at playing the game, so these bags started going into the back of my mind and my luxury purchases shifted to other brands.
Last year I started thinking about them again and decided to start building that relationship and grow my purchases. After living in London for 10 years (with 0 purchase history in Hermes) I moved back home to Lisbon and purchase one lipstick in 2020 before the pandemic started. Last year in June I went back to the store and bought a pair of trainers I really liked and at the time asked about the process that existed at the moment. The SA advised I would have to do a wishlist and if they received anything that fitted those details they would contact me. So I did, asked for a Kelly 25 or 28, Sellier, Epsom Leather with GHW in Blue. He did say I should put another color just in case so I added more neutral colors like Taupe or Gold.
In August I got a job offer in Germany, and moved to Frankurt, between new job, move etc I kind of forgot about the bag.
Last week I started to think about it again and decided to try my luck in the Frankfurt store (which is where I purchase the cups and one twilly) but they advised me I would need to call a number and book a leather appointment to start a new wishlist in Germany and that there were no more available appointments for this year. But that I should also contact the Lisbon store since I would still have that wishlist valid and active (I was also thinking if the Lisbon store tried to call me, my mobile number was no longer available as I had a German number now).
So I emailed the store in Lisbon, after trying to contact them by phone unsuccessfully, and to my surprise I get an email response saying they had a Kelly 28 Bleu Lin (second pic). I had never seen this color and because they didn’t send any more information I wasn’t sure of the rest, so they sent me a pic with the leather (evercolor) and hardware (gold) so I said yes and went to Lisbon over the weekend to pick it up (that’s also a bit crazy ahah, the things we do). Also picked up a second twilly and now want to get the longer strap to wear it crossbody.
I wanted to share to show how everyone’s experiences are different and never give up, you never know whats going to happen. I was able to purchase a Kelly bag with very little purchase history and no relationship with SA.

Got these beauties and wore them all day in London, they’re really comfy.
Super cute! Do you have information of this style? Would love to locate a pair.
First time posting in the Hermes thread but it was my second visit with my SA and I got sooo lucky. Mini Evenlyne in Black with GHW, orange Oran Teddy sandals, and beige Chypre Teddy sandals. I’m so excited about the Evelyne - really didn’t think I was going to get one for a while and the Chypre sandals - can’t wait to wear them around the house. 
so it is not only me
I also bought Chypre Teddy sandals in light pink for around the house .
