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.

Hello everyone,
I am a new member. I do not have any social media so was pretty nervous about joining your community. But I have been reading the LV thread for over 10 years and now the Hermes for almost 2 years, and thought it was a good time to join. I am very late to the party as I only made my first purchase last year and I am over 50 lol.
I am sorry if I am posting all this information in the wrong thread. But my most recent purchase is an Evelyn TPM in Noir, Clemence Leather with PHW.
I am trying to figure out how to attach a photo.`

I was in the same place just two years ago and I am 62 just celebrating my retirement :flowers:. It’s a slippery slope. :angel::giggle:You can attach your photo using that little mountain image on the top when you are typing.

Haha yes it is. All I ever wanted from Hermes was a beautiful silk scarf. Well, let's just say it did not stop there lol.

I have a very small purchase to share from the Hermès store in NYC. There was hardly any stock and nothing that I wanted was available. I was offered a non quota bag the Evelyn 29 but I passed. I love the colour Rose Extreme in goatskin of my new passport holder :heart:
