Sorry...I just noticed your wishlist now...unless you are willing to settle for a regular Birkin, then I wish you lots of luck for the Etoupe/Framboise combo which is a SO!!!

Yup, i hope to get the combo birkin but since it's not possible, i'm fine to settle for a regular birkin, tks sweetie.:smile1:
 
Getting the first birkin is a very exciting affair.

I cant decide which colour to get. Any advice? I am deciding between one from either a pink or blue family. What would you guys recommend?
 
i know an ex-Hermes SA who told me that some of her colleagues took bribes from customers to get them their bags faster

not sure how this is done..

If one wants to bribe an SA, one is better off going the reseller route where one won't get "found out" by corporate and get blacklisted. JMHO.
 
it's all done under the table.. and definitely not in a table at Hermes!

hehe..apparently all the SAs were aware of each other doing that.. it's mainly the society ladies who did that.. they just can't wait too long for their bags!

but she has left a good 10 years ago.. if i see her again, i shall ask her

Dear Celia_Hish, i just want to share my H shopping experience with you:balloon: I want to Paris last month and, of course, to FSH. Barely believable !!! I was super lucky to get my 1st Kelly 32 Clemence in Yellow ( not sure if it's Curry or Soleil, i don't care about the color as long as i get this Must Have Kelly ). When i asked SA, she said there were only White, Yellow, and Red (New Color) in stock. When she brought the bag and the box was opened, i knew suddenly that it had to be mine since i didn't have any preferable color in mind. I just wanted to have it, so i took this stunning bag home.

So, in my opinion, it's not that difficult to get an H bag, eventhough, sometimes you have to wait for a long time :amuse: Keep on trying and looking for your wish list whereever you can go.. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :balloon:

FYI, that super nice SA is Korean. Her name is Kim-Yong, i guess..

Thanks for the above inputs. Appreciate it....i'm so happy for you that u are able to get ur kelly. i love the color, great choice. Congrats:nuts::yahoo:
 
I dont think an SO is a complete NO NO for a newbie. It all depends on luck @ FSH. If you get a nice friendly SA in a good mood, he or she may be able to grant your wish. You should tell them that you have been waiting for your dream birkin for a long long time and ask them if it possible to help you get it...

Spore Malaysia Indonesia are nearly impossible to get SO's.

You can try Australia then again also hard for SO i would say.

Anyway good luck!:)

Hey sweety, thanks for your advice. I guess i may have to stick to a more realistic choice, guess SO it's just fat hope....lol:smile1:
 
Thanks ladies for all the inputs here.

If chevre is so rare (as i'm aware about this and heard from some pfers sayin that), guess i don't mind to get a togo. But i wish i can place my 1st birkin order from somewhere rather than in SG (which i don't think i can rely on them either) or even M'sia (which i already placed my waitlist in H KL).

Hi Celia,

im also planning to get a birkin.. so u managed to be on wait list else where? care to share how u go about being on waitlist in KL? u just call them & tell them? thanks..

Hi there, actually i go thru my gf to help me to waitlist in KUL for me and they did called before last yr and asked me whether i'm keen to get the black birkin 30 but it's not the size i want. If you have any frnd who knows the SA there, i believe she can help you to add your request on the list.:smile1:

Hi there Celia,

I am a newbie to the forum and am wondering if you have finally got your dream bag? I hv just checked out this forum and found that they provide really good info and although the sad part is that it is not easily available in Spore or Msia. Just one more Q: when you put your name on the wait list in KL, were you asked to pay the full amount or any kind of deposit?

Btw, thanks everyone for sharing your views and input. Bless you all,
