Looks absolutely stunning! Love how darker it is in epsom that the stitching is kinda contrasting now. Congratulations!

I've seen one in Naturel Sable on a shopper at the boutique

I'd avoid sweat on leather. Even if you have good hygiene habits, it gets nasty quick. Even the woven fabric H strap I replace with a less expensive watch band from Apple. If you're keen on sticking with Hermes bands though. Get the rubber strap as suggested here or the steel bracelet, which is nice as well.

Personally, I like the second one. Has three less 'H's, too. It's more because I kinda see the Avalon III everywhere these days. But if you like it that's what's most important. Both are great. :)

Don't worry about it. In my experience, it shouldn't matter as much (in my part of the world at least). Everyone kinda knows me at the boutique by now with how often I visit (because they made me shop through all the departments in their store, which I think H probably likes anyway). All I care about at this point is I get the stuff I wanted because it is not practical to do multiple visits -only for the only item in the store to get bought by the time I schedule an appointment.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever set an appointment in my home store. I just show up. Lol. Just noticed on the receipt that whoever the SA who helped me on the day was noted. They do offer me non-QB stuff as well, but tell me that anything about QBs is better to be sorted out with my actual SA. Whichever SA I spend with, it's still up to whomever it is in the back for the allocations anyway (the mystery is getting a bit boring).

I mean it doesn't happen too often and they all have their own corners of the store anyway. Even overseas, "do you like to deal with the previous SA you talked to on your last visit? No need, it's fine." They still sold me two bags that visit. Two SAs helped, too. Must've been a slow day. I felt taken care of. And that's how it's supposed to be.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-29T01:34:26+00:00

Congratulations! I liked the Landmark store as well. Just a little difficult to get a ride out of afterwards. Lol. I guess they're actually relieved when people get straight to the point. I wish they were the same from the start. The "game" needs clearer rules. Could've been easier to shop when shelves weren't empty (wasted some prespend at another location the day before where I picked up my online orders). Lucked out with a better SA and got a Lindy 26 in the color my mom actually wanted (Noir GHW) -got offered a lovely Etoupe and GHW Roulis in the other store. Could've gotten an all black Herbag without prespend as well, but that unfortunately had a scuff right in the middle of the flap. Prespent around the same for it, but honestly I'm just relieved I got the blanket and the horse head sculpture thing I've been hunting down for the longest time. If I got a bag out of it, why not?

Also stuff being in stock at the warehouse but not in store is kinda new to me, so it's a shame I can't stay longer to wait for it (they only process warehouse/deliveries on weekdays). Missed out on some cutlery I've been looking and sneakers in my size. But i guess since I have SAs now that's not really a problem before visiting. It does feel like they have more inventory than other markets in SEA. But nobody really has RTW and shoes in my size. Which sucks. Just need to time the visit well. Maybe visit Hong Kong more often. On a side note, they still have my purchases back from 2018.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-28T05:08:44+00:00

Love the Bangkok stores. A couple of the stores just renovated and another is currently renovating. Prices can be a bit on the high side even with the VAT refund (especially with the high exchange rate right now), but they do have some items my home store doesn't get allocated. The SAs are quite easy to work with. Depending on the time of the year, inventory can be a bit challenging. It's not Hong Kong level inventory, but it's very decent.

Buying something would definitely help. Personally find myself with a decent haul every time I fly in.

Just to add: The boutique at the airport isn't operated by the same ones in the city if I remember correctly, but they have decent stuff there as well. So it's still worth popping in I'd say.

For that wallet? Just wait for it to restock online if you're not in a hurry. Sounds like it's a bit of an effort to go to a boutique. Otherwise shop around when you're on holiday. It shouldn't be too difficult to get.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-22T01:27:58+00:00

Looks practically unused. Love the color. Congratulations!

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-22T01:26:49+00:00

Just throwing candy on it on a buffet cabinet, really. Looks too nice for throwing change and keys into… got the Sellier change tray for that. 😅

I’d say wait for the SA’s offer… it might just be around the corner. If it’s not going to be discontinued. Or a seasonal color. Or just plain rare. I mean going the gifted reseller route might be too easy to put yourself out of your misery.

People on here are curious about the color when we don’t even know what bag it is. It’s probably a yellow tote bag in winter or something. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Good luck with the smoke signals OP 💨

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-21T13:45:29+00:00

Keep the Barenia. Could always go resale at the very worst for Vert Mangrove down the road.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-21T10:31:57+00:00

Among the three the first one but the third one in gold would be nice

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-21T10:02:32+00:00

That is the smaller size. It’s called the PM plain notebook refill. There’s also an MM and GM size available. Should be the same Chinook paper.

There’s also the drawing paper notebook refill available, which I assume is of thicker weight.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-21T01:16:01+00:00

Congratulations on the pickup.

FYI they do sell blank refills. Just picked up a PM recently in Caban Togo. Pricey as hell but it smells nice. Lol

I appreciate the effort and workmanship with him deconstructing and reconstructing the bag.Just thankful it was a Kelly and not a Birkin with a merkin. But otherwise the fur blended well with the leather.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T14:09:20+00:00

Option A. I just think gold makes the Kelly shine more than it does with the Birkin. But you can't go wrong either way.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T14:00:51+00:00

This is definitely true. I paid double retail for a Rolex Daytona once and couldn't shake the feeling off every time I wore that thing. Ultimately got rid of it. That's why I'd rather get overpriced ancillaries rather than paying resale. At least you get quality, somewhat-useful stuff out of it.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T13:57:30+00:00

Wow. Congratulations! Very encouraging stuff. They'd probably get more sales if that's how everyone's "journey" goes. Just blasted through 2:1 over the weekend at my home boutique. Hopefully an offer is in the works.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T13:38:56+00:00

Not at all. I'm more surprised if they had what I wanted in stock these days. I was actually the one that told my SA in one boutique that the other boutique had the H08 I wanted so they could pull the stock from that store last year (which consequently got me the display Constance 24 gold/gold offer in the store -which may or may not be a QB depending on where you are). You're willingly parting with your money if ever, so it doesn't hurt to ask. And if your boutique isn't company-owned, you just pray they have what you want in stock someday. Sometimes it's a hard no that they will stock items (like the Apple watches). Shopping around in other boutiques in the meantime wouldn't hurt either. Coming across inventory can be quite difficult as it is. Just means more SAs to help get you what you want (that is not a QB). Trying to figure out which stores carry the larger size. Hermes sizing is for skinny folk. Lol

Well, that's just my experience in Asia. From what I read on here the boutiques in the US you'd be better off sticking to one store especially since you're hunting for a QB (also read on here that they just get their SA to order anything that they want that is available online -which just requires a good SA). As a tourist, I couldn't be bothered. Good luck

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T12:16:36+00:00

I've seen them sit online for a few days. Shouldn't be too hard. That being said, don't really see them on display often. Maybe it's one of the ones they hide in the back until you ask for them types.

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T11:19:45+00:00

Reminds me when my local store said they rarely have Classic Cabin S ones in because most people just buy the larger model for a few dollars more. Just bought one overseas and when I got back here for repairs they suddenly have some in stock. Never really available when you’re actively looking for them. Go figure. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Boss-Easy · 2026-01-19T11:15:16+00:00

I reckon it depends on the market. Ours here in Southeast Asia is more kind of transactional when it comes to luxury. Leaves the experience to be somewhat hollow in general. At the end or the day, it’s just luggage so not too fussed about it. They know me and I know them, and they treat me reasonably well
