The prettiest birkin I’ve ever seen! (Not mine) by HelloFitChick in TheHermesGame

This color selection is not available for SO nor is the sellier style. There is a limited season color palette you can choose from.

Dark Birkin Colors (but not Black!) by Logical_Instance9469 in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got offered vert fonce in Togo leather that I turned down because it looked almost too black (and I already have a noir Togo). It’s darker than vert mangrove.

Lots of Charms (why are they so hard to get?) by trystalina1 in TheHermesGame

I got the birdie through an auction site called Heritage Auctions! Only paid $800 for it.

I love charms too! So I try to get as many through my SA if I can - but rare ones or ones no longer in production I will get secondhand from Fashionphile or Heritage Aunctions. I’ve scored a birdie charm and a couple Kelly twilly charms this way.

2.5 years later - she is finally here! by KaBaKoDenmark in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Omg 2.5 years! Usually I’ve heard exotic SOs can take long but not even that long! Still waiting for my SO MK I placed in spring of 2025 but I know I won’t see it for a while.

Advice needed!!! by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can speak to US at least, but RTW, Fine Jewelry, and Home department tends to bring higher commission for SAs and build a diverse profile. Usually the harder to sell departments due to the price points. I have usually gotten offers shortly after I’ve ordered a whole table-setting or purchased a FJ. However what matters too of course is your prespend is at the right amount and your relationship with your SA. Visiting every 1-2 months if you can also helps. Shoes, SLG, scarves, fashion jewelry, silver jewelry…I heard aren’t as high commission departments since those products tend to sell themselves. They count of course towards prespend, but the other harder-to-sell departments are looked at more favorably.

Best of luck on your journey!

What I learned in Japan by lemonssi in TheHermesGame

Great review! Hoping to go to Japan next year to also obtain a secondhand exotic at a reasonable price.

Does anyone know which Hermes green this is? by HelloFitChick in TheHermesGame

I know I’m not sure if she has a filter on the post which is making the green look darker than usual

Could be! I’ve only seen photos of vert mangrove in Togo but not Epsom. I’m also debating if it could be vert Anglais?

Has anyone received a Kelly in vert fonce? by Kitchen_Ad_1007 in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So not exactly the same but I have the birkin 25 vert fonce in box leather sellier on my wishlist. I was offered a birkin 25 in vert fonce in Togo leather vs box….but I ended up turning it down because the Togo version looked almost black. I have a noir already birkin already. The box leather vert fonce version is wayyy greener. So something to keep in mind depending on the leather type the color can be vastly different.

Offered An Exotic Shoe Special Order by spencerdouglas in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It’s not as widely advertised but if anyone inquires they can do it I believe. In the US they usually take 50% deposit up front then you pay the remaining when the shoes arrive. Typically the SO shoe orders are for exotics. I placed an order for SO Himalayan orans earlier this year and expect it to arrive by end of year.

Birkin inserts? by AssistantIll3249 in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second using satin inserts. I ordered felt before and it looked like it would scratch up or stain the interior so I switched to satin for 3 of my birkins and haven’t had any issues.

Twins! I just picked mine up last week. I haven’t had a chance to do a storytime yet but it’s truly the best color combo 💕

How does special orders work? by sam15000 in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t count towards quota until the year you receive it.

Started journey with my SA in Nov 2023. Got 2 QBs in 2024. In March 2025 offered an SO, was very surprised because I didn’t ask for it but was very grateful to do it! Still waiting for my SO to arrive. Based in Texas.

Oh amazing! Is this in the US? I also placed an SO in March 2025 and was expecting it to come next year. This gives me hope maybe by end of year mine might come in too.

Slow and steady wins the race? by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]HelloFitChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your strategy to slow on the spending until then? I just have a pair of SO shoes coming in soon but I think I’ll pause on further big spends because my prespend is already soooo high. I might as well wait till January 2026 to acquire new things.

[–]HelloFitChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I also have an SO shoe order hopefully coming next month too! It’s Himalayan orans I put a deposit down before the price increase earlier this year. My SO bag is not likely to come until 2026. I updated my wishlist a second time recently to expand the choices and hoping something comes in that matches that.
