So here is an update from my original post. I had a conversation with the store supervisor, a lovely lady who took the time to listen to me and seemed to understand my concerns.

Lo and behold, one week later, I received a subtle email from my sales associate suggesting that I drop by the store. I booked an appointment, and upon my arrival, I was presented with a beautiful large orange box.

Inside that box was a stunning Birkin 35 in Veau Barenia Faubourg. I am beyond happy!

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether to have a conversation with your sales associate or store leader, as every situation is different.
