My Hermès, again!


One Friday evening, fly down to SG for weekend getaway. After checking in at MBS hotel, I had a stroll at MBS shoppes, alone. DH was busy with his business stuff so I had the time all for myself. Hopped into Hermes, I was like a lost sheep. My mind was full of impossible items. There comes a nice SA, and I asked her if Picotin was available. As expected, nothing was in stock. I tried on the belt instead, but the size was a little too tight, and it was one and only piece left. She went into the storeroom to search for a bigger size, but came out empty handed.

It was 8.30pm, and I was the only customer in the store.  Then, I started to chit chat with her regarding the stocks. She told me a very funny statement – Kelly & Birkin were no longer in waitlist, but in everyone’s “wishlist” instead!” A bitter-sweet truth. She was indeed a very nice and frank SA, I could sense it during our conversation.

And suddenly, I popped out one question, which was buried inside me since long ago.
“Do you actually help to take reservation for Lindy? I know this bag is of high demand too.” Out of my expectation, she actually said yes. I asked her how long would be the wait? Could it be few months, half a year, or even longer? She just gave me an uncertain smile. She also be frank and told me that she had a few customers who were asking for Lindy. So, after telling her the colour I want, I left my name and contact number with her, and politely thanked her for the nice chat. I also reserved a belt.

I didn’t put in any high hope, as I afraid that piece of paper will be ended up in the dustbin.

After 3 days, yes exactly 3 days, she called me. My mind was totally blank with this surprise call.

My Lindy 30 was arrived! So does the Constance Belt!

The rest isn’t important anymore………………….

And I eventually booked my flight for a day trip, just to collect my 2 babies. I will do a reveal soon, I promise. I still couldn't recover from the shock.


Oh No... :)
