My First Hermès, I got Her!

I just couldn't believe that she's mine now, my first Hermès. Here goes the story...


HY was on a short business trip to SG. I was so eager and asked him to check out the Hermès for me, as there are a few boutiques in SG. First night, he went to Takashimaya but it wasn't a fruitful hunt. The poor SA, who was seriously lacking of bag knowledge, didn't even know what type of bag he was asking for, even HY showed her the pic. Seriously she should be fired. After that, she wanted to clarify with her manager about it but HY was kind of annoyed, so he just said thank you and walked out of the boutique.


Second night, since he was staying at Marina Bay Sands, so he checked on it there. The SA told him the bag was out of stock, as usual. But he did took down HY's contact, and promised to call him when the stock has arrived, which I don't know how reliable can it be. With a dying heart, my mood was getting real bad.


Third day morning, HY was at Changi Airport, on his way back home. So he stepped into Hermès Changi. He showed the pic to the SA, and she replied, "Oh.. we don't have this colour." HY was puzzled... "You don't have this colour? So you mean other colours are available?" And she smiled and pointed to the top part of the shelf... "Yah we have 2 in stock now, pink and black, just arrived yesterday!"


Ops... and the rest was not important anymore. HY quickly called me, and asked about the colour I want. However, the bag was of bigger size (40cm), and I actually wanted a smaller size initially (32cm). Well the size isn't an important issue, and I decided on black colour, since I just got a Miu Miu Coffer in Pink. Furthermore, bigger size can cover my needs for working & travelling.


After a moment, HY called me again, and asked me if I want the Orange Box as well. Oh my God, he got to be kidding me. How meaningless to get the first Hermès without the classic Orange Box, where every girl is dreaming about. I was screaming over the phone, so poor HY dragged the bag + orange huge box all the way back *wink wink* :) The kind SA even gave him an extra orange paper bag, and brown ribbon, just in case the original one was torn on the way home. So who is sweeter? HY, SA or Hermès?


While he was making the payment, another customer was looking at the pink colour which I didn't choose. And I bet, it was sold out immediately after that.

Hermès Herbag Zip

I really like this beauty, Herbag Zip from Hermès. It looks so light to carry, and is definitely a good daily companion. It also comes with a small attached internal pouch, good to keep your valuable belongings. Few weeks ago, it was available in Hermès US and UK website. And of course, this piece of hot cake was sold out in just a twinkling of eye. Those who are interested, hope the luck can strike on you!

What is it about April?

It's April. While people are busy talking about Fall/Winter collection, and guess what, the items which I ordered for Spring/Summer are still not in sight :( What a horrible truth! Is it so difficult for the store to have them in stock? This is extremely sickening. Pending and pending... Just never belong to me.

Any surprises for me this month? HY is flying to SG for business trip in 2 weeks time. How I wish to follow, and yes indeed I hate my tight schedule :( Nah I just need some shopping, come on, give me a break! Can he bring back something to me? Ohh I really wish...
It's alright, I always believe that, if it is meant to be mine, it will be mine. Lame? I bet.

Alright, off to bed. Wish to have a sparkling April. And so does everyone!
