Hermes Birkin Special Order- My Story 

It’s great that this bag has such a connection to the years where you were coming ‘of age’! I hope you get another one, I’m fairly certain you will!

I completely agree that the bag lining is all important. I love the attention to detail. They are both beautiful 💃

Congrats on this beauty Meredith, she's stunning! I especially love that you went with the rose hardware. Good luck on your continued journey. I believe that you've established a genuine connection with you SA and I feel like you'll get those Kellys. 🤗

Congratulations Meredith! Somehow I knew before you showed us the inside of the bag it was going to be hot pink! It’s absolutely classic with a twist!!! I love it!

Loved this video Meredith! I’m glad you left out all of the spend history and subjective parts as yes, you’re right, it’s not always relevant and every store/country is different. Sydney boutique is in a league of its own too! The ‘selfish detail’ is such a cool touch and I’m glad you went with this combo. The pink stitching would have been way too OTT and wouldn’t have blended with the overall look of the bag, so I’m glad you picked what you did! Bit sad you didn’t get the experience in the store, but you get the bag in the end which is all that matters! Congrats on her she’s beautiful xx

I love the story about how you got the special order! The bag is so stunning! 😍😍😍😍

I'm totally with you on crazy suit lining! 🤩 So cool! 😎 YES to selfish details! 😉🥂🖤💖

Thank you for sharing this story. She is truly a beauty! Love the pink lining and your reason for choosing it.

Congratulations on your new bag. It’s gorgeous. Love the lining and the pink gold ! Would love to see you do a comparison between the two sizes of picotins and what fits in each. Also some mod shots so we can get a better grasp of how big each one really is. I find lots of things look big on camera but in real life they are not nearly as big as the look . Enjoy your new beauty

You are the perfect RU-vidr on handbags!

Absolutely beautiful bag. I love the lining

I love the interior color and hardware!

Absolutely stunning bag!! Congrats! Enjoy it!!

What kinds of things have you loved and purchased? If you could only buy LV or only buy Hermes or only buy Fendi, and get whatever you want, without the Hermes limits, which brand would you choose? It was a really interesting video that I enjoyed. Birkins don’t particularly appeal to me, but I do love the Picotins that were behind you! They have so much character.

What a very interesting and fantastic story you have of both your beautiful Birkins Meredith. Especially with your 'Special Order'. A life long memory you will never forget. I hope you have a chance to get more of the special pieces you would like in the future. I am sure you will . Thank you for this video. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX

Congratulations 🎊 💖💖💖 on getting your dream bag. I adore that selfish detail. I also love a unique lining.

Congradulations Meredith!! The Bag is beautiful!!! WOW!!

I love the color combinations you chose 🖤🩷🖤🩷

Gorgeous! I'm happy you were able to get just what you wanted.

Loved every minute of this video….everyone’s experience is so different. Mine has been a very positive one thus far. Greta to hear your journey and thoughts on Hermes. Thank you Simone

Thanks for the video Meredith. Your special order bag is lovely. Hope you get your Kelly’s some day. 😀. Love the framboise Birkin as well.

Wow 🤩 both Birkins are Wow! Wonderful choices on the special order, makes so much sense. I’m a pink person 💗

“A Selfish Detail” Ha! So Hermès, so perfect 😅👏🏼 That Mexico bright pink is everything. This video will help so many people, amazing job Meredith! YT is your other calling !!! 🌟🏆😍🚀

A really cool video and super interesting ! Your colour combination is Stunningly Gorgeous 🥰 Such a special treat every time you open her 😊 Completely agree about the suit linings too !

That is a gorgeous bag!

never mind lol- I just got to the part where you said you want that next 😄

Hi ! I'm from Paris and in the courtyard of my building there IS a craft workshop with frames. In the showcase "window" there are photos of celebrities from the 60's and the 70's and you Can notice a black/white photo of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin with her iconic "Birkin". Happy you added the handbag "royalties" to your collection.

Love the interior.

Beautiful bags ,love the black with a pop of colour .

Loved this story! Thank you for sharing. Congratulations 🖤

Yippee delighted for you I'd love a mini kelly hope you get em all xx

thank you for your story. What a great opportunity especially since it seemed like everyone is so “you need to buy to get an offer”. I wish my SA was as encouraging. She’s nice but relatively new to Hermes so I’m not sure what she’s able to do for me. Even when I go into the store, there’s limited stock (in the popular items) in the stores I frequent.I’m going to Las Vegas next month and it will be interesting to see if that/those stores have more inventory. Enjoy your items. I too am a pink girl.

This bag is a stunner, 🤩 congrats getting your dream bag👏 💕

Wishlists in the UK are limited to one Birkin or Kelly (or, maybe, Constance?) at a time, so that's quite different to Australia. Fascinating to hear the differences in the process in different countries.... Also, that you could walk into the Sydney store and get an Hermès bag - over here, it's hugely lucky to get even the least sought after bags at any of our London standalone boutiques or concessions. Re: the resale market... a reseller in London has just sold a regular black B30 with rose gold hardware in 9/10 condition for nearly £18k. Craziness. LOVE your HSS bag 😍 Think it's actually super sensible to go for a bag you're going to use and love, rather than something that's designed purely to look like a special order!

Congratulations on your new bag gorgeous she is a beauty.🥰

Such a beautiful and unique piece! selfish details are oh so good 😌I

I don’t like saying what I spend either! People have asked so many times what I’ve spent in general and I’m like ugh don’t do that to me! 🥴🤦🏼‍♀️

Such a beautiful Birkin bag,congrats on getting it.

Hm you and Isabelle’s style just changed the hardware. Admittedly I would’ve gone crazy with the changes for a special order

Congrats! Beautiful bag!🤩😍❤

I didn’t know they even do the clochette lining in the special pink too! So cool! Thanks for sharing.

So close to 3k 🥳🤩😆😆😆😆🥂🥂🎉🥂🎉 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾😘

Wow that’s really an incredible bag 💕💕💕

I am eagerly awaiting your 3k subscriber milestone! Your videos are well organized and entertaining, and so would be surprised if you do not reach 10k by 2023!

Here I am watching this video and my eyes keep going back to your gorgeous green Picotin. LOL

I am not a fan of Birkin's but you'r are fabulous....makes me want to reconsider 🤩 Have a great one Meredith!

Meredith congratulations on this beauty.❤️

Congratulations on your special order Birkin! I am glad that you did not go with what's popular (smaller sized bags) but with what you truly loved. BTW, even though Sydney is competitive, it's no comparison to some part of Asia, where the spend to bag ratio could go as high as 8:1. Your bag luck does not 100% correlate to how much you spend, but what you bought, it nevertheless has a strong correlation to the amount you spend. People just have to realize that it's the game that you need to play, I don't understand people complain about this when there are so much information out there, you should have known before you go in. As you said Meredith, do your research. Congratulations again! I am sure a Kelly is on the way~

I guessed right 🙌 🙌 when you first showed it a few weeks ago 🏆 for me 😆

I have been waiting for about two years, an indecency. I don't give up because I don't want someone else to find it ready in a day

Thanks for sharing. My experience was really similar with my relationship with my sales associate. You def don’t need to include spend history on your video as it’s so subjective and different in many stores/countries. I have been offered my wish list items regularly which has been amazing. I have yet to be offered a special order but my sales associate is hopeful I won’t have to wait too long. I am blessed to even be considered so I am of course happy to wait! I am always thinking and researching in case I get the call but at present I have no idea what I would do.

Lovely bag. I always love a selfish detail.

Yeah Europe I think just has a Wishlist and how much you spend doesn’t matter

Meredith I really like the look of the picotin….do you use yours? Would you recommend?

Beautiful. Love the personal touches. I got my black unicorn earlier this year black 30 with ghw it’s in the unboxings somewhere if you want a look. New subbie xx

Love that bag! I would probably do the exact same thing in a 30!

🖤💗🖤 lovely experience congrats 🍾

Lovely special order Birkin and love the hidden detail. What kind of leather did you use in the interior and was there a choice of leather?

I would love to watch a video about your Hermes wishlist. I am also curious if non-“quota” bags can be ordered a la carte.

Thank you for making this video 💕

Enjoyed the video thx 🙏

Great video, do you plan on doing collection videos by house? I’d love to see your collection.

I’m surprised you didn’t order Ostrich since you love exotics. But your bag is STUNNING!

Loooooove the pink inside 💗💗💗 What are the handles made of and does that fabric come off? Love from NZ💗🇳🇿

Congratulations

Its great to have been offered, but as we all know buying certain items like ready to wear, sweaters etc always will get you high in the list. Here in Miami there are too many women that are high spenders. 2years buying stuff and 2 sales associates and still waiting. when they tell you im so sorry but I have people here that spend $50,000 in 1 appointment, so imagine, my competition...If I can go and spend $5000.00 every month, I would probably already have one. its so sad, but in any of this fashion houses, the more you spend, the best they treat you.

What Gorgeous pops of colour on both your Birkins Meredith! I love that you did a surprise interior that will make you smile every time you open the bag ….it’s like when we wear fancy underwear and nobody knows but us 😍 Thank you for all the details about your experience and congratulations on your special order 🎉

Not a question but a suggestion. You should get a Birkin or a Kelly with sterling silver hardware. It’s actually the rarest of all the meals for Hermes to use and I think it is just gorgeous against all of the leathers and colors.

If you pass them down to your children, they can decide whatever they want to do with these bags… it is such a burden to put on them when you said you would be roll over in your grave if they ended up selling these bags. Material things aren’t that serious.
