![]() ![]() He was so knowledgeable about the different leathers and even showed us which had the best smell (I was geeking out in the best way possible). One of the Sales Associate said “of course,” and showed me a variety of Calvi Cardholders. I went over to two who were conversing among themselves- greeting them in French and asked for help. Once we were ready to shop, I noticed most of the Sales Associates were busy. I honestly felt so grateful to now have her as a Sales Associate because she truly made my birthday incredibly special. Prior to heading out, she told me how important it was to her to make her clients happy, and she was glad to do the same for me. We filmed a quick video, and the SA agreed that I could share her name when I published my video on YouTube, which I appreciated. To me, it seemed like a timeless leather that I would love forever. In her opinion, this leather is more structured than Box and less scratchable than Swift. She told me that it was Tadelakt which is a cross between Box and Swift. At first, I did not recognize this leather (it looked a lot like Box leather), so I asked the Sales Associate about it. ![]() It was a Kelly 25 in Rouge Vif (a true red color in my opinion, and often compared to Rouge Casaque). The bag that I had waited so patiently for was now finally mine. I think she could tell, so she winked and said something to the effect of “I think you’re going to like this bag.” Then, she rolled down the dust bag, and wow… the Kelly bag of my dreams appeared. Honestly, I was a ball of nerves at this point, so I didn’t really make any guesses. It could be any bag, right? The SA was so cute and raised her eyebrows twice- asking me to guess what the bag was. It was small compared to my Birkin 30 box, so I was hopeful but still apprehensive. Within 5 minutes, our wonderful SA returned with an orange box. I said, “Well, my number one bag choice would be a Kelly Sellier 25 in true red color with gold hardware.” With that, off she went to check the back. Thankfully, after such a great conversation with her earlier, I felt comfortable doing so. She responded with a smile, “Okay, so you seem to want any Kelly.” This is when I realized I had blatantly spewed out my wish list and needed to be more specific. It was my entire wish list that I rattled off in the hopes of being open-minded. What kind?” I responded with a variety of colors and leathers, but all in size 25. We chatted some more about LA, until she sat us down at a nearby table, and pulled out her device and asked, “okay, so you want a Kelly. She was happy to say that she had resided there for quite some time and worked as a stylist. We chatted about Los Angeles where we live, and I asked her if she had ever been there. She responded, “okay” and then proceeded to make small talk with us. Personally, I was shocked by how blunt I was because the words just fell out of my mouth, but in a way, I’m kind of glad that they did. She then asked me, “how can I help you?” I responded, “I would like a Kelly for my birthday.” We told this SA to congratulate her for us, and she was happy to relay the message. My husband and I tried our best to do our greetings in French and then asked, “parlez-vous anglais?” To which, she replied, “Yes, of course.” We asked whether our Sales Associate from 2 years ago was around and were informed that she was on maternity leave. At the door, we were greeted by a kind Sales Associate. ![]()
