[@everydayluxury]

Wow what a great story and amazing VIP experience!! Beautiful Birkin too!!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you! It is an experience I will never forget! Thanks for watching!!

[@Wildunfiltered]

Going back and binge watching your videos! love your story - I find it so interesting to hear how people have managed to score a Hermes bag. She is a beautiful stunning bag and the dream! Welcome to YOuTube!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I love watching the paris Hermes videos. Always interesting. Thank you! Definitely a forever bag

[@KatieLuxe]

How incredible that she had your exact dream bag!!! It’s perfect ❤❤ Sounds like a dreamy experience.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I felt incredibly lucky on so many different levels and extremely grateful!!

[@classicswithaquirk]

What a story! definitely not the usual one. Very very cool to have all those things happen for you to get the bag of your dreams ❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks, Quirky! It was a dream come true, for sure.

[@mariafindlux1512]

Congratulations 🎉what a beautiful story to listen to and you’re a great storyteller. Enjoy your beautiful bag wishing you and hubby a very happy anniversary.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you, Maria. That’s so sweet of you. It’s a memory that I’ll cherish forever. Thanks for watching!!

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

What a fabulous story!! And congratulations! Sounds like you had a truly special experience, and that you recognize and appreciate how unique that situation was! You were cracking me up saying how suspicious you were about it all working out because that would have been me too!! In fact I almost ruined a big surprise once by “backseat driving” a situation and hubs had to finally say “quit worrying and trying to figure it out!! I have it all arranged!!” He was right 😂😂😂 Also the fact that you saw someone offered a blue nuit??!! 😱😍🫠 I’d be over the moon!! It’s encouraging to hear that they’re still being offered/in circulation even though they’re not a current color. Btw some people were saying your story was too long - I was totally engrossed and I’d flew by for me! I thought you told it well! That metro situation… 🤔🤔🤔 I know this video is a year old but just wanted to throw my 2c in! ❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

So glad you enjoyed the story. I can’t help it. I’m a detail person, so I tell it all. And when I hear someone else telling a story, I want ALL the details. 💜

[@michellecrawford5692]

Great video! You are such a good storyteller! I look forward to watching more of your videos…. Maybe some Fendi unboxings soon!😊

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks Michelle! And, as a matter of fact, there’s a fendi unboxing coming in the next day or so!! Stay tuned!❤️

[@myluxurycloset529]

what an awesome experience🎉🎉🎉

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was amazing! Once in a lifetime for sure!!

[@trichelenubla2432]

Congratulations! How exciting! Would love to know which hotel you stayed at 🥰

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!! It was such an amazing experience!

[@katemiller7874]

Very interesting story. I think it would be helpful to tell others which hotel you stayed at. Also what was your prior spend. Sounds like an excellent experience for your anniversary. Congrats.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was a roller coaster for sure but excellent for sure. I would recommend to anyone to ask their hotel concierge if they have the ability to make an appointment for you. The worst they can say is no.

[@katemiller7874]

Great advice

[@michellesu2005]

May I know if there is any fees to pay the concierge because he bring you to the Hermès store, and after you score a bag, do you need to pay him tips base on the purchase price, like we usually pay to waiter in the restaurant ?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

There weren’t any fees. But we did get him a gift as a show of gratitude for all his help.

[@wadiahal-filfil1598]

Sooo happy for u ❤❤❤❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!💜

[@baharcloset]

omg! one of the most interesting stores on scoring a birkin at paris and you got the absolute unicorn blackkk wowww

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks Bahar!! It was definitely a wild ride but so happy with what I got! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@yinetrodriguez4797]

At what hotel did you stay? ( if you dont mind sharing) I was told at the plaza where I stayed that Hermes no longer takes apt from them and the same with big Hotels like the Four seasons, etc. I watched another Video where this person confirmed the info I was given but she stayed in a small boutique Hotel and the concierge was able to book an apt. Congrats on your new bay its dreamy!! ❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Yinet, thank you so much. Unfortunately I am not able to disclose the hotel name. I can say that we always stay at Bonvoy member hotels. Thanks for watching!!

[@ayeletskincare]

Love the Black Birkin bags, enjoy it 👌

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It’s definitely a forever bag!

[@sodriscoll77]

Congratulations on getting your beautiful bag❤ Did I miss what was in the smaller box that the SA brought over to you?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!! I think it was the Halzan. I honestly didn’t pay that much attention as I wasn’t interested in it at all and I’d never heard of it before. Thanks for watching!!

[@Seemstobereal]

Beautiful bag! Congratulations ..happy Anniversary! Lots of brownie points for hubby lol

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you so much!! And yes, he’s amazing!!

[@vanessazannis5523]

Congratulations on your new bag! Congratulations on your new KZbin channel! Definitely you had a VIP personal shopper appointment arranged because your consierge at the 5 star hotel that you stayed at networked old school with other 5 star concierges to get you an appointment. 99% will never have this experience or report it on any format or even understand. Most will think that you’re lying. Oh well 💗

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!! I know my situation was incredibly unique and I am forever grateful for my husband and the concierge!! But, I definitely think it’s worth asking your concierge if you’re going. All they can say is no. Thanks for watching and checking out my new channel. It means a lot!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Congratulations- great to hear a different story about this crazy cat and mouse game at Hermes!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I felt incredibly lucky that it actually worked out. It just goes to show that it never hurts to ask.

[@cocosu1748]

Congratulations! Would you mind sharing the hotel you stayed in?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Hi Coco! Thanks so much for watching. Unfortunately I am unable to share which hotel we stayed in. We are Marriott Bonvoy members however if that helps at all.

[@ItsJessDee]

The bag is beautiful!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Awwwww, thank you! I love it so much!!

[@bethhanley9897]

Congratulations. How long did the vat refund take? I'm waiting on mine for 4 weeks so far

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!! So my Hermes one wasn’t an issue. It probably took about a month. My Chanel one was a very different story. Will probably do a video on it so people know what could happen.

[@wendydu9349]

congrats! love your videos! you mentioned something about a refund due to an issue? could you elaborate on that?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Hi Wendy! So glad you’re enjoying my videos. I think you’re referring to a reference to the VAT refund. I had an issue getting my refund on my Chanel classic flap. I plan to do a video about the process and what to watch out for. Thanks for watching!

[@kelleyr8702]

You crack me up- you said you were bonding with the first girl but you didn’t remember her name😂😂😂

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

That is funny. In all fairness, I filmed this video about 9 months after I was there lol

[@NickSmoll]

Great vid! 👍

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you!!!

[@LifewithLokie]

Congrats hun!! Your experience sounded amazing and very very unique! 🥰 love your new bag and do enjoy your new baby! Fellow H lover and youtuber too, let's connect soon!!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you! I feel incredibly lucky. Will definitely check out your channel!!

[@LaThomasAndAngelo]

Great story! Can you share why you “can’t” tell us the hotel? There are 35+ Marriotts in Paris lol😅

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks! The hotel asked me not to share as they didn’t want an influx of requests since this was a one of its kind request. Hope that makes sense. I would just encourage anyone to ask their concierge if they can help at all.

[@lienecarter6411]

I wonder if you were expected to tip or somehow take care of the concierge? He really put his neck out.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

We did get him a very nice bottle of wine (thats what the general manager thought he would enjoy) and a thank you note. And yes, so grateful for what he did.

[@JO-hy1fj]

Enjoy it so lucky

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you. It was a dream come true!

[@KathyIbarra]

Thank you for sharing your story! As someone else who lives “in the middle,” it sounds like a dream come true. Your bag is beautiful 😍 and happy anniversary!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thank you so much! And I’m so glad to hear from another “in the middle” viewer. It can be really hard to get your hands on pieces when you don’t live in a big metro area. Thanks again for watching!!

[@MG-em3wp]

Great story…but it could have been shorter. A bit rambling. But I enjoyed the story, just wanted it to not drag on.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I appreciate you watching.

[@davidsmall8749]

Lisa, you ROCK!!!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Ty!!
