[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much for watching!! 💕🤩

[@lookitsliena]

yaaay congrats! such a classic piece to add to your collection, enjoy! 💖 can’t wait to see what your SO will be 😁

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!!! 🤩🤩

[@leneay9]

wow she's stunning!! congratulations, i literally gasped when you pulled her out of the bag

[@Somidoshop]

I gasped too when I saw her for the first time 😆 thank you for watching!! 💕🙆🏻‍♀️

[@tlokorea]

Congrats 🎉 Noir is so practical and perfect. Can’t wait to see your SO when it happens!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! I’m so excited to share as well!! 🥰

[@HandbagFoodie]

EEK! I got so excited when I saw this video. She is STUNNING. I think this is the perfect addition - so timeless. Also, I think using your SO on your 💍 bag will allow you to choose exactly the specs of what you want. Congrats Somin! 🫶🏼

[@Somidoshop]

I totally agree!! 🥰 I’m happy with how things turned out in the end 🤭 can’t wait to share my SO!! Thank you for watching 🥹💕

[@w4768]

Wow congrats 😍😍 as soon as I saw the notification for this video I already felt excited for you 🤭🤭

Congratulations!! How excited!So happy for you!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@raisinandgranola]

Congrats, the new baby is lovely! ❤ Also love the two twillies. I like the fact that the back twilly is a darker one since it highlights the front twilly but still protects the back handle

[@Somidoshop]

My thoughts exactly!! Normally I like to match twillies but this combo worked perfectly! Thank you for watching 🥰💕

[@ThoughtfulLuxury]

Ahhh so happy for you. She is a beauty. Congrats! 😍

[@Somidoshop]

[@jadefor3st417]

Congratulations! Black with GHW is perfect! Great start to the new year. ❤

[@Somidoshop]

Yes I agree!! Such a classic combo 💕 Thank you for watching! 🙆🏻‍♀️🥰

[@TurtleMeeeP]

congrats on the bag omg!! Also, I love your celine earrings. I am now looking at getting a pair too! :D

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕 The Celine earrings are sooo cute and not to bad price either!! 🥰

[@anabella05]

Congrats! We are bag twins 👯‍♀️. Just got my first QB of the year too - mini kelly gold on gold 😊 Also, excited to see what you choose for your SO, pink or blue would be so fun! I am patiently waiting for my SO that I created in August in Paris (but it’s a boring/basic combo lol).

[@Somidoshop]

Omg nooo don’t say boring, neutral is best!! I most likely will go for a neutral color scheme for my SO as well because those never go out of style 😌😌 I hope you’re enjoying your mini Kelly, that combo is such a dream!! 😍

[@anabella05]

@@Somidoshop haha true! and it's more difficult to get neutrals in the boutique these days. I opted for a K25 sellier in Black epsom with brushed palladium hardware and Rose mexico interior. I'm sure whatever you choose will be stunning!

[@katjabarke1857]

What a beautiful bag! Congratulations 😍🤩

Thank you!! 🥹💕

[@00gnv00]

Ommgg yesss!!!😱 Congrats! It’s the perfect size and color.😍 I definitely love the black more than gold. I feel like brown/nude colors doesn’t suit me, therefore I love the color Black!😂 Also, I can’t wait to see what colors you pick for your SO!😮 I would definitely pick a mini Kelly as well if I got the chance to do a SO as well. Can’t wait to see your vlog for your ring shopping adventure!☺️ Congrats once again and have a great weekend!😊

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! I’m so excited for SO but at the same time I’m a very indecisive person so these kinds of decisions stress me out 😂😂

[@suzychang6698]

Congrats!!! Noir is so beautiful, timeless and striking in its own way. I have the B30 in noir and rghw and got the offer in a similar situation to yours - high prespend, long wait, asking for K25, urgent unexpected phone call. 😂

[@Somidoshop]

Omg! Were you disappointed about not getting the Kelly??

[@mindbodysoul8214]

Beautiful Bag... love your choice and the colors you've dressed it with. You're such a gorgeous person for the positive vibes you share for others. I wish you well in 2024.🤍

[@trangrina5974]

Congrats on your new B25, she looks absolutely gorgeous and classic! Love the gold hardware 😍Cannot wait to see your special order, that would be so exciting. Also, I agree with the Lunar New Year envelope part, it would have been better if they write it in English actually since LNY is celebrated in many Asian countries as well. Still a nice touch from the brand though.

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much for the congratulations 🥰 so excited to start bringing her out! 🤭🤭

[@eileenchen8137]

Congrats on your new bag!!! I 100% prefer B25 so much that I sold the 30 and no regrets.

[@Somidoshop]

I do have to say I love the b25 size 😂 but as my first qb ever my gold b30 will always have a special place in my heart 🥰🥰

[@Jetsethermes]

I’m a birkin girl too! I have two birkin 25s and I can’t tell you how much joy they bring me! Huge congrats on this AND the SO!! Which is so hard to get. Well done :)

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much!! We’re Birkin bbs!! 😍😍 what colors are your b25s??

[@Jetsethermes]

@@Somidoshop Etoupe with PHW and vert chypre with GHW - both are so different and fit different occasions! I would love a black b25 sellier with palladium hardware next for more of an evening chic look

[@21urbana]

What a lovely bag 😊!!!

[@user-jd7nj9cr1x]

Great videos! So insightful about the Hermes journey. I’ve just started mine at the SF store. If you don’t mind my asking, who was your SA? And how much does the Birkin 25 Noir retail for? Thanks a bunch!!

[@Somidoshop]

Sorry, as I’m very open about my Hermes journey I don’t share information about my SA 🥹 but the B25 retails for $11,400 USD pretax now in 2024! I wish you all the luck as you start your journey!! 🥰🥰

[@LinhPham-kg8xd]

Congrats! If u don’t mind me asking that How long have u been with Hermes and how much did u spend so far? Thanks

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! I’ve been with the brand for 6 months! Including all QBs and everything I’ve spent probably 80-90k usd!

[@elissasutanto119]

Congratulations on your new beauty! Curious what stamp it is ☺️

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕 It is stamp B, don’t think any of the 2024 stamp have been released yet!

Congratulations!! You are soo gorgeous. PS: which mascara do you use?

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕🙆🏻‍♀️ I wish my eyelashes were that long irl 😂 but I just use lashify lash extensions and no eye makeup whatsoever!! Super easy to put on and long lasting!

[@user-yk6cp7gt1e]

How does the leather compare from the b30 to b25? I know they are both Togo, but do they feel the same?

[@Somidoshop]

Yes they feel the same in my opinion!

[@afihaileywibowo1095]

Noooo..😂😂😂 I love both! 😍😍

[@JO-hy1fj]

I love the noir with gold. I prefer the 30 size with gold hardware. The 25 is adorable though.

[@Somidoshop]

30 size is definitely a great size!! Especially in noir you can kind of bang it around without worrying it some much about the wear 🥰 the 25 though is considerably lighter though which I appreciate 😂

[@jaylai2413]

Congrats such a classy beautiful piece to your H collection. May I ask what you have purchased prior been offered this beauty? Thanks.

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! Since my last QB I bought a few rodeos, a tea cup pair, a pair of chypre, some men’s items like a t-shirt and sneakers, and maybe a couple of other items!

[@nunya759]

congrats congrats !!!!!!!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you! 💕🥰

[@askjennanything]

It looks beautiful! For your SO, you could try to have a different colour that’s not a neutral since you have gold and noir in your B30 and B25! You maybe a light grey or a light purple? Hehe just my two cents. Congratulations on your new baby!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much!!! You are right on the money with my favorite colors (Gris pale and mauve pale 🤭) The actual colors I pick will have to be a game day decision but I do want to mix it up a little! Leaning towards maybe PHW or permabrass too as alllll my H bags are GHW 😂

[@iamflyingsnow]

Stunning score!!!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕

[@natasharomanova5875]

Congratulations on your bag! Please make a twilly video. Yours look very well done :)

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕 I will! 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@SaLy408]

Hi dear!! Congrats on your B25!! You mentioned that your prespend before this bag was in the 40-50k range. Is that amount after you reset your prespend after you got your quota bag last year? Asking for a friend 🤪

[@Somidoshop]

Yes, after reset 😂😂 don’t think my experience is common though!

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

IM SOOOO JEALOUSSSS OMG. I LOVE ITTTT. I thought it was gonna be the mini Kelly tbh!! But I’m happily surprised! 😍 I’m about to go to SF just to start shopping with them! Every sales associate I’ve met there has been so so nice even to tourists like me!! I have a friend and she lives there and has scored so many good bags😩 I want a b25 so bad but I refuse to pay resale price for it because it makes no sense to do that! Does SF just have the greatest stock or something?!?

[@Somidoshop]

SF is one of four flagships in the US!! I do think stock is generally good and my SA always tell me the SF SAs are the nicest 🥰 of course competition can be fierce 😫 but I definitely think it’s a great boutique to start your journey at!! 💕

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

@@Somidoshop I have two SAs in two diff locations Chicago and Naples, FL. I don’t necessarily recommend the Chicago store (rude in my experience) and I didn’t receive my b30 from them, but the Florida one is just lovely. It’s recently opened up in 2023 so I think they’re still getting a good footing in the ground! I would be open to switching to the SF store though just because their stock seems amazing and their sales associates seem to really care about their clients!! I love to see it 🥰. SF is just so far away from me, worth the airfare though!😂😂😂😂.

[@Somidoshop]

It does seem like newer stores can be better!! The topanga store that opened last year in California also had tons of stock and people were flocking like crazy 😂 though if you’re willing to travel maybe los Vegas or Hawaii would be better?! You can also make a vacation out of those trips 🤩

[@NaomiJones-pc3bz]

Hi Somin, I just watched your latest unboxing video and I'm absolutely thrilled for you! The Birkin 25 in Noir with Gold Hardware is such a timeless and elegant choice. It's fascinating to hear about your journey from initially wanting a Kelly to falling in love with this Birkin. Your story is a great reminder of the excitement and unpredictability that comes with luxury shopping. The way you described your decision-making process and the emotional connection you felt towards this Birkin really resonates with many luxury lovers. I'm also impressed with how you accessorized it with the twillies, adding a personal touch to the already stunning piece. Can't wait to see how you style it and looking forward to your future luxury adventures. Thanks for sharing your experience and joy with us!

[@Somidoshop]

Awww thank you so much for the sweet comment!! I love hearing other about people Hermes journeys so I thought it would be fun to share my experience with all of you as well 🥰🥰 Hopefully I’ll have more exciting content to share soon!! Also I forgot to show in the video but I had a so black touch rodeo that I got last year, it was the perfect finishing touch to my new b25! 🤭🤭

[@pinkpyrex4962]

would you be able to tell us what the price was for your Noir Birkin 25?

[@Somidoshop]

Yes! Went up by $1000 pre-tax 🥹 In 2023 it was $10,400 USD and I bought mine this year for $11,400 USD pretax

[@angelachan8409]

Can you make a video of how to tie a twilly especially the knot. Thanks.

[@Somidoshop]

I explain how I tie my twillies in this video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f52sc5l4h7Fga7csi=g9xwAhGmVv3SrqdC

[@martinasimunac482]

How much did you say that it was a prespend before being offered this 2nd quota bag?

[@WASP-ee7ey]

Thanks for your kind words about the H journey

[@Somidoshop]

Of course! Thank you for watching! 🙆🏻‍♀️💕

[@meld258]

You seem to have such pleasant experience with your store! Here my SA is not that engaging at all, and very secretive when it comes to stock. She doesn’t seem to work hard for me, never shows it.

[@Somidoshop]

😭😭😭 if you’re not having a good time shopping at Hermes then it’s never bad to consider switching SAs or stores! Shopping should always be a happy time 🥹

[@meld258]

@@SomidoshopI used to and then my old SA quit. We only have one store where I live! 😭 I am way pass due IMO for another quota with my pre spend with this new SA & she’s not been responsive/ engaging. The rest of the team here seems to be NOT friendly either. It sucks! I don’t want to be awkward switching to someone else in the same store I don’t know what to do…

[@kitk4tsworld]

you got your first QB in september and was disappointed that you didn't get offered a second before the year ends? What is the "usual" time frame of getting offered QB in between? just curious. Love both of your birkins!

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! Time between reeeeaaalllyy depends on your relationship with your SA and how often you frequent and purchase from the boutique imo! I was disappointed because I had a decent amount of pre spend and my SA seemed to hint that I would get my second QB that year, but then it didn’t happen 🥹 I think normally if you are aiming for two, >6 months in between is expected, but even getting 1 QB a year is a lot! 🥰

[@Sasha-uu1ep]

Is it yellow or rose gold ?

[@Somidoshop]

It is yellow gold!! I do find it hard to differentiate rose gold and yellow gold particularly on blue bags though. Much easier to see the difference on craie!

[@angelachan8409]

what's the color of the twillies?

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@nikkithompson1980]

Congratulations sis ❤ for getting your second quota bag. American definitely easier to get quota bag. I spend 35k AUD in Dec for my journey. I think that is around 23k USD, and I request BIrkin 30 in Dec. I won't get any 25 size as I do not have a small body frame like yourself. It will look weird holding 25 sizes on me. Lol 😂

[@Somidoshop]

I’ve heard Australia is tough 😭😭 but your b30 will come soon!! You’ve only just started your journey 🥰🥰

[@nikkithompson1980]

@Somidoshop I started my Hermes journeys last year Feb. I did go slow with my journey, but I did panick buy the fine jewellery in Dec when my SA said the price increase is significant on the new year. I think I saved 5k on those fine jewellery I bought last year, Dec, if I have to do it this year for my journey. I never requested any quota bags until Dec since I already surpassed my prespend for the Birkin 30. 🤗🫰Yes, Australia is a tough market for quota bags. Australia only allows 1 quota bag per year unless a VVVIP that spends a lot, then can get 2 quota bags per year. Living lux with meridith got 2 quota bag last year and she from Sydney. She got her KZbin channel here.

[@StephNP28]

Congrats!! I def thought it was going to be a Kelly lol I’m still waiting on my Kelly bag.. but losing hope at this point haha especially if you haven’t received yours yet! The b25 is perfect for you!

[@Somidoshop]

Nooo I’m sure yours will come soon!! Are you only open to Kelly and not b/c??

[@StephNP28]

@@Somidoshop for now I’m just interested in the Kelly but may broaden my wishlist to include a birkin soon, I love both but just need a shoulder strap these days (my hands are always full with my two lil boys haha); not real crazy about the Constance though. I do like the shoulder birkin that is supposed to be reintroduced this coming spring I believe 🤔 it’s supposed to fit on the shoulder so could work for me!

[@analaurafrancos998]

Beautiful! But it’s not true I got a quota bag the same day I placed my SO, my SA surprised me with it after I finish the paperwork. I also got a mini Kelly on the same year. So 100% nor true

I think I’ve been seeing similar comments on a different thread I was looking at! Could’ve just been a thing my SA said 😂 or boutique specific 🫣
