2025 年 2 月在倫敦希斯洛 T5 轉機，離登機還有三小時，老婆交代順路看看有沒有喜歡的皮夾。劇本很單純：進去、拿個 Bearn、走人。 走進去的時候店裡人不多，櫃上就絲巾、皮夾、幾個 Rodeo，包包區是空的——T5 那間本來就小，看起來就是一般機場店。 櫃姐是個英國女生，戴米色皮手套。我裝得很自然：「I'm looking for a bifold, something classic. It's for my wife.」 挑到一款 Bearn，我問顏色，她說：「This colour is out of stock today, we only have black.」我立刻接：「Oh... she already has a black one.」（我老婆連一條 H 絲巾都沒有。） 然後那句我預演了五分鐘的台詞：「But while I'm here... do you have any bags available?」 櫃姐停了兩秒，說：「Let me check, one moment please.」轉身走進後面那道小門，消失了大概一分鐘。 再出來時，手上多了一個橘色塵袋。解開、鋪平，一咖大象灰 Evelyne 29 放在我面前。 她只問了一句：「Are you flying outside the UK today?」我們家在 H 的履歷就是一張白紙。lifetime 0、prespend 0，她看起來卻完全不在意。 但問題是——我太太心心念念的是 Mini Halzan，不是 Evelyne。連顏色都選好了，說要奶茶或杏色。Evelyne 29 又偏大，老婆 158，我腦袋裡浮現她背出門垮到大腿那種畫面。買了大概會是「她還是會謝謝你，但不會天天背」那種結局。 掙扎了大概三十秒，還是開口：「I'm just wondering—do you happen to have any Mini Halzan available?」櫃姐很有禮貌地搖頭：「I'm afraid we don't have any Halzan in stock, they're very hard to come by these days.」 我追問了一句：「Not even in the back?」「I've just checked this morning.」 又站了一下，我跟她說：「It's a beautiful bag, but my wife's been waiting for a Halzan specifically. I think I'll hold out. Thank you.」櫃姐把包收回塵袋，笑著說：「That's a thoughtful reason. She's lucky.」 心得很簡單兩句：機場 H 的包不會擺出來，要開口問才會進後面看；遇到了不代表要買，對的包遇到對的人才算數。

伦敦爱马仕。被offer了minikelly二代天花板奶昔白。天呐！邮件差点没看到，然后把那么重要的邮件分为垃圾邮件。还只给保留五天，还好在第四天发现，疯狂拍大腿赶紧去拿下。邮件内容：Kelly Sellier Mini，Veau Epsom，Craie，Palladium Hardware，£7

爱马仕零配原来是真的。去年在店里买香水随手留了个wishlist，今年renew一下，结果收到邮件说有包可以拿。金棕色金扣birkin30，今年新刻印K刻。之前听说英国中国人不好拿包，用家属账号实买实买但一个quota包都没有，这东西真的很随机。发布在英国。

历时10个月，伦敦爱马仕顺利毕业。今年年初作为新手小白初入马场，以游戏心态开启了配货之旅，目的是以相对较低的配比赛BKC。4月拿到黑色银扣康康18，配比1:0.4都不到，当时收到包部件不齐。平均配比远低于1:1。

意外之喜Kelly25大象灰金扣。没想到Kelly的wish fulfilled！还是大象灰金扣！完全意外之喜，好久没去H厂充值了。今年真的没怎么配，甚至还清仓了H厂股票。配比不到0.5，开心！没想好配哪条Twilly。英国配比真好（评论）。

收到爱马仕邮件通知wish bag来了，Kelly 25只等了一周（mini2代等最久的一只）。此次wish：款式Kelly尺寸25颜色大象灰，金属扣金色or玫瑰金（SA劝多几个选择我坚定拒绝），皮质togo内缝，无任何换替选项。Hermes信件确认leather: Togo, Etoupe。编辑于2024-05-15英国。

2024第一支招财黄i8。今年的新色米歇尔黄Jaune Milton。本来想要的wish是白色的mini Kelly没想到offer了这个颜色，我也只能拿微微的yesyesyes了。伦敦购买。
