Did I mess up?

I recently moved out of Australia, but I still visit a few times a year for business, and I usually find time to shop with my SA, who I have a lovely relationship with.

I happen to be in Australia for five days this week, from the 17th to the 21st. Before my trip, I texted my SA to see which day she would be available. She told me she was off on the 18th, but would be available on the 19th and would love to see me as well.

Today, the 18th, I was in the city with nothing much to do, so I decided to drop by Hermès with a friend. I checked for my SA, but obviously she wasn’t there, just as she had mentioned. I was then paired with a different SA, which I didn’t mind at all as I was only planning to look around anyway and was planning to make my purchases with my original SA tomorrow.

The SA I met today asked for my profile when I jokingly asked if they could offer me any bags. They pulled up my profile, looked at it, said “wow,” and, in short, throughout the whole interaction ended up offering me a Kelly To Go, a Mini Herbag, and a Geta without me having to make any additional purchases.

I ended up purchasing the Kelly To Go and Mini Herbag under my account. The Geta had to go under my friend’s account, as I was only allowed to purchase one bag that day.

After the purchase, he gave me his contact details and happily said, “You have a really good profile here in Australia. You should pursue it.”

Now I’m wondering, did I somehow mess up my relationship with my original SA by making these purchases? I genuinely had no intention of purchasing anything in Australia other than through her, especially since I had already planned to see her tomorrow. But at the same time, who am I to turn down three readily available bags, especially when they were offered without requiring me to make any additional purchases?

Is Etoupe a bit of an older person’s color or not as preferred?

I recently went in to update my wishlist with my SA, and when I mentioned Etoupe, she said she wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for someone my age (24) and that several of her clients had told her that they find themselves not reaching for their Etoupe bags as often as they had expected because the particular type of brown Etoupe is, is a bit hard to coordinate with clothing.

I’d especially love to hear from those who have owned Etoupe, as well as anyone who considered it but decided to choose another colour.
