No pre-spending needed to purchase, that is my understanding. However Dallas boutique is relatively small compared to the DFW area population that it serve. Earrings and bracelets are popular items and usually do not stay long on the shelves. SA do their best to order items for you if they do not have the item currently in boutique, if can be ordered online. Once placed order, they would give you an estimated wait time. Good news is Dallas boutique is expanding!! Hopefully more creations will flow in after the expansion. My SA did forewarned me French has many holidays in month of August. French workshop usually has low production during month of August, so I been told. You might get lucky and get your bracelet quick. I got hammered 5M RG bracelet with no wait time. But I waited a year for sweet turquoise earrings. It is just really hard to say about the wait time. Best of luck to you.
