Yikes! This approach from vca seems to be having the reverse affect of what they wanted… the fun highly anticipated holiday pendent everyone looks forward to every year is now just a stressful “mean girl” situation (to those who don’t get offered one which sounds like a lot). It’s sad to see this… people get excited for the pendent to buy them for themselves or special gifts to their daughters (especially if they were born that year) or to gift them to their spouse. Sure the collector wants them but a lot of the time it is much more special. Even if they get offered later… it’s not the same. No one wants a pendent this way and it probably would be disliked for the mere reminder that you weren’t offering until the following waves of pendents. How did vca mess this one up?! It’s just a single pendent once a year! Why would a client stay loyal to their CURRENT SA if their SA did NOT offer them a pendent this year? Find a new SA and a new store if you want one next year. If they said no this year they won’t have a problem saying it again next year IMO.
 
Are you referring to the hp or the turquoise butterfly necklace? I was referring to the butterfly necklace.
Are you referring to the two butterfly Necklace in Turquoise? I believe there is one in the Toronto Boutique now, at least it was still there last week. It's been on display and for sale for about at least 3 weeks. Walk-ins are welcome to buy it.

It's interesting to see so much variance in policies between different boutiques.

I’ve been following this HP chat since it’s started and I must admit that I was initially unsure due to its porcelain material and all it’s accompanying ‘cons’ but seeing it IRL, plus the thumb-up by DH & DD who have way better taste than me, made me decide to get it.

I do prefer WG and I have the WG guilloche HP. I love the guilloche in a different way than this year’s HP. The guilloche one is simply bursting with shine but this year’s HP is understated and sweet. I will style it with my pinks and blue pastel tops and will be lovely with my Blue Lin Birkin.

My SA told me about their concerns of resellers selling last year’s HP too and how all names have to be cleared with Paris before it is offered to the selected clients.

For those who are not offered, fret not. Over time, HP stones regularly make it’s way into mainstream collection just like the guilloche WG. It may not have the diamond in the centre but it is nonetheless gorgeous.
 
Congrats! But I really don’t believe whatever the SAs are claiming anymore. As someone who’s been consistently buying for 14 years, including every holiday pendants for the last ten years and lots and lots of pave pieces and the Pont does Amoureux watch, it was very disheartening to be told that I‘m not qualified for the initial launch and will have to wait for later releases. I guess time to move on to other brands who will appreciate a loyal client more.
I’m with you. I have consistently bought from 3 countries because I either worked there or travel there frequently and not even 1 of the countries had an allocation for me. So money saved for another brand. But I do feel slighted and even more when you see ‘loyal’ clients that got allocated selling it to a reseller.
 
My SA showed me 3 with hues varying from light to deep.. in person, I preferred the light one. I asked her how they decided on allocating the pendant and she said this year, Paris HQ sent them a list which was based on consistent purchase history and interestingly/(oddly?), whether one also got last year’s holiday pendant.

That’s very interesting!
My SA also told me the whole list for HP this year was sent directly from hq and the individual SAs did not have a power to add or omit a client
Saying this - I was offered last year as well but rejected it coz pink is not really my vibe but got an offer this year…

Maybe they are trying to give it to those who never purchased a HP…? Idk..
 
I think it's gorgeous!! Congrats!! Where are you located?
Located in Sydney Australia!

Love the colour of yours. How would you describe or compare the colour to?
Mine looks a bit more saturated..? than other pics here - a bit more blue, closer to turquoise! I love a bright blue so this was perfect!
Can’t compare the colour to anything as this particular shade varies a lot depending on the lighting, texture etc. ☺️

Yes, there was pjs last week when I picked up my bracelet. My SA mentioned it but I am not YG person so I didn’t even try it but could have purchased one if I wanted.
