Do you go to the Hudson Yards one?
Maybe it’s more friendly there and I should switch…

IMO, Hudson Yards is much friendlier than 5th Ave and maybe less VVIPs. I was able to get the HP last year and my spend is just around $20K. They are also generous with gifts. I didn't inquire for this years HP though as I'm not interested in a porcelain and wg.

My SA moved to 5th Ave and I followed him there but I'm thinking of going back to HY as I prefer the less crowded and nicer vibe of HY.
 
VCA has not put it up on their Instagram page either. That’s a first I suppose?
My SA told me today I am on her list, but she didn’t give me a timeline
Every reseller I know has one listed already!!!

Could be why they haven’t released an official photo yet - resellers.

How terrible that so many already have it listed for sale when actual clients are still trying to get one. :mad::annoyed::confused1:.
I hope they do start blacklisting resellers:yes:.
 
Is it my eyes or does every pendant seem to not be fully saturated with color? It seems to go beyond just the white border this time around. Maybe I'm just seeing things, but I feel like I've fully talked myself out of this one despite it being a very pretty color.
I've noticed it as well, in nearly every photo posted...

Yes, it has been every photo posted. The stock photo seems to be fully saturated, but not the real life photos.
Isn't that the watercolour effect someone was talking about before?
I mean "watercolor" to me sounds like an excuse for it not being fully saturated. It looks to me like the color fades out as you get to the borders.
 
If VCA's intention really way to prevent resellers from snagging the HP, then I wish they would have used the "list of names" to cross-check with anyone who's been blacklisted or suspected of being a reseller. Then they could let individual boutiques/SAs figure out for themselves who to offer their HPs too.

But the way they did things this year is just so...insulting.
 
Anyone know what the criteria to purchase one in Canada is?
Not 100% sure, but my SA said that the list came from corporate. The SAs can inquire about specific clients, but it is still up to HQ to approve who to sell to.
As for all the comments about purchases in other countries and to provide another data point, I have made most of my purchases at my local store but have also made purchases in Europe while on travels this year and was offered a HP yesterday.

Totally agree with the insulting part.

In all honesty, with any limited edition or highly coveted pieces, it’s really impossible to keep all resellers away. But what VCA did this year is not only helping resellers jerking up their prices even more but also alienating a lot of true long time VCA lovers. One of the worst marketing strategies ever!

Not just resellers, the people on the “list” who sell it too hopefully
