She’s already telling you that you can’t get one next year if you get one this year?! This is insane! I’d definitely switch SA/boutique if I were you.

She’s already telling you that you can’t get one next year if you get one this year?! This is insane! I’d definitely switch SA/boutique if I were you.
She has many clients and she said she wants everyone to be able to get one HP. Her boutique is kinda small and new so only receiving a small quantities this year. Plus I don't like the green undertone of the pendant so I decided to pass this year.
This is the first official one that I've seen that actually looks green. I like it.
I like when the holiday pendants are all the same color. This is the first time in a long time there have been so many variations.
last year has a lot of variation too. some was bright pink, iliac, and etc.
ohhhh I like the baby blue color more than the green. IMO. I see why you passed
Regardless of VCA’s tactics, there’s a brand identity issue with the color. In the wg it’s just so Tiffany that the color almost trumps Alhambra as a brand identifier for new jewelry shoppers anyway. They should’ve done it in yg, or perhaps utilized an actual natural gemstone. I don’t get the hype for this piece at all.
I'm not sure if they're VCA-specific resellers. But there's definitely a ton of resellers that flip all kinds of luxury items.
Touché.
Once someone brings it in for service, cleaning or even authentication, that’s when they will be able to figure it out.
It was kind of her to explain the situation to you. I do feel bad for the SAs - if it were up to them, of course they would sell as many as possible. The last thing they would want is to disappoint a client.
I hope you are the first one she reaches out to next year.
As a longtime holiday pendant collector I am so happy this year is in white gold and I LOVE the blue color. Brand identity is a stretch in my opinion.
Also aren't these high spend/VIP clients? How many of them would be really after making $1-$2K profit?
Sorry, I was referring to resellers or anyone purchasing with the intent of selling it.
Last year was so annoying. I was so annoyed how there was some individuals was able to get so many and sold them. I get if you get two one for you and your daughter, mom, sister I understand, but more than that it is pretty obvious that you are selling.
The resellers are able to get multiple pendents this year though… you can see it on other platforms that HPs can still be “sourced” or there are slots for “preorder”. How is that possible if supposedly the pendents are only being sold to names on a list? Who really made this list? How is it possible that new clients who haven’t bought anything are “making the list”… they don’t have a spend. I’m sorry but what the SAs say about “nominating” only a couple of clients or not having any control over who gets one is just smoke and mirrors. What you see and are being told does not match up across the board. In fact it’s the opposite when you see clients with no real spend get pendents. So much for “no say” in who gets a pendent and so much for the strict “list” supposedly curated by Paris. Like I said it’s a “mean girl” situation for this holiday pendent. VCA may not have intended for it to turn into this but that’s what the SAs ended up turning it into whether they were aware of it or not. Also, I am not speaking about ALL SAs, but they definitely aren’t all playing by the same book based of the huge inconsistencies of who gets a pendent. It is possible for your SA to get you the pendent regardless of spend, we are seeing it… I know some of us think we have these great relationships with our SA but couldn’t be offered on this year because of xyz but without sugar coating it… the SA just didn’t really want to get you one. They “couldn’t” get you once because it went to someone else. Sorry why would I want to spend more with my SA if they didn’t pull through for me?
