I got a text from my SA yesterday that I am approved by Paris to get this year's HP so I guess second wave just kicked in.

My SA in the Paris boutique informed me that I'm qualified to purchase one too, but the next batch won't be available until early-mid November, which right on time for my trip. I shall see it in person before deciding if I like it, since it looks different in every photo
Watch everyone who wants one end up getting one. (Eye roll cause my emojis don’t work). Dear VCA, was all this drama really necessary, says the positive cynic in me.
And it'd be right after everyone has already panic-bought stuff because of the impending price hike.
Did anyone from Boston get offered an HP? I do my purchasing online so I don’t rlly have a boutique SA but wondering if it was worth it to drop by the store?
It seems like each store is working differently. Mine is already in store and I will go to see if I like it tomorrow.My SA in the Paris boutique informed me that I'm qualified to purchase one too, but the next batch won't be available until early-mid November, which right on time for my trip.

Yeah, I think eventually everyone who wants it could get one. There is nothing rare/spercial about the porcelain. Just a marketing strategy which is kind of annoying and insulting.
I don’t think it hurts to ask. Who knows. This whole process seems ridiculous.
If you make most of your purchases online, you can try to call customer service and see if they can allocate one for you after reviewing your purchase history.
The VCA customer phone message says that you have to be asked to receive a holiday pendant. Has anyone been able to get one through the customer service phone number?
Agreed. I'll be very surprised if they don't follow up with at least one or two batches if they get enough clients inquiring the HP.

That phone message would apply to clients who actually shop at the local boutiques or have a SA that they work with, then yeah, they should get invitation from the SA about purchasing the HP. But for people who mainly shop online and/or doesn't have a SA, they'll have to call in and inquire about the HP. It doesn't seem like VCA's e-boutique would be actively reaching out to those clients to offer the HP but from what I've been told by the e-boutique rep, if they see that you have extensive purchase history with VCA under the same online profile, they'll be able to make some arrangement for you. Would love to hear if this is truly the case though.
How else they make the masses fight to buy a small piece of porcelain for 5000$
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I found it odd too because last years SA told me she will inform me when I can order. This year, she said it’s by invitation only. I guess I didn’t spend enough as I only got 5 things this year.
Has anyone had any luck getting the HP in London?
I was in Harrods yesterday, long wait and very little to no stock of alhambra pieces.
I asked about the HP, but they said it was by invite only...

If you haven’t already I would ask. Can’t hurt to be on their mental list and you can’t be any worse off. There isn’t much certainty about anything with the way things are going. They may get more shipments or people may turn pieces down. Good luck! And maybe check in every couple of weeks.
