I walked in and got a bag in Brussels a few years ago. I askedfor a Roulis, and they did not have it. Then I asked for a mini Mosaique which was brand new at the time. The SA I talked to had never heard of it it seemed (!), but went out back, and voila!, it was there, gold on gold, the perfect bag for me :biggrin::biggrin:

Iam hoping to repeat this trick with the Della Cavelleria in the spring when I (hopefully) get to go to Brussels again…..

Hi,
I'm planning to go to Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome this summer. Does anyone know if it a lottery system for appointments at the Brussels boutique (or Amsterdam or Rome) like in Paris? If so, what time does the appointment request open? Hoping to score a B/K without purchase history (though I am well aware that this may not happen).

Hello, no lottery system in any of those stores (only in Paris). Brussels works with the wish list system but it's very hard to get a bag, even for locals. They are only two stores in Belgium so very competitive.
 
Bumping into this thread to see if anyone has had positive experiences at the Brussels boutique ? I recently started shopping there and created a wish list on my first visit. The SA mentioned that it can take quite some time and I had to be patient. This list is valid for one year. Do you think I have to keep shopping for things to increase my chances to get offered a bag ? I'm interested in a few things but on my first visit everything I was interested in was not available. I know the system in Europe is quite different and some people get offered a bag without a huge shopping history.

Hi mes.joies.quotidiennes, do you have any updates on how it went with your wish list? I had a very similar experience last week, went into the boutique with quite some items I wanted to buy. But nothing was in stock and nothing could be ordered either. They did let me place a quota bag on my wish list though, but not sure if that means anything. She said it might take months or even over a year to get a call. Which was probably a friendly way of saying ‘don’t get your hopes up’.

I plan to go back every now and then to see if they have any items I want in stock, or if they can order something for me.

Hi, still waiting and my wish expires in September so I'm not very hopeful. Stock is still low everywhere and I'm no vip lol
 
I have been by the store twice the last weeks, asking for non-quota bags. No luck.

First time I was told very insistently that “I will sell you the bags here, but we have no stock” (she did add that quota-bags are waitlist only).

The other time no stock either, and I was told just to come by regularly as they did not know what they would get delivered.

Strange way of doing business.

Have you had any luck with items you originally wanted? Or been able to order some pieces?
I’ve read that if you regularly visit the boutique and inquire about your wish list item from time to time, it gets automatically extended. I hope you’ll hear something soon though!

Yes indeed, that’s what I’ve been told as well. Deliveries are very random and not as expected. Are you going to try again later for the nq bags?

Actually I stopped going to the Brussels store and now shop at the Luxembourg boutique. I much prefer the staff and the general feel of the boutique

Yes, I will try again. When I first asked for a Halzan 31 it seemed like that was just such an odd request that I could forget about it. But when I mentioned Della Cavelleria the SA seemed like she was expecting those. Fingers crossed for a white DC for me :blush:
