Well I definitely know a few stand-alones that definitely take 21a waitlists Bc I’m either on it or they told me it’s full. Might be just that location. Also is def not the rule for department stores. Overall it seems the best option for hard to get bags is through certain department stores. Most SAs won’t do this but some will allow u to be on the waitlist before they get their book so that if it turns out they ordered an item youre first in line. Of course as long as their location isn’t doing a lottery.Not sure if this applies to all standalone stores but I was told today that there will be no waitlist for 21A at my local standalone boutique. It applies to new seasons going forward too.
Unclear how we will be allocated bags but it sounds like this just came up today. If you hear of something like this happening in your boutique, please share!

My SA told me that his boutique won’t be getting the buy books for 21A for a couple weeks…is that possible or was I just lied to? lol
mine already has been taking reserve and got the books in a few weeks ago. standalone boutique if that's helpful
Would anyone be able to share the item numbers of either of these two items if they run across it? My SA hasnt gotten the catalog in yet :/ Thank you!!
This looks like a perfect grey to me 
I’ve seen a few Dept store SAs and personal shoppers post the 3 new dada sandals that are coming including the black with black hardware and even taking reservations.

I thought that grey is from the 21B collection? I hope it’s 21A though, it’s stunning!This looks like a perfect grey to me
Thanks! can you share Which department store SAs are taking reservations??
Does anyone have anymore insight or new pics for this collection? 
They never want to admit to using a Lao term because they know you will get on other lists as a back up and maybe get the bag before they draw. I’ve dealt with this seceral times this season, SAs who could not guarantee me a bag and then were annoyed when I had already found it once they drew.
Lol, yeah undoubtedly this is what the lottery system will lead to. Instead of just working with my local SA, I will have to get on 4-5 lists at different boutiques for each bag I want, lol.
That is, until they start requiring you to have a purchase history with *that* SA when you get on a list. And then we will all have multiple SAs and so on...
thanks for the info. Do you know if the small vanity pearl crush is included in the books? Thanks.
Does anyone knows what is the dark pink item circled at the bottom of the pic? It looks like a larger version of the phone flap holder released in 21s (see the black one attached). It looks like it has a zipped compartment and the zipper ends lower compared to the 21s. If it is a larger version I would be so excited. The black reissue one next to it would seem like the same size as the 21s but I really can’t be sure. Any intel would be greatly appreciated! I really want one of these phone flap holders but would like a larger size. Pictures not mine. TIA!
