I asked my SA today straight up whether she could see QB offers from other countries and she said no. She said she herself personally has not seen the profiles linked but perhaps that would occur sometime in the future. As far as she’s concerned her clients are free to shop oversees.
And mine (US boutique) shares the opposite. SA specifically shared that if clients get a QB elsewhere in Paris for example, make sure it’s one they really want because the boutique here can see it and it will count towards our QB count. Or put it on someone else’s profile while in Paris (SA says half jokingly).
I don’t know if this was limited to visibility between US boutiques and only Paris boutiques, or any intercontinental boutique
I agree with the poster above that the visibility/link is definitely happening. Even if not to change QB allocations, a company like this requires a proper CRM for proper client purchase data and analysis. However given how things are run at H, I’m sure they are rolling out this integration in waves, whether it’s by market, boutique size or whatever other criteria so it may hit different places at different times. And potentially due to local regulatory and compliant limitations, certain information may not be disclosed in some markets etc.
yes, I too have heard varying stories so thought to share what I heard. I think you are right in that it is happening in waves. So basically everyone will have a different experience. My SA had no problem answering the question, so I think more should inquire directly with their SA if they think it might affect them.
Yes, “local” means location, not citizenship. It’s not a loyalty to the nationality thing, it’s a they want people who will pop in and shop often and who don’t have a closer “home store” thing. You can always ask and try but be prepared for the very real likelihood that they turn you down.
Fortunately, this way DH avoided me fighting over not coming to the store with me. 😂😂😂
Hello everyone, I have my first wish list appointment in October. I would like a Birkin 30 in Togo with GHW. Regarding the colors, either gray or brown. Does it make sense to specify at least one standard color like gold or etoupe among the three desired colors? Or does that not matter for the certain fulfillment of the wish within a reasonable waiting time? Thanks for your help.
Hi! Question about the European wishlist system, specifically The Netherlands. Do you have to be a citizen of the country or a resident there to make a wishlist request? I ask because my husband is a Dutch citizen, but we currently live in the US. Would we be able to do a wishlist request for him when we travel to Amsterdam this fall? Thank you in advance for any insight you all might have!
They want you to be a “local” with a local address as that presumes that you will be an ongoing customer at their store location. You can try but they will likely turn you down without a local address. Furthermore, some stores in that region only take wishlists during pre-set wishlist appointments made months in advance during certain availability windows.
In my opinion and experience it doesn't make any difference about the fulfillment of your wish. You can say "grey, brown" or specify the colours you want exactly ("etain, etoupe"). But you can ask and discuss that with the SA at your wishlist appointment
I strongly suggest you think about the shade of grey and brown you would like and tell your SA. Furthermore check which types of leather you like in those colours you choose. The type of leather affects how the colour will look, as does hardware. If there are shades within that colour range it is also advisabld to let your SA know you are not interested in them. It hopefully will minimise the risk of you being offered something you are not interested in and if you are offered a shade of grey or brown not to your liking it hopefully will be easier to decline without any worry to upset your SA.
Ask for the colour you REALLY want..
I personally think its folly to ask for a colour with a view to swift fulfillment of your wish.
Its YOUR bag and better to wait a while longer and get a bag you will love, wear forever and works with your wardrobe than to purely enter specs based on speculation as to what will get you the bag sooner rather than later.
