Unfortunately they had no bags in any of the 4 boutiques I visited between Kyoto and Tokyo :sad:
They always said they did not get any shipments and stores were crazy busy (sometimes we waited in line for 40 min which I had never done before!)

Oh no! Seems they are now playing the game too. Or it could be logistics problem? Or Perhaps we need to buy non-leather stuff to score a bag.
 
Hi, did your friend buy anything during those 5 days?
Nothing before the offer, and then picked out a twilly and pegase PM to go with her bag. She did intended to buy something else though, asked for several fine jewelry pieces, scarves, and the kelly glove clip, which they had none in stock. So she just stop by everyday to see if they get new shipments. Upon her last day the SA probably felt bad and asked her if there is anything else in particular she'd like to purchase, so she casually brought up 'any b/k/c available?' The SA took the specs and then came back whispering to her that 'would you like a K28'? I will say that my friend does speak Japanese so not sure if that make a difference too.

Ah thank you! Was this recent and what colour was the K28? I’m in Tokyo right now and stopped by the Ginza and Omotesando stores once each. Stock for shoes and other items were very low.

Yeah she just left Fukuoka yesterday and it was a K28 retourne in Etain PHW. Ginza may be a tough one though, stock tend to be low even before pandemic. haha

Hello! Will be traveling to Japan soon. Do you guys know if a Constance is considered a quota bag in Tokyo?
I was just in Japan and visited four different stores in four different areas. They are basically sold out of everything, no bags available of any sort in any of the stores, let alone a Constance. Maybe it would have been different if I would have gone in and bought $25,000 worth of fine jewelry or something; bags magically can appear in cases like that. But if you want to just go in and buy normal items don't get your hopes up for finding much of anything and definitely not any bags.

Which stores did you hit up?
 
Hi hi!
Im in Tokyo now and just scored 35B in Bleu de Galice with PWH in H store Tokyu Shibuya. I had been searching for days in Ginza, Yurakucho (they only have Lindi 34 in black togo), Shinjuku, the other H store in Shibuya (only has Lindi 30 togo in navy blue and violet inside ). I saw kelly long in c light brown croco in Osaka Hilton.
Price for Lindi 30 is around 600.000yen and Lindi 34 around 650.000yen.
I'm really happy with my new B bag, even tough the price are higher than in europe. moreover, actually Im looking for kelly in a bright color.
Big congrats to you!! Im going to Tokyo soon. Hopefully I'd be able to get a Kelly myself:biggrin:
