That’s great! Were you on the waiting list or just purchased it in store?
I purchased it at the store! I had come in to collect something else after a resizing and asked if they happened to have the 20-motif available to view, as they had it the week before. The sales associate told me the 20-motif was sold out, but he had the 10-motif available. I took it as a sign. 😆

I have paid 30% deposit in mid Mar to secure a 10motif RG necklace.
Was told the wait would be between 2-3months.
Shall just wait patiently…….
I hope it comes soon! I was able to try a 10motif RG that another client had turned down, about two weeks ago! It was for sale so I’m assuming you’ll be offered one soon since they seem to be coming around more …
 
I was able to be put on the “wishlist” but not a preorder. What’s the difference?
- Wishlist is something a bit like a black box that I never really understood : you are candidate for a piece and VCA attributes you a « level » of being candidate for that piece (depends on your loyalty to one boutique and your prespend and maybe other factors that I don’t know …).
When they receive one piece this piece is attributed to a client depending on these factors. If the client rejects the piece then I am unsure of that but they don’t always tend to contact the next client on the wishlist but sometimes the piece goes to the general stock of the boutique and could be offered to walking in clients by luck.
- pre order / order : making an order is possible for some pieces with a deposit (30% or more) and they should be able to tell you an estimate of the waiting time until you get your piece.
- Preorder I only did that when they launched a new collection : their loyal client / VIP get to see the new collection a few days before the official launching. Then you can make a pre order and put a deposit. If they have this piece in stock at the boutique you can then take the piece at the launching date.

thanks for the clarification! I have only done orders before and paid 100% of the price then received the items in 1-2 months.
