Oh l wished my wish comes now ,but l requested 25-30 which it’s even harder to come by ,how much was it please ? I hope my day will come to
Christie’s has a luxury week, this week, and they have quite a good selection of different BKC, so you can go there and try them out as well
For everyone who’ve had offers on quota bags, do they usually take you to a private room to show you the bags? Or is it done out in the general open?
Mine was done in the open but it was at a concession in a dept store not a boutique so all offers are made on the shop floor.
At bond st, they took my upstairs and showed it to me behind a curtain (you know, that area near fine jewelry)
At CP, it was just out in the open upstairs

Ah that's interesting to hear.
With my first Birkin (back in the smaller Sloane Street), my SA took me downstairs to the lower ground men's area to show me the bag.
At Harrods though, the SA took me to a room in the Hermes Fine Jewellery concession to show me the bag, away from the main concession area.
But now, with the latest Birkin, in the Cadogan Place boutique, the SA just showed me the bag in the open on the ground floor, which meant that I had an audience while viewing the bag lol. I even had someone come up to me while the SA was wrapping my B35 up, interrogating me about how long I was on the waitlist and even offering me 10% more than what I paid for.

Wowee. This is why they should have shown you your bag in private. So far they have shown me my bags in private at Bond St unless it really was not possible, which is rare, as they can use the home section and close that area off.
Yeah that would have been best.
1) It would have felt a little bit more special having the bag shown in a private space.
2) It felt quite uncomfortable having death stares from observers (this one family had quite an intense gaze lol!), and being questioned about why I was offered a bag so quickly and without pre-spend...
Alas they don’t understand that spend is never everything, for a long time customer, with a relationship at the store. But wow. Boundaries!
