My current pre spend is £10,000 in Bond Street only but still no offer I bought shoes, tops, ashtrays. Is it because I’m not UK resident?

The UK operates a wishlist that is open to locals. I can’t say whether anyone has been offered a bag that isn’t a UK resident but bags are typically reserved for locals who put in a request (a wish) for a specific bag type/size/colour/hardware and then the boutique will contact them if or when a bag matching those specs comes in and they’re next in line for the bag.

I’m local, on my second wish renewal (first expired) and have spent around £10,000 at NBS and also don’t have an offer, so if you don’t have a UK address, don’t have an active wish and were hoping to spend an amount and try your luck, it doesn’t seem to work like that here.

Wow it seems very hard to get a quota bag in London. Do you always shop with the same SA?

I got my first quota bag in Switzerland by spending the same amount and was offered one immediately even though I’m not local.

Just an FYI as I just found out yesterday. When you have a special order under your name your normal wishlist in the store is removed. You can only have one or the other. Was quite surprised by this!

I can confirm this to be true. I did my ALC two weeks ago, asked my SA to to make some changes on my wishlist, and she told me it is suspended while the ALC is under production. A bit sneaky of them to have not informed the clients beforehand, because it would allow us to make a more conscious decision. If I was aware of this, I would have declined the ALC.
I also inquired about the limit of QB per year, and apparently it is still 2 per year. So, this new rule is a bit absurd I reckon.

Yes! They need to make this more clear when applying for an SO for the client to make an informed decision. I wonder if this was always the case in London as I’ve heard of others being offered whilst they have an SO on order. I guess the only way to be offered QB in the interim is if the SA can vouch for you to SM?

No, this is a new rule. When I did my first ALC, I was offered a second QB in the same year.

Thanks for your insights - I love this forum! I feel I got on with my OG, but the other leather SA I spoke to last week was also lovely, slightly more chatty but that's probably just their personality. I've heard a couple of people say CP don't focus on customer/SA relationships as much (though this could be completely wrong), so I don't want to push something if I don't need to :smile: I always ask names of whoever I speak to as they've all been lovely so far. I got my Constance a few months ago with very little spend there so I'm hoping my wish for a B30 will come true soon!

Hello, please how long did you have the Constance on your wish list for?

Can anyone share if they have recently been offered any bags at the Hermes Harrods womenswear department?

And has anyone been offered something different than what's on their wishlist at CP?I am just wondering since they ask us to be so specific about what we want, and if SA is not involved, does SM wait for our exact specs before offering the bag, or has anyone been offered a different size/style?

Im just really curious, as the other day I saw someone at CP just come in and ask directly to put a wishlist. It clearly looked that it was their first time ever going to an hermes store. So with so many wish lists at CP, how do they see everyone's wishlist?

I went to NBS yesterday and was told that Constance can no longer be placed on wish list only B and K will be placed on the wish lists and that they intend to fulfill the wishes of anyone that already has c on their wish list within 3 months. So not sure if this applies to just NBS or all the London boutiques.

In the meantime has anyone been offered a bag at NBS

Thats really interesting. It's on my wishlist since October at CP, I will ask my SA.
So it means that C will no longer be a quota bag? I saw from an influencer that in Paris it's not a quota bag so was a bit confused.
