1st wish about 6 months 2nd wish I placed expired and I never bothered to place a 3rd because I realised I prefer either vintage or discontinued styles plus the specs of QB I want are no longer available in the leather I would want it in.
A friend has had 2 wishes expire for a Constance 24 and gave up in the end.
I think if you wanted a smaller bag your wish may get granted sooner as there seem to be more of those in production at the moment.
The length of time is completely random and varies widely from one customer to the next. Spend might or might not be a factor, same as SA relationship. Just our personal data points only for your reference, it has taken from 2 weeks (yes, really!) to 6 months and beyond (at a boutique where we didn’t have any SA relationship or spend beyond a few silks). But we also know someone who shops at NBS with a regular SA since 2021 and even buys furniture, yet has had 2 wishes expired already (she didn’t wish for anything crazy or limited edition so it can’t be a matter of stock).
Thanks for your reply. It’s all so confusing. I will just have to keep my fingers crossed and pray to the Hermes gods!!
It took just under 3 months to get my first QB which was a B25. This was with no pre-spend, however, it was in 2020, so I think the lack of tourists really helped a lot.
London has definitely become a lot more competitive, I think the days of being offered a bag with no pre-spend are over. My first wish expired and I'm hoping my renewed wish will be fulfilled now that I'm buying more and working with one SA. It still seems like a total crapshoot who gets an offer! I can understand why they might be careful, I get so mad when I see the resale market flooded with "box-fresh" bags, especially SO! If I were offered a special order, I would treasure it forever!
I’m on my third wish (2 years in) and no offer yet whilst working with SA and spending consistently so no idea if or when I may get an offer. I can only assume there are hundreds of people who want the exact same specs ahead of me since I changed my wish a few months ago.
Also think it’s strange that there is no word of a sale yet.

My Hermes journey has been super slow this year. There doesn’t seem to be any stock. I can’t anything- from shoes to wallets to bags… it’s been proper bleak. Not even thinking about my wish list. Made it in feb and still waiting. My SA keeps saying stock can’t get any worse.. but it looks like it has! And of course I got the usual - it’s the summer it’s always low stock ♀️
Good luck everyone!

Regarding the sale, I may have gotten super impatient and contacted Arlettie. This was their response: "In order to preserve the exclusivity of the event, the next Hermès private sale will take place in 2024." I'm gutted, I was getting so excited for it!
It could be anytime in 2024, they are probably building up stock levels etc..
Same here .I put my wishlist in Jan .Can't get any bags likepicotin and Evelyn's either ,had to buy from consignment store .Guess most of the stuff is given to resellers and influencers ,no wonder some of consignment stores here have brand new items with receipt .Nothing for us normal folks .
