Thank you so much, my wish was for a K25 but in chèvre leather as I have Kellys in 3 other leathers bar in Chevre. I have created a new wish and requested chèvre again...keeping my fingers crossed for this next year x
I have heard, on good authority, that a very very wealthy American lady went to shop in personal shopping at Selfridges and managed to buy three Birkin bags!
I was in one of the stores very recently and they closed of a section of the store for a couple. Lots of boxes being bought in to them.
May have been Kris Jenner as she was spotted at Selfridges last week!
I'm in London next week and am looking into buying one of the Twilling Cardigans at the Sloane boutique (around 3k£). I'm not based in the UK - would it still be possible to potentially hop on the wish list and make my wish being from abroad? I have a nice and long term H history, but my local store just doesn't get much bags in (as it is smallish). As I'm based in Europe, getting the bag within 1 or 2 weeks would not be an issue as I just could hop on a plane... Many thanks for your feedbacks
Hi. You need to have a UK address to make a wish in the UK. From my experience, I would get the email on Saturday and you would have to collect in person by Friday (6 days).
I'm pretty sure I overheard an American businessman making a wish for his wife and claiming that he frequently travels to London for work, so they may let you make a wish without a permanent UK address. Whether they actually fulfill your wish is another question though...
What is the current pre-spend situation in London like for a QB (B25)? Because I had one of my QB with 1:1 pre-spend and another QB with very little pre-spend in the past 2 years in London. Was wondering what's other people's experience lately?
London uses the wish list system so pre-spend is technically irrelevant.
I understand that, but I'm not sure I believe that 100%
they need to select their clients by some parameters when allocating bags. I don't think the chances are very high if you put your name down the wish, buy nothing from the store and hope to get a bag. I think it's the combination of many factors - rapport with the SA, pre-spend, how busy is the store, how often you visit etc. In this instance I'm curious what's everyone's expectation on pre-spend

I don’t entirely believe it myself but my SA swears blind it’s all centralised now based on stock allocated to each boutique and how long a client has been waiting etc. I know a number of people that have had their wishes granted with zero pre-spend so I know the system to some extent does work like this. My current “pre-spend” is pretty high but I’m waiting for a B25 in a neutral colour so I am fully aware I’ll be likely waiting the full 12 months and will possibly even need to renew my wish…I understand that, but I'm not sure I believe that 100%
Interesting! Lucky friends
When you say it's quite high is it more than 1:1 now?I understand that, but I'm not sure I believe that 100%
I agree. I think that now the interest in QB is huge due to social media, Hermes is trying to manage expectations. There will always be exceptions for the VIP’s, but the rest of us who genuinely love the brand will probably have to wait a little longer ☹️
Yes - far more! And I have a good relationship with my SA but our wishes are supposedly allocated by a centralised team so I don’t think it matters how much I call into the boutique or to some degree how much I spend either when the bag I am waiting for has a highly desirable specInteresting!
