Thanks for taking my (rather extreme?) alternative view so well.
That was magnanimous.

I was once in Selfridges at December 2018 and asked about a Kelly and the sa told my that if I bought a watch with diamonds she would be able to take the manager permission to offer me a Kelly and I was a tourist but I walked away I won’t spend more than the price of the bag itself on an item to buy the bag .So I witnessed something interesting at selfridges while waiting. A couple of tourist asking for a quota bag, replied with the usual “NO” answer, then they said they wanted to buy a watch (could be the one with diamond, not sure though). Then the SA scrolled on the iPad (I could see loads of items on the screen), gone for more than 15 minutes (maybe waiting for a mgr’s approval?). They were still waiting even after I was done (I asked for a non quota bag but the answer was NO, nothing available). I left the store so I didn’t know what they ended up getting, but for sure they walked away with a bag.

It’s certainly not impossible and doesn’t have to take months. I have a friend who got offered one after 1 month of mentioning interest at NBS. So stock does exist, it really depends on what SA you meet / desk with.Surprised by this as I thought it was popular and well stocked in the main stores. Oh dear think I might be waiting a while then...
Hi, I want to start shopping at a boutique to hopefully get a Kelly or Birkin next year. Which boutique would you recommend? I’d like to shop at harrods for the rewards but I’m not sure if that makes them more competitive? I’m a tourist as well if that changes things.
If you have read this thread, you would see that 'tourists' seem to do well at Selfridges
Sounds good but I live up north and we have nothing up here, I rarely go down to London, i am next due to go in September.It’s certainly not impossible and doesn’t have to take months.

Perhaps you could consider yourself a tourist?Sounds good but I live up north and we have nothing up here, I rarely go down to London, i am next due to go in September.

I was in T5 very recently and they had very little of anything, and certainly nothing I wanted, although were friendly and apologetic at their lack of stockHello, has anyone peeped in Hermes in Heathrow lately? Any chance of finding an Evelyn PM there ? Thanks GP
