posting here because my post in the H relationship thread was deemed off topic.

I have a number of H bags including QBs so I consider myself beyond the newbie stage (but certainly not an OG or VIP).

Why do some people here talk about a serial number on bags? Isn’t it either the item number or the date+artisan code? I don’t think either of these is a 1:1 identifier to a specific bag? There was some discussion of matching serial numbers on bags with receipts, but I must be misunderstanding something

I thought the numbers were unique to the bag. I believe it was date stamp+artisan code+random numbers?

I do know that the code is on the receipt when you buy the bag as well.

Soo I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I got offered a Kelly in noir with GHW, and they told me I have to spend more and wait for longer if I want one with PHW, because noir and PHW is a more sought after combo. Any truth to this?

That's very interesting because historically its been the other way around. Gold tends to have higher resale value as well. It could be that is the trend your SA's are seeing in that particular boutique though. What specs do you actually want though? If you like the gold then I would go for it. If you prefer the PHW then wait and dont settle.

Distinct unique serial numbers started being added to bags a couple of years ago. They are imprinted into the bags in close proximity to the date code/artisan stamp. Its still a bit hit or miss, especially because H sometimes holds back bags in inventory for years before releasing them so not all newly purchased bags will have them. Though at this point, most bags do. It also seems hit or miss as to whether the serial number is printed on the receipt.

I have to ask: how exactly was this phrased? ‘You have to spend more’, ‘you have to buy more’ or something else? :wtf:

So my SA told me that corporate actually looks at the online reviews and it affects their annual performance reviews! And he asked me to write one for him!! Which I happily did!

An SA in Singapore actually asked that I write one for him, so I did. But, somehow I thought it must be an Asian thing lol. Thanks for the correction :)

Do you know if this price increase is across all categories and for all countries?

I'm not sure about other countries but it seems to be just for the garden parties in Korea. They had the start of the year price increases across the board so this recent price increase for garden parties came as a surprise.

I also checked out various online articles if they had more information but not really. I think the leather gp they refer to is the negonda leather.

Price increases:
  1. canvas garden party 30: 3,270,000 KRW to 4,040,000 KRW (23.6% increase)
  2. canvas garden party 36: 3,740,000 KRW to 4,400,000 KRW (17.6% increase)
  3. leather garden party 30: 5,690,000 KRW to 5,870,000 KRW (3.1% increase)
  4. leather garden party 36:5,960,000 KRW to 6,240,000 KRW (4.7% increase)
Not sure if will be able to read Korean but below is the link to the news article that seemed to have the most information and screenshots of an insta post I was able to find that speculates why (not sure how reputable this account is). They think it's because of a release of a mini garden party so they're trying to adjust the overall prices for the GPs.

I've only been able to confirm the prices.

I actually wanted the PHW for a change but wasn't adamant about it, but yes I always thought GHW was more popular too
