I am not local but have shopped at the Waikiki store a couple of times with the same SA and only have a profile here. I am interested in a Constance but afraid to ask because I always read how turned off SAs can get when people ask about quota bags. At what point in time/purchase history would it be appropriate to ask?
Constance is easier to get than b/k. I think u should ask and talk about your WL. The most they can say is no but at least you tried!
 
Was in the Waikiki store last week and told to come back next year. I can confirm that they don’t offer quota bags to first timers for now.
They definitely don’t. Otherwise there’s no incentive for anyone to buy other items, everyone would just buy a b/k/c without looking at other stuff in the store. I personally love H shoes and home goods but I don’t care for any of the bags except for the b25/b30/k25/k28. I’m quite picky with my bags and I like those because of their elongated shape and small size. I don’t even like a Constance because of the shape of the bag. Weird I know.

The context of my comment was: It used to be that in Hawaii a customer can purchase other stuff and be offered a quota bag in the same trip. But not anymore. The quota bag would be offered on the trip next year.
 
Yes, I have two accounts under different names. At Ala Moana I bought Shoes, Watches, SLG and a few bags about 2.5:1 before the B30 offer. At Waikiki I bought RTW, Shoes, SLG and was about .5:1, but If you add bags I would be about 1.5:1 before the K28 offer. Currently sitting at 2.5:1 after the B30, waiting on a B25 or Mini Kelly (hopefully in Oct or sooner).
Ah so you did buy non qb bags before u were offered your first k at Waikiki and b at ala moana? Were u offered a Constance before the k and b?
 
They had told me they would text me later in the week with an offer, and it was a B30.

Yes, I was offered other bags prior to my QB. I never asked for a Constance, so none was offered.
Got it. Do u use it everyday? Asking since you live in HI and my SA said it’s an everyday bag. However I don’t live in a big city so it might be overkill to carry it out or even to work lol.

No, I use it maybe once a week depending on what im wearing. I use the mini evelyne or mini lindy on a more daily basis. A neutral Kelly isnt too bad as an everyday bag.
 
Why do u think HI is a more reliable place to get qb even with the number of tourists?
My comparison is between hawaii and France. In Hawaii, if you spend the money, you can get quota bag in the next trip. In France, nope.
I spent around 9k euro but no appointment means no chance get a bag. Some might be lucky to get an appointment but it’s all about luck. Hawaii is still about spend.

You should let your SA know that you are interested in a Constance asap. They do not all assume that every client wants a QB, and a Constance may not be considered a Qb in Hawaii, IDK.

@Hisunshine, you need a leather appt, usually by lottery, to get a QB in a Paris boutique. If you have the appt, you do not need any prior spend to obtain a QB. It’s dependent on current stock availability and your chemistry with the SA.

I agree.

I can confirm that the Constance is a qb in Hawaii and the west coast. I heard rumors that it's also considered a qb elsewhere in the US but am not 100% certain.

No, it is not. It may be a bag that needs to be offered and for only known clients and probably pauses you on being offered an additional coveted bag during that trip but it does not count as one of your two quota bags on your profile for that calendar year.
