So I'm back from my vacation. Didn't have much luck in the bag department (or much of anything that was on my wishlist, unfortunately), but managed to stumble upon a Kelly To Go. Spent maybe 6-7k total. They mentioned that there's usually more stock in June-July and November-December. Really loved some fine jewelry pieces, but since we generally prefer Maui to Oahu and I'm not sure if/when we'll be back, wasn't comfortable making the investment with no bag being on the table.
To note, they had some C and Picotin available in pink, which is not at all my color.

Ala Moana was pretty much empty, a bit more people in Waikiki, but no wait time to get in.
The combo is Quebracho (Chevre) / GHW. Reminds me of Chanel caramel.

I came back from my trip as well after spending a week in Oahu for my birthday. It was bit stressful as I was trying really hard to get k/b from this trip :P. At the end, I got b25 etoupe with palladium hardware from Waikiki store. I was sooo happy and almost screamed at the store .

because I already had profile with my local SA, my husband set up the profile and talked to the waikiki SA. He definitely used “wife’s birthday” card. We purchased Kelly Emulette Necklace in rosegold, 2 tea cups, and a grooming bag (total spent ~$11k) and got the birkin offer on the next visit. After picking up the necklace and teacups, SA hinted to get sandals to meet the spending quota, but hubby wanted to get the grooming bag, so we ended up spending more. I think minimum quota for the offer is around ~$8k.

thank you everyone who shared the story here! It helped me alot preparing for this trip. Hope my story helps you too!

It was pretty free and no lines outside last week when I was there. Folks told me it’s gotten less busy since the labor day weekend. I walked in for my first visit and made appointments for next ones.

How many visits did you have over your vacation and did you know that a bag was coming during that second appointment?

Pardon my ignorance, but did you ask up front if they had any quota bags? If so, do you think you might have had a different result if you spent first? Or is the store just up front with customers about stock? (That would be great)

On our first visit, we said “it’s my birthday and I would like a necklace or maybe a matching bag”, without quoting specific bag name. I also purposefully went for kelly emulette necklace to imply my intention. The SA caught my intention and had convo with me to learn more about when I was checking out stuff. That’s when I told her what I want specifically. I think it’s all depending on the SA you meet. Some SAs are direct because they understand the nature of visiting clients (non-local).

Congrats! Would you say your SA is more direct? After your first visit did she mention anything about potential offers?
