Thanks for the tips! Any idea if that prespend ratio also applies to non-QBs? Will just have to give it a shot!
Depends which non-QB's and in which mood the SA is. Usually (for Milan), it helps if you shop for something else and then head with the SA who's helping you to ask for a bag.
Was just there. They had lots of jewelry, furniture and some non QB bags for sale. I didn’t ask about QB bags but looks like a promising store. It got pretty crowded at 9pm but was empty when I first stopped in at 6pm, so best to go before dinner
I was just in Naples and they told us there were no bags left. It’s a small store and didn’t have much/the sales associates were not super friendly but we went late in the day. We had better luck in Milan. The store is much larger and they were friendly. We bought a few small items and then were able to buy a non quota bag and were offered a few different non Quota bags. I did see them telling several people there were no bags left. My DH went back and asked about a K/B/C but was told there was a waitlist.
I had a lovely experience shopping today in Rome. I went in looking for shoes (neither pair in stock) but I did walk out with a cute Evelyne TPM. Everyone I dealt with was absolutely lovely. The wait was long (I stopped keeping track of time after a while but definitely over an hour inside after checking in at the door) & boutique was crowded.
If you scroll just one page back you see post #82 with some info to your question.

Hello! I'm heading to Rome, Florence and Venice during the first week of October and looking to get a few things (Twilly, Kelly Belt, Change Tray, Glenan Bracelet). And would love to try my luck with for a Lindy 26 or an Evelyne TPM
Any thoughts on which stores have the most stock?
Thanks in advance!

I had a surprisingly great experience in Rome the other day, I was there to buy Oran, some scarves and lippies. I waited for my turn patiently inside the boutique while checking on some items. When the SA assigned to me was so nice and asked waht i was looking for. I told her i wanted a pair of the classic color orans and slipped if there might be a bag available for me that day. She smiled and said let me get back with you on that , when she comes back she lef me tried the new bag In the loop 23 , it was really beautiful and fell in love with it! So lucky!
The SAs in rome are very pleasant such a great H experience

Visited both the Florence and Venice stores last week and had a pleasant experience at both.
Florence
There was a short wait to get into the store and once inside, we had to wait another 30 minutes or so to be helped by an SA. I was looking for a Twilly and wanted to try on a few bracelets. The SA was very helpful and showed me their availability - I ended up going with a Twilly but passing on a bracelet as they didn't have my size/style combo. They also had a few large Bride-a-Brac's available but had just sold out of their small model. I asked if they had any Lindy or Evelyn's in stock and it was an immediate "no", but the SA let me try the Lindy 26 on display as I had not tried it before.
Venice
There was a short wait to get into the store (I imagine the SA's were on lunch break as this was around 12:30) but I was assisted almost immediately when I got inside. Initially, I was looking to get a home gift, and the SA showed me several options. I selected a change tray and ended up getting a scarf and twilly for myself. Asked about the Lindy or Evelyn TPM and they had a Black Evelyn TPM available, so brought that one home as well.
Saw two customers being offered a Birkin, however, it seemed like both were local customers.

I’m going to Florence, Rome, and Naples (in that order) in October. I have no intention of even asking for a QB. I just want a blue Calvi, possibly some other SLGs, and possibly a belt. Which store would I have the most luck in? I assume Rome would have the most stock, but I also figure most people would shop there so it would be depleted faster. But I don’t know. Also I heard Naples has a lot of crime. Is it even worth it to go the Hermes store there?
1. Florence: beautiful store, decent size if you vibe with the right SA even QB with the approval of the manager (for bigger bags) happen with some pre-spend of course. Stock wise its been emptied by the ongoing tourists, don't know what the situation will be in October but its definitely worth a try if there's no queue outside.
2. Rome: second biggest store in Italy, if you spend a 2:1 ratio there's a good chance of QB. This has been the case with some friends of mine, dropped cash here and there and walked out with B25 and K25, though one has to be open color wise. The should have good stock, but I've heard the queue to get into the store is long at times.
3. Naples: cute store, not the biggest but they have really good stock. They sell QB only to locals nowadays, but if you vibe and have a pre send you can try and ask for leather goods, doesn't kill anybody. As for criminality, Naples is not that dangerous, Milan or Rome are worse trust me. Only make sure not to wear any expensive watches, because the chances that they grab your watch instead of your bag is higher - also whenever I'm in Naples, I always carry my B's or K's carefree with no stress, nothing has ever happened to me.
When shopping in Italy, can the SA see your profile and sales history from Paris? I've shopped at Hermes in Rome and Milan before but I'll be going to Naples and Capri in May.
Looking for some help with Italy Hermes shopping as well. I'd love to score an Evelyn 29. I have a decent shopping history though I'm likely not anywhere near QB territory. Is there a realistic chance of finding one? I'll be in Rome and Florence - then also Monte Carlo, Nice, and Barcelona - just in case those might have options. Otherwise, I'll be in Milan in December and could try there - but holiday shopping might delete stock...
Should I plan on needing to buy something before even asking about a bag like the Evenyln?
