I had recently had success in Florence getting an etoupe Evelyn. Was within first few in line pre-open (showed up 30 mins prior) and got exactly what requested. I purchased 2 scarves before asking. I saw others walking away empty handed when they asked for bags right away. I tried to be chatty and bubbly with the SA. I also tried in Rome twice but went toward the end of the day and struck out.
Wherever you try, I’d suggest queuing early before open, purchasing a few things and being friendly.
The Naples store is closed until the end of the year. Capri was cute but TINY. It can only accommodate about 5 people at a time. So there's usually a wait outside. I met a charming SA and bought a Clic H, a shawl, and a mini Evelyne. When I returned the next day she was off and I was told they had no bags of any kind. I consider myself lucky.HelloHas anyone had luck getting a QB in Capri or Naples recently? Also, could you please share your experience if you’ve been to either of these stores in the last 6mo? I’m planning to shop regardless of bag offers, so wondering how the stock is/ general vibe of the store, etc. Don’t want to be too stressed on my trip haha Thanks so much!
It’s not, but it’s a wishlist bag. Only B & K are considered quota bags in my home store.
This helped me so much. After reading this advice, I queued up 15 minutes before store open in Florence and still had to wait another ~30 mins inside. I think it helped a lot that I had genuine wishlist of non handbag items. After choosing 3 items for purchase I asked for an evelyn neo and was offered a vert vertigo evelyn tpm which I LOVEEEEE.
In Rome, I watched several people be offered the same orange canvas garden party and rejecting it. One lady actually purchased it - they processed the sell before she demanded to return it. It was quite comical. There was a huge array of green handbags on display - green must be in large production right now.
I saw many greens too. I was waiting for my SA for a long time and had a good view of the offers being dished. A number of green bags, black picotin 22, arcon bag. Good luck to those trying
Does anyone have a really nice SA to recommend/share contact in Milan ?
I had terrible service in that store but I wanna give it another try .
Thanks a lot!

Good luck! My friend was just in Milan and said that when asking for a QB she was told that they only use a wishlist system. She was offering non QB- a Geta bag- which she accepted. Not sure what you’re looking for but just thought I’d share her experience in case it’s relevant.
I was under the impression that my purchase history was available in all European stores but I went to an Italian store yesterday and they didn't have me in the system from my Paris history. I created an account there.
Does this mean I wouldn't have an issue requesting a bag of I already purchased one in Paris? I understand it's hard in Italy for a QB but I mean for any bag.

Just want to share our experience in Rome this past weekend. My mom and I visited the store on a Sat afternoon (waited about 10min). The SA helping us was lovely and I picked up a few pieces of fashion jewelry and scarf. I inquired about mini bags and she was apologetic and said she didn’t have any, but then she brought out a Lindy 30 in black and silver which my mom loved (she prefers bigger bags) so it was still a nice surprise for us. She suggested I come back next week if I am around town, so maybe I will try my luck again on our last day back to Rome. Good luck to anyone who wants to try!
P.s. when we left around 5:45pm the store was really busy and the line just to pay was quite long also

His girlies!! How difficult is it now to score a Kelly Pochette in italy(presend ratio&waiting time)? Especially in Padova/ Venice store? I do have a several years old account with almost 100k spend. Would appreciate so much if you could share your experience

I think the problem is more being in the right place at the right time. In Italy (like France and Monaco) you will have plenty of competition as shopping is a national pastime (Italians spend x 4 more per capita on fashion/accessories than anywhere) locals spend and tourists spend. Having said that, in Italy, more than anywhere, if an SA likes you and you qualify (and it sounds like you do) if they have KP they'll try to make it happen (unlike elsewhere) IME, Italians love to sell as much as they love to buy.
I agree with this and have actually heard that Italy is *easy* for Kelly Pochettes if one is a "local". Perhaps the SM/SD there chooses to order more KPs than other regions based on a personal preference.
I would think your SA there could give you a better indication of how long it will take
She would have a better understanding of your individual chances! Hope to see a reveal from you very soon!
Hello! I’m going on vacation to Italy in August and September for the first time. I’ll be in Rome, Venice, and Florence, so a couple opportunities to visit Hermes. Is a Constance considered a quota bag in Italy the way it is in my home store in Toronto? Or will I have better luck scoring a Constance while on vacation in Italy this summer? TIA!
