Hi all, I’m thinking about starting the H game in Toronto. I’m assuming it will be harder to do since there’s only one boutique in Toronto and QB are limited and high in demand. From what I’ve read in this thread, the goal of the game is really to develop a good relationship with your SA & continue to foster that relationship over a long period of time. So stopping by the store to say hi, purchasing small or larger items here and there…

Out of curiosity, I’m wondering if anyone here has spent a large amount of money within the first 6 months 30-50k and have been offered a QB in less than a year?
The goal is really to build a long term clientele. Most SAs don’t want a flash in the pan clientele who are in it for a single bag or a short term relationship. It’s possible for spend a significant amount in a short time and get a QB but it’s also possible that it sends off reseller vibes or your SA sees something with deep pockets to string along. There are also a lot of clients who can spend five figures in one visit on a regular basis so while $30-50k is a ton of money, it’s not necessarily going to be a differentiator unless it’s sustainable in the long run. Anything is possible but I wouldn’t count on it happening or you will be disappointed. For that money you can go to a reseller and have plenty of money left over.
 
June displays in Toronto.

First time seeing a Kelly Elan in person, Vert Comics Madame PHW.
Also saw a Kelly Messenger PM in a dark grey on display, perhaps Gris Misty?
Cute twinning Micro Picotin 14s in Nata and Vert Criquet.

Here’s some of the bag walls. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone :) finally got my first QB in K28, epsom gold in GHW! Very happy with this! I was debating a bit if K28 works for my height (I’m about 5’1!) but it’s actually perfect size for me :)
Pre spend about 1.5:1 I’d say, been with my SA for 1.5 yrs now. I was only buying things I really like and know I’d use and wear, and they’re mostly shoes (chypres, loafers), scarves, belts and small home stuff. :) seems that they’re getting a lot of greens and yellows as stock this summer, so classic colours were really hard to come by as per my SA.

Congrats on your 1st! I saw a lot of bag offers happen this Friday morning! How long did you have your K28 on your wishlist before it was granted?

Thank you! I picked this up today in the late afternoon!
Took me about 1.5yrs. But it took a lot of like changing around my wishlist a lot, and narrowed down to just classics either gold or noir.
Oh okay, so you made the wish really close to the time you've been with your SA. Yes, Toronto was super busy, seems like today was like a bag offer day or something?

Congrats on your first QB!!! 😍 it looks like you also got the new twilly that just came out for F/W24 which is one of my favourites! 💕

My SA did encourage me to think about maybe putting a K28 in my wishlist, as it seems to be the one they’ve been getting lately. This was back in Feb/March of this year. She def steered me the right way.

They did get shipments on Wednesday, that’s when I got the call. So it seems that a lot of people are free today to get their offers !

Ohhh, that makes sense. They probably needs a couple days to figure out which bags get allocated to which SAs, then SAs need to pick and choose which of their clients should get offers for this round of bags.

Congrats on the offer! Do you mind sharing the retail price?
