Congratulations on all your purchases. Everything is lovely but God bless your daughter she's beautifulI'm so happy to finally make it back to NYC after 6 long years, due to COVID and other unexpected life events. I couldn't wait to visit the new Madison location, and I was not disappointed. It is everything I imagined it would be and more.

The eye candy was truly mind blowing to me - the best selection I have seen anywhere in a very long time!!!
- a new colorway Kelly Doll charm that I have not seen before (I asked to purchase this but was told no)

I went in with zero expectations but am overjoyed to bring home a few pieces I asked for that had been on my wishlist for a while:
- Mini Lindy Nata clemence GHW (I asked for a neutral Mini Lindy or C18 with GHW and was offered the Nata GHW or Gold PHW; I did not ask for a quota bag)
- Pegase Touch PM in craie/nata/beton
- Bolide on wheels charm in Rose Extreme chèvre chamlika

Even my toddler had fun, the rooftop garden was her favorite part, and she was given a coloring book as we left the store
(Maybe if I plaster my face hard enough onto the glass they'll sell me something

. The solo action shot of her with her pink coat is just priceless!. I'm happy for you you got to finally go back to NYC.
Hi lovely ladies, I can't believe me asking this question here. I've been a loyal customer at Madison store for about 10 years. I'm definitely not one of the top spenders but I did get quite a few beautiful bags over the years. I haven't been actively purchasing since pandemic start but I did make some purchases here and there, like shoes, jewelries, SLGs, etc. Now I want a b25 or k25 and it seems impossible to get one. I've never felt it's THIS difficult to get a quota bag. My SA keeps suggesting there are so many rich shoppers nowadays that spends tens of thousands dollars to get a quota bag. Anyone feeling the same? What are your plans in getting your next dream bags? Part of me thinks I should just quit the crazy game for now and enjoy what I have. Part of me is always wanting a next one!
Hi, I think it’s much more difficult at Madison after Covid SIP. My SA says K 25 is a bit easier than a B25. B25 is very difficult as relatively few come in. He was able to get me a gold B 25 sellier this year, but my prespend while I waited was at least 5X. After a certain point, you stop counting and just take comfort in that you love everything you’ve bought. I should mention that I don’t have a wish list, and I trusted him to pick something in a B25 that I would love. He told me sincerely even though a lot of stock was diverted to Madison, it’s up to the SM. I got lucky and my DH developed a relationship with an FSH SA who got me a K25 a few months before my B25 materialized. My FSH SA also got me a K28 quadrille (toile) in the second half of the year, bc I love mixed media bags.
This is an unpopular opinion, but I think, if you don’t love other H offerings like RTW or dishes, and have a lot of patience, it can be cheaper and quicker to buy authenticated reseller at 2X or 3X. I have enough B30s and K28s and I just want to enjoy what I have. So, if my SA sees another one that I would love, I trust he’ll do his best to get it approved. if not, that’s life. I do have a friend who is a VIP, and she is offered limited edition 25s and other things, but honestly, I am simply not on that tier
My advice is be patient, be realistic, only buy what you love, and if something comes for you, all the better. The 25s are simply starting to be a reward for top tier clients or a very lucky few. Otherwise enjoy what you have JMOETA: it may also be that your SA has not been approved to offer that type of bag at this time. That would knock you out regardless of spend (it has nothing to do with you)

I don't think it's all Birkins/Kellys - it's 25s and under that are in such crazy demand at Madison. TBH I would ask for an a la carte order. I think it is actually easier to get a slot than waiting for a K25 or B25 in the right leather and color.
I think B25s are difficult right now. It seems like kellys are much easier.
I just want my K25 or B30. Why does this have to be so damn difficult
ETA: to stay on topic I’m at 2.5:1 at Madison.
B30 should be much easier, good luck!I just want my K25 or B30. Why does this have to be so damn difficult

From your lips.
I haven’t mentioned it for months. Maybe I will. I’m not pressed at the moment and happy to slow burn but I want my pretty. I also want to say thank you to @880 @QuelleFromage and so many others during this holiday season. Your insights are invaluable. And your eye candy isn’t bad either!Headed to NYC in a couple of weeks. Wanted to ask the forum’s experience with QB at the Hermes NYC boutiques. I am excited to check out the new store!
I don’t have a local Hermes and my buying history is most robust on the USA website.
Do I need an appointment to see bags at the NYC stores?
Thank you!

awww gosh thank you so much!! it was good to be back!Congratulations on all your purchases. Everything is lovely but God bless your daughter she's beautiful
Hi there, perhaps others can chime in, but I was at the Madison store several weeks ago. It is not my home store, but I am a long-time client at my local home store with a strong buying history. I think if you want to just LOOK at the bags from afar in the display cases, you can just go in and browse/window shop at any time. However, if you want to personally be SHOWN any bags or SLGs, you would need to make an appointment. I did not ask for a QB, but I asked for a neutral C18 or Mini Lindy with GHW and feel so lucky to have gotten a Mini Lindy (Nata GHW). It has been very hard to get this from my local store, as bad as a QB. They did ask for my name for approval before they could sell me any of the leather goods (I presume to check my overall H buying history, I am not sure if online purchases on the website can be seen through their system as well).
Texted my SA today to buy something and got a response that he’s no longer at the company. So sudden! Wondering if I should call to ask for another SA to work with or go to the store and see who I meet. I have a newborn so going to the store is a little tough, although it would be a nice reprieve from this endless feeding burping changing napping cycle
