Hi All! Q on quota bag limits. If I bought a B in Paris in June, would I be ineligible for a Kelly in September (assuming I had a strong profile, spend, etc.)? I wasn't sure what the policy was in the NYC boutiques and would appreciate any advice. Thanks so much and apologies in advance if this q was answered already. :smile:

Nope :smile: Official limits are 2 per year in the US

Fantastic! I always thought you had to wait 6 mth between quota bag purchases, and although I don't mind waiting, Sept happens to be my bday. ;) Thanks again!

It used to be 1 QB every 6 months with a maximum of 2 per year but that changed a few years ago and you can theoretically get both QB at the same time but are still limited to 2 per year. I hope you get your next QB on your birthday.

I actually think you'd be fine either way as, although reports differ on whether US SAs can see your Paris purchases, so far they don't seem to apply to any US quota. I bought two quota bags in Paris last year, one in May and one in September, and was offered another in October at Madison for the reopening (and I do NOT have a strong profile at Madison).
The "semester" system used to apply to January-June and July-December, and was sometimes applied as a six-month wait between bags, but that hasn't been in effect for some while. It's two bags a year, with some flexibility when things like SOs come in.
Excited for your bag!

My Mom will only be visiting the boutique with me and wants to purchase a bunch of items (blanket, belt, jewelry, shoes). She's not interested in B/K, but I am! Should I add her to my account, so the spends count on my profile, and she can just buy her own items?

I don’t think they’ll let you do this. Best just to buy her things for her under your account with your payment and have her reimburse you afterwards.

do. I think if you are both there in person and your SA knows you well, everything can just be done under your name.

I’ve introduced my mom to SAs in Makati, Philippines; Liat, Singapore; and Madison. In all cases, SAs have given me some ’credit’ for her spend (in the sense that they text me, and fulfill her requests for non QB bags like TPMs, due to the initial strength of my relationship and her subsequent purchases). She has her own acct, but at least in NY, where prespend isn’t set into stone, and where linked selling is officially not allowed or encouraged, I don’t think it matters. . . At least in terms of bags. In NY, I made the TPM request for her. In other locations, she made the request. These are of course much easier than coveted QBs, but I have every reason to think that a QB request wouls also be fulfilled (with the corresp9nding normal wait time). So, my experience seems to be most similar to that of @glena0710, but even if yours is not the same, in NY or the US, im not sure it matters as much. YMMV.

Yes, i wouldn’t do this personally. But, everyone has a different approach.

Same, the conversation goes so much better in person, but I think it depends on your relationship. Today, my SA chatted about my second qb wish, and also any non quota bags I wanted and he told me I could text him the color I wanted. But I wouldn’t have proactively brought up my wishlist via text.

I did!! I loved it but they didn’t have my size in the etoupe, so my SA put me on the list. I did get some other goodies though, including jumping on the bandwagon on the stiff dress, but in the light pink color (I think it’s called rose perlee).

ooo I didn't know it came in that color! Would love to see a mod shot if you are so inclined. :flowers:
