Probably about the same as someone new walking into BH or SCP and hoping for a rare QB without buying other things

many local, regular, high spending clients wait patiently for their offers, exotic and otherwise, and I would hope any flagship would save rare QBs (I count lizard in this category) for their locals. If you are a loyal regular at BH or SCP waiting for months for your QB, wouldn’t you feel it a bit unfair if a brand new walk-in got one without any spend?

As far as I know, the only boutique where you might have a chance is Paris lottery

of course I would be very interested to hear if your experience is otherwise.

ETA: my only pointer would be (and I mean this seriously) to buy a sofa

@880 I know you meant it seriously, but I spit out my drink at "buy a sofa"! :lol:

ETA: Sorry @janettjay122 , I'm not trying to be dismissive of your sincere inquiry regarding getting an exotic quota bag. I do agree with @880, Paris is probably your best bet for getting an exotic QB without any purchases. Good luck- hope you find some goodies.

Yea. I thought so. It makes sense. I was just thinking maybe since it was a flagship store unlike SCP there might be a chance. The sofa thing I definitely get. If I had the funds I’d get one. I know someone finally got the couch and dining table (the marble) set at SCP. But thanks for the honest opinion! Truly appreciate it! :)

I know this has been asked somewhere but I couldn’t find it. Does it take usually longer to get your 3rd and 4th quota bags? It’s been about a year since my 2nd (July 2022). It didn’t take a lot of prespend to get my first (less than 1:1) or second. But maybe they are making me “catch up”?! Lol

ETA: @janettjay122 , I believe your SCP SA may also be able to see purchases you made at other US boutiques
(others may have more definitive info)

Is the a/c working at the Flagship store/Madison Ave? Has been out for a while, and it is supposed to be a hot week ahead, Fingers crossed!!

I was just there on Saturday. The AC isn't at full blast but it's not exactly sauna in there. My SA said it hasn't been working properly but there's a little bit. I wore a short sleeve cotton dress and did not feel too hot. (BTW, I would have my car and home AC on once temp goes about 65 degrees F.)

Would appreciate some advice: I would really love to purchase a mini lindy (in a gold or grey color, GHW) from the store (not from reseller). How would you approach this? I have no purchase history at any of the 3 stores, and I can shop in NJ as well. Or would you just try Paris in this case? I don't mind spending some money but I don't necessarily want to drop 1:1 (or more) for a mini lindy, even though I understand it's a highly sought after bag. Thank you!

Are SAs generally open to talking about the timeframe of getting the FIRST QB offer? As for my SA, he only says it takes longer, which makes me think that I am not still eligible for the offer... Of course, I think it's true that it takes longer, and somebody said in this forum that when SA says it takes two or three years, it means you will never get.

If I have purchase history at the Meatpacking location, should I stick with shopping there? I’m planning to hopefully purchase fine jewelry (with diamonds) again, and curious if I should try Madison or stick with my last store in MP district (where I was offered a QB after purchasing diamonds).
Thoughts? Thanks so much!
