Eye candy from Madison

Thanks for the eye candies! Now in your honest opinion, would it be wrong for me to want every Funny Ice Cream items? LOL. It's interesting to see how Madison have these RTW when FSH did not have them in stock.

I love the funny ice cream pieces!! I especially like the little popsicle buttons, so cute! When I was at FSH in January, they did have some of the funny ice cream stuff...but I guess they sold out!

P.S. Please update us on your Paris trip in the Paris thread!! Waiting to hear!

3 friends now!! All Madison boutique. Starting to regret starting at WS haha. They each have about 10-15K pre spend but that includes a Picotin / Constance for all. This is also all 3 of their’s second bag offer.

1) Craie PHW
2) Noir Crocodile PHW
3) Bleu Jean PHW

I had a friend get at WS in Gold GHW the week of this post.

And a friend who also got either Craie or Nata GHW from madison!
Interesting!

I am a bit confused in earlier posts and wanted to ask some follow-up questions: So, some people in NYC heard from their SAs that getting QBs will be harder this year. 1) Has anyone actually purchased 2 QBs this year yet? (Please do not count "offers and declines." I want to know the actual purchases of 2 QBs.) 2) Is it realistic to expect 1 QB only if I am not a big spender? Thank you!

Was the same rumor about last year. As with everything H, I’m sure it will depend on the situation. Also, you’re asking at the beginning of April and the people buying two will likely be greater by the end of December.

I mean...we're like 3 months and 6 days into 2024, so the number of people who've purchased two bags in that time isn't going to tell you much

Thank you. It's great to know that the rumor has been out there for a while. I was just curious.

I know, right? I was still curious if it is just a rumor or a fact. Thanks for the insight!

Coming out of COVID, people had disposable income and it seemed like everyone converged on H, Chanel, LV, etc. all at once. Bags were still available. It’s all going to come down to your relationship with your SA and your store. Will someone with minimal spend get two QBs at Madison? Unlikely, but I’m sure it happed. Will someone with minimal spend get offered 2 QBs at Wall St that are exactly the specs they want? Unlikely as well. It will all depend.

Is it realistic to expect 1 QB only if I am not a big spender?

I always remember a part of a post written by @acrowcounted (apologies to her if I’m butchering it) that prespend is a moving target and simply a barometer of the popularity and demand of certain bags at a given moment.

These days, given the high spend of the average client at Madison, I would be a bit surprised (and envious lol) of someone who got any dream QB25 etc on little to no spend. But, I’ve always advised people who do not love boutique merchandise to simply not purchase such things from the boutique in the hopes of a bag offer.

Quite a few people have gotten their first QB of 2024 already. (Not me ) But agree with the posts above that a second one this early in the year would be unusual. Bc there are too many clients awaiting their first of the year.

ETA: if you are a long time client or have other factors in your favor, of course the answer might be different.

Thank you for the insight. I was curious if 2 QBs a year are still possible these days for non-big spenders. It's hopeful that the relationships actually matter more (than pre-spend).

Thank you for your kind words. I also doubted that it would be very rare that people would have already fulfilled 2 QBs by now for this year. (What was I thinking, lol.)

Is there a line to get into Madison store during wkday around opening time? I’m interested in non-bag items.

Also, is it safe to take NYC subway w B or C in the midtown and Madison shopping area?

Thanks so much.

There is no wait line outside the Madison store these days. One can just go in and get help for non-bag items easily. And yes, I felt that it's pretty safe to carry any Hermes bag in Manhattan in general. The Madison shopping area (i.e., upper east side) is actually a solid neighborhood for its safety. Hope this helps!

Have a wonderful time in NYC- it's beautiful weather today, so don't spend TOO much time at Hermes!
Note- subways are fine, and certainly the fastest, most economical way of getting all around town.
