Not a QB but ended up with some beautiful accessories for my hopefully incoming offer!Update: he listed 2 bags that aren’t on my wishlist so it’s a no! Bummer! Still dropping by late afternoon to check them out just in case
Got it, thanks!
Next week! Ive never been to NY in the spring so I’m really looking forward to it
Yes I plan to be around west village and soho! Will also carry around a tote bag to put it in, just in case
KP isn’t a quota bag unless it’s in exotic in which case it is consider such. Not sure about KTG but my guess is that it’s also not a QB. I’m sure someone else will chime in and confirm and share availability. Generally speaking- KP hasn’t been super easy to come by so it may not be available even if it’s not a QB and you have prespend.

And did you end up buying it?
) I also kind of want a small or mini bolide. I assume the bolide would be easier/faster to get, but I'm not sure how that will effect my kelly timing. I've read on here some people say if you get a non-QB that means it may take longer to get the QB since you already got a bag. Is that true? I'd rather just wait for the kelly if that's the case, but if it wouldn't really matter then I may try for the bolide sooner.Looking for some advice. I started shopping at the Madison store back in 2021, but I was gone for about a year and lost touch with my old SA during that time, so I've been shopping with a new SA since January of this year. I have one K that I got with my old SA two years ago, and I'm really wanting a second one. I made a wish list with my new SA a few months ago but assume it will take a bit of time to get one since I'm pretty particular about size/colors. In addition to another kelly (or two or three
I suggest you ask your SA. I also read here that it delays. I asked my SA and was told “only if you buy lots of non qb”. This may be specific to the individual. I was waiting for my first qb, had a high spend, had been a client for a long time. So again, I’d ask as your situation may differ.Looking for some advice.

prespend is different for everyone but there’s no way you can get a QB without any prespend in any of the NY boutiques. If you’re just after one bag you’re better off going the reseller route
I would consider that your spending is very healthy in my opinion. Some people here will say that your spending is too little since some other people easily drop at least $6,000-10,000 in each visit easily (especially in the Madison maison). But, all varies and what really matters is your relationship with the SA/store. I think you can follow your suit and still can get a QB. In theory and practically, if the store manager and SA really like you and value you, they can offer you the bag regardless of your pre-spend level.
Do not automatically assume that the pre-spend ratio has to be 1-4 per 1 QB. If the store and SA appreciate your loyalty, the bag will come to you eventually. I think people here (including myself) tend to spend too quickly to get a QB too soon. Some people on here exaggerate/emphasize/instigate that the pre-spend should be least 3x (so that it should be fair to them, maybe?). But, it was not the case for me, and I also know of at least 2 other TPFers who spent less than 1:1 on average and still got multiple QBs. It all varies by individuals.
