Pretty much, you need to build a relationship for a longgggg while before getting things offered, and also they rarely have stock, PA can be tough, just keep buyingI went to the PA store for the first time about two weeks ago and I went again on Monday. My SA is very nice, I purchased a mini pop H necklace and the Hermes heure watch but I haven't gotten offered anything (not even picotin or evelyne). Is this normal? I am new to the Hermes scene as well, any words of wisdom would be helpful

Not surprised if they are 2:1 or have been long term client with a very good relationshipWhile I was at the store, I saw someone was offered a kelly in the lobby
That’s the primary, come visit the store, ask for things, chat about other things like to get to know your SA, text regularly for things you’re looking for.
I’m still waiting on a picotin since I first started my journey (June 2021).. but I guess I’m pickier with my color choices. I got an evelyne when I asked tho!

Oh wow really? Since June 2021, that is a long time. I definitely prefer Evelyne over Picotin since it can become a cross-body. But I'm hoping he gets back to me with good news soon
Yeah.. i only want a white one so that’s why, but I’ve gotten a mini lindy so I’m not too upsetOh wow really? Since June 2021, that is a long time. I definitely prefer Evelyne over Picotin since it can become a cross-body. But I'm hoping he gets back to me with good news soon
I’m sure he’ll get back to you soon! Stock has been much better latelyHow long should we shop for/spend here before letting your SA know what bag you’re hoping for? Or do they at some point ask if we have a wish list..? I want a QB so I know it’ll take a while but not sure when or how to bring it up so it’s at least on the SA’s radar!
QB you would wait until SA brings it up, but if you feel you have been shopping and passed a good spend you can drop hints at that time
I think it depends on your comfort level with your SA, but I certainly wouldn't leave it up to your SA to bring up. I would just casually bring up your wishlist and if you can specify your dream bag, etc. If you don't bring it up, your SA may think you're not interested in that and can hence focus on other clients for QBs. I wouldn't take that chance if you're shopping regularly at H.
Yes, definitely ask! Took me a few months to get my pegase. I hadn’t mentioned it after the first time but my SA remembered I wanted one & offered me one
