It’s a made to measure event. They can do mens and women’s clothing. My SA told me that purchasing a significant amount of made to measure is a sure way to get a quota bag.

This may be a daft question, but what is deemed "a significant amount"? Im getting ready to go in for a M2M suit and expect that its going to be high 4 figures ...maybe low 5 figures. Just wondering, it might weigh in favor of ordering an extra set of pants or something like that.

I will be there too. 4 figures won’t do anything. I would aim for at least a 2:1 spend during the event and make your intentions known to your SA when you get there that you will buy but you expect something in return.

Checked the store out today for the first time, they had some mosaique pieces in gold which I loved and asked to ship out, but they seemed to have trouble with their network for maybe 10-15 mins. Tried a few of their point of sales from the front to the back, and finally was able to print out the receipt. Felt like I should have just asked them to “phone order” it while I was in store so I can just pay via their link, but I didn’t mind.
I asked about box leather Bastia or Calvis and the advisor checked, but only saw epsom. Really wanted a first box piece, so the hunt is on! I really wish that I bought the box Bastia or Calvi online earlier this year when it was on H.com.
Oh! I saw that they had a “back pocket” for the Birkin in size 30 in Gold (think it was in Swift) that I thought was cute for back pocket storage lol. Though they didn’t have one for my 25 cm.
One of their advisors had asked which boutique I got my Birkin 25 from and had let me know that it’s really hard to get one from there. Which I thought, isn’t that typical for all boutiques? The folks were so nice and I liked chatting with them. They definitely are warm and friendly asking folks who were browsing if they’ve been helped already.

I feel that this layout and square footage is definitely bigger than San Diego’s boutique and I really like the non-square/rectangle layout. I think San Francisco is a little intimidating due to the multiple floors, but really SF is bigger and I consider Palo Alto and San Diego to be a “comfortable” or “cozy” store.

I remember once it was like SLG Christmas (lots of variety for SLGs), at least compared to now. The Bellevue store had nothing for SLGs (a beautiful exotic bearn wallet but just not practical for every day use). I believe I was told the PA store is designed to be like a living room. The flow is lovely. The SF store is beautiful but definitely intimidating.

Each location definitely has their own charm that appeals to everyone differently, and I totally appreciate that.

I started in Aug, and I got asked what bags I’m into, but I’m not really into any other bags. My focus was on the dream bag b25. I didn’t think much, I was thinking it would take 1 year to get it. I basically bought only things I wanted. I didn’t buy things that were recommended. I don’t intend on selling the things I buy either. I had a 1:1 spend only, that’s not including the constance slim I got offered and purchased. I bought every month, almost every 2-3 weeks I would buy something. I went to the store 3 times only (including getting the b25) and all purchases were shipped. Definitely be patience! I bought from all categories. I didn’t focus on jewelry or RTW only. I only bought earrings, tshirt, watch from those top categories. The rest were just scattered in home and scarf. Hope that helps! How long have you been waiting? I think it helps if you’re really into the items and brand loyalty. I wasn’t into Hermes before but I really started to fall in love with the brand over time with the things I have purchased.

Wow!! That’s amazing! I’ve been shopping with my SA since June 2021, but didn’t ask for a qb until April 2022. I initially started purchasing a lot of leather items which might be why..? I only recently started focusing on non-leather items. I also recently got a mini Lindy in august.. so I’m not sure if that’ll delay me getting a qb despite my SA saying it doesn’t.. I haven’t asked about a qb since April until last Friday. Not sure if I should ask about it the next time I see her..

Getting any bags would delay it (I think and from what I read). I never mention any bag, although one time I was asking for a tpm, but I actually didn’t really want one, but keep seeing everyone with one. I decided not to get one and wait for the b25

Glad you stuck to the one! Yeah.. I’m thinking the same thing, but I guess I also don’t mind since I do rly love my tpm & mini Lindy. It’s my plan to wait for my qb ever since my Lindy. I hope my SA will have something for me next year :)
