3.2 does not include bags. If I add the picotin 18 that I got, it is going to be 3.5. My purchases are mostly RTW, Fine Jewelries and Shoes.
Wow. But you know what, I think you may get another quota bag very soon with less pre-spend. Based on some YT bloggers I noticed they may spend a lot for one bag then next comes very quickly with less spending.maybe this will be your case.

I got K25 and thinking about the second bag and I am not sure if I want k/b 25. Just because I don’t have many occasions for k25. As for b25 I feel like it will be uncomfortable to hand-held it all the time. B25 is more like a wish to have it but probably will be not as useful as I want it to be. I like my picotin but not having a shoulder option limits its usage. That's why I am thinking if I should ask for Constance 18.
I totally get this :). I have the same thought when doubting if I really need another k25 or a b25 and should just go with the Constance 18 because of practicality.
 
Looking for a SA to get my first-ever Birkin/ Kelly to complete my collection. But I’ve heard the pre-spend ratio in Northern California is 1:2+, which always deters me from building the relationship.

In general it is 2+:1 and within that range it varies depending on what specs you are looking for (color, type, etc). Hard to get bags will require quite awhile and also depends on whether you click with the SA

I’m in the same boat I got my first qb B25 and alsowondering how the process will be like for my second one. I had to spend 2:1 for my bag and hoping for C18 for my second which is still on my list.

Though I probably I should level set my expectations considering my I got my QB for this year, but I’m already 1:1 after my prespend was reset. If you don’t mind me asking, have you been upfront with your SA about your next bag, what has the reaction been for you?

My SA was pretty straightforward with me since I’ve been shopping with them but when I’ve asked about second wishlist item for next year, I’m not getting much hints or answers anymore!

I haven’t asked about the second QB yet 😅. Since I got my 1st QB just last month, I haven’t shopped that much yet. I plan to bring it up around March. My SA does not really give me hints though. The only time she was straightforward about my wishlist was when she asked me what bag do I want and she came through a week after. Before that, it was me who brings it up everytime we chat about my wishlist and she does not note it down at all.

If you don’t mind, how long has it been since your last QB?

I got my QB in October, so it’s only been a month. I’m already looking forward to my next one (haha).

I’m glad to hear while your SA isn’t very vocal about the QB, she actually comes through! In the end, that’s all that matters for sure. I hope you’ll get what you want in the coming year!
 
I got it with 1.5:1 pre spend in a popular neutral color about a month ago.

My SA said it's not an official quota, but it does require pre spend and is treated "almost like a quota" - after hearing this, I didn't think of it as a quota myself and am still waiting for a b/k 😅 (obviously with more spend since then)
Hey, I hope you got your quota bag of this year already. 🙂 I'm wondering if your pre-spend resets after obtaining C18.
 
Hi! Wondering if anyone has received quota bags recently? If so, would love to hear the specs and your experience!
Mine isn’t super recent, but I got mine in August! I got a mini Kelly touch in deep blue & bleu baltique with ghw. I took my time with my spending so I stretch it out between 1-2 years to reach the 1:1 minimum. In the end, I spent about 1.5:1 in about 1.5 years since my first qb (which was from another SA who no longer works there). If I had to calculate from when I asked for a mini Kelly touch, maybe 1 year. However, I only briefly mentioned I’d only want a mini Kelly touch bc we were talking about what kind of exotic bags I’d be open to. Didn’t realize she had put it on my wishlist, so I was genuinely surprised !
