They did have SLGs on display in pretty pastel colors! And our store does get new colors but just not as often as the neutrals.

Fall in love with azure blue and chartreuse green recently, felt we need more vibrant colors to brighten our days especially here PNW 🌫🌧️🌨️⛈️
I got a offered a mini bolide, the number 1 on my wishlist pretty fast, color is vert peppermint. I am in love. Not sure how much this will set me back on my pre-spend for a quota bag. I asked my SA on pre-spend level and he said there's no requirement? How much has you all had to wait for a mini Kelly or a Birkin 25? Is Seattle store more competitive than Vancouver? Anyone have more insight in Seattle vs other west coast stores? San Fran, Vancouver, etc?

I've only shopped at my home store so cant compare competitiveness across locations. However, the Bellevue store is the only one in the PNW - I would guess it's fairly competitive due to location alone. That being said, most people in this forum will tell you there is no set formula at any store so its best to just enjoy the ride! Congrats on your beautiful mini bolide
Unfortunately at least 5:1 for a mk in Bellevue, and the mini bolide is pretty desirable so it will likely set you back and does not count to pre spend. All Sas are trained to tell you there is no pre spend.
got it, thank you so much for the tip. I guess if anything, I will get to work on and develop my patience, score some fun pieces and a gorgeous and high quality bag. Lucky for me, I like a lot of their items, so pre-spend isn't an issue. I just wish their women's RTW can be as trendy as their men's pieces. I think the women's pieces sometimes feel quite mature whereas the men's are pretty casual and cool. I saw a male mannequin in store and wish the tech bros here would dress more like that!I've only shopped at my home store so cant compare competitiveness across locations.

Congratulations!!It's in my avatarI would rather not disclose the prespend as this might give others wrong idea. My prespend is relatively low for this bag compared to the "common" ratio we are seeing in this store. I would say I spent much more on my last QB, so that might be the reason that I didn't have to pay much this time.
I was offered a MK at fairly low spend but it wasn’t on my wishlist and I had no interest in purchasing it.
I'd say it was about 15-18 months ago with my old SA. She offered me a red MK...no idea which red as I wasn't interested. Not sure about the price of an MK so not sure of prespend but was at about 2.5 by the time I accepted my next bag, a B30.
...Is this April Fool's? 😅
They're not going to talk about pre-spend level. Others have chimed in with great advice. It's a super cute bag!
It's a pretty competitive store if you read this forum thread, but once you show your loyalty to the store, you'll get the bags you want within reason. If what you really want is a quota bag, then you should turn down other bags unless it's something you really want.
Agree with everything said here! I was directly told by my SA that getting an in-demand non-B or K bag would delay getting a B or K.
I think sometimes things are about timing. If you’re offered something u love don’t be scared that your quota will be delayed. Many of times I have been offered non-quota bags because the specs I want are finally in. I have said to my SA “what about my k or B and they have always been offered when available.
