Hi ladies, would love to get your input on when to bring up the quota bag topic with SA when nearing the 1:1 spend. My SA brought it up at the start of our relationship but we haven’t talked about it since then... which is fine cos there were a lot of other stuff I was interested in anyway.

Do you just continue to spend and wait for them to ask for a wish list? Is that how it works? also when they ask for the wish list is that an official request for a quota bag?
Is there something specific you would like? If I were you, I would just mention casually when you meet your SA that one day you would really really love a bag in XYZ specs, second choice ABC. Let her take it from there because Hermes as we all know, can be unpredictable and also things do take time to craft.

Yes there’s something specific I would like... which I’m guessing is a very sought after colour (craie). Happy to wait for the bag... but was wondering how to broach the topic with my SA. Thanks for the tip — I’ll try to bring it up this weekend when I see her (if I get the courage too that is)

Ask to see something small in Craie and mention a bag to match in future. ;) Bon courage!

Great idea! Sounds like a subtler way to ease into the topic of quota bags. Thanks for sharing your H wisdom, as a newbie I really appreciate it!


I have waited 3months still no news. SA texted me a few days ago to apologize and say need to wait somemore
So while you wait do you continue spending with the SA? Hope you’ll get good news soon... at least your SA sounds like they’re on the ball and

Thank you for your response! Seems like it gonna be a long wait for me then.

how long have you been waiting for yours? Did you give your SA a specific list or are you more flexible? Fingers crossed it won’t be too much longer for you

For me, when i was near the amount I casually asked her if it is very hard to get a kelly or birkin. She then asked me what specs i was looking for and helped to calculate my spending. At that point she told me another 1-2k will be good. A week or 2 later she messaged me that one of the item i had requested for arrived. When i went to pick it up she asked me for the specs of the bags and drafted the request. However, when i was about to step out of the store she said short by a little bit again but she will submit the request first and if i can add a small item the next round, chances will be higher. After a month just this week, i went down to place deposit for a jewelry and to get 2 other items. I asked her about the request and she said it was not approved yet but after my purchase that day her manager will see and approve. However, when i asked her roughly how long will it take she told me that it depends and might take a year. So now, i’m just wondering how will we know if it’s approved or we just have to wait for them to contact us. i was told that it’s best not to spend while waiting for the bag.

As for the specs, she will prompt me like u want size 25? What about colours? Which i told her neutrals, grey tones and she was like what about black which i said yes too. Then during the recent appointment i asked her if i should change to k28 instead since k25 looks really small then she was telling me to stick to k25 since she thinks it suits my frame better. And for my lifestyle to consider a constance since birkin can’t sling. So i told her next round will consider a constance.

Hi ladies, just wanted to check after giving your specs for your quota bag after how long then you will follow up with your SA on it? And what’s the longest you have waited for the bag?
My first quota bag was a Constance, was easy with colours just mentioned that I wanted something neutral. Got it within 2 weeks.
2nd Quota I requested for a kelly 20 but SA came back and asked me if I wanted to consider a K25 instead, was specific with colours and got it within 2 weeks too. I wasn't picky with the leather so maybe that helped?

Oh ok, she was asking me for specific colours etc so was giving her tones that i like. I just didn’t realized that i will probably have to wait a long long long time for it b

I believe you have bought a couple of times from the SA and have built a relationship. If so, there is no harm to be open about it and ask.

I asked my SA directly after she told me not to switch stores if I want a K or B. I used the chance to ask her during my next visit if my spending was enough. We had a discussion on this topic.

I think there is no harm asking and have a good understanding. Better than guessing away and wondering what to do.

I told her I'm not sure yet, either B or K but I definitely want 25. I asked her what's the amount for both? She said it is different for both.

Hi @alleyinewonderland - out of curiosity, what’s the amount she gave for the K25?

I never bothered about spend before because I wasn’t interested in B/K (my ‘quota’ bags are Cs)... But lately I’ve been warming up to the idea of a K :giggle:
 
Wondering for those who shopped at H stores but not the taka store, for huge purchases, are you able to pay with more than 1 credit card? Cos thinking of maximizing the cash rebates for purchase of huge amounts.
usually for luxury purchases they allow you to split credit cards, it is the same everywhere.
I have paid with several credit cards in cartier, hour glass, chanel, LV
even when LV SA sent payment link, I have managed to get my SA to split the payment in 2 so that I can pay in different credit card, haha

So I believe Hermes should be the same.
In cartier furthermore we used 5 different credit cards.
