I was wondering how long it took for your first Kelly or Birkin to arrive after you left your preference (not talking about SO)...

I know that COVID helped a little with the timing (sad but true). Has anyone waited and finally purchased their first K/B during the pandemic? If so, how long did it take? I literally can't wait :yahoo:

It took me 5 months and $18k of spend before my first offer a b30 Togo noir with ghw! I started in October and picked up my bag Wed.

Can anyone share their experience in terms of wait times for common colors (i.e. black, gold, white, grays) in b25 or b30 - should I expect those wait times to be longer? I've been waiting on my SA for some time now and have a pretty extensive purchase history. I'm located in NYC and he said he's trying his best but inventory is low for these colors, given the halt in production and etc. in paris. Is this true in others opinion?

It took me 5 months with $18k spend to get a black B30. I asked for b30 Togo any neutral any hardware. The people I know that have b25 had several years of history before they were offered one with the shortest wait being 3 years, longest being 7. Both in craie. Can’t believe someone got one in NY in two months!

I gave my original Wish List to my SA and then she left the boutique. My second SA was able to offer me a quota bag in three months, but that was after my original SA had my Wish List for the previous four months, so I guess technically it took seven months from my original request to get my first quota bag on my Wish List. Persistence and kindness are key.

This is what happened to me...

had been working with her for about a year and a half
Spend 10k and got a black birkin 30 in rose gold hardware.
Even though my top pick was b30 in gold and gold i took the black one..

then I spent about another 4k then one day i got an email saying my sa was no longer with the company.

got a new sa and the first experience was pretty bad.. she treated me like i never even been to the store then brushed me off..

and when she finally looked up my account she was a little bit more welcoming.. gave her a list of things i wanted and spent about 2.5k and last week she said my twillies that I requested were there so I mentioned that the twilly will be perfect for my dream bag and she told me its quite impossible to get the bag of my dreams...

I dont know what to do..
Should I just give up?

Your dream bag is a B30 in Gold/GHW? Where are you located? Did she say why it’s quite impossible?

Is it impossible because of the color of your dream bag, or is any quota bag is impossible? There was a recent thread about how difficult it was to get a gold on gold bag.

Is B30 Gold Togo w/ GHW THAT hard to get?

Curious if others have had a hard time or easy time getting this bag... I was creating my first wish list with my SA and she said she hasn't seen this combo come in their boutique in 2+ years!!! She said I would have an easier time getting Etoupe. Gold togo w/ GHW is like my #1 choice by a mile...

From my experience, the spend limit has not increased, their just isn’t enough bags to offer especially if the SA is trying to match what comes in with what fits your wish list. However, I do think clients with a strong relationship may get bags on their list based on inventory prior to perhaps a new client. It also depends on SA’s relationship with SM and if they can make a convincing case for you.

Does anyone know how/if COVID has affected the quota bag spend limits for your first bag?
