Sometimes when special edition items are made in limited quantities for VIP and celeb clientele, it can be beneficial to have worked with one consultant for many years as that relationship may earn you special items such as described. My family and I worked with one person for over 6 years and I was able to reserve a very special, extremely rare bag which I'd never been able to get otherwise. And just to clarify, we worked with our consultant for years but in all that time didn't spend over $15,000 a year (that would be the absolute most per year) so it's not like I was the big spender who naturally would have been included on that reserve list; it was simply a favor and sign of appreciation for the loyalty over the years....Of course that favor ending up costing $5,000 but at least I feel special carrying that bag around!
