Thank you so so much!!! You are correct about my history and that's why I was able to get the offer and I truly believe it's all about finding the right person that works best for you and not always about spend - yes spend on things you love, but relationships matter more imo.
I did thank her and declined the sneakers. I will continue making appts with SA2 in the future.
Thank you!!

Very happy you were able to find SA2 to be more compatible with great chemistry. As always great advise from @880 If you haven’t yet, I’d like to suggest that it may be a good idea to be fully transparent with both SAs that you are making the switch and most importantly, thank SA1 for all her help during your time with her. Respect and appreciation goes a long way. This will avoid any awkward stuttering next time you are in the store. Happy shopping.

I think I do want to let SA1 know, but I'm also torn on how to send that text lol I'm not that great with words, but I do appreciate all of SA1's help because SA1 did always put me down for things I wanted and would text me randomly if I was interested in something.

Personally I would speak with her in person. It’s more personal and respectful. A text message cannot convey the inflection and sincerity when you express your gratitude.

After having two SAs leave within 6 months, I was quite upset I had to find a new SA. So when I showed up for my birthday weekend in Vegas and heard my SA left, I asked that they pair me with someone that would not leave. So they paired me with a newer SA and I absolutely love her. She is communicative and very sweet. My first SA was very communicative but she left after I placed an order over the phone. Then my second one, I made several large purchases with him and he left after 6 months. I never got his cell, just his email and he never replied. He was great when I was there in person but has to track him down to make an appointment.

Now, I have such a great SA. She greets me periodically and we chat almost regularly. I buy something small every month and then when I go to Vegas I order things that I like online with her in person.

I think it truly depends on the relationship with your SA and who you vibe with. I did tell her my wish list, by when I do chat with her I tell her things I'm interested in getting and she sends it to me.

Out of nowhere, she asked if I'd be interested in a birkin or kelly on my next visit even though we discussed sometime in Sept.

I'm just super grateful I found such an amazing SA I can vibe with.

Returning from a trip to Paris with my dream bag - still in a state of shock! The very short version of the story is that this SA remembered me from a previous visit years ago and moved mountains. I'll be playing the lottery when I get home.

Wondering what would be an appropriate way to thank this SA? I've searched old threads but haven't seen many suggestions. She did not give me her card but I'd like to send her at least a note of thanks. Thoughts?

If you have already left Paris, a hand written card. If you are still in Paris or can order for delivery, chocolate/ macaroons and a thank you note.

Hi All,
My first SA went on leave and never told me. Let's call them SA 1. I've been with SA 1 for over 1 year. I texted SA 1 and got an away msg they would be on leave. I emailed the store manager and got paired with SA 2 who will take care of me in the meantime. I hit it off with SA 2 after meeting them and SA 2 offered me my first qb ever in a few days...I felt it was a much better relationship and fun. I asked SA 2 if I could stick with them at that moment. SA 2 said I should work with whoever I feel most comfortable with and they'll be no hard feelings and it wouldn't be awkward. I felt much better. Now months later SA 1 is back and SA 1 texted me regarding a twilly I asked about months ago and that's when I got the away msg. I told SA 1 welcome back etc and that they didn't need to look into the twilly as I picked it up already. After that I didn't think much of it, but then a week later SA 1 msg me about some sneakers in my size and if I was interested in them. My dilemma here is that I'm not sure what to say to SA 1. SA 1 has been good, but never offered me any bags etc. But i appreciate being thought of as I know it's not easy to get anything lately.
I would like to continue with SA 2 as I feel we have more in common and just a better relationship overall and my first qb came from SA 2 and that was very special to me.
Thank you for reading and sharing your advices on this.

If you like the Sneakers that SA 1 is offering, go ahead and buy it from SA1. But moving forward, text SA2 for appointments and for other things that you want to buy.

SA1 contacted you when it behooved her to do so. It was her job. However, she didn’t contact you re her leave of absence, and you had to proactively contact a manager to be reassigned.

i must confess that I am not as nice as @Caramelus to have an in person conversation bc I would worry that she might take it the wrong way. (Kind of like being polite to a date that you do not want to see again). I would simply text no thanks (smiley emoticon) and just make your new appts with SA2.

The fact is, you didn’t like her as much as you like SA2, and being extremely thankful at this junction might give her the erroneous idea that the door is still open for her to keep trying.

Though it pays not to burn bridges, I think the smiley emoticon communicates friendly demeanor But no intention to date.

Thank you for your great advice and pov. I feel a lot better and this is exactly what I did. Sent a thank you msg and said have a good day etc.
I am much more open with SA2 and can be more myself and it's more refreshing. We actually joke about things and it's nice also some fun texts.
Actually going to stop by the store this week just to stop by...lol... with SA2 :)

I have 2 questions and can't figure out anywhere else to ask:

1. Does anyone know if the second offer is easier or harder than the first in the US right now? As in, is it usual practice to wait longer for the second offer than the first? I've heard conflicting opinions on this issue, but all were essentially pre-COVID, so not sure if things have changed given the soaring demand.

2. In the current environment, is the Kelly Wallet To Go in neutrals a hard or relatively easy item to get in the US?

I honestly not sure if the second offer is harder than the first. I just got my offer for my first within 4 1/2 months of getting this new SA. My other two left. I would say my journey started last Sept 25th. I am picking up my first offer end of July.

I am not too sure about the Kelly to go because I haven't yet put that on my list. I think based on what I'm realizing it is the relationship you have with your agent. My first SA left after I placed an order with her.
My second ghosted me when I was not in town. And this new one is very attentive and finds the things I'm looking for. I don't really push her for a quota bag.

She mentioned it to me.
