While it’s a beautiful bag, I personally wouldn’t see an exotic C offer as an indication that bags will be easy from an SA. Exotics are much harder for the store to move due to their price point (they’re also more difficult to flip, making them less desirable to resellers who shop at the store). It actually might hurt you in the near future for further bag offers (quota bags) because theoretically you’ve been “satisfied“ with a bag already so there is less priority to offer you another one over other clients who have gotten nothing. I would also suspect that you will now be offered quite expensive pieces (Diamond fine jewelry, leather RTW, full exotic non quota bags) to keep your profile fed. Keep in mind that since covid, the brand seems much more motivated to offer bags to clients who are physically in the store as a surprise and are less and less often calling remote clients with bag offers, even if they know that client is willing to drop everything and fly in tomorrow. This fact probably helped you get the original C offer but will hurt your chances of getting future offers unless you travel there in person often anyway.
That being said, I agree that your home SA likely contacted you because she saw you shopped elsewhere and made a very large purchase. While bag nominations are up to the SA, approvals come from the SM who will review your profile before signing off and it’s very likely, imo, that your recent purchase elsewhere will be strongly held against you by management. The best advice for *easiest* relationships with H is to choose one SA at one store and stay fiercely loyal. There are definitely cases where people successfully maintain two SA relationships at two different stores within the same country (US) however they probably spend enough to make it worth each store’s trouble of looking the other way.
