I’m not sure if it’s just my store (in so cal) or it’s just bc I don’t spend mega bucks but I was told at my store it’s one/year. Or maybe bc I’m a newer client? Or perhaps just increased demand.

At first I was bummed but in retrospect it’s probably better for my psyche and my wallet to slow down and appreciate what I get instead of feeling the need to “get two in before the year ends”

Sorry I should have specified in the US in particular though guess that would have been wrong two lol but I wasn’t aware of any US stores where it’s only one a year. Wonder if that’s official, like Canada’s policy, or a temporary measure put in place.

It might be temporary or specific to the store. Possibly smaller stores have less inventory so maybe has their own restrictions.

It's typically one QB every 6 months, different rules for certain clientele of course, not 2 per calendar year. Just wanted to point that out given your other post mentioning getting a second QB by end of year after just getting your last one(congrats btw!)

Oh I see, I might have been confused there I guess. I thought it resets each calendar year. A blogger I follow made it seem this way. Thank you :))

After “playing the game” I honestly appreciate that it made me slow down and think about what bag I actually want. The bag I would have bought pre loved 6 months ago would have been drastically different from what I decided I wanted now. And I’m glad I had this time to learn the brand and actually figure out what I really want. I agree with you on benefits of slowing down.

Maybe I'm the only one, but...one a year seems like enough? I appreciate that people want to build collections (I do, too!), but it doesn't have to happen overnight. Given the amount of spend that goes into getting each bag, one a year seems like a more than reasonable pace for the vast majority of shoppers. Getting two a year sounds like a really big spending experience, and a treat if someone can pull it off, but why not just enjoy the one?

I honestly thought that after getting my offer I would be good for a very long time.. ugh hate to admit it I’m already eyeing other bags hahahah.

I’m in so cal too. I defiantly think it depends on relationship and spend. I hit 2QB early this year (April) but because I received a SO in January. I feel like SoCal is very competitive so high spend is something that affects QB.

Anyone from socal switching to a new boutique? I heard people getting offers left and right the opening weekend.

I guess I should specify with my SA, I was going off of what I heard from one blogger, so not sure. By the way is Constance considered a QB at your stores?
Click to expand...
I have no idea, I never asked for a Constance. When I talked to my SA about it long time ago, we decided it’s best to keep my wishlist to a minimum and focus on QBs. I work with a very small boutique so their inventory is tight so my SA said they can only offer one QB a year.

I originally continued working with this boutique because I had good luck getting QB offers pretty quickly in the past, but that hasn’t been the case with my current SA since my other SA left the boutique. I didn’t even get one rodeo offer lol, I actually never got anything special offered even though my SA said I was one of their “favorite customers”. At this point I don’t really believe anything and why I plan on switching to another boutique.

Yep! Across all categories including FJ. I keep getting mixed messages, one day they say the bag I want is impossible, but when I ask further I get responses like oh it’ll happen, relax.

All I know is that if somebody is saying no, you’re talking to the wrong person because I made this happen multiple times before. I normally have very solid relationships with SAs and enjoy working with other luxury brands, so hopefully this is a one-off.

Yep that’s super weird. Seems like someone’s blocking you from getting the offer. Whether that’s SA or store manager for some reason. Hope you get your offer soon!
