Thanks for your experience and insight, words of encouragement, etc. To give you more details about my current journey and frustration, I have gone against my fairly practical nature and have bought things that I don’t really need or against my practical side and better judgement. I do like them, don’t get me wrong, but don’t need them or I would rather spend my hard earned cash on other things or other brands. For example, I bought a whole service of 8 dinnerware set just to meet this round of prespend. Buyers remorse. I already have my none H china which I adore and lots of too many sets of casual, themed dinner sets as well, but did this honestly because I was running out of things to buy. I am a very practical person and don’t need another set of china especially a H branded one. Deep down, I think this is me being excessive, I know all this is on me, all in the hopes of securing my next bag. During that meeting when I mentioned my wishlist, I really felt that a year of waiting and not asking was being very patient. I was being good and not pushy. My SA actually brought up my wishlist in late January and so I was honestly hopeful and optimistic and honestly thought I was really close and would get a bag soon/during that quarter. I was pretty optimistic. Fast forward to June, I was getting more and more frustrated and my optimism and patience wearing. I needed to ask; I was holding it all in, disappointment and frustration. During my last visit my SA was showing me another watch (already have one which I still haven’t used which I honestly bought to help with my prespend for my first bag), but yeah I don’t want to tell them outright that I would rather get a Cartier watch instead and I don’t want to spend for any more fine jewelry. I would rather spend my jewelry allocation elsewhere like VC or Cartier or Tiffany. I honestly contemplated just buying that second watch, that’s when I got the courage and brought up the question, do you think I would be getting my next bag by end of the year, in which they replied, you just got a bag. They didn’t even want to talk about it as if yeah it was already decided. So it really leads me to believe, that they are just trying to sell me things with no intention of getting me a bag this year. I didn’t demand a bag, I just asked if there was anyway I would get a bag this year. My SA didn’t seem to like me bringing it up and pretty much just ended that conversation. I felt as if they were thinking it was wrong for me to ask, that I should already just be grateful. My feeling is that my SA has since gotten more clients and is now focusing on them. They have forgotten that it’s been already a year and have no real intention of getting me one soon, ie by the end of the year. So in the mean time, just sell.
I would make an appointment to go into the store to shop with her and see if the vibe is more what you expect while face to face. I’m guessing it will be. But if not, consider moving on to someone new.
