I think you hit one of the variables spot on. SAs will always have to check in with their SM whether they can sell a quota bag to anyone. But if they like you, they’ll definitely push for you, regardless, sometimes, of how much you pre-spend.

Just keep in mind, as others here have better explained, that there is no magic formula for getting a quota bag. There are an enormous amount of variables coming in to play (pre-spend, likability, availability of stock, professional relationship between a SA and the SM ; I‘ve even heard stories of people getting a quota bag early on but getting offered sizes or colors that were rejected by bigger spends, etc.).
It’s more objective in Asia. The spend has to be there in addition to all the X factors. So, I guess for folks in the US, it’s works in their favor to be their most charming self. :)

just be honest with the people you deal with in Hermes
that's what they respect and respond to
ask them that question; gauge the response

every country, every store, every sales person, every customer is different
you need to know the dynamic that applies to you in your situation

Hi! Just wondering if this is the thread for this question but I want to ask some tips on how to get an offer for the second quota bag. I just recently received my b25 but I want to work on getting another one in a different color and size. Was it easier in your case to get the 2nd quota bag offer? And would the pre-spend be around 1:1 or more?

Hi everyone,

i have a question, for those have hit their bag quota limit this year and the SO bag arrived subsequently, did your store give you your SO or is it holding it until next year?
Anyone can have a different experience of course but I’ve been told by my store (in the US) if you’ve met your quota already, you will still get your SO when it arrives.

If larger like B30, it’s much easier to obtain. It’s more a matter of you might have to wait if other good customers have not received a bag yet and supply scarcity. But, as a good customer who keeps top of mind, you should just ask your SA directly. It probably varies more according to SA relationship and scarcity than prespend.

if smaller like mini K or K25, prespend in the US varies. ive heard members state 1:1, but that they are also “great customers” and to me that’s an oxymoron and makes no sense. Like, are you resetting your prespend each time? In the US, you don’t exactly have to do that if you are a solid and regular customer with some tenure. Shrugs

im simplu 5X and have stopped counting simply bc I told my SA a few days ago that I don’t know what I want next (i haev a a lot already) and he should surprise me if he sees a B25 combo that I would love. Unfortunately, I think the combo I want doesn’t exist; a variation is too hard to get; and, H doesnt SO it. (my dream bag might be a berline toile black/ grey B25, brushed phw. The pic of thr K32 berline I have (thst is inspiring my new interior design project) makes the toile look like a grey with sheen, which is probably the light. So if I saw one IRL, I might be meh. But, there’s RTW stuff at H that I like, so I just buy it when I see it.

Does it matter when the 2 bags are purchased for the yearly quota in the US? If I got an offer a couple months ago can I try for another one when I am back next week? The boutique is out of state and I am wondering if there’s restrictions on timeframe between offers? For example January-June you can get 1 and the second half of the year you can get the 2nd one or it has to be 6 months since your last bag (ie if you bought in February you can’t buy until July), or none of it matters and it’s just 2 bags in a year (ie February and June). Tia!

In the US, it’s two quota bags in a calendar year, timing doesn’t matter.
