Yes, there is a watch and cocktails event on Wednesday, and then the store is offering private appointments Thurs-Sat. I'm unfortunately out of town but would love to hear about any offers for those who can go!

Wondering what it means that the store is having private appointments? Is the store closed to walk ins and only those with appointments are invited?

There are no rules about prespend in the USA, it’s just a gauge for market competitiveness. It’s not you vs a rulebook, it’s you vs all the other clients. There needs to be a reason to give you the bag over everyone else that shops at your store who also want that bag. The reason could be you’ve spent more, you visit more often, you’ve never made a return, you were finally the one to buy that unsalable poncho that’s been on display for three years, you’ve never gotten a bag before, you’ve been shopping there the longest, it’s been three years since your last quota bag, you’re the only one who can make it to the store to purchase before the month ends tomorrow, you happen to ask right as the manager gets a second date confirmation with the hottie from the bar, or they just plain like you more for whatever reason. None of these factors alone guarantee you a bag and none of them automatically take you out of the running. Your profile doesn’t expire so just be the best well rounded easy to work with client and good things will eventually follow.

Just thought this should be a stickie for everyone in the US :smile:

If any newcomer could spend non bag 2-3:1 for a guaranteed 25B gold, 25B being harder than 25K IMO) everyone would move to SF. Non leather spend is better than leather. Stuff that is not as popular is better than the usual charm, first floor merchandise, but only buy the stuff if you love it. If you don’t love the other stuff it’s easier, cheaper and faster to go reseller . JMO

Someone posted that she spent 15K in three years and her SA put her on the waiting list for a 25B gold. This seems like code for it will take a really long time. A B30 is significantly easier with smaller spend.

I am a Madison client and more than a few of us spent 5X rising during the 2022 summer leather drought to get a B25 sellier (SA was willing to provide one sooner, but there was nothing available that met the specs)

To the woman who deleted her post re bag offer, (was it on this thread?) and whose SA stopped responding electronically, I suggest going to see her in person, even if it means dropping in

JMO and YMMV

This is very informative and I can't believe it has changed a lot. 6 years ago, I was offered a Birkin but I declined it because I couldnt wrap my head spending that money in one go and honest to goodness, I only bought two scarves and a belt. Now I am trying to catch up. @880 , If you may remember, I was the one who wanted a Bolide. Now I am buying RTW at Hermès just to be offered a Bolide! Imagine not even a quota bag.
