Hi, thank you! I have not been calculating pre-spend but I do buy from ready to wear, jewelry and shoes. The only housewares that purchased are 2 mini folia lamps and candle holders. I've been shopping in SF for about 4 years. Good luck!
Hi SF Hermes lovers,
I recently scored a mini 24/24 (trench/permabrass) online and was amazed by its quality and versatility. Hence just went into the store for pick up a scarf for mom yesterday as a start of my H journey!
I'm curious on what's the best strategy moving forward if I want to pace myself for 1QB per 1.5 or even 2 years (that's the spending speed I am comfortable with / not interested in other non-QB at least for now as I am enjoying my 2424!). Is it recommened that I consistently make small and medium purchases once a few months, or I should make a decent prespend fast (then probably making small purcases before getting the bag), then take long breaks (will that have an negative impact once I'm ready for the next bag)?
Also if any one know what's the recent prespend for a mini constance? Thanks a ton in advance!!
Don't want to do resell route as I do have interest in purchasing quite some non-leather items.

My advice would be to be OK if you never get an offer as that is when the offers usually come. Go SLOW re purchases. Stop in 1x every month or two. Shop different categories. Make sure you get on well with your SA. Without the latter, you'll never see a QB offer. The ONLY people you'll hear getting a QB with little to no spend are people who linked up with a very spendy friend's SA. Good luck!
PS - Congrats on the online Lindy purchase! Love an online score and the Lindy is a great bag!
I need to check in with my SA and say hello.
Thanks a lot for the handy advice!
Yes - I am totally OK with if I "never" get an offer (well, not never, but not in a rush at all even if it's years). I was just afraid if the duration is too long my prespend is resetted (even without an offer), and of course, won't be daydreaming on little prespend lol. Will definitely pace my self to visit once or twice a quarter and purchase across categories (that was the main motivation to do retail route as I am interested in quite some non-leather items anyway). Looking forward to all the goodies ahead
!!Not sure if this is common knowledge. My SA said that there was a new process of checking your photo ID (to match with account) once a year when you update your wishlist.
I just got offered a mini Constance at 0.2x ratio, with the caveat that it's box so more $$$ than epsom/chevre. I've also been shopping with my SA for 5+ years now so have a very solid relationship with him. Not sure if you're aware but Constance is not considered a QB in SF store, but I don't know it accepting it will delay a QB offer. Good luck!
Omggg I love box on constance! (also saw in the other post it's rough H in box 😍 - imo the dream combo). Congrats on the offer : D
Yeah I heard that Constance is sort of a semi-quota bag? which means that it does not count into the 2 pear year quota, but it might reduce / reset your presprend and delay QB offers.
If you’re interested in box, I’d let your SA know! It’s not for everyone so you may be able to get your hands on it faster (though I don’t think it’s as common as epsom).
I got Constance Mini while I was waiting for the first QB offer last year. That was soon after I bought bracelet. It took about 5 months to receive QB offer after the Constance. Constance may have delayed the QB offer a bit, but I wasn’t in a rush so it was okay, and also for sure I wasn’t a big spender.
I just got Kelly Danse this week, so I’ll see how long it will take for the next QB offer to come my way

I had briefly talked about it to my SA and she added it to my wishlist, but I didn’t get my hopes up because I thought it was one of those harder to get non QB bags. It was definitely a surprise when I got the offer!
