You can still get most exotics (ostrich, croc, alligator) in California, just no lizard.For those of you interested in exotic bags - is there another location i.e Vegas or Hawaii that you guys go to instead?

My Friend got a verbal invite, were there official invites that went out?Is anyone going to the RTW event in July? Is it expected that you have to purchase if you're invited?

I was wondering about the exact same thing. (Also surprised that my SA asked me given I’m really new and have only inquired one RTW piece - decided to reserve it but haven’t paid).Is anyone going to the RTW event in July? Is it expected that you have to purchase if you're invited?
A few years ago, I was invited to a Jewelry event when I was a brand new client. I had to decline since I was abroad at the time. I've actually had to pass on quite a few events, mostly due to a demanding work schedule. I don’t think it’s had a major impact on my relationship, but I do think attending these events is definitely a nice plus when possible. The Jewelry event was in September if that peaks your interestI was wondering about the exact same thing. (Also surprised that my SA asked me given I’m really new and have only inquired one RTW piece - decided to reserve it but haven’t paid).
I am leaning towards not attending since I have my eye on a jewelry piece for the rest of my prespend and don’t think I will spend too much at the event. Hope this doesn’t hurt 🥺
I'm also pretty new - only got two small things thus far so I was surprised to get invited and also offered the exotics lab for shoes. Unsure if that's a good sign or just generic to everyone.I was wondering about the exact same thing.

I can’t speak on specific spend ratios since I feel like they really vary, but I have friends who shop at SF and PA, and PA’s inventory seems extremely limited across all categories, including bags, so I would think the ratios would be generally higher in PA. I don’t think a CTG would be too difficult to get if you’ve shopped a few times with an SA in SF. Good luck!Can anyone advise on the spend ratios at SF? I'm looking to switch boutiques. I'm a remote client right now but looking to switch to an SA in SF or Palo Alto so I can visit more regularly. I heard SAs are better and less snooty in SF but Palo Alto is closer to me. I'd like to get a Constance to go and eventually a Kelly 25 and maybe a special order one day. Thanks.
