A friend of mine who's visiting family checked it out for me and they told her they've been sold out, and they released another, but there's a waitlist for that and they needed to put deposits on it. AND they give preference to those that have a record of purchase in Korea

Thanks for sharing. Yes the one thing in common is they give preference to local purchase history.
For those looking for the 20 motif, there is one available for sale at Seoul Maison! The bracelet was on display but not available for sale and they have also stopped taking orders. It was my first visit to this store so I don’t think it is a vip only item.
Thanks for the info! I wish I could fly over to pick it up! Initially, it seemed like a LE item (once sold out, then no more available), but I wonder if it is just limited production/limited availability. Do you happen to have any info from the SA you talked with about whether either piece will be available longer term? Thanks!
I got the sense that it is like the other regional exclusives which are permanent but replenished slowly/unpredictably! She did say the bracelet could be ordered except orders were closed now so “maybe next year”! Oh, also that you have to order the bracelet in person which makes it a little complicated for visitors…
This is wonderful news, thank you! Now I just need to see if a friend travels to Korea to coordinate. I wonder if I made a trip if they might have the 20 motif on hand!
In case anyone is wondering, 20 motif is pretty much available all the time at the maison.
Thank you for reporting! That means I should justify a trip to pick one up ❤️
I've been eyeing the blue agate five motif bracelet. I have an upcoming trip to Seoul in September, but honestly have no idea what inventory looks like right now in Seoul.
Has anyone gone recently who can attest to the stock specifically five motif bracelets? Thank you!

Unfortunately not recent stock - but I went in November of last year - very few 5 motifs - had MOP, carnelian, and malachite available. I went to multiple stores - you can also call the stores to check for stock. I did that and asked if there were any English speaking sales associates and they were able to check stock for me. Most of what I saw available tended to be pave pieces.
Following! Going to Seoul in September too 
heard that Seoul prices aren’t that great compared to US even if we take the tax refund into account. Any insights would be appreciated!

Any insights would be appreciated!highly recommend making an appointment at the seoul maison. they had wonderful service (coffee, desserts, a tour of the store, ogling at the seoul exclusive and being able to try on the pieces). the boutique was sooooo light and airy - very different from the dark and hush decor of their usual stores. not sure about stock as i only tried on a few pieces but have heard from friends that they do seem to have more stock in general. i didn't get anything at the seoul maison but i purchased a necklace in busan. tax refund is aprox 8%. they use global blue so the tax refund worked out to be slightly under 8%
Would you mind sharing if the Seoul exclusive is back in production and available to purchase? Or is it still display only at the moment? How did you like it having tried it on?
I visited the store a few years ago and wasn’t able to see the collection in person. Granted that it was during the time with lots of uncertainty and all time hype for most luxury houses…
