Always love your detailed response :hugs:Wow I don’t have any idea about deliberately holding stocks. IMO shopping is getting harder and harder at H :( I can’t travel just for a bracelet and also I want to make my profile in my local boutique. So buying locally would be nice in grand scheme of things 😁 Do you think a good helpful SA can do worldwide search for a client in this scenario ? Can I ask my SA to search internationally?My SA was so reluctant to tell me about price increase that he said” we find out when public finds out”. How can he so clueless or he seems to think that I’m so dumb lol. I heard some rumours that price increas would be quite substantial 🙁

Take a look at previous price increase threads. H had a great year, but I do believe they understand the global environment and things are going to temper this year across consumer spending. That’s all to say I predict increases will be in line with years past. H isn’t as egregious as other brands which is a great positive, though I find jewelry prices have been rising extortionately (albeit somewhat tied to price of materials).

As for your SA, how senior are they? How long have they been there? I am positive that the run of the mill H SA knows a bit about corporate decisions with a little lead time over the public, but I highly doubt that they have months to quarters lead time on the Dumas family secrets.

An SA often faces substantial hurdles to world wide searches for merchandise that another boutique does not wish to give up. It can be impossible at times, and I would not assume that this is something that can be accomplished prior to an imminent price increase. One of my world searches for a particular CSGm years ago took over 12 months. I’ve been waiting for specific crystal for over 18 months, and I’ve fully paid. As @acrowcounted pointed out, the items may have already been pulled off the floor. If so, they might not even show up in world search.

Agree with this. I would not assume that your SA has much lead time with respect to corporate decisions. I wouldn’t take your SAs inability to get you what you want as a personal affront.

Price increases aren’t supposed to happen until February. I doubt any SA has any idea right now of what they will consist of. I’m guessing this piece is genuinely sold out, probably even world wide, and production is slowed/ being warehoused globally until the new year. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a happy solution to this available for you. That being said, I wouldn’t expect the price to increase more than $300-ish. In the scheme of H fine jewelry, it’s relatively negligible.

Thanks for your input:) my SA is head of leather department but he is very reserved kind of a gentleman not very chatty but knowledgeable. I hope so that price increase will be not as painful as CHANEL 😁

you are absolutely correct I checked from my dubai boutique and its not available there as well. So 3 or 500 is quite negligible:) now I’m relieved 😅
Thanks you so much my beautiful friends your insights are invaluable. Happy holidays

The SM has to agree to and do the worldwide search. While in terms of effort it's not a huge lift, I think it can be a pain at times. I have two RTW pieces that were worldwide searches, and, even after the boutique agreed to send the item, it did not arrive to my local store until around 2 months later which was after around 2 months of waiting. So, if you are trying to "get in" before some price increase, I'm not even sure timing wise that you could. This could also be playing into their reluctance to do a WWS, because, what if it comes in after some price increase, there is a risk they might perceive you as no longer wanting the item.

Hi all, please pardon my ignorance. I’ve been wanting the Kelly Clochette bracelet with or without diamonds. The US website has one in WG but I prefer RG. Do you all know if I can place an order for it in RG? I’m ready to wait!

@acrowcounted they would have to do a worldwide search and I have not asked about that…

Have you asked about any search? A local country search for a charge send is relatively easy and would be your SA‘s first order of business. If they aren’t willing to do a WWS, it’s even less likely they will go to the trouble of allowing you to special order it.
Regardless, my sources say that many H jewelry artisans in Paris were commondeered by other luxury houses and thus H jewelry manufacturing has been hampered with no improvement anticipated near term.

Hi everyone,
I’m new here. I’m wondering if anyone owns or knows about this Kelly baguette bracelet. It is stunning. I have no idea how much it costs… probably a house but I want it so badly. I’ve never seen it in my store. Maybe if not this one, I’d get the WG Pave Kelly bracelet. That is beautiful also but I’m not sure. Hoping I can get an exotic Kelly offer out of this bracelet purchase.
Let me know thoughts and if you have an answer please!

This isn’t silver so I am answering here. The bangle pictured is part of H’s ”high jewelry” fine jewelry line. Recommend asking your SA specifically about it as there were likely only a handful of them produced and they would not have been featured online. (Exotic bags are much easier to get imo than plain leather bags so i personally think you are overdoing it, and orange exotic is probably going to be difficult simply because I doubt many/any store ordered it as it is not a coveted bag and would probably be hard for a store to sell, relatively speaking.)
