Is the consensus that a B30 is easier to get as a first QB offer at SCP, compared to a K25 or B25? I’m aiming for neutrals so that makes it more difficult too I’m sure. I will definitely ask for what I truly want, but I just wanted to manage my expectations. Thanks in advance :amuse:
My SA says a B30 is much easier. But, just ask for what you want. It’s really a matter of patience and spend/relationship and being top of mind.
 
Usually yes. A ratio of about 2:1 will probably get you a B30 neutral somewhat easily. But from what I heard from others in the past is that B/K25 are slightly more higher prespend especially for neutrals and longer wait because they are in high demand. It might be different for you cause it also highly depends on your relationship with the SA and the broadness of your wishlist.
Thanks that makes sense! I’m hoping I get the K25 but I would love to add a B30 to my collection down the line anyways. Guess it just depends on timing / what’s in stock!
 
My friend got a B30 Gold on Gold last October 2022 with a 2:1 spend (bags not included). It was her first QB. She started shopping with my SA in Feb 2022.
I started shopping exclusively with my SA since summer 2020 (I live near the store and no where to go during covid :biggrin:) and my first QB (B25) was in November 2021 that was me being picky. In 2022, I got a C18 and K28. Both are on my wishlist. This year, I told my SA I don't know what I want so I just buy other things I like so far. However, I shop with a group of friends so my SA would see my face at least twice per month :biggrin:.
Do you mind sharing what your prespend was for the B25? I understand that it will vary case by case of course but just wanted to get a better idea. 2:1 for B30 seems to make sense at SCP. I think I will get to 2:1 soon based on my current rate of spending lol
 
I don’t think it’s a hard fast rule. It depends on being in the right place right time. Just put down what you want. You can ask for a b30 and a K25 or b25 whichever comes first that fits your specs would be offered to you
Thanks! I’m definitely going to ask for my top bags and see what I can get. This is my first time shopping at H so there’s so much to learn, but it’s fun and exciting :nuts:

Good to know, thanks! I have been going in every week or two because I can’t seem to contain myself LOL. Also I feel like since I’m purchasing H items for the first time, there’s a lot of things I want to get from my wishlist. Maybe I will slow down soon.. haha

I honestly cannot remember but it should be around 2.5:1, and I waited for more than 1 year. Well, I wanted a Kelly but Kelly is harder to get, so after turning down few Birkins during that 1 year time frame, my SA pretty much told me I should take the B25 (Etain RGHW) which was a very hot bag/combination at the time :biggrin:

Haha… 1 year is not too long in normal years but seems like forever in H years :panic: I am just too excited! I want a Kelly too but I would be happy with a B for my first bag as well

Hi all,
Didn't see it being mentioned here recently yet, but was wondering what are the possibility of getting a GP first time shopping at this store? I have bought some stuff here and there online and in vegas but never had an SA whom I worked with nor a homestore.

I inquired about a GP 30 last year in September and my regular SA has not been able to get me one. However, one time I walked in and mentioned to another SA super casually I had it on my wishlist and he was able to show me a GP30 Canvas (but in a color I did not like at allllll…) and a GP36 in leather straight away. I took the GP36 that day and no history with this SA whatsoever.

Take a chance and ask. Depends who you ask and on what day.

Hello, first time posting in this thread.. SCP is my local store and I have shopped here a few times since 2020 (jewelry, non-QB, shoes) but I still do not have a dedicated SA. I messaged the last SA I purchased from (jewelry) to see if I could start (or restart) the relationship to build towards QB but did not receive a response even after waiting for 2 weeks. I believe he's been there quite some time and he had given me his info on my first visit.
I ended up just doing a walk-in one Friday evening when it was not too crowded. The SA that I was paired up with is now the 3rd SA from the same store and I was there only for a few minutes (since it was a quick purchase in and out) so I'm not sure if it makes sense to start sticking with this SA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
