Yes, of course. I paid SGD10,600 (approx USD7,700).
They won't take SO for this anymore? Why?

no idea...heard from a friend, but maybe it was just an issue of it not being approved. If you have any photos I would love to see, grey mop with yg pendant is my dream combo

Yes if you order through NM the standard policy is paid up front and in full. If you're a loyal customer though they may let you do a 50% deposit (what I did).
My SA in NM has a list price book including many "make to order" pieces ( no approval required), of course the prices for those are higher than ready available pieces.I have to pay in full up front waiting for at least 6 months and the sale is final no matter how it turns out
WOW! Only seven weeks later and the piece arrived. I picked it up today, just in time to surprise her for something new to wear to the school holiday concert on Friday.
Sorry; no pics yet! It looks great. Totally dress upable or downable.

Update- I had previously asked on this thread about how payment works for special orders. Most had said that it would be 30% down when placing the order and the balance due when picking up the piece. If ordered at a Neiman Marcus store, payment up front in full upon placing the order. I went to the VCA boutique that I go to yesterday and was told I would have to pay up front because the piece would be specially made for me so I would need to pay it fully. I didn’t order it this time because I was also struggling with paying extra for the SO but if was only required to pay 30% now and the rest later, I felt like it wouldn’t feel like I paid extra because when I pick it up, I’m paying the price of a regular item (having paid the deposit amount of 30% already which is also the mark up for the SO). Has anyone had a different experience recently? Or is it maybe because I’m not a long time client? I had 3 items and bought a 4th yesterday so I’m pretty new to VCA. Hope my post makes sense, I’m babbling on and on so early in the morning ☕️ Thank you in advance for any input!
My boutique told me I had to pay in full upfront for an SO. I think the policy varies by boutique.
I usually pay 50% in advance on my special orders through the boutique. I haven’t done one through NM yet.
