To be honest, we're going to NY in November and then to SF for four days in January... so I'm not sure if I can make another trip. However, we spend a month in Paris every summer. In any case, I'll be in Paris in July; I hope I'm not too late. Lool. :girlsigh:
Here are the bags I got this summer:

  • Rouge H Picotin 18 - GHW
  • Etoupe Constance Elan, Epsom leather - GHW.
 
Happy travels sounds great ..you may even try your luck at ny / SF?

I'm positive in July you'll get your qb wish what colour you wishing for ,?

Ps great bags btw they sound fantastic but it makes me wary that non qb hindered you getting a qb .. I understand then if you didn't get the nqb you be offered a qb sooner ?? 🤔

That's actually exactly my question. The SA I talk to is very close to my relative, and I have no doubts about her honesty.

The SA who sold me the Constance Elan told me that this purchase wouldn't affect my right to buy a QB. I guess I made a mistake in trusting him. But on the other hand, getting an offer for the Constance Elan with such a small purchase was nice.

In general, I have two bags left on my list. A Kelly 25 Sellier in a color from the emerald green group with GHW. I think there are four shades. (⁠malachite, vert jade, vert verone, vert moyen)

After that, if it's still in production, I’d like an Epsom Kelly Pochette in black with GHW.
 
I love love your choice as that's my colour group I want lol with the same ghw lol a k or b mk , 25 28 30 any leather. I hope we both get our wishes soon ..but I think a pattern with another tpfer with nqb affecting qb is building ..
The constance elan and picotin are a beauty though .. chefs kiss to those nqb 😻

After a long break, I did my first shopping this summer at FSH, where I bought a belt and a bandana. On the same day, I was offered a Picotin 18 at Sévres.

That week, I bought five dessert plates from Sévres, and since they didn't have one in stock, it was ordered, but no payment was taken. Later, I also bought a tea cup. As far as I remember, I didn't buy anything else. That week at FSH, I was also offered a Constance Elan.

Both bags were presented to me as walk-ins.

This week, I was in Paris. First, I picked up my ordered plate from Sévres. After that, I tried to get an lottery appointment every day, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. The day before my last day, I bought a belt, a T-shirt, a cashmere scarf, and a cashmere jacket at FSH. The SA mentioned that she asked to permission from SM but just because I had bought two bags this summer, I wouldn't be able to be offered another bag, but they hinted that there might be something for me after December.

The next day, I walked into Sévres just to try things on. I managed to get an appointment. The leather desk first reviewed my profile. I only asked for a Kelly, but the SA who took over my appointment didn’t even look at my profile and simply said they didn’t have any.

I'm happy to have gained experience.

I still have a silk blouse and a wool cardigan on my list.

If I talk about after Constance Elan, I spent €7,125 on my travels this fall. My goal is a Kelly 25 Sellier. I think on my next trip, my spending after Constance will be 1:1. I hope to receive an offer.
In a Kelly Sellier, the current green offers in non exotic leathers are Bambou, Vert Comics, Menthe, Vert Vertigo, Vert Peppermint, Vert Yucca and Vert Moyen I believe.
Malachite is a RTW color only I think.
I hope that you get your dream green bag soon!

Just my 2cents while reading about this… sometimes rules change at Hermes very quickly and they don’t give any heads up… the sa might have given you information that was correct at that point but it changed later
Anyway, you got 2 very beautiful bags and l like your attitude towards the whole issue
 
Shopinlovet.. thanks for the info .

Do online purchases made in Paris and collected in store count towards prespend ?

I saw online on h.fr a constance slim so I purchased it and will collect from sevres ..

Thanks
So I agree with @880 that the concept of prespend isn’t something that applies in Paris because it’s the mothership of all Hermes. As in the rules of prespend don’t usually apply because people have been offered bags with barely any purchase history.
From what I gathered throughout reading these forums, prespend is more common in USA and Asian countries. I saw in UK they have a wishlist system where you give the exact bag you want (size, color, leather) and if the bag comes in then you get the magically call. But they only do that for their citizens. So for Paris I think you getting something online is more of an opportunity to show your interest in the brand and it gives you an opportunity to go in the store and ask for any leather appt cancellations.

Hello, wondering if I can get your advice on prespend for a Birkin and if this is common or if I should try to find a new SA.

I’ve been shopping at the Beverly Hills boutique for about 4 years now buying items I enjoy - scarves, rose gold bracelets, necklace, shoes, belts, wallets, a watch and probably spent about 20k a year. I’ve only been offered one K25 and picotin after my first year of shopping there (which was in 2021). I haven’t had any offers since, although he keeps on mentioning I’m next to get the bag on my list every time I visit (about once every 3-4 months). I know this is a competitive store, but is this out of the norm for prespend?

Thank you!

So you are at 60k prespend over approximately 3 years? Are you asking for a very specific combination or rare bag? This prespend is sadly probably in line with norms since it’s over three years but I’m surprised they haven’t offered you *something* as a gesture of good will. You might want to try visiting more often, even if you still spend the same amount (ie $1k every month rather than $6k once every six months). Being in person and available to purchase on the spot often works in one’s favor as a known client.

might need to go in more often till you get the bag. I think the spend is fine but youre not around often enough when the bag drops and I don't think your sa is going to remember you need a bag until you go in. Like @acrowcounted 1k everymonth is better than 6k every 6 months esp since you already reached your spend
