What is podium submissions? I was just thinking maybe bags to offer for the next weeks or months
Oh it’s when they go to Paris and order stock for the store (including bags) for the upcoming months.
Yes, I assume this is all just gathering info on what kind of bags the clientele of the store wants so that the SM knows approximately what to order at upcoming Podium. (Not that the items are ordered directly for individual clients, but the SAs will go back to the SM and say "neutral colors and mini Kellys are still in demand. A few people are asking for pinks and there is lots of demand for the new mini herbag." and then the SM will go from there.)
Apologies if there is a thread that addresses this; I have about a 4.5:1 spend ratio since my last QB in 2024, and I’ve actually no desire to get another BKC anytime soon. What happens if i just decline all QB offers indefinitely?
For the foreseeable future, I just really want non-QBs non-BKC, specifically those that might be considered highly competitive but not so much as a QB, so I can have them in more than just one color each.
And I have a steady non-leather purchase pattern going with my SA; I do drop into the store pretty often bc I want to maintain my relationship with the store, and I do end up finding items that I really like and have been wanting for a while.
Just don’t know what happens if I just let the pre-spend grow for more than 1-2 years. I’m in the US if that helps.

Nothing “happens”. After two years spend will fall off the account in a rolling fashion. If you don’t want a QB then just don’t get one. Tell your SA that you are more interested in X and Y bag instead. It’s not a big deal.
I’m sure it will be a great relief for your SA.
Well, not if OP wants Kelly Pochettes and Mini Lindy’s instead.
You must be your SA’s top fav client. It probably would help you get any bags you want in the future.
Fair. I missed that part! LolWell, not if OP wants Kelly Pochettes and Mini Lindy’s instead.
Does anyone how much prespend would be for a mini Kelly picnic? Thanks!
AFAIK that is a blue box item so it's more about the relationship rather than the pre-spend
Agreed, but the prespend will also have to be significant (over six figures since last bag acquisition).
Agree with this. I am assuming there are no extenuating circumstances like super high net worth and/or high visibility VVIP* or very long standing, regularly high spend. A friend who is one of the top clients of a local H (high spending for 10+ years) accepted a mini K picnic a few years ago. She may have been offered bc she has almost everything else
I average 5X between accepted bag offers bc I love RTW and am not actively bag hunting. I haven’t accepted a bag offer from my local store since early 2024, and my SA commented this week that I’m well due (bc I’m in my second year). I normally get more than two bag offers a year (between local and FSH SAs). I don’t have a wish list, but they will tell me if they have access to a bag they think that I will adore.
BUT, if I wanted a mini picnic, I assume that i would have to spend significantly more and wait probably until sometime next year. That particular bag may not be as sought after as a faubourg, but it’s one of the most popular. While I consider myself a solid regular client, I only started shopping again around 2021, so I am not long tenured. And, I am not a VIP, nor do I spend like one. My store is one of two competitive US Maisons, and my Maison has many shoppers like me. A VIP at my Maison might be one that buys multiple pieces of furniture including chandeliers for several homes (my former SA had clients like this, and I never even knew H sold chandeliers lol). And, apparently, as per another SA, the largest RTW client in the Americas shops at my store. Clients like that should get first dibs. The decision is also not in the hands of your SA. It’s the leather manager and SM who will make the determination.
ETA: *as in Hermes corporate might really love to see a bag on the arm of a woman in a spaceship in space
If not for the notoriety, then for the visibility that could drive up the stock prices 😂

Off to get my spaceship ticket. I am sure it will sell out now that you let everyone in on the secret. @880 - we talked about this! I fly first with my bag and only then you can let the others know.Agree with this.
