It depends where in the world you are. Some count non qb as part of your spend, others don’t. Ask your SAQuick question: Does non-quota bags count towards spending threshold for quota bags?like getting a Kelly Danse then later next year try for a Kelly 25?

hi Tina
in my opinion, your spending was nicely spread out through various categories for your B30. I am assuming you started your journey in 2020/2021? How is your current spending/categories towards your B25 2nd QB?
BH is a highly competitive store, a lot of big spenders, B25 inventory is low, highly sought out bag, many loyal customers that have been H clients for over 5 years I think are still waiting for a bag this year. It’s only march though so there is hope. Have had an honest conversation with your SA? Does she know your wish list ? 1:2+ spending for a B25 Has become the new norm even for clients that have been shopping with Hermes for over 5+ years.
have you gotten any offers since you hit 1:2? I think if your open to colors/options/sizes etc you may have better luck getting an offer sooner. Lots of variables….

Hey there! Yep! Been candid and patient with my SA. He offered me a B30 Etoupe Sellier with PHW last time I saw him. I turned it down to wait for a B25
And you’re correct! I started my journey in Jan 2021. Here’s my spending since my first B30 last year:
2021
Twilly - 180
Twilly - 180
Black Cardigan - 1825
Avalon blanket - 1550
Coat Cardigan - 3750
2022
Shawl for MIL - 1175
Marble scarf - 1175
Baby blanket - 660
Sandals - 700
Rose shirt - 1575
White button down - 1700
*Birkin 30 sellier offered*
Two twillies - 390
Doll twilly - 115
Espadrilles- 700
Baby horse stuffed animal - 380
Blanket - 3125
Your list is impressively distributed across the board,and so organized! Im impressed! How often do you bringing out discussion with your SA about bag for the first and the second so far? Thank you
I have been an Hermes fan for 8 years and have been with my SA for seven of them. I have never had a wishlist, and shop every season for new RTW for myself, my two daughters and gifts for my loved ones. My last 5 bags include a Kelly Doll, black Kelly sellier, and last week an adorable Nata sellier B25. I was completely shocked and surprised because my SA knows I love big bags, but that B25 was so cute and my daughter wants it. Anyway, if you are patient, the spend ratio goes down over time, but it does take time. However, there were times that I spent triple or more the cost of one Birkin at one visit. Yes, I felt a twinge of guilt at spending so much on luxury, but holy moly, it was so damn fun.If I’m looking to get a Kelly 28 sellier what’s the general spend ratio now?
TIA
Your SA offered you two very desirable beautiful bags for a relatively short journey. You must already have a great rapport and professional relationship with Hermes. Congratulations! Stay kind, patient and happy!
I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’d love a B25 and gave him a list of colors last year. Since then he’s offered me a couple B30s in that color range and C24s (my 1st QB being one of those B30s and I have no interested in the C bags ).
So happy for your daughter and the new nata!
so long as you love everything, no need to feel guilty
Hugs
forgot to add: I would rather not keep track of my spending vis a vis QB, nor do I have a wish list per se, but in general my spend post Covid is 2or 3 to 1 (I’m totally happy with that and trust my SA to let me know when something I like comes in)

My SA said that B25 are extremely hard to come by because they are so popular. My SA reserved the B25 for his clients and he is the manager of the small leather dept. on Rodeo Dr. You may have to wait awhile for a B25. Ask your SA for an honest assessment of your chances of getting one this year.
We are Filipinas! We have sisters, daughters and cousins who love, love, love our gently used Evelyn’s and Lindy’s when we are done. Yes, I love everything but have nowhere to wear my beautiful RTW because of COVID.So happy for your daughter and the new nata!

I will say that my spend on RTW, fine jewelry and blankets & home that are in stock definitely score much higher points, I think, than other leather items.
and everyone wants CSGMs, silks, and SLG
titas and Ninangs like orans and towels and jewelry plates
Plus nieces and best friends daughter (at least for the Evelyne s and charms and dresses) lol
mom grumbles about the old lady bags but borrowed them until I let her keep my black vache natural 30B and bought her a craie Togo 30B
p.s. I just wear my RTW every day, why not
. I have a hard time buying shoes bc Madison avenues shoe area is like a hot and dreary attic
If you get tired of the hot mess and dreary attic of Madison, please come down to MP and shop with me lol their shoes Dept is like my second home nowp.s. I just wear my RTW every day, why not
Yes for me is 1:3 but I mainly bought shoes n belt and non leatehr was 1:1. I bought stuff I love so far. Finally getting b30 and got Ktg in mauve sy pink.
Hoping I can get smaller bag next time but my place is very competitive as well sadly..
