That is actually not the case, at least in my own experience. Nov-December are the peak holiday sales seasons. Last year, when I did my holiday shopping around thanksgiving, my store was well stocked with shoes, scarfs and home goods. And though competitive, I managed to get a quota bag.

I’m so envious. In early December, I do recall that Madison had plenty of first floor stock, but it was hard to find desired RTW in my size and I’m still waiting for home dept items that I ordered in 2021. When I was in Manila and Singapore in January, prior to Chinese New Year, stock was depleted everywhere. i was luck to get one short sleeved sweater at Liat that my SA assured me was the last one. I will also never forget seeing the women’s RTW section at Marina Bay Sands. . . with one bikini top hanging on one wall rack. :eek:It was bizarre; it would have been better to keep the rack empty IMO. I do think that there was fine jewelry, so it was theoretically possible to bump up prespend if one was inclined that way, but I haven’t yet found anything that I adore for the elevated price. . .

The Chinese new year was very early and close to Christmas last year, which might made things worse. Hope this year would be better as the CNY is in late Feb I believe

If you could just walk in the store and buy a Birkin for $10,000, how many people would still go and spend $8000 on a coat? Or $4500 for a “trash can”?? (Like I did lol!)

Curious if you actually use the trash can or is just there for display? Not being sarcastic but honestly scratching my head :smile:

Actually many people use it as a storage box or side table. There is 1 where the whole body is perforated, some people stick a St Louis “acorn lamp” inside and light will spill out of the “trash can”. Quite nice. But not unachievable with some DIY from ikea. No need to spend thousands of dollars.

But it will help ur pre spend and homeware is a delight to the profile.

Yep exactly as @smoothsailor said! I use it as a side table (and can store throws in there) and it also doubles as a great hiding spot for hide and seek! :lol: It’s actually a very functional piece!

I also have 2 of the Folia lamps and they are one of my favorite purchases from H. Again, very functional and beautiful.

My SA also offered me this pretty K25 the same visit I went to pick up those items last month so yes, I think homeware is helpful. I also buy a lot of RTW from him. Not sure what my prespend is at this location because it’s spread between my DH and myself, and I don’t talk about prespend with my SA, nor do I really keep track at this store. We have a great relationship so I know he’ll try to get me the allotted QB’s, so I don’t stress about it and I don’t have a wishlist with him. This bag was a surprise. (Although there is something specific I want now so I will tell him next time I see him.) He also offered me a C24 in mauve Sylvestre in December and I don’t know if my prespend reset after that or not. He texts me stuff he thinks I’ll like probably every week or every other week. I buy what I like and he either ships it to me, or holds it for when I visit. :flowers:

this is actually really quite functional and visually appealing for storing my toddler's toys out of the way when guests are over! *adds to wishlist* :lol:

Interesting. So a few days ago my SA offered me a non QB and I did buy it. But now I’m wondering if that’s gonna really hurt or delay my actual QB? I started my journey with this SA in January and this non QB wasn’t on my list but the color type was so he placed on hold for me to see.

Depends on what the non-QB was, your total spend so far, and your relationship with your SA.

Totally agree with @jbeans. So many factors at play (as it always is with H.) I have personal experience that I was dinged for a QB when my SA went to the store manager with a QB for me because I had recently purchased a non-quota bag. This was later confirmed by the store manager. I have a very healthy purchase history at this particular boutique. However, plenty of people have posted that a non-QB did not affect the timing of their QB so experiences seem to vary.

However, now that I've hit my quota for the year, I guess it'll be non-quota bags for me until 2024!

Hello,
I just wanted to share my experience for my first quota with Madison NY store. I shopped there since mid 2021, I wasn’t serious about a quota bag until October last year. I was told back then B25 for a first offer is harder and the store manager prefers to give B30 as a first quota bag but I waited for B25 and just got offered :smile:
My ratio was 2.7:1, 2 for fine jewelry and RTW and .7 on shoes/accessories. I was open to both sellier or togo and I requested a neutral color, again I wasn’t super specific as to what neutral though I said grey preferred but open and only ghw/rghw. I got offered a B25 nata sellier in GHW and took it. I used to ask here about prespend and just wanted to help my fellow H lovers. I have seen some spending more or less depending on the SA and of course the popularity of bag (color/ hardware and leather etc.)

Going to work on the next quota Kelly bag now and not sure what to expect in terms of pre spend as I have read 2nd offers are longer than the first ( will update the 2nd offer experience later )

Goodluck shopping everyone :heart:

Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience. I am somewhat in the same boat. My pre-spend is about 2:1 (online and instore purchases) but I have only been with my SA since late February. Recently we bonded when discussing our family with one another and immediately she offered me a mini roulis in croc and a mini roulis wallet in cassis. Doubt that would have happened if we didnt "connect". Looking fwd to seeing your 2nd QB.
