Question: I may be able to visit one of European cities in my trip soon, and am wondering if stores in Europe require "pre-spending" or "a relationship with SA." I am thinking of London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, or Zurich, and am particularly interested in B35 or K40. Does anyone know how it work in these cities? Thanks!
Most of these places work by wishlist for local clients. I’m sure a tourist making a huge splash purchase might also get lucky. Since you are looking for such unpopular large sizes, it’s probably worth your time to go in to each store and ask but I would brace for a low chance of success. (Do they even still make the K40? I’m guessing no stores order it/many…) Recommend you checkout each place’s individual thread for more specifics.
 
Many boutiques in the EU (excluding Paris) have a wishlist system in place for quota bags. Your chances of walking out with one while visiting will be very unlikely. (London specifically only goes off wishlist but I’m sure as with anything H, if you were to walk in and drop $100k exceptions could be made)
Thank you! Do you know how likely it is for Paris then?
 
Forgive if this has been asked before, but are shoes considered like RTW as far as spending history is concerned? Where do menswear or MTM figure into this?
Shoes are not RTW. Basically the harder an item is to sell, the better it is for you to buy it. Shoes are one of the easiest categories to sell. Menswear and MTM are hard…
 
I believe on the iPad it’s a two year total (maybe I’m misremembering and it’s three years?) The longer entire history can be pulled up on the computers in the back by the SM if necessary.
I think it’s a lifetime spend number? I saw mine last October by accident and literally felt sick, lol. She and I were looking for an old order on her iPad to see what size I had ordered and saw it and asked what that total was, I wish I never asked. Oh gosh hoping that wasn’t just a three year number!

Interesting! I would love to know :biggrin:
I accidentally saw it on my SA phone as well. On the top of the screen (iPhone in my case), the left side will have my name, and the right side will have a total number XXX,XXX.XX.
My SA was searching for an item from other store for me so we both looked to see how many were available in the US. After seeing how much I spent, I didn't feel like buying the item anymore :biggrin:

That’s exactly where it was! It’s almost like the first thing they see when they pull up your profile.
