If that means you’re going to spend a lot more in the store 😉. It will definitely keep you on top of mind. But maybe not so positively 🤣

Different stores have their own policies regarding offering (QB) to customers. Usually, stores prefer to space out their offers. A good time period between offers could be between 6-8 months. However, if you make large purchases such as ready-to-wear (RTW) or items from Maison, the waiting period may be shortened. It ultimately depends on the specific store policy and your purchasing behavior. Also, consider that the type of bag or leather you're looking for can play a significant factor in your offers. For instance, requesting a MK is not equivalent to requesting a regular B or K, so it's essential to keep this in mind while waiting for your next offer.Besides prespend, is there a time limit on when the next qb could be offered? I got my first one at the end of July, and put in my wishlist for my second. Spent quite a bit already since then, but wondering when I would next be “eligible” bc i just got one not too long ago~ it’s so hard being patient
My SA mentioned to expect it next summer but that’s so far away and my spend is already … a lot… thanks to a lot of the fj that was on my list and my store happened to have!
Yes! It’s kind of simple. Don’t be an a-hole, spend lots of money across all categories for several years, offers will come. I don’t know how they know, but they know if you are in it for one bag, or for a lifestyle. If you spend a lot but you are unpleasant, you will not be too of mind for a bag. While it appears this forum has nice H customers, I have seem some nasty customers at H (and they seem to have a relationship with store).
Depending on your spend, I would think you would get your 2nd quota bag by years end since you only received one this year?!Besides prespend, is there a time limit on when the next qb could be offered?

I know it is never exact but the bag needs to either be ordered or located. If you are eligible, you will get your 2nd bag. In my experience, I get bags but I do have to ask. For others they just “appear”, that has not be the case for me. That being said, I’ve never been turned down. Each store/client experience is so unique.
The "ordered or located" comment is interesting. My SA invited me to a private event and said she will be trying to get me my first QB for the event. She asked for the specs I wanted and said "perfectly doable" after I provided them. The amount of certainty she had about my QB was surprising as I always envisioned getting a random text asking me to come to the store. But now I know the date and the specs I will likely be receiving a bag (fingers crossed, no bag in hand yet so I am only cautiously optimistic!). I was wondering how she could be so certain as I assumed stores got random shipments of QBs and couldn't control what exactly they got at any given time. Sounds like this isn't always the case though and stores have more control than I think?
SAs can sometimes see what is coming to the store in the next shipment. Also, if youre asking for something the store frequently gets, then she could assume the chances are high you’ll get it soon.
That makes sense! The event date is in three weeks so I was surprised something matching my exact specs would be coming in within such a short time frame, but I asked for a K25, gold or noir with GHW so nothing super crazy. Wonder if I would've been told no if I asked for a mini Kelly or something, hah.
Oo I hope you get your dream specs! I asked for a gold b25 (open to hw) and assumed my SA said next summer bc of how popular/desired that combo is. But this was before I made another (fairly) large purchase bc they unexpectedly had something I wanted in stock (sometimes I wish there wasn’t stock so I could space out my purchases haha). So hoping I won’t have to wait that long but who knows !
Fwiw I got a black ghw k25 and it wasn’t even on my wishlist of colors but I accepted anyways, so maybe it is a litto easier to achieve?
I am in the same boat and have a similar question. I got mine >6 months ago, so wondering if I am "eligible" yet.Besides prespend, is there a time limit on when the next qb could be offered?

Yes that is interesting to me too. I didn't know/think stores could actually order/"pull" QBs---I thought they only get what is "pushed" to them from Paris; or what was previously ordered at Podium?
I received my first QB about 4.5 months since starting shopping at H this year. There's not much time left until the end of the year and I doubt I would be offered another QB before 2024 but who knows! Haven't updated my wishlist yet but I might go in and do some other shopping before the end of year. I would be happy if I am offered a Miny Lindy lol... Or the elusive Calvi Duo in a color I want.
Yes, the numbers the store pulls in as well as the store’s manager control the bags. And yes, the store can absolutely locate bags as well as place orders for clients and their store when they visit Paris. Stores order in advance and can also locate. The SA’s don’t decide who gets what. But of course, it’s not spoken because it does come down to relationship with the brand and even more importantly…spend. Boiled down, it’s all about money. It’s a business, a “relationship” business.
I know this may sound harsh, of course there are always exceptions to the rule, but as someone who runs a company, all relationships matter. And so does making money. It’s the truth.

Just curious, but why does anyone really care what the time lapse is between QB offers? Are you worried about price hikes? I can only speak to the secret of how those who I know get QB and desirable bags every time they visit. Have empathy. Be that client who brings a smile and not an eye roll. Oh, and spending $10k an hour that you are there does not hurt. Less if you are fabulous.

Based on my personal experience, it is advisable not to request a second (QB) from your SA, especially if you are still considered a new customer. It is important to avoid overthinking the two QB per year rule and instead focus on enjoying your H trip. Giving your SA some time before asking for another QB can help them feel less pressured to meet your expectations and may result in better offers for you. Your good relationship with them can also help you reach a higher level of offers that your spending alone might not entitle you to.
For what I have come to understand you can spend 10k in less time. 🤣 Won’t hurt either. Only your bankaccount will feel it.
On a more serious note. I don’t get the ‘worries’ about the expired time between two QB either. You can only wear as many bags at a time. If you have a good understanding/relationship with your SA just ask the question. Everyone has other experiences. I don’t think there is one answer that fits for what an acceptable time between two QB offers would be. Too many factors to weigh in. My advise: Don’t overthink it. Be relax, it will cost you less $ and will give you much more joy.
