Hi.. Anyone has gotten any offers from Houston store recently? Wanted to guage the bag stock for holiday season. Hoping for some miracle.

TIA
Me and you both. I just reached out to my SA to update my "Wish List," which is really only one bag at this time, a B30 gold. I asked for Barenia, which he said was definitely doable but would take longer. It would be easier to get Togo, which I told him I'd still take. But I haven't had a quota bag offer in over a year. I was offered a roulis (?), that I passed on. They haven't gotten any Constance bags (at least the last time I checked). My friend got a medium black picotin. I think they have some non quota bags.

2 b30s, 3 gps and a constance 24-1 since July. I declined all since I’m wanting a very specific combo on b30 and gp36 and not interested in the c24, only c18. I haven’t gotten an offer this month. Im hoping for one tho!

Keeping fingers crossed for all of us. If you don't mind, what was your pre-spend? I would like to see if I need to up my game or if its realistic for me to expect something with my existing pre-spend.

Honestly I’ve lost track. If I had to guess I’d say 2:1 for Gris neive b30 and about 2.5:1 for the nata (phw, I only want ghw). I’m not a high spender and haven’t bought any jewelry. The bulk of my spend is in RTW and tablewares.

I don’t think spend has a lot to do with it UNLESS you want a mini k, b or k 25. My SA made it very clear that minis and 25s are hard to get unless you’ve been shopping there long or spend a lot. I know they say most SAs don’t use terms like quota and spend but mine does :lol: She’s a straight shooter like me which I prefer.

I’m also guessing palladium hardware is more popular there? I told my sa the only black bag I’d want would be with rghw and she said the last rghw she saw at the store was my constance from last year :amazed:

The lack of movement on this thread, social media presence (or lack there of) in comparison to others, to me, is pretty telling for offers.
 
Anybody mind to share a good SA in Houston who can help a first timer to start the journey to get a QB bag? TIA!
You really can go in the store and talk to either one. Try to walk around (preferably Mon-wed) to get a feel for the store and the SAs to see if you click with one before you jump in a start shopping. They’re mostly standing at the front door.
