God I didn't know ML went for crazy high prices on the resale market. I mean I knew they were popular but really?! When I asked my SA they said that I was "on the list" but who knows what that actually means with respect to a ML offer anytime soon haha.

Oof. That's rough buddy. Have you gotten other QB offers?I have been on the list for 3 years but still ”no no” yet
Sounds like ML are harder to acquire than getting QB
According to my SA, ML is for vip customer who spends a lot. I am not there yet so just keep waitingSounds like ML are harder to acquire than getting QB
From my side of the world, SA will offer u a ML after you get your QB.According to my SA, ML is for vip customer who spends a lot. I am not there yet so just keep waiting
I tried to ask my SA after the offer but she said no. Maybe stocks are low this season.
It is at my store - they say it's as hard to get as a B/K if not harder... my friend's SA told her she's better off getting a B/KSounds like ML are harder to acquire than getting QB
That’s what happened to me. Finally got a ML from SA 8 months after I got my kelly…
That was true for me too! I asked for a ML last year and didn't really follow up as I don't like to be pushy and I actually ended up getting a Kelly first, haha. Then five months after, she offered me a ML.
SA asked me if there's any other bag I'm interested in FSH aside form the K25 , I cant think of anything so I asked for ML but I said I want in neutral color, they only have in ostrich leather, so I passed. but didn't ask what any other color they have.
It seems like I got really lucky with my ML.
TLDR: I was offered a K25 and a ML both in black and ghw but took the ML because I didn’t need to spend anything else to take it home.
I went into Hermes with the intent of buying a belt, something small to remember my trip by from one of three countries I was traveling to.
My husband started asking the SA about how difficult it would be to get a K25 and the SA just straight up asked me what color and hardware I was looking for. I asked for neutrals with ghw, he said they had a black with ghw, but I would have to spend 1:1. This was immediately after paying for 2 huge weddings so I regretfully declined😭
I never imagined being able to choose the color, leather, and hardware on a QB at a boutique I have never been to before (I was not at the Paris location either)
I was checking out for the belt and asked about the ML. I haven’t seen one in person and was curious about the size. The SA again, asked me what colors I was looking for, then he said follow me. He took me to their back room, pulled out the bag, and said I can take it without spending anything else.
I was shocked because of the stories I’ve heard about how difficult it is to get a ML, even more difficult than a QB now! Of course I took the offer! It was a great start to our honeymoon.
I’ve been eyeing the ML for a while as my first Hermes bag purchase but from the resale market, never would I imagine getting offered one at a boutique. She fits the perfect amount of stuff and is soooo light to carry! I’m in awe of my experience and of this bag.

Is this in Asia? With the explicit mention of prespend?
This was in South Korea. Idk if it’s worth mentioning, but I’ve only purchased 2 pairs of Orans online and $300 worth of lip products as gifts prior to this as well. So I’m basically a very new client.
