I would go to the small boutique in Manchester first and see if I could hit it off with an SA at that boutique. My experience has been that small boutiques get plenty of stock so the relationship and liking the boutique would win over heading to a larger urban boutique.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Cravin. I think that sounds like sensible advice, although I'm not that close to Manchester it's more convenient than London. I have heard good things about the staff at the Manchester store on threads I've read as well which is nice. I can always compare with another London store next time I visit, especially as UK H staff don't work on commission it's probably less of a big deal only using 1 SA or store than in other countries.
 
DC is definitely a small boutique, especially when considering it is the only one in a large, densely populated area. It also has a lot of wealthy clientele and tourists. DC is my local store, and I am far from a VIP, but I was offered a quota bag in my dream combo there just this month! I spent 1:1 before getting my offer, but I received the exact bag I wanted, which also happens to be a highly requested bag. I love my SA and I never feel like I'm any less valued as a client than the people spending hundred of thousands per year!

Congratulations on your offer! Do you mind sharing which bag? :smile:

I've visited the DC store quite a few times since my very first purchase at the beginning of this year. Each time, my SA as well as anyone else working at the store during my appointments have been incredibly professional, polite, and great to chat with....and of course, I always purchase something (sometimes it's an item that wasn't initially on my list! :lol: ).

Like you, I haven't felt less valued; I always feel welcomed. There are some other newbies considering the DC location... maybe share your experience in the DC thread if you're comfortable? :smile:

ETA Even though it appears to be a smaller boutique- I honestly wouldn't know since it's the only store I've been to - my SA has been great at sourcing items for me from other locations.

Thank you! I got a B30 gold/GHW in Togo leather. My dream bag! I’m happy to share my experience... what should I search to find the DC thread? I haven’t found that yet!
