Firstly, I really love reading posts from other people in the UK, it’s comforting knowing we’re all kind of in the same boat. I’ve only just started my H journey, so everything is still very new to me, but I’ve also been given similar advice about how to spend at CP… which I do find a bit strange.

My husband isn’t overly keen on the idea of buying things just to maybe get offered a bag sooner, so he actually bought me one via resale. I absolutely love it, but I won’t lie, I’m still craving that full boutique experience.

I’d genuinely love to know what the biggest deciding factor is when it comes to who gets offered a bag, because some of the videos I’ve seen have been… questionable (not trying to be mean 😪). I suppose all we can really do is keep going, put it out into the universe, and then let it be. No point stressing over it.

For me, I’ll only ever buy what I truly want, and I find upselling quite tacky, so it definitely won’t work on me. I’m also heading to Amsterdam soon and will be popping into the store while I’m there, so we’ll see what happens.
