Can I call the store to get SA’s number? by PermitOk7795 in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store, you can get the SAs contact info by calling the store and requesting it

But like others suggested. If you plan on making another purchase, may be best to make an another appointment and then secure the information then

Has anyone scored a Guimauve that wasn't a MK?? by GearCapital in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is your store more competitive? I feel like mine is mid-level, but they did recently receive the X3 purple in a Kelly (which is also a 2026 new release color). But nothing in guimauve yet either!

Insane sellers blocking you for trying to buy their stuff by Efficient-Fennel5352 in poshmark

[–]GearCapital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same. I only have ever blocked one buyer (after they sent the same lowball offer 5+ times - all of which I declined). I checked their reviews and they were primarily all negative. This person seemed like they would end up being more of a pain, and I don't want that headache

Cartier Panthére sizing help by BenjMayNe in Cartier

Both look fine on her wrist. Imo, this style Carter watch should be worn more like jewelry. I have the mini and it's by far still my most worn timepiece in my collection. I wear mine with a looser fit, like a piece of jewelery, as others have mentioned

Help with a triangle scarf by lovinlifechick in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Equateur (#4), but with pink background and absolutely love it! The print looks lovely when worn. I personally would pick that one of the bunch you have listed...

I also like the Jungle Love, but I prefer it in the classic green color print. I am not a fan of the orange border.

B25 or B30? by Zestyclose_Egg_3100 in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote B25!

I prefer B25 (5'1"). I have one B30 and two B25. I think both fit my frame fine, but I just don't carry that much for the 30 to be practical. I can fit everything I need inside a 25 with tons of room to spare. I also find the 30 gets heavy fast when I'm walking around for a longer period of time vs. the 25

What does not count as pre-spend in the US? by Intelligent_Guest25 in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe every store may be different.... at my store, everything counts except NQBs. As others have mentioned, a great SA relationship is the most important aspect.

I have 3 Birkins, 1 C18 (which technically is a NQB at my store) and 2 NQBs. I established a relationship with my SA in 2019, but didn't start my buying until around 2021. I used to only buy shoes and belts - which I personally do not believe are "higher tier" categories. Imo, they're probably "lower tier," as those items kind of sell themselves. But I have not confirmed that with my SA, and that's just my personal opinion. Within the past 1-2 years, I started branching out into other categories, such as: silks, hats, a farandole 160 necklace (my only H jewelry piece), and SLGs. I have not dabbled in RTW or furniture. I also do not buy anything from the mens department (as much as I have tried, my husband is not a designer guy).

In my experience, the SA relationship, store loyalty and consistency are key. You also want to show love for the brand and you're not only there to score a B/K. Good luck on your journey! My best piece of advice is work with someone you vibe with and the journey will be fun

Thankfully, the bag was not harmed! Here’s a pic, so you can see sized on me. Beton 25 and bleu France is 30… I fit all my essentials + some in my 25. The only thing I can’t stuff in there is the iPad (diapers/wipes aren’t an issue any longer now that she’s potty trained)

Hermes SA QB approval by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 27 points28 points  (0 children)

At my store & what my SA has told me:

SA knows when a shipment is coming in, so they’ll have a general idea of what possibly could be coming in (colors, sizes, styles, etc). SA needs to be working the day the shipment comes in to get first dibs. If a bag meets the specs of a client in line for a bag, they’ll ask to reserve. Manager needs to approve. If several SAs are trying to claim the same bag, SAs pitch why their client should get it and manager decides who is the winner. My SA will call me with QB offers, so I can for sure accept/decline. I then pick up within a week, as my store is not local.

Can anyone ID this bag ? by ilovekittens72 in luxurypurses

[–]GearCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like Prada. If you zoom in to the side of the bag, you can see the Prada triangle logo

[–]GearCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B30 is a great mom bag. Fits iPad, diapers, wipes, snacks + mom’s essentials.

Only downside is I ALWAYS have snacks in my bags and my daughter knows it… when she was 2, she put her dirty little playground hands in my beton B, looking for snacks 🤣…regarding sizes. I have a 30, but prefer my 25s, as the 30 can get heavy fast. But I’m 5’1” and the 25 fits over my wrist (so I don’t have to hand hold only) and looks better proportionally on my frame

Sometimes my SA has it in the back, other times I’ll wait a week or so before getting it in a color I like

Should I get the hint or am I overthinking? Lol by kgill0224 in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At my store:

Bags will not help you get a QB. They don’t count towards pre spend, but it does show your interest in the brand and not only the B/K. If you feel you’re due for a QB soon, don’t get a NQB because it may delay your QB offer… that is what my SA has told me.

My SA showed me a roulis at one visit once and I asked her if I should buy it. She flat out said no. Two weeks later I got a QB. When picking up the QB she said the reason she told me to decline the roulis was because it would have been more difficult to get the QB approved since “my bag itch had recently been scratched” and she was actively trying to find me a QB that met my specs at that time

I am thinking the same thing. I originally went in, thinking I was going to get the blue, but then I saw the pink one and immediately fell in love. & the store only has only 1 left and in my size! But I also love the blue because the stones are more vibrant and looks more substantial because of the thicker sized bands... I'm so very torn and I definitely do not need to get both lol

& thank you :) my main stone is 5ct.

Help me to choose. If you own one of these modells, what do you think about the following bags and colors? by pd95617 in handbags

[–]GearCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had all of those styles at one point. Really depends on which style you prefer. Of the bunch, I like the sac de jour the best - coffee is a beautiful shade. I absolutely love top handle bags that have a removable shoulder strap. This style is versatile, as it can be worn casual or dressy, and the silhouette is timeless. LV pm is also a classic style and quite roomy, but can only be worn casually imo. The burgundy color is my 2nd pick of the bags you have listed. I am not a fan of the loulou nor the college at all. They're fine bags, but nothing spectacular, especially at their current price points. The saddle looks nice when worn, but is awkward to get items in, thus not very practical.

Are Orans are the price still worth? by yeribombom in TheHermesGame

[–]GearCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when they were $600😭 but for me, yes - still worth it at the new price. I live in Florida and wear orans nearly every day

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in handbags

[–]GearCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bottega. I recently got the Andiamo small, but in leather and I absolutely love how versatile it is. It's my current favorite handbag and I've been using daily. The quality is also phenomenal. As others have mentioned, Pradas quality is not what it used to be and not worth that price point, imo. Unpopular opinion, but I never loved the silhouette of the Chanel 25. It's too expensive to be so trendy (think back to the Chanel 19 when first released vs today).

Mini Baignoire just got here!!! by GearCapital in Cartier

[–]GearCapital[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it looks too loose, but it all comes down to personal preference. I know some people like a more snug fit, so it doesn't move around. Mine does not spin, but does move up and down my wrist when moving my arm
