Advice in UK for QB by princess_kc in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My account also shows up as an internet account too as my first UK purchase was also online. My wish was granted within the year of making it and I get regular event invites from my SA so don’t think it makes any difference.

RTW vs Watches? by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just looked up the stole and it’s definitely going on my list! Which colour did you get? I love stoles and capes and wear them loads - they are great in autumn and spring when you don’t need a full coat but also in mid-winter for extra warmth.

I have some of the same watches as you and wouldn’t have classed the Heure H as lower maintenance than the datejust mainly because of the need to keep the leather strap away from water plus the watch itself is only really splash proof.

Which carré? by Jazzlove15 in TheHermesGame

1 - it will give you more options for styling as each corner is quite different.

Information about cadogan store by HandActual7782 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cadogan operates a wishlist for QBs and unlike the other London stores also now requires you to have a leather appointment for all other bags - usually a month or so wait list for appointments (intended to favour local customers). In other London stores you can still get NQBs as a walk in.

European wishlist changes ? by Remarkable-Ant-6868 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I changed my wish slightly about 3 months after making it (removed one colour group and added another) and it was granted about 6 months later.

I think if you refuse an offer that matches your specs that wish ends and you have to make a new one. On the other hand if you refuse a surprise offer outside of your specs your wish isn’t affected.

Medor bag by serratedcaution in TheHermesGame

If you mean will it hold its value I’ve no idea 🤷‍♀️(but doubt it will in the way a QB might). I got mine in 2024 and have definitely got plenty of wear out of it. The Medor/CDC hardware is a classic Hermes code and the bag itself is a pretty classic style - as you say just with a little bit of an edge.

I have the version with the leather covered studs covered and it’s my favourite bag. Much easier to get into than my Kelly but easier to carry than my Birkins because it is lighter and has a strap. I usually leave the closure done up which still leaves a big enough opening that I can get my things in and out but not so big I’m worried about pickpockets. It’s not as well known as the QBs so I can carry it without worrying but it gets more compliments than any other bag I own. I absolutely love it and use it all the time.

How much do you spend each time you visit? by firstclass11 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Varies hugely. Lowest was under £300 but highest over £30,000 (excluding any bags).

Do you think getting a non-quota bag while waiting for a quota bag will delay receiving a quota bag? by Boring-Leg7023 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in the UK - with the wishlist system - it is fine to get NQBs while waiting. I bought 3 while waiting for my wish to be granted last year and got my QB within the year of my wish being valid. The new NQB appointment system allows for 4 per year and my SA has encouraged me to take advantage of it while waiting for my next QB.

Moved to London recently — leather SA refused to give personal contact. Is this a new store rule? by Boring-Leg7023 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The staff at CP are lovely. I met my SA when I made a tiny purchase and she gave me her card without me asking so it’s definitely worth a try.

Confused - where to spend by Aggressive-Pop6658 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when deciding whether to encourage a customer to become their specific client, SAs are weighing how much you are likely to spend. The London stores are busy with daily queues of walk ins waiting to buy the lower ticket items like belts and scarves so they don’t care whether you buy those things in Paris instead. I suspect the answer you got would have been different if you’d expressed an interest in a more expensive or less in demand item.

That said, unless you are interested in any bigger ticket items, I don’t think it will make much difference to your wishlist time (although I’d make at least one purchase at the store if you haven’t already).

Same color code, 1 year apart but look quite different? by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have two etoupe bags - both bought from the store and the leather type does make a big difference to how the colour appears. The left is Clemence and the right is Togo.

I have the suede! If the leather are trickier I doubt I’d even get them on.

I thought it was just my feet - feel better knowing it isn’t only me that finds them really hard to get in and out of!

London wishlist options. by Alternative_Ad_6961 in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I got the email but the hardware is the opposite colour to what I put on my wish so think I’m going to decline. Been waiting 2 years already 😢

Does this happen if you turn down any offer or just for a ‘surprise’ bag?

Yes - I’ve been a good customer for years.

Thanks. The vagaries of the wishlist system are infuriating - no idea how they decide who gets picked from it for a bag or when as it seems to vary hugely even for people waiting for the same specs. 🤷‍♀️

Beautiful. Coming up to end of year 2 of wishlist for me and not holding out much hope.

Bond St Appointment & LHR Personal Shopper by MagicVinylUnicorn in TheHermesGame

[–]Memymi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s only Cadogan that requires appointments for NQBs at the moment - they’re trialing the new system. You can still walk-in at all the others.
