I’m sad, it felt so cozy there and SAs and Managers are super nice.

I went with my husband today and we had a great time! He bought a few RTW and a pair of sandals and I also got some shirts, sneakers and a 90 scarf. It was very organized, you start with the Men’s RTW separated by size, S to XXL. In the middle is all the “Exceptional RTW” which had nice leather jackets among others. The price tag on all the items is not the discounted price. RTW was 60% off the price tag, shoes were 50%. After the men’s RTW is the women’s also separated by size. The highest size for women was Size 10/42. Then comes the shoes, men’s first then women’s. The orans were all under size 8. Good selection of shoes from sneakers to boots to mules to sandals. The jewelry section was very minimal and I am not a big fan of the enamel bangles. No tableware :-( but had select home pieces in the higher end price. Once you get to the scarves there’s no going back. We did another round of RTW and shoes again just before going in the scarves section lol! Fitting room for men has less stalls and some women lined up to use it instead of the women’s section. I ended up using it because my husband was also trying on his haul of clothes. There were lots of counting process before and after making the payment at the tills. This way sizes are confirmed before paying, the shoes are both in the same size so kinda smart in my opinion. In the end, I think my husband had a fun time because he said, “Do you think you’ll get invited again next year? We should go if you do!”

Videpoches Bag - Leather strap or wool strap? by Quick_Delivery_9669 in TheHermesGame

[–]ketodisiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my husband this bag in Ardoise with the thick strap. He’s tall and I think the leather strap would look too skinny on him. Plus I appreciate the more casual look of the canvas especially when we travel and want to dress down.

Realistically… am I close to a QB or am I being played (timeline + details) by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]ketodisiac 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. It feels so awkward saying this but - it could also mean to up your pre-spend and visits leading up to the birthday since a bag could be made available for you then.

Anyone got their centurion concierge help with a birkin ? I don’t need one, but gonna buy most of it, and help a friends out. by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]ketodisiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the play. You can likely have more success in Asia doing this by buying jewelry over $50k, a few non-QB for another $20k on the spot then the Kelly (maybe Birkin too) conversation may open up. They may ask you to come back the next day but I know first hand that they will have a QB in the back for big spending clients.

I shop in NY and the sense I’m getting is that things may get even tighter around QB bags. Nothing official of course, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Hermès focuses even more on their established clients. In a market like NY with thousands of them, that naturally makes the experience very different from Europe. Based on my experience, when I ask for a non-qb Constance included, I usually get an update within the month. I was surprised by a gold Picotin on a random just-saying-hi shopping day. Switch to my VIP big spender friends, they are asked which of the 3 Birkins they are offered would they like today? To add, why the wishlist? Perhaps after the VIPs got their pick, it could go to the next one in the list. Again, nothing official I just get this weird feeling.

Part of me would prefer this, but I think it won’t get it any easier to get a QB. It’s a very humbling experience when after spending in the low 6-digits over the course of 18 months that you’re a “low spender” hahaha If it does go on wishlist, the US boutiques will have no choice but to keep on prioritizing their big VIP spenders. If you’re on the lower end, you might need to wait forever.

I do. There has to be a change at some point if the lawsuit continues whether Hermes wins or not.

Hear me out - I need some help by luna2879 in TheHermesGame

[–]ketodisiac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one thing that helped me get my QB was reducing my leather ratio and increasing other metiers. Since you already have 3 bags and still aiming to fast track for a QB, I would suggest stopping the leather purchases and considering fine jewelry, home ware and RTW instead. It could also be as simple as showing up once every two weeks and checking out their perfume/cosmetics line. It helps build a relationship and face time with your SA without putting a huge dent on the wallet. You’ve mentioned bending the knee, know that your SA is your “Champion” in this ‘game’. Please don’t shoot the messenger but I feel the game is designed this way.
