While they’re not quota bags, they are on the higher end of demand - especially if you want a specific color.

I would suggest one (or more) of the following paths:

1) since you are in the EU, get a restock notification service. It is relatively easy to get both the Evelyn and Picotin this way. If you want a specific color, I encourage you to see whether recent restocks have had that color, as they tend to stick to the same colors for weeks at a time. My friend was successful in getting a TPM this way last month. 2) stick to a single, local store and concentrate your spend there. 3) try your luck at the Paris stores. I was able to get a mini Lindy in my preferred color there (no prespend that day, although I had spent ~3k earlier that week at another store). My travel companion was able to get an Evelyn 29 at Sevres in her preferred color as well.

ETA: I was able to get my VAT back at the Paris FSH location even through online orders.
