I agree but the reality is, there’s a booming resale market where some of these bags command a 100% markup. I think some people take home bags they’re not sure about and then resell them for profit. A few people have asked me why I didn’t do that with this Kelly. But I knew this bag wasn’t meant to come home with me.

People decline offers more than KZread makes us think. I declined offers and will continue to do so. Also, many of us do not want many quota bags, we prefer to wait for the ones we really really love. To me it’s not crazy and I’m not even surprised by the pre spending. The more I shop at Hermès, the more I understand how they just like having customers that appreciate the brand . They probably size the ones that hate everything but the Kelly’s and the Birkins. 😉

thank you for this forthcoming info! so many people are elusive about it and like to tell others that their friend's sisters' cousin's daughter's dog "walked in and got offered a Birkin. it depends on how you connect with your SA" meanwhile they have strange items in their collection that suggest a pre-spend 🧐 then there are the people who say, "you know, you have to buy something to get ANY bag. dont go in thirsty for bags with no purchase history!" as if all bags are pre-spend, when they are not... the SA of a flagship store that was very good to me, was very direct and said what you said, offers are based on inventory and timing. I've been to smaller stores where the vibe is totally different and they dont want to tell you anything about the bags if you inquire. ive heard rumors it's because you're "competing for bags" with wealthy communities in the Bay Area or Socal, so the prospect of connecting with an SA seems hopeless. if you dont know about facts like how they get less inventory, it just feels like they dont like you and you'll never be in the club. I think those smaller stores are key in keeping the brand seeming exclusive, because it was a totally different welcoming experience in the flagship store, where we were invited to interact with all kinds of merchandise out of our own curiosity and not just because they expected us to buy it. the smaller stores were like "what do you want? we dont have it. what else? well I'm going to have to see. k bye" so curt =\ and I even wore my Hermes bag and a couple accessories to the last smaller store who treated me like that.

I'm sorry. =( is the store a smaller boutique? I wasnt even asked to be put on a wait list when I went to a smaller store and tried to "connect with an SA." the SA was not interested, they told me the world has "a leather shortage and it's been that way since the beginning of the pandemic and we get occasional bags and they sell out quickly" with no further path to get a bag. but when I went to a flagship store the SA was like "we have them in these colors want to see?" and I was like is this a dream? she said as a flagship their inventory is better and I got there with perfect timing. If you have an SA and that much purchase history, you should be able to call and ask for inventory.. I'm told other people have SAs that will get stuff ordered from other stores for them. with the money you spend they can at least try that route if you are open to various colors. allegedly the neutral colors are super popular bc everyone wants black and brown bags, but if you're open to many colors, maybe they will work with you? I really hope you get yours. have your tried shopping the online bag drop? I think it's worth it to get the bag for retail price and Ive heard the bags dont count toward pre-spend anyway, so might as well get what you want online. best of luck, I know how hard it is to connect with an SA, they just seem like they dont care in some stores. =\

I do have a watch (cape cod), a few scarfs, a lovely enamel bracelet (red with elephants - love love it and have worn it for years).

I'm not a kelly gal so it would be a no for me anyway. The colour is lovely but I've never seen you with anything remotely like that and I think it would not have been the best choice for you.

Absolutely! The color belongs to someone else. 😊

I agree, not your color, i bet cassie thorpe will rock it though 😅😊❤

You were right to decline, you’ll be rewarded with the perfect bag for you in the future.

The only luxury brand I’ll never buy is Hermes. Their practice is just absurd to me. It’s just a bag & they make it such a stressful process. Yes they’re pretty & good quality but still, imo so dumb for someone to beg to spend $$$.

That’s interesting that you say Hermes is the only luxury brand you’ll never buy. With all their price increases recently, Chanel Classic flap bags are now more expensive than Hermes Birkins and Kellys!

@@hellocatwalkcity To me it's not so much about the price but more of their practice. Making people purchase other stuff they don't necessarily want in order to get their dream bag is just odd. Idk about other people but I work hard for my $$$ and I can't believe I have to beg for them to let me spend it there. Just odd & no matter how good the quality & how pretty the bag is I could never justify being duped to that. And yes I agree Chanel price is ridiculous at this point....but at least they will sell it to anyone who has the $$$ & willing to spend it. I'm just not willing to spend that much for a bag.

⁠@@elcute7933First of all, I completely misread your first comment! 🙈 I read it as “their PRICE is absurd” rather than “their PRACTICE is absurd.” Thanks for clarifying!! Yes indeed, the practices do seem to turn a lot of people away and that’s understandable. Unfortunately many have also been saying that Chanel is now limiting their classic bags to those VIP clients who spend in other categories first. Chanel SAs also do not receive commission on their Classic bags. Just as Hermes SAs do not receive commission on their quota bags. So this encourages SAs to try to make sales in other areas. As I’m sure you already know, Chanel started limiting the number of bags you can buy (max 2 classics per year I believe) at least in the US. So some are saying they are doing the same thing as Hermes except their bags are not handmade by one artisan as H bags are and the quality is questionable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I actually really like Chanel aesthetics (my fave) and have been a longtime fan but there’s always so much noise/drama around the brand. 😅

I live in NY, do you mind if you message me your SA’s name?

Too bright hahaha almost obnoxious. No one does colors better than H but this is a bit loud. I’m a neutral girl also, u made the right choice

#mirbags offers a wide range of luxurious handbags that are both stylish and functional. I was impressed by the level of detail and care that went into creating my bag.

That color is uh no… if $$ grew on trees fine

You have many bracelets, a ring scarfs, shawls, table ware and gifts foe family and things for your husband??? Kelly pocket belt???But your spend is so low? Doesn’t add up....

I’ve spent just under 18K for 4 quota bags,3 from my local store and 1 fromParis. Plus 2 Evelyns which don’t count. Just do the math and be honest when sharing info.

Yes, as I mentioned, when I bought my Birkin, my spend was a bit below the 1:1 ratio. I’ve talked about this before and shared all the detailed history in previous videos. From what I understand, then the prespend technically resets for the next quota bag offer. Between my Birkin and Kelly purchases, I didn’t buy much. It was about $5000 or so, so not close to the 1:1 ratio so many talk about. Those who watch my channel regularly will know because I unboxed almost everything to show my viewers. And after my Kelly 28 purchase, I spent about $2200 before getting this recent offer of the Kelly 25. I track everything. I have no reason not to be honest. Your comment is very strange. Your turn to do the math now and take a step back.

PS, not all of the Hermes items that I own were purchased by me so they don’t fall within my purchase history. For example, one of the bracelets was a gift, some were online purchases (which allegedly doesn’t count but I don’t know for sure). Anyway, a polite question would have gone a long way and I would’ve gladly answered. Excessive question marks and an accusation of dishonesty … so unnecessary and ridiculous.
