Is It Wrong to Shop With 2 Hermès SA's In Two Different Locations Where I Live Part Time?

Dear PurseBop:

Question …. I’ve been loyal to my SA who is wonderful and I love but I’m heading to Florida soon and a new store is opening in Naples, Florida. Is it wrong to have a SA in each place u live?

Dear Shopper in Two Locations:

It is not “wrong” to shop in two different Hermès boutiques in two locations if your budget allows. However, there are several things to be aware of:

Each boutique can view what you purchase at each location in the same country so be honest with your SA that you live in two locations and enjoy shopping when you are at both places;
Depending on your budget, the amount you spend at one boutique will not benefit your SA at your other boutique and this may affect when and if you get offered a quota bag (if that is your goal);
It is best to be honest with both SA’s and discuss how best to proceed in each location;
The goal when shopping at Hermès is to shop with only one SA in one location to maximize the benefit of your spending with your SA which gives them incentive to offer you a quota bag. However, different locations have different inventory which is beneficial. But they also have different rules on what is considered a quota bag, how often you may be offered a quota bag, what they consider loyalty to the brand and to the SA, and your overall relationship with your SA.
You could explore the possibility of shopping under a spouse’s or other family member’s account although they must be present for all purchases and usually must pay with a credit card in their name.

The more honest and up front you are with your SA in each location the better results you are likely to experience.
