MyQuotaBag is an independent app and is not affiliated with Hermès International or any of its affiliates. This page summarizes public reports from collectors and publishers. It is not verified fact and states no Hermès rule. Each boutique and country works differently and practices change. These are general observations shared without commitment. We do not claim that pre-spend exists or that any amount is required. Collectors describe bags going to established clients who buy over time, come back and build a relationship with their boutique. No outcome, offer or allocation is predicted or guaranteed.
Where this data comes from
The research on this page is built from publicly available collector reports, community discussions and other public sources reviewed by MyQuotaBag. It does not come from private MyQuotaBag user data.
Information saved inside the MyQuotaBag app remains separate from this public research dataset.
Questions we have data on
New to the vocabulary? The Collector Guide answers the questions collectors ask about Hermès bags in plain words, with the status of each answer.
What Purchase Ratio do collectors report before a first Birkin or Kelly?
Recent public collector reports reviewed by MyQuotaBag often fall around 1.00:1 to 2.50:1, but lower and higher outcomes exist.
Is a Mini Kelly harder to be offered than other quota bags?
Mini Kelly appears more competitive and more variable than many larger configurations.
Does the second quota bag get easier?
Established clients sometimes receive later offers with much lower incremental spend, but quota bag 2 is not automatically easier.
What do collectors report in Canada?
Toronto and Vancouver are repeatedly described as competitive; Montreal remains too thinly documented for a precise benchmark.
How long do collectors wait before a quota bag offer?
Waiting time varies enormously, from immediate/travel exceptions to well over a year.
Which purchase categories do collectors mention most often?
Ready-to-Wear, fine jewelry, watches and home are the categories collectors mention most often; no formula has been verified.
Does online spend count toward a quota bag?
Online spend is mixed: collectors disagree on whether it is treated like an in-boutique purchase.
Is the Constance a quota bag?
Constance treatment varies in the public record and should not be stated as universally quota or non-quota.
What Purchase Ratio is reported in Montreal?
MyQuotaBag does not yet have enough Montreal-specific first-person data for a precise benchmark.
What Purchase Ratio do collectors report for each Birkin and Kelly model?
The median Purchase Ratio at an offer by bag model, from the offer reports filed one by one.
What are the documented Hermès bag prices by model and market?
Dated retail prices by model and market, each with its source; disagreements shown side by side.
By region
Every region we track appears here, including the ones where nobody has reported yet. A region with no data says so instead of borrowing a figure from somewhere else.
What we do not know yet
A question with no data gets no answer here. What we cannot answer yet: Montreal figures, per-model benchmarks, reports outside North America and boutique-level detail.
For machines
Same knowledge, machine-readable, no separate editorial version.
