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.
The longer answer
Recent community material includes low-ratio relationship exceptions and roughly 2 to 2.80:1 first-person examples; 3 to 5.00:1 figures appear more often as competitive-market estimates than fully documented transactions.
What MyQuotaBag observed
Mini Kelly is repeatedly described as highly competitive and highly variable.
Small neutral B25/K25 configurations are frequently described as more difficult than larger or less-requested configurations.
Exceptions that are documented
- 3.00:1 to 4.00:1 with no offer or no desired offer is reported.
What Hermès officially says
No public Hermès numeric pre-spend threshold or formula was identified in the reviewed materials.

How this page was built
Every line above comes from a dated record in the MyQuotaBag research dataset and each record keeps a link down to the source it came from. Weak evidence is kept in the lower layers instead of being deleted and it is never moved up into a stronger claim without a source behind it.
