Where the research comes from

Public collector discussions, press coverage and published price data. Published articles and videos are listed below with their link. Collector discussions are counted by platform.
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.

Public collector discussions. Read on Reddit (r/TheHermesGame and related communities), PurseForum, YouTube and collector blogs. Observations are paraphrased and counted. No usernames, personal details or individual purchase histories are published. A collector who shares an experience in public is not asking to be cited by name, so a thread is linked only in a brief or a guide, where it supports a specific point.

Quality A is authoritative, D is a weak signal kept for context. A weak source is never the reason a number moves up a layer.
