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.

A city gets its own page once MyQuotaBag holds a dedicated topic for it, or at least three first-person reports. Below that it stays listed here with its real count and the page appears on its own once the reports exist. We do not open a page and fill it with figures borrowed from the next city over.
What Hermès officially says
No public Hermès numeric pre-spend threshold or formula was identified in the reviewed materials.
