How the ratio is calculated
Your included non-bag spend divided by your target bag price. A 1.0:1 ratio means you have spent the same amount as your bag. 2.0:1 means twice that amount.

The best approach is to be consistent. Choose your tracking rules and apply them the same way every time.
About the Hermès Purchase Ratio
Why bags and SLG are excluded
The ratio measures your non-bag purchase history. Counting bags themselves would be circular: the bag you bought already showed your commitment, so including it again inflates the number without adding new signal.
Common ranges in client conversations
Observations from public discussions, not official rules. This is known, public information. Read our full disclaimer.
- Below 1.0:1 — early tracking stage
- 1.0:1 to 1.5:1 — profile-building
- 1.5:1 to 2.5:1 — competitive boutiques
- Above 2.5:1 — very high demand or limited allocation
What the ratio does not measure
Your SA relationship, time in boutique, category breadth and consistency over months all shape your journey. The Insider Guide covers the broader context.
