The B and K are of such high demand now that Hermes is trying to sell as much non-bag items as possible before they offer the B or K. So I will not be surprised that nowadays you will need to have spent at least that kind of money before getting a B. To become a VIP, you will probably have to spend much more than that, show a pattern of regular purchases of non-bag items at the shop, and to look like someone that fits their brand profile.
The "rules of Hermes" have changed alot over the years, due to its increasing popularity.
但現在冇wait list ...就難好多. 不敢去水貨店 or online reseller, 一係就要去Japan or Europe 碰運氣, 一係在HK同SA打關係, 買好多D其他嘢 ... 上次去上海先知原來那店是H全球第四大分店 (according to the SA). Wait list for B and K still opens. 不過有稅, 要俾多20% ...:;pppp:
