First Bottega bag

First Bottega bag

What is the gold card for? Do you love this bag as an everyday bag? I am currently so far into the Hermes game that it's actually affecting my mental health so I'm trying other bags that I feel are as nice and pretty as the Birkin/Kelly. Being able to order this online without prespend or dealing with a sales associate was sooo nice. Ordered directly from Bottega site.

These are my ladies.

(Pic 2) This is Jill. B30 in Bleu Tie, Togo leather w/ Permabrass hardware. Just got a new bag charm so changing out the bow later. Got her in Nashville in April. $14,900. Prespend 1.78:1. (Pic 3) This is my lady Amy. K28 Sellier Touch in Deep Blue, Veau Madame leather. Touch is Bleu Baltique in Crocodile. GHW. Got her in Montreal two weeks ago. CA $28,500. They do things differently and I dont think it's about prespend but I did drop some cash that day on a necklace with other purchases and I have a great relationship with SA. (Pic 4) Little Suzie. Lindy 26 in Gold, Clemence leather, GHW. She's my everyday workhorse. Love her and am true believer in inserts! I also have a crossbody strap from Etsy that I use when I travel. $10,800. Nashville. (Pic 4) Brianna. You know why we call her Brianna, right? 🤣 My aunt bought her off Tiktok shop for me and I've had more people ask me about her!! Think she was less than 20 bucks. Hope this helps if anyone is curious about pricing. I have learned so much from this group 💙

Question about private events

I really need advice. For context, I just started buying from Hermes in Feb. I got a B30 with a 1.7:1 and with an upcoming purchase I will be at 2:1 for a Kelly 28. I genuinely like a lot of their products. I was invited to an event (April) but only after I had told my SA I was going to be out of country during on that date. No big deal. Last week, I texted SA about an item I've been waiting on and SA responds at end of day that it's at store and I'm invited to another event the very next day. Following day (day of event/before store opened), I texted asking about time. Response I got midday was that it was already over but I could come in and shop if I wanted. This response might just be my last bit of patience I have with this SA. My question is what is the process of these events; do you have to meet a certain $, is it just the discretion of SA, how much prior notice do they give you? There's more to my frustration but I don't want to be too specific in case SA reads this subreddit.
