    Luisa Via Roma buying group



    Wondering maybe my other post did not get enough attention.



    Luisa via Roma will start a 50% off sale on Monday, June 4th. I would like to start a buying group for the US residents. We did it once at tFS, and it was a success - we were able to split the 50EURO shipping cost between 4 people.



    How it will work.



    You tell me what you want



    I buy everything



    You either PayPal me the money (cost + shipping to you + 2% PayPal fee) or if you are in/around NYC we can meet and you can give me cash.



    I ship or hand the goodies over to you.



    We win!



    US residents will save 20% VAT, but will have to pay 10% customs. Some items will still come out significantly cheaper than buying in the US.



    I am willing to do it even if one more person signs up.

    Sounds like a good deal! One question though; When sending you the money, should we take out just 10% before hand (for VAT)?

      No, the math won't work out exactly. Better take off VAT first (20%) and then add 10% back. US shipping is cheap, so it won't be much more for non-New Yorker.

          Last call! I'm placing an order first thing tomorrow morning. So far one more person is in - that already splits the shipping in half.

            I thought if the order was over 1k shipping was free. Count me in, I have some items.

              I'm sorry, I already placed the order as the things will go very fast. I asked people to PM me with the exact items/sizes.

                What did you pick up Faust? [:P]




                The LVR sale is how all sales should be. 50% off is solid. A store here in Berlin that carries interesting brands started their sale today and it's a measly 20-30% off! Ridiculous!

                  Got a pair of these babies by Officine Creative. Saw them at Barneys and fell in love. The sole alone is a work of art.

                    Lovely Faust. From what people have posted on Officine, the sole is indeed really quite something with the metal rivets and plates!

                      Thank you. Yes, I'll post the sole pictures when I get them.

                          I hear they run true to size. If you are willing to wait, they were supposed to be shipped out today and FedEx is quick - I can try them on when I get them. They also have them in Barneys, about $150 more (on sale).
