    ^hahaha, awesome. I can't remember who it was who originally posted "He object dyed for our sins," Nullsleep maybe? Either way, it feels fitting here.

    On another note, there's been discussion in the past about the possibility of expansion in face of meeting the demands of both stockists' and custom orders. I read somewhere that there are only 12 people or so on his staff and that would never change. Does anyone know if this is an accurate representation? If so, I'd be curious to know how much of the material engineering is, for lack of a better word, outsourced. Or if there is someone on Carol's staff who's expertise is in the handling and application of chemicals (hazardous and otherwise).

    Perhaps this topic has already been addressed at length, but I wasn't able to find a direct answer elsewhere as to whether or not the chemical treatments applied to some of his garments were done in house. I was under the assumption that there was some outsourcing for highly specialized pieces requiring specific attentions. However, the fragility of one garment in particular leads me to have doubts about this, as it could have been made much sturdier, but would have required registration for chemicals ccp probably would not have been able to order in limited quantity.

    ...whew, sorry if that's a little long for such a simple question...

        Has anyone had any experience with custom orders recently? Is Carol still offering them? Unfortunately, it's looking like I may need to go down that path for a fencing.

          ^ yeah, they still do.

          i suggest hold out for a couple of weeks as there will be new wave of ccp coming during these periods.. still waiting for atelier's pics.. and our australian stockist is going receive a new ccp leather fencing, was told it's a single zip, but quite different from the old ones.

              Yeah, would like to see the new ccp fencing as well. Atm, they have a denim version of the fencing, in size 48.

                  CCP "circle" bag at Atelier

                  Has anyone looked at this bag in person? What are your thoughts?

                    These bags are super heavy, which defeats the whole purpose of them being a bag.

                        I heard of a guy who got his leather jacket re-dyed by the CCPs. It took forever, but the work was well done.

                          Anyone seen Atelier's new arrivals yet? They still haven't put them up on their site. just wondered what they picked up and whether they were in store.
