Re: RO pricing

To be honest, I think it will be cheaper, for the European brands/designers that is. Look at a place like Lazzari for example; Hundreds and sometimes thousands less for items like CCP. RO in Paris is definitely a tad cheaper than buying here in the states, especially when you include the VAT you'll get back.

Hi, i have a small question about bags.. i'd like to buy some black, slouchy mens bag which you wear across your shoulders.. should be made of cloth/wool, not leather and have a quite "saggy" shape.. means no big zippers, pockets, etc,.

do you have any idea at which label i could find such a bag, holding in mind that i want to spend 500USD at maximum..

thank you!

Re: Raf by Raf Simons Denim

aruva, drexl got his math right. it will not be cheaper per se, but VAT will make it somewhat cheaper. Just do what I did, close your eyes, pinch your nose, and dive! [87]

Re: Raf by Raf Simons Denim

Is the stuff listed on Atelier's website still in stock? I think somewhere I read on here that they take down the out of stock stuff.

Can't be doing too much of that, considering they still list last seasons (presumably sold out) items.

Re: Raf by Raf Simons Denim

That was the goal of my question, hoping the older stuff might be in odd (larger) sizes. Wondering if anyone knew before I bothered them with an email.

It's all about the bigger selection and bolder buys though. You can't beat Paris or Antwerp in the regard. I tried looking for blazers at NYC YSL and they had like 1 in my size and their buy was somewhat boring, same goes for all european labels I think.

Re: Raf by Raf Simons Denim

true that, fuuma. of course the drawback is that europe also has more adventurous customers, so a lot of that stuff is sold out by now (which was the case with me in Antwerp)

I don't understand Japanese either but it seems like the seller is just stating that he isn't offer a BIN price. this is judging from the babel fish translation.

can anyone help with the alternate auction sites and 2nd hand stores?
