The boots were $1600 to less than $1800. The lace-ups were $1200ish. I hate to use this phrase, but the selection was "almost affordable" compared to other retailers. -
What were the styles Reborn? Faust had mentioned that Barneys on Madison carried Augusta last season but the styles were quite blah.Originally posted by reborn View Post
... also, is the Boston Barneys stocking Augusta now? That'd be pretty cool.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

barneys new york NY
They have definitely expanded their selection. Last season they had a couple of styles and only black (that I can recall).
On Saturday, i think there were 2 styles of zipup boot (ccp looking), at least 1 style of laceup (in black, muddy green and muddy red) and at least one style of lace-up shoe. If I could have whipped out the cam on my phone, I would have snapped a couple of pics discretely. However, there were a lot of people in the shoe department, probably trying to escape the weather.
PS: Atelier has posted a lot of updates to their website.Comment

Barneys Boston
No such luck. The last time I visited, they had received their Fall buys for RO and Thom Browne. They also had a decent selection from Ann and Raf (sorry to veer off Augusta as topic).Originally posted by Chinorlz View PostComment

First Post!
Hey Everyone,
I'm Josh from San Francisco. I'm looking for a pair of SS08 Augusta cordovan "wraparound" boots in black in an 8 or 9. A is out. I've found them in white and green but no luck on the black. Any leads are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does Barneys in SF carry Augusta? What about Archive?Originally posted by gt2-josh View PostFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

It could be financially motivated...the AUD lost about 20-25% to the euro in the last few weeks? And with Agustas hitting $1200-2200 USD, to fairly represent the collection, it may be cost prohibitive. However, Guidi and PH are not chump change collections. Perhaps they are just adjusting their buys?Originally posted by pipcleo View PostComment

Wrong currencies, sir :-) You have to look at AUD v. EUR. Pip, why do you think Augusta trumps Guidi?Originally posted by reborn View PostFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

color treatment of leathers
and a more varied selection of shoe styles makes augusta.
quality-wise not much in it although augusta does exude a (slightly) more hand crafted appealComment

Sorry for the delayed response. Hadn't checked this thread for awhile. And thanks for all the good suggestions. I don't believe there are any Augusta stockists in SF. I've checked Archive (love those guys), Barneys and all of the usual suspects. I got my wrap arounds from a private seller in Japan via Hide-san.
BTW, if anyone has any SF stockist questions I'd be happy to help!!
