WOW!! That's absolutely insane pricing. Talk about coming up. Gotta visit Russia asap! What took you there? Vacation?

[andrewislasorad]

It was all a bit overwelming, and I must admit I think this is my first time posting in the CCP thread, so I am no expert. I will try to get in contact with Sasha again, see what I can do to get more info.

Yeah I would have to say it was more of an experience rather than a vacation. I flew Moscow for a few days, took a night train to St. Petersburg where I stayed for the rest of the time. Not sure if I will ever be back, but I'm glad I went.


[The seams on this suit are awesome..pull them apart to reveal whats underneath...it's like a magic show...]

Did you get the lined version? Where each panel is lined individually?

Do you have a picture of the back interior? No need to put yourself out to provide it. Just wondering. Thanks for the pic you already hooked up! I'm sure I'll get to see it when we meet up in Paris.

finally a reason to return

[kompressorkev]

seriously though...somehow the russian side of things, evidently abundant in downright affordable poell, has gone overlocked.

fixed

Just got back from Moscow, visited quite a few stores there, quite insane really. One in particular Podium had a Atelier-esque Menswear selection larger than Barneys. I walked in wearing a lot of Julius at the time and caught the [CCP/RO/Japan] buyer Sasha attention, who mistaked me for someone at Julius in Tokyo, long story short. Got a VIP treatment, was taken to a private back room, they had a huge CCP selection [with awesome pricing as well, many pieces and shoes on sale]. Was able to try on the 1 of 1 bright yellow leather jacket from SS08, quite beautiful but was already spoken for. Ended up snagging a glue seamed gitter suit at a nice price.

Was really amazed at the volume all these moscow stores carried, makes LA and NY seem like small potatoes. Apparently more than 50% of their CCP sales are all private custom orders. So much to say about Moscow, but this doesnt seem like the place...

that's amazing
