A1923 / Adiciannoveventitre (Augusta)

[gavagai]

/\ I hope you are joking here. This interview has been dissected and disproved already. Luigi has been gone for a while, by the way.

Not trying to start a raging war but this is totally inaccurate.

Just because someones says so doesn't make it so. Do we agree on this? Inaccuracies? Language barriers? Maybe, but "disproved" is patently false unless our notions of evidence/confirmation have sunk to a new low.

I'm sure he has some help making the shoes. That being said, most of the rest of the interview seems tame and uncontroversial.

whatever the case, my two pairs of augusta are the best made shoes I own aside from bass and lobb

[zamb]

there is no question the shoes are well made,

and I cannot speak for all the shoes, but I had a pair of derbies the other day I sold to David.S, that I wanna buy back from him if he ever decided to sell them

is augusta producing for ccp ?
or is some other company producing for ccp and augusta....
im confused

[michael_kard]

Yes, the producer of the sneaker is Nike. Augusta and CCP just remove the swoosh and attach their respectable logos.

Kard, likely clicked the wrong thread in a haste to post something that day. Don't sweat it...

[michael_kard]

Oh yeah? So you don't see any resemblance.

bought a pair of augusta boot 2nd hand and the metal tippings on the lace broke, as it so often happens does, where should I look for replacements?

anyone?

[Faust]

go back to the store you bought it at.

FW12 is sick. boots. clothing. leathers. bags.

indeed!

Haven't seen the FW2012 stuff.

Rarely have I been diappointed or thought WTF but some of the Spring12 stuff looks a bit off.

The red low wedge boot H. Lorenzo and The Archive has looks bizarre to me. Checked these out at The Archive. Ick.

The pointed tow trainer? I haven't seen these in person so maybe they are better than what I'm seeing at Atelier?

Leather coats look insane as do a few of the reversed culatta boots.

[eton97]

Saw the pointed leather trainer and those red wedge boots IRL and I do agree, IMO not his best stuff, but the leather jacket on the archive looks stunning.
Looks like a seriously heavy piece of horse leather (although I'm sure I read sonewhere that it was kangaroo)

[edhohoho]

A1923 leather jacket

Can anyone confirm the type of leather used in that jacket on the Archive website? The styling looks much more sleek and the cut much slimmer than the A1923 horse leather jacket I saw for sale recently.
