For those of us enjoying cold, dark Moscow right now, I just came back from James and they have been having 20% off and starting today it's now bumped to 30% off if you buy 3 or more (which of course got me, damn). There is a respectable selection of Attachment and The Viridi-Anne for size 3s and 4s.

Hi.
Do they ask for invitation card like they did this summer before usual public sale started?
I think the difference in philosophy stands - calves are still killed for their meat, even if their leather is equally or even higher weighed in terms of bringing a farmer a profit. There is no reason to kill foxes besides their fur. It's wanton in essence, because there is no necessity in killing them, as opposed to killing calves (food). Ok, I now feel weird pointing out the subtlties of killing.

Well, it's not like we have to eat meat to survive. So it could be said that killing for meat or for fur isn't necessary. I'm not passing judgments of course, I personally eat meat and wear leather, and even sometimes do both things at the same time!

I do! :-) Meat is an essential part of our omnivore diet.

Privyet JJ.
They didn't ask me for anything.My friend was justspoke to theSA while I was trying things on and 2 minutes later he was telling me that the sale had gone into effect today. All I gave them was my credit card to buy 3 things and I got 30% off the listed price at the register. I wasn't even on the James mailing list when I made the purchase so you should be fine. Feel free to met me know if you run into any issues with the sale though.
Thanks, Faust, you're a really nice guy! And I won't mind them - you should hear some of my family.

What an opening! I deserve a delicious Godiva chocolate (that I'm now munching) for passing that one up...so are you guys all friends in "real" life or something?
I just checked my Yoox dreambox and some of the stuff in there had gone on sale since last time, so I think they're in the process of expanding their first-cut sale.
i guess most Toronto members know the news already, Holt Renfrew designer sales started yesterday, Lanvin, Rick Owens. Raf Simons.... all 50% off. Other shops like TNT, Noir have also started their sale.

All Raf 50% off? Anything good left in 48? Might have to look into phone orders / pickups but after shipping / customs / poor dollar it'll probably end up equivalent to just picking something up at Barneys at 40% which is what it starts at if I remember correctly.
