If you want to get a pair of Augusta and do not have at least one choice in mind isn't it clear that you're just buying for the brand name?
Good point.
Still, if a person wants Augusta, then you should buy Augusta. Besides if you are in the price point for those boots, you probably could afford just about any pair from any designer.

no, I don't think that's clear. it could also be that you are attracted to the general aesthetic of the line, but are not sure exactly which iteration thereof is your favorite. rip-off factor be damned, augusta does have a distinct family aesthetic this season, principally in terms of leather treatments and finish, but also in terms silhouette, fit, etc. they also offer a wide variety of variations on a theme, with far more options than any other SZ family footwear line.
personally, I'm not a big fan of the f/w 08 augusta aesthetic, but I respect how someone else could be. and, I think that if said person were going to get a pair of these shoes, the ones which RADO posted, being the straight up, no frills lace-up boots are the ones to get. this is why I said yes for him (even though they would be no for me)
EDIT: or maybe you thought my reply to RADO was an independent yes or no request?
I would go with the shirt.. I've never been that big of fan of the accordian bag, and if anything I would just wait to see if Chinorlz makes one, or follow the DIY and make one.

No way. Never. I'm sorry, but MA+ accordian bag? talk about a signature, museum-worthy piece. This is what everyone will be talking about years after Amadei retires. Get them while you can, because you will never see anything like them again. EVER.

It's a tough call between the two...
The leather shirts from last season from Amadei are REALLY nice. Really nice.
The accordion bags are the quintessential MA+ bag, at the same time they're way $$$ for what you get.
If $$ is no object, the accordion bag is the way to go.
