Where can I find the full Luster collection by Dior Homme? It's AW2003. Selected pieces in some blogs are not enough and Seasonal collections here have not helped either..

I'm after some Poell Derbies and came across these 'damaged' ones pictured below. I've handled regular 'non-damaged/scarred' derbies but nothing like these. As I'm new to the ccp game I need some advice. Should I be concerned about the longevity and durability of this shoe? The right shoe is ok but the left is missing a whole layer of leather. I like the look and realize its intentional but am I asking for trouble in terms of long-term wear? Any help is greatly appreciated.

These came from the Library in London, are Cordovan, numbered 1 of 1 and the guys asking $1200.

i know it's ccp and it's something to be coveted but dont drop $1200 for something you have reservations about. i know the price is relative when it comes to luxury items but i wouldnt spend that much on something "Damaged" be it ccp or whatever other designer people throw wads of cash at.

Yea had they been the straight up regular derbies I would have bought them by now but something keeps holding me back on these.

Derbies regularly sell for that price or less in the classifieds here. The pair you linked looks to be substantially damaged, and priced above an intact pair. I can't imagine why you would consider that. Though, if you want, you can mail me a thousand dollars, and I can waste it for you... I will promise to do nothing worthwhile with it.

I'll send it right over - what's your paypal?

I've looked online and can't really find a good answer for this, so here goes. Does anyone have any tips for getting rind of the "animal" smell from a pony hair/ horse hair jacket? Whenever its worn, I smell like a stable...

Cold kills bacterial smells. If you're somewhere cold, hang it outside.

Edit. I see you're in LA, so scratch that. Do you have a meat locker handy? :-/

You can always throw it in the freezer, but watch out for freezer burn.

Thanks Dane! Thankfully, I live in LA, where we will have a record low of 76 today, so I'll just hang it out on the porch. But seriously, thanks. I'll just have to clear out the freezer.

If you've got those vacuum storage bags, they will keep you from needing to worry about freezer burn. Vacuum seal the jacket, freeze for a bit, probably still smell like a stable.

You're not going to get it cold enough to kill the bacteria.
