haha.

grailed could use some help in writing, that was like a high school yearbook interview [

I've lost the narrative of indignation and am no longer sure if grailed is still satan incarnate or now supposed to be catering to us fancymen.

I thought the style fit the content platform well enough, but the content's not aimed at me. I'm very happy being "older and understanding" per their editors

[Guun]

Very true, their writing is quite mediocre. Then again, their target audience is mostly like high school kids buying Rick and supreme with their parents money so I guess it fits.

They actually contacted my friend and are paying him to write editorials for them haha

Sounds about right - if you want a fair price but stuff will sit longer, SZ, if you want a lowball offer from some kid who doesn't know how to write but knows BBS, Grailed. I have no problem with that - it's all about what you want. I know they also got butthurt because of my article, so I wouldn't be surprised if this has been slightly edited. ;-)

Another question - I am looking at an item at a store that advertises on FarFetch. On the store page the item is cheaper than on FarFetch. Will FarFetch pricematch? Or do they jack up the price and then lure a customer with a 20% sale that no longer means anything?

I've wondered the same thing. I generally go to the boutiques website if they have one. Sometimes farfetch's price doesn't update when the particular boutique may be having a sale on it. In that case I think it's a matter of timing. I figured the price difference in general was a commission farfetch would take, a finders fee of sorts.

Grailed outsourcing a lot of their writing leads to super varied quality I find. Most of it isn't good by any stretch, but there's been a few articles that were informative and (generally) well-written, regardless of subject matter.

Clearly the content is created to move product on their site, but it's interesting to me that they've gone this route to do so.

The good ones are probably written by Jian DeLeon, who is a quality journalist.

I got my answer from FarFetch's customer service. Basically, they said that the stores set the price on FarFetch themselves. So, basically when FarFetch will run a sale, they can temporarily jack up prices, which will invalidate the sale, but the sale notice will still attract customers. Pretty lame.

I still had a few times when Farfetch runs a sale and the price listed on FF is still significantly lower than the price listed on the store's website. These were in the case of Patron of the New.

Greetings all, anybody can comment on Marsell sizing? I'm thinking about getting a pair of back zip loafers. I'm usually size 44/44.5 depending on the brand. Never had a pair of Marsell's and can't try them on as I wanna order online. How do they run?

They tend to run a size large from my experience. Are you able to contact the store? If so, an outsole measurement of 32-33cm should indicate the correct size. I'm a 44 as well and with few exceptions, my boots measure in the range quoted above.

Thanks, I'll check with them!

I've found this to be the case with A.F. Vandevorst as well. It's almost always a few hundred $ cheaper on Farfetch than their own site.

Yes, I own two pairs of Marsell shoes and both run one size large.

[Anton]

Quite strange, I contacted the seller and he said that the shoes(size 44) are Outsole: 12.5" which is almost 32 centimetres...Yet both Blackfedora and Stalker saying they run a size large...
Here is the listing by the way: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-845-Mars...3D131866087470

^ I'd simply contact the seller and ask about the sizing.
