WTF

[Chinorlz]

^ And don't forget the furry monster babies! After all these years, still wish I had one.

mmm yes they were awesome!

Oh and of course one cannot forget the goat's eye (well... eyelash) cock rings sold at his Paris flagship as well.

I have a little mink critter that I continue to have to hide from the dogs.

I'm surprised the hullabaloo over these jackets...his shops usually have a few pieces in the women's line made from crocodile that are in the 5-figure price range, and there are furs galore in the hun/palais royale line that rarely drop below that price range. Some of the animals I've had to look up when I read the tag (pecan?)

[Shucks]

Is there any particular reason those RO alligator jackets were made in France rather than Italy or Moldova like his other leather jackets?

atelier sewn? (in which case my basic mark-up calculation may not apply...)

I don't get why the people behind Berghain even let her. Money probably, but still.

/\ I think he is referring to the less exotic offerings that my comment referred to. In this case, it is true. Leather is only 10-20% of the monetary value of an animal such as a cow. It's simply not worth killing a cow for leather.

It's even less than 10%, but depends on the market to which you're selling.

Most of the cost associated is with treatment.

Because she is an icon in the gay community, of course the money helps.

Please don't use the word "lubricates" in this thread.

This must just be a mis-matched photo, right? It's a M.A+ belt, I assume?

100% wtf.

Yea, they are blatant fakes and I can't believe Antonioli would carry something as shitty as that. Theres also a direct knock off of a Werkstatt Munchen belt and I'm sure most of the less classic designs are copies.

^Ah.. I understand there are no such things as originality in art/design but where do dignity lies this day? This re-occuring spin off is giving me heartache..

Just so I'm clear, the WTF is about ripping off CCP? Or do I have that wrong?
