I just won that off the ebay for my GF. Is this a fake piece? Got it so cheap 220 euros. It also says retail was 590 Euros. Isnt that extremely little for ann D Wool lined jacket? Please let me know what you guys think.

nambla, it's definitely real--you can tell from the label and the construction. Somebody even posted it here in good finds.

nice work!

Good. Weird it says size 38 on the tag ( at least it seems to do so ) and she wrote it was a 36. Hope this will fit her haha. Also hope the seller will sell it now that the auction is over. I wouldnt sell at that price

The sizes are french, so a 38 is really a 42. I am not sure how these fit, small or large, or what. Regardless, it's a gorgeous piece - congratulations, nambla! Your girlfriend is a lucky girl.

P.S. The runway picture in the listing reminded me how gorgeous that collection was!

Re: Your recent purchases



nambla, in the listing she writes it's a Belgian 38 and a German 36....hence the confusion.

If your gf wears Italian 40 or 42 it should fit fine...

Re: Your recent purchases



Thank you both.

This makes me kind of worried. Im not too sure what size she is italian size and I don't dare to ask. She is very petite that's for sure. I think she wears 36 / 34 here in Sweden. I have no idea of size convertions from different eu countries, could you enlighten me? i could always sow it in myself, but that would be a real crime.

It might be too big. Basically, French sizes are two sizes bigger than the Italian sizes (and I think it's the Italian sizes that are largely standard for the rest of Europe). So, for example, FR36 = IT40, FR38 = IT42, and so on. I think Ann is the only Belgian designer who uses French sizes. Maybe you can ask the seller for some actual measurements and tell him to hold off shipping it?

Re: Your recent purchases



That's gorgeous sea of stitches!!! It's from S/S 02, yes? Where are you finding all these wonderful Chalayan pieces?

I think a strappy flat sandal would look great with it.

I know! Chalayan is in the air....must be the website launch. :-)

Heels might be nice actually, maybe I will try them with my dress.....
