A very nice XS Ann Demeulemeester jacket. A bit expensive, though.

WTF? It cost less at retail, and that was a year ago.

Re: Good finds



Today I spotted some pieces of Nicolo Ceschi Berrini on Yoox. Prices in euro's seem to be quite reasonable, but because I am not familiar with this brand, I would like to ask if anybody here knows more about thislabel (quality of fabrics, construction, and price level?)

All of the pieces look really nice, but before I am going to purchase some of these items I firstly would like to receive some - hopefully - positive sounds from one of you experts.

Thank you in advance!

Re: Good finds

I rather like Nicolo Ceschi Berrini - for me kind of a poor man's CCP - wanted to pick up a distressed grey blazer at A about a year ago, but nothing even close to my size (my girlfriend ended up getting the small - looks great on her and even fits well in the shoulders - it was cut very narrow). In shirts and jackets I'm a large in Rick Owens, a 5 in Carpe, and a 54 in CCP, but have not been able to get into even the largest Berrini. Pants seem to fit a bit truer. The cut and tailoring is nice, fabric and construction quality is pretty good - I'm thinking something like Dries here, and the price points are very reasonable - jackets are less than 1k, trousers less than 500 - if you can get the sizing to work for you (I wouldn't buy any of his stuff without trying it on) I think it's a pretty good deal.

Re: Good finds



Een, thank you very much for providing this detailed information. I am glad to know that Berrini's jackets are fitting relatively small: I am a size 48 when it comes to Dior Homme and YSL Rive Gauche, so probably I should then order a size 50 from Yoox. So when jackets are under 1k, then 300 euro's for a blazer is quite a good deal:)

Thank you for your kind response!

Re: Good finds

I agree with een, it's rather nice - nothing to go crazy for, but fine. BTW, I've seen his stuff on Yoox in the past for dirt cheap, I remember something like $150 blazers - maybe it was a price mistake (god bless inefficiency)

Re: Good finds

Cloak Blazer / Jacket sort of thing

Don't know enough about Cloak pricing to know if this classifies as a "Good Find" or not, but it looks like a pretty nice jacket.

Ann Demeulemeester angel's picture brooch. Would buy if it wasn't that expensive for what it is.

I once sold one for $185. I think it was to someone who was more of a Juliet Margaret Cameron fan rather than Ann Demeulemeester fan.

The much sought after Linea leather jacket from the Japanese yahoo auction.

Too bad it is so small...

Size 3 (Linea 3, so probably more like 1 in Carpe)
shoulders 38cm, chest 41cm, length 67cm, arm 68cm

I am sure it will go over 100,000yen and the only way you could win it would be to go into a bidding war at the last minute.

That shirt may still be in your grasps if you don?t mind paying a little more for it. Use the code ?toutie? for 20% off all items (including Cloak and Sale/Full price items). Hope that helps.
