yea but this only seems to be with high end clothing. I can't think of other examples at the moment but most imported goods cost about the same in the country of origin. Then again, customs tax is a complicated subject I know nothing about.

^I can't speak for these recent group buys, but I was quite happy with a transaction for a Silent shirt I wasn't able to find anywhere else. The bigger advantage for me than the discount was being able to get anything I wanted from a lookbook, store buys are always so conservative it was nice to be able to go direct in this case.
Aside from a loss of exclusivity (which the internet has already destroyed) I'm not sure I see the disadvantage of this to designers, they get more orders placed with a guaranteed sell through. That said, it probably makes more sense for small and not widely distributed brands like Silent to agree to a deal like this.

There is no excuse for this, and certainly not "the artisanal approach" and its by-products ("uneven surfae, irregularities etc)
That's just sloppy, and unwearable.

From what I heard, (even though I never had any first hand experience with Augusta) from sales assistants at l'E, Augusta quality seems to be very fickle (is that the right word?), and it is overall a bit overpriced (quite a few issues and complaints from customers).Originally posted by FaustTrue story.

When I tried a FW10 pair at Layers the back zipper simply wouldn't move to either direction and it took eat me a minute to help me put them on and then another to effortfully take them off my feet. A great synergy of bad construction and SA awkwardness.
