Does anyone have a current promotion code for Vaja Cases?

Thanks in advance.

the message is clear; the front image is strong enough without the back text and graphic. the back of the shirt is redundant.

which is exactly the reason that i am so surprised that that they seem to have spent so much time creating something like this. that category is anything but authentic. (i'm sorry, but if i hear one more thing in the news/publicity stunt arena from marc ecko this week, i'm going to scream.) that's a huge knock against them in my book. i was expecting a very fly-by-night strategy and product quality from them. but i'm impressed by this effort.

i promise you i don't work for them. new to the whole denim thing. i'm just a junkie for brands that have a great story and authenticity. (i can't afford them, but i can still admire good stuff). there's a lot of junk out here.

if you haven't already done so, check out prps. seams like the real deal (corny pun intended). great product and story. (don't work for them), but impressed at the level of detail here:

nice logo.

use the crest for the second v. it reads "vivva."

also, i don't know how it would ultimately look. it may be too busy in the end, but try to extend some lines and volutes from the crest into the other letters to create a visual relationship between all of the elements of the logo.

go for it.

no, i don't sport homeless chic, but i'm sure that if i wore the clothes they sell i could pull it off.

good one.

"commission" is if salespersons actually acknowledges your presence, speaks and tries to help you. not when they suddenly appear and stand in the corner of each section of the store staring from a distance until you leave without saying a word to you and look away when you look at them.

funny. i'll keep that in my pocket for the next time.

thanks for the laugh.

hello all,

i should be used to this by now, being that it happens in stores that i can afford (and in many upstate neighborhoods), but is it customary for the retail staff at comme des garçons to follow their customers around the store? i love their entry way and have passed by so many times without exploring it. i finally decided to go in and check out the retail design. it's a shame in this day and age… it left a sour taste in my mouth (pause) and ruined the whole experience for me.
