the FIL here in sendai is usually staffed with about three people even on weekdays...even when it's fairly quiet. but i think the reasoning is that unlike a lot of other stores, the staff devote a lot of time/attention to each customer. it's not the kind of store where the staff just go in the back room to grab a size and then leave you to yourself. They stay with the customer and really try to explain the product.
It's funny as I'm sure having the stores so well staffed affects the prices...and as prices go up, I'm sure the customer expects more personalized customer service...
That should go for any store that carries Visvim product. As you all may know, Visvim has a very niche clientele and most of all the people that do buy Visvim like to know the inspiration behind each piece. Thats why for most, we like to buy the main or special piece of the season because it can get redundant.
Even for customers who buy Visvim regular and attend our trunk show have the same mentality as most when they see a piece that cost over 4k. Thats when you really break it down to them and explain the reasoning behind it. Though to some it justifies the pricing and others it does not, there is an understanding and madness behind certain pieces.

greetings. sorry to be the first guy to kick off the "are there any smalls left" discussion, but...
how often do you receive size 5 in visvim products? you guys have a better selection than bergdorf so i'd rather shop with you.
We generally get 5's in most of every piece we order. There are occasions that Visvim does not offer that size which can generally mean that the size 4 fits big.
Its the end of the season now so we won't be receiving any more Visvim till end of August beginning September. Sizing is always limited especially for a size 5. I will definitely let you know once we do receive in that particular size.
I can also check for you what we currently have now and get back to you.

what hell? arent the blog and emails enough?
...this will be a "how the wash" / "any smalls left" thread.
Hopefully not but I will gladly answer them. This is just another way to get more in touch with the community.
We are using this as another outlet to talk to people and get a dialogue going on questions whether about the product knowledge or anything related to us in any way or form.

always loved union. went back recently after years of not going and the place has really grown. really classic timeless pieces, i want everything in the shop. i remember years back when you guys would have the wall of shirts, and were the first to carry lines that inspired most of what we see today.
now just bring back one of those backyard sales! i remember coming up on some incredible deals.
The lines we carry have definitely majored over the years but still sticking to our roots. We want to be able to offer a bit of something for everyone.
As for another backyard sale.... there may be something much BIGGER in the works. Stay tuned!

A little history about the store..
Union first opened its doors in NYC in 1989, followed shortly after by the Los Angeles chapter, which is now the only remaining door. Our concept is simple we walk the line of fashion and function. We like to offer functional clothing that has subtle fashion sensibilities.
It is our opinion that most fashion designers/brands will offer design which makes for clothing that is more costumey. On the other hand functional clothing is boring and uninspiring. We find brands that mix both worlds giving our customers more freedom to express themselves without looking like they are playing dress-up.
We’ve always tried to keep an element of the store where we give young up and coming designers a place to showcase and sell their goods. As a direct outcome, we have become a store that has “broken†many brands here in America, of which most have gone on to great commercial success.
…and while we are always searching for “the newâ€, we also have a sturdy foundation of tried and true brands that we have strong long standing relationships with. We feel that although we are looked at as trend setters, we never carry clothing in here that is “trendy.â€
Our current product mix is the strongest it has ever been.
