Londoners - please advise - Levis Store

[sneakeraddict]

Does Regent Street sell the LVC range comprehensively? (501xx replicas in raw denim in particular)

will be in London tomorrow and am planning to visit this store, cos I've a voucher, but no point if they dont stock this range.

Thanks

Forget about the Levi's store and head to Cinch in Newburgh street, which runs parallel to Carnaby street on the Soho side. They have all the LVC that's available and the staff are super friendly. Not sure if they'll take your voucher though.

if your going to cinch then yeah. but its expensive!

damm. beat me too it

Yeah I figured cinch would be the best option.

Thing is I have a voucher for the Levis branded stores, so I doubt Cinch would be included.

So I take it Regent Street dont stock LVC then. Scum bags

[frideswide]

Agree with all my friends above that Cinch is best. Levi's "own brand" shops (like in Covent Garden) don't do LVC, for some reason. Other than that, Selfridges carry some LVC; they might take your voucher, not sure.

Nothing on Regent Street to my knowlege... I don't think Liberty does LVC.

I've only been in a couple of times and never seen LVC - they do some 'premium' stuff like the Red range.

Still, Cinch and the Regent Street store are about five minutes walk apart so you'll be able to hit up both no worries

[witts]

show me the voucher ill let you know if selfridges will accept it i work thurrrr. i wouldnt have thought so though.

The levis stores are pretty shit in my opinion, although jack white came in the other day and purchased the new red 501s

I think Cinch are likely to take your vouchers, I've swapped stuff between them and the regent st store beofre. The Regent St store used to do LVC, but doesn't now.

Unfortunately Cinch have quite a limited range of stock in at the moment partiuclarly in the common sizes, at the moment they only have 36W jenas in a lot of styles - altho they ofen have jeans from older lines squirreled away, it's worth asking. for some jeans, American Classics on Endell st has a wider range of sizes.

i saw Jack WHite play on Tues nite, he certainly wasn't wearing Levi's - it was a bizarre pair of tartan pants, wonder WTF he got those...

go camden market get some vintage levis. and some chinese while your there

SUPERJUNKIE

For vintage, I would say the best place is Beyond Retro on Cheshire St just off Brick Lane. Not cheap, but a good selection. Go on a Sunday morning, and there's another good covered market indoors near the Truman brewery - can't remember its address but look for painted arrows on the pavement on Brick Lane itself. And of course you can get a great lunchtime curry there. But don't buy any of the counterfeir football strips! Spitalfields Market, on Comercial st, parallel to Brick Lane, si worth checking out too. (Shoreditch tube, or Aldgate East)

You can also check out the celebrtaed local artists and there's some v cool georgian houses and a hawksmoor church - you might remember it from that Jack the Ripper movei w Johnny Depp, was it From Hell?

Witts: here is the voucher: Do you think selfridges would accept it?

(by the way, anyone can use it)

[witts]

nah we wouldnt accept it.

can you just print em off?????

[sneakeraddict]

not exactly the answer I was looking for...

Yeah, anyone who needs it just print it off and present it in store.

I need discount 501 repros and its pissing me off

[witts]

nah i spoke to my friend at levis today not one store carries LVC. so the only thing you could do is freind up an employee of a store that stocks LVC and get them to use their discount.

not me though and plus my store has the crapest selection of LVC EVER! weve got about 10 pairs of the 1890 501s in 36W and thats it

SUPERJUNKIE

[sneakeraddict]

I will take a look in cinch and see if they have any reduced styles.

Cant bring myself to pay over £100 for levis!!

The Regent Street store does in fact sell some LVC. They're just tucked away downstairs with the girls stuff for some reason - great merchandising I know, but at least it keeps the Bruce Springsteen fan club away. Suggest you grab hold of the funky Asian guy with the hat and big cheey grin up stairs - he knows his stuff
