Interest Check: No. A and No. C, Antwerp fashion magazines

[Charlie Delta]

Found a couple of issues of the original "No. A" magazine, that was started by Walter Van Beirendonck for the ocassion of the big "Mode2001 Landed/Geland" expo in Antwerp in 2001.

They made a couple of really excellent issues each curated by one designer but due to some trouble at the publishers they stopped.

A bit later they picked it up again with A Magazine.

I can pick these up if people are interested.

They originally retailed for €9 / $14

OK here's the deal, went past the post office today, turned out shipping is alot more expensive than anticipated since the mags are so heavy. And with the weak dollar and all it becomes rather steep.

Offering them individually doesn't really make sense, so I'll only sell them together.

Both mags shipped anywere is now $30

Paypal only.

Just wanted to say that these are now getting scarcer, anyone pm'ing me about them from now on I can't guarantee that I can get them for you, sorry.

For now they only have No. A and No. C available.

No. A curated by Dirk Van Saene.

A shoot styled by Desiree Heiss from BLESS, a decade of Dirk Van Saene collections, highlights of a (then new) generation of designers, and a shoot of Walter Van Beirendonck's F/W 01-02 collection among other things.

No. C curated by Hussein Chalayan

Beautiful magazine, one of my personal favorites from the series.

Not your regular fashion magazine, but filled to the brim with typical Chalayan style shoots and photographs, a shoot where he had blind people pick the clothes they could wear according to how they felt, portraits with make up done with light etc.

Now, 5 years later, still very inspiring imho.

Bumping this

If you can hold a pair until the 25th or so (I'm in the process of moving to England, shit's way too chaotic for me right now) I would be very interested.

[Charlie Delta]

I'll see what I can do for you.

How much for No A. shipped to Boston?

[Charlie Delta]

Updated first post with estimated shipping price.

Don't get scared now.

[sam_tem]

just request to ship them media mail (which is for books) and it shouldn't be more than 4 bucks

[Charlie Delta]

I'm not sure such a thing exist here, I'll ask for it on monday.

[Charlie Delta]

Bumping this.

Ok, I'm going by the post office tomorrow, to see if such a thing as cheaper shipping for books exists here. (I'm located in the Netherlands)

Otherwise I'm afraid shipping will indeed be $12 unless you're in Europe.

[ProfMonnitoff]

I would be willing to already send you the money, I just don't have the shipping address yet (but it'll be in Birmingham, UK).

All pm's replied to, changed the first post to include final shipping details.

Both mags shipped anywhere for 30 bucks!

Herpsky: I will check if I can still find an issue of the Margiela A.

[onemancult]

Thanks

Everybody who has payed me has been shipped out.

And there are still 4 sets pending, if they fall trough they go to the next in line.

Then there are no more left!

Be quick!

Also I probably won't be doing something like this any time soon as dragging around with heavy mags and having the shipping price bumped up all the time without making anything on it isn't my favorite pasttime.

Oh well...

Herpsky: no luck so far, will keep my eyes open

[Charlie Delta]

Another thing, people in the US and beyond, be prepaired for some waiting. Had to get slow shipping, otherwise it would've been even more. I would count on 2 weeks min.

Sorry about this.

I hate the Dutch mail service with their wack and unclear pricing!!!

[Charlie Delta]

Everybody who payed yesterday and this morning has been shipped out aswell.

For the people still pending, if you decide to pass up on these because of shipping that's no problem at all, just let me know so I don't have to keep others waiting.

Thanks!

[Charlie Delta]

Bumping this, still a couple availabe.

Everybody who has recieved them, could you let me know you did if you haven't already.

Curious to know how long that superexpensive dutch snailmail takes.

Thanks
