I checked out the sale, didn't end up buying anything. they had all current season stock (except outerwear....) at 10% off, 20% off accessories (the belts and scarfs were shit) and 50% off some random sweaters and shirts from a couple of seasons ago. I liked the four pocket wool jacket but they don't make men's items in XS anymore so basically nothing in the store fits me

was the wool jacket the one with the belted knit cuffs?

was gonna pull the trigger on those but they didn't have a S in the color i wanted.

sale sounded pretty damn shit. thankful i didn't go down

[DJI]

^yeah that was the one. they had the black in size S.

was disappointed with the accessories too. the belts were tacky (faux snake skin and performated leather :confused:) and the scarves was so thin they were useless.

there's this place near monash uni, clayton. on princess highway, after just passing stephesons/clayton rd on the left close to all the furniture places. got a treadmill there recently which was cheaper than ebay for the same brand and also got a chin up thing which is normally 300 but got for like 80 bucks. try negotiating the price as well.

[kstanl]

Does anyone know if Assin/Marais/Chiodo are having winter sales?

There's alot of stock in Assin that's been there for aaages. I know they have that outlet in Toorak rd, but do they have sales in the Little Collins store?

Btw, 50%+ off Lacoste in Melb Central. Some of the canvas shoes are ok (and less than $100).

[kstanl]

Just dropped by the Assin outlet on Toorak Rd. Apparantly they advertised a sale in the paper to start on Sat but it actually started today.

There's somedecent stuff in smaller sizes.

Eg Dior 19cm orange overdyes at 50% off (size 28)

A few small Dior t's at 50% aswell as a couple of beige dior trenches at 50%.

Otherwise there's a bunch of Margiela stuff for 50% off in all sizes, though it's still pretty pricey.

Not much in the way of shoes except for some Marni sneakers.

Oh and Assin on Collins won't have sales anymore, the stock will just go straight to the outlet.

[James Vincent]

a couple of beige dior trenches at 50%

Oh shit. What kind of price do they end up as? They full length or more thigh length? Sizes?

I'm after this SS06 (the product code will be 6EH...) trench in 48 or 50 - also interested in similar ones from other seasons. If the right product is there, I can pay proxy fees for a pick up.

[kstanl]

The colour was more tan then beige and they had a 50 and a 52.

I'm pretty sure they were mid-thigh, though I could be wrong as I didn't try them on (too big)... $1500AU

[freshfood]

hi, i'll be visiting melbourne in june and i'd like to do some shopping there. are there any particular good buys that i should be aware of? eg: would ksubi/tusbi be cheaper in australia? also, where are some places where one could purchase winter wear (snowboarding jackets, pants, etc)? lastly, where can the higher end shops (eg gucci, prada, marc jacobs, paul smith, etc) mostly be found? thanks!

[jcotteri]

Not that i would waste my time at most of these stores, nor would i buy most of these brands at all let alone in Australia.

No wonder the the they get so annoyed in the jap threak

[freshfood]

thanks for your help, jcotteri.

[DJI]

not much of interest listed for guys besides friedrich gray but last years garage sale was half decent so I'll probably check it out

[saepnirg]

well alice euphemia does stock beat poet so that might be of interest too.

not sure if its included in the sale though

[DJI]

last year none of the regular in store stock was discounted, it was mainly samples that they brought in specifically for the sale. still might be some beat poet stuff however last year the only beat poet piece I saw on sale was a black dart shirt with a faulty button.

[saepnirg]

haha damn..

ah well it does sound promising enough to head down to.

good prices in your experience?

[DJI]

yeah the shit they have there is cheap but you would want to get there early as the good stuff gets snapped up quick.

[jcotteri]

hah anyone sees a Benzendrine dart tee or a fragment tartan button up in 40 let me know

[st_]

yo, finally hitting up melbourne again this week. keen as mustard, has been too long .

where (in the city) would be my best bet to cop some true white vans authentics?

[supernudie]

PSG had some Vans last time I went, can't recall if there were any true white authentics though.

[supernudie]

Was in the city today, helped you check. PSG didn't have them but Platypus Shoes in Melb Central had true white Authentics

[James Vincent]

The colour was more tan then beige and they had a 50 and a 52.

I'm pretty sure they were mid-thigh, though I could be wrong as I didn't try them on (too big)... $1500AU

Thanks for your help, it's a shame DH on sale at Assin is almost RRP overseas. I picked up the Robert Geller SS08 trench instead.

[jcotteri]

^pics? please, would love to see it, also on would be good

merci

[James Vincent]

It's on its way from Blackbird now, but I will post pics when it arrives.

[jcotteri]

tanx mang.

[Pandemonium]

anyone go to alice euphemia?

[DJI]

only 1 rack of sale stuff for guys at alice. a few friedrich gray and beat poet shirts from F/W last year for $80, some mjolk jeans for the same price and a couple of random pieces from antipodium. there was also some crap from united graphics but didnt pay any attention to it.

alice had a couple of new shirts from beat poet in store and some scarves that weren't on display yet. they also had a few james cameron knits. looks like alice has sold through pretty much all of their beat poet and friedrich gray buy this season, only a few pieces left and not many sizes.

[jcotteri]

thanks DJI helpful as always
