i just got a country road shawl neck cardigan in grey that i'd like to sell, its super heavy/thick and is size M in grey. cr always have great quality knits.

only reason i'm selling is because it was the last size in the store...i thought i could get away with it but after putting it on properly at home its a bit small. i can't swap it as its now about a week past the return date.

its brand new with tags (has $185 listed, which i paid) - willing to get go for $115 inc postage. big loss but i just want to rebuy it in a size bigger basically.

pm if you'd like pics or measurements.

ow too bad, i was hoping they got mens clothes as well.

went to meanwhile in sydney last week, pretty decent stuff with some dries van noten for men.

but yeah i think the big problem here in sydney that theres not much brands too chose from.

brands that one store stocked normally stocked by the others as well ..

i am not a fan of nb's on every single model! looks ok for some of the shots but for others it just doesn't suit.

some of the new claude maus looks interesting.........on that dip dye tip

why the fuck would they style without shoes? looks super stooopid.

[conqueror]

they have always shot models without footwear (or at least for the last 4ish years anyway).

[jackg]

not always, i definitely recall seeing shots with cp's from a couple of years back maybe when manchester lane was stocking them. but still i don't understand presenting a collection in that manner (straight photographs) without shoes.

[jackg]

i am the only one who thinks clothes in general look much better when styled with shoes.....especially when its a collection presentation kinda thing.

oh yea, my bad. either way, i like it.

[ColdTurkey]

[jackg]

This looks like a look book right?

In some cases you have to have an agreement with the label of the shoe you are using since it is sales/marketing material. Otherwise there can be legal issues (strange but true)

CM used to stock CP so it was probably at the time this was shot

[JayPee]

Anyone know the next harrolds sale date?
