The UK Online store-9910 for a further 15% off (or was it 25?) and 1304 for an additional £5. I believe that makes the white zips £36 or so with shipping

has anyone tried messing around with the white ones (colour wise)?




Crappy quality pictures, but sandpapered them like mad and then put some black shoe cream on. I've used them maybe 7-8 times since (they were unworn here). The few white spots on the shoe and the white near the sole is almost completely gone now. I'm happy with how they turned out, since I pretty much got them for free it was either to sell for like 20 bucks or this.

That actually looks great. I like the little bits of white on the bottom. How much sandpapering was involved? How is the texture of the shoe now?

BTW-- went to pick up a camel suit (full rack earlier this week) and now there is only 1 camel blazer in 44 left. Managed to get camel pants (they're nice) in 32 and 33 :) I'm still looking for the navy, trade? :)

What're prices/discounts like in the US? Anyone doing a cheap proxy? Could use a navy/black suit and maybe a pair of white side zips

Nice job on the white side-zips. The next time I visit the store, or if they go down from 75€ online, I might grab a pair and try that. Maybe make them brown.

I'd be wary of the fact that most retailers in the Chicago suburbs will have nada when it comes to anything remotely fashionable. I've been to the Oak Brook mall countless times only to be reminded, on each occasion, that sprawling Midwestern malls specialize in nothing but the bland and trite.

Your best bet is to go downtown and see if the Michigan Ave. location still has some stuff hanging around. I doubt the Oak Brook H&M ever even had the Margiela stuff in the first place.

The collab was only stocked at certain stores, the list was on the site before everything about it was purged for there.

This. In the Chicago area only the State st and Michigan Ave locations had the collab.

I am going to get a painted zip and slip on and try to rub the paint off. I love how Hebe's turned out, especially the white on the sole. Instead of sanding, how about some kind of liquid solvent? Not sure if that'll hurt the leather. Is shoe cream different from shoe polish? Should be a fun winter project 8)

anyone want a 44 in camel, navy, or camel coat? or 34 in navy pants? or various sized fusion pants? or XS belt jacket? or S/M/L alpaca sweaters? or M/L fusion of two shirts? There is one of each coat and a few pants left at my H&M and I don't mind picking it up, especially the lighter stuff.
