I bought a polo and a pair of pants from him. Both were authentic, however he sent me the wrong pair of pants (which were pretty ugly..). Not terrible, but not the best experience either.

i sent an e-mail to vip_couture asking what fabric a pair of pants i was interested in were made of and i never heard back. so you can take that for what it's worth but the seller has some pretty cool items listed from time to time and the positive feedback percentage is in the 99s.

He had some cool Helmut Lang jeans a while back, so I emailed him and asked if he had any in my size. He said he did, and would sell them in an off-ebay transaction, and said I would need to buy 10 pairs of assorted sizes (plus the one pair I wanted) at $60/ pair, which was like $15 above his BIN price. This struck me as VERY bizarre.

He has some great stuff. I've asked for measurements on three items so far, all at different times, and got responses super fast all three times. Two items were similar though (both D&G coats) and I feel like he gave me a stock answer - both had the same measurements and content, and both were written exactly the same, like he copied and pasted. Was too big anyway. Oh well.

I recently bought some pants from him that turned out to be several sizes smaller than labelled.

He responds psychotically if you leave him negative feedback, so I think you should avoid him.

Yeah, interesting feedback for this seller -- for a while there, his/her standard response to every negative was, "I SURVIVED HURRICANE WILMA IN CANCUN I WILL FIX EVERY ISSUE IN 24 HOURS"

Well obviously if he/she could fix every issue in 24 hours, there wouldn't be 34 negatives.
