Strawberry knit up on Matches is pretty cool.

But I will voice my opinion is that Lemaire knits still seem to be short in the body, long in the arms, and not something easily wearable IME. I feel like Lemaire cuts the knitwear for solely to wear tucked in is higher waist trousers. To me that looses some appeal as I try to look for versatility in my clothing nowadays.

The cut of the old yak wool knits was perfect. The rib knits are usually fine but the Shetland ones last year were just too small all over.
East Dane also has a bunch of new stuff including the wool sweaters in 3 colors ( and all in XL!)

The shetland wools are where the problem lie and I am starting to think it may be just the fabric. Shetland wool seems less forgiving and other makers appear to be sized small as well, so, it may not be just Lemaire. I agree his other knits (or perhaps older Christophe Lemaire knits) are much forgiving in terms of fit.

So much good stuff, I'll admit this past SS season was a pretty huge let down for me. I bought like 2 or 3 things. And I think Lemaire is usually pretty strong for Spring/Summer, but this FW season looked awesome on the runway and is looking even better on shelves. I just need somebody to pick up this in an XL...

Some new stuff is showing up on Voo Store (accessories and womens) and Farfetch, but I don't know what boutique(s) that is from, but it has the black colourway of the high neck sweater I posted above. Nothing touches that cream one though.

The stuff on Farfetch is probably from Voo Store, they list some of their stock on there and it says shipping from Germany. I dont know why Farfetch doesnt list which boutique the items are from anymore, its quite annoying that they changed it.

So people won't go buy it directly and cut out the middle man, right?

:laugh:

I read back what I said right after posting and thought, yeah, that is blatantly why they've done it

Yeah, I used to search out the boutiques Farfetch featured, and I would often buy directly from the boutiques especially during sale time. Farfetch is always slower to mark things down because they have their own—often later—markdown schedule. Granted, their delivery service is pretty top notch, and their return policies are sometimes better than what's offered by the boutiques themselves.

I know everybody (including myself) is really focused on the incoming season right now, but thanks to you guys pointing out that Farfetch had new arrivals that I obviously had to check out, I ended up kopping the spring zippered jacket (same as I got at the boutique in Paris) in black for a total steal... €200! I'll now have two of these, but you can't really have too many black jackets imo and I really love the havana as well and was hesitating about getting it in the forest green they still have up at the online shop. Lucked out...

That said it's coming from Italy and I could see the shop it's coming from once I finished the purchase process, went to check it out there and it's officially still full price on their online shop... Farfetch must have something to do with that, I imagine
