LEMAIRE

[dieworkwear]

Is it just me or do the collections just keep getting more expensive?

I think that's true of almost every designer across the board.

My interested in Lemaire has been waining over the past seasons but this collection has certainly renewed it.

Loving the Coffee and Cognac chesterfields. Would be great to get one of the shawl cardigans, price permitting.

Am I the only one that feels like the Kaftan gets progressively worse?

Remember the Owl coat, that is all.

Chesterfield are cool but those prices are indeed quite dear

The Owl Kaftan and Maxi is practically an urban legend at this point. No one has one. I've seen a maximum of two for sale on the resale market and neither in my size

I think this seasons Kaftan looks pretty good. And I think it’s good that he changes it up a bit so that if you already have one (or 3) kaftans then you might find some use out of another one since they’re aren’t all exactly the same.
The patch pockets are well done on this seasons, the shawl collar is bigger and back to the older, lower style after last winter, which I didn’t really like. It’s interesting that they threw a belt on it this season as well.
Plus it’s yak wool again, which is always a good thing.

What do you guys think of this article?

That’s cool I guess. Always good to see a designer I love get more support investment.
The most interesting thing about that article is the numbers on where his business is done though.
I mean I knew that North America was a relatively small market for him and I also knew that Asia was relatively large. But I didn’t realize to what degree.
I would think he has a lot of room to grow in North America but it really just seems like this market doesn’t give a **** about the Lemaire look.

100% yak, should be a nice fabric

Need Supply put up some shetland sweaters, which look great but sizing is limited again.

There's also one of the poplin shirt silhouettes on Vestiare collective but in the multi colour viscose that was used on the convertible collar shirts.

I never saw that anywhere in season. Pretty cool.

Looking for older season pants in charcoal/grey/black, size 2/46 but could do 48, if anyone has any leads. I'd be open to something from more recent seasons but they all seem too slim (willing to stand corrected though).

 

[OccultaVexillum]

@hayaoyamaneko you're best bet is going to be grailed/ebay/therealreal/vestiare collective

I have a pair of old grey lambswool pants for sale in a really nice flecked grey, but they're a size 50.


On another note, does anybody have one of the long key lanyards from last summer that they don't want anymore?
Yellow or black?
Please PM me if you do, or if you know where they are still available.

May I please request the product listing for the grey lambswool pants? Those do sound interesting, especially considering the relaxed fit from that period.
