LR has a number of company stores in Austria and a franchise system for their shops in Austria and Germany.

Your quoted price seems rather low. I'll doublecheck with the LR store in town

As I remember, Alt Wien does not make shoes by itself. They used to place orders at Alfred Sargent and Crockett & Jones.

LR's shoes that I've seen both in Austria and Germany were much less comparable neither to Vass, nor to Dinkelacker. I own shoes of both of these manufacturers and consider of high quality. I wanted to purchase LR, but after seeing them by myself decided to forget about LR shoes.

Can't say anything about LR bags.

Can't say anything about LR bags.

that's all very objective. vass is vass - no discussion.

fwiw, the dinks i have seen in a shop were made of "rubbish" leather and the inside(lining, sockliner) looked cheap. they have a "meisterstück" edition, which i have never handled personally, so i can't tell you.

maybe you can elaborate what made you stay away from LR. understood, i have no card in this game and no economical interest. just want to know.

btw, the bags are very nice with an important price tag...

I saw LR's shoes last December in Vienna. I do not really remember anything great about it.
As for rubbish leather of Dinkelacker

that is all that I can say to you. I have a pair and can't say that its leather is cheap or plastic.

+1, very impressed with the Carmina pics I have seen recently. The split-toe posted above looks great. Patrick was also wearing a very nice suede Carmina when I saw him on the recent Chan tour.

Yeah i can't wait for the Armoury e-shop to open, the carmina suede wholecuts are awesome looking.

 

[ThinkDerm]

carmina rocks, period.
