Didn't see that but if you call them with the style code they can probably check their inventory.Any chance they had the 'Braided Piping Biker' on hand?

Guys, I'm torn... What pair shall I get?
Bro looks good... you going to get the white python joints? I am all about them.Managed to purchase the last sz43 khaki green Chelsea camargue boots @ 40% off, from the Celine Germany website with the help of a friend. Sale is active on the EU website -- incredibly annoying how it isn't available on the UK website and that the subsequent sale is only going to start in store on the 26th.
Popped into Bond Street yesterday to be sure I wanted them. Was already eyeing them up previously after seeing how nice they looked on the boot review blog 'dasbootblog' on Instagram (great page, highly recommend following if you've a boot fetish) - I like how the shade changes substantially depending on lighting. These will work for me as well as though they have the pointier toe (which for me is a bit too effete for my personal style), it is offset by the thicker sole. Also happy with the width of the shaft that manages to fill out nicely the hem of my (by most peoples standards) skinny fw13 jeans that have a hem width of 14.5-15cm. I was concerned the shaft would be too skinny/hem wouldn't wrap nicely. So really looking forward to receiving these -- these'll be my first fashion boot that isn't set on the SL wyatt last!
Couple of pictures I had taken yesterday in store:

And several more shots from dasbootblog's instagram that highlights the shape/colour in different lighting a little better:

They're very nice.. love exotic leather.... but not for me, can't see how I can rotate white boots into my wardrobe and I'm not about to start trying just because Hedi's going a particular look in Celine/SS20. Rotating black/tan (and now imminently khaki ) works well enough for me.
Having said that, I did pre-order the SS20 SL python wyatts with the 40mm heel. They did 40mm versions in FW16 and a rubberised looking one sometime in 2017 I think (rubberised/dark grey python looked amazing). The current FW19 30mm python chelseas look **** in comparison (and the snakeskin uses smaller scales, not half as pretty).
The 40mm wyatt last > 40mm jacno pythons (for me).
They bumped up the estimated delivery date from April 2020 to 31st Dec 2019... here's hoping. Pre-ordered the last 43 on the basis of knowing how quick the FW16 ones sold out. Will decide whether to keep/return when they arrive, they'd have to be perfect at their price point...

I feel like the Lukas works better for everyday wear. The Camargue is just too 'pretty' (in both a good and bad way).I’m equally torn - the Camargue model is fresher and more exciting but the Lukas are tried-and-true and may be more wearable. Both are very sexy.
