The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[CBrown85]

I was looking at buying something but they're charging 15% duty on shipments to Canada. Doesn't make sense to me.

The world doesn’t want us to have retail Drake’s. Even going to Harry Rosen brick and mortar, Drake’s stuff is marked up into infinity.

Sold, thanks Gerry, enjoy.


Hi guys, I have a new in box raw indigo shirt from the Rake x Drakes collaboration. Size 16 / 41 I'll post it to Grailed but wanted to offer it here first. https://therake.com/drakes-the-raw-indigo-dyed-denim-shirt.html $100 USD plus shipping. Cheers, NB

The Drakes 40th anniversary ties are beautiful!
Just purchased the below thinking it'll go great with some future wedding plans.

It’s a nice one. Does anybody if the London store will ship overseas? Don’t want to go through website.

What's the story with these 40th anniversary ones? Marketing gimmick or something special?

I think the prints are nice enough to believe they put some extra effort to research their archive to make something that is a throwback.
I'm sure some marketing gimmick in there somewhere but I'll happily invest a few extra bucks since I like the tie enough. Plus I'm sure I'll imagine a bit of mystique because of the 40th anniversary, haha.

Somebody should buy them all. You could probably flip it for twice as much.

Update: The seller changed his mind...

Hey guys,

Any interest in NWT Drake's tie for £25? There's a wholesaler who's unloading all their samples. Width is 3 - 3.25. Lots of variety.

Not looking to make money off of it. Just want to give to the community.

They have the factory/Drake's sample tags. Not retail tags.

Is this what you're referring to when you say the seller changed his mind?

 

[othertravel]

Yep. He just emailed me. Sorry about the confusion guys.

 

[justridiculous]

Great; I'm still interested.

 

[othertravel]

No, I mean he changed about selling them. Sale is a no go.
