The Styleforum x Archibald Sneaker GMTO

Hope all you guys stay healthy and that this passes soon. Here in Australia everyone is going nuts. Panic buying and people having fights in supermarkets over toilet paper.

that's insane. London is still ok for now... how's the situation anywhere else? US?

I'm in the most affected region of Germany and in my city things are just now starting to get dire. Supermarkets are still full and everything (at least as of Saturday) but restaurants pretty empty. Some companies are closing and putting their people to work remotely. I guess I am coming next...

A working colleague of mine who lives in Cologne reported some supermarkets not having any more pasta (!!!).

Cheers

Here in New Jersey it seems ok, but supermarkets are getting empty. Paper products and hand sanitizers are pretty much unavailable in NY/NJ. It seems that everyone is bracing for more bad news to come. Many companies are asking employees to work from home.

I think it's starting to pick up steam here. Our Seattle office is having people work from home now. Trade shows getting cancelled. They'll probably have me working from home shortly, too. Haven't been to the grocery store since Saturday but it seemed to still be decently stocked. Think a lot people think the government is downplaying the seriousness, too.

Oh yes, I forgot about the trade shows. A conference I was going to next week in Copenhagen got cancelled, the email came on Friday evening so a bit short notice. Other conferences colleagues were going to (coincidentally also next week) in Germany got cancelled as well.

I am happy to hear you guys are doing well, even if the world is going a bit crazy right now!

is there still some stock? We should start selling high-quality handcrafted toilet paper in Archibald too

Time to set up a survey thread on SF

 

[bry2000]

I would tell you to sell hand sanitizer, but by the time you develop a survey and tabulate the results to arrive at the answer you already knew, the world will have moved on to the next crisis.

 

[OrlandoMo]

Ahaha that would be great tho, the first GMTO on Toilet Paper, handcrafted in Italy, at cost, only for SF member @bry2000 @wristandfeet

Toronto has been getting to that point. Sanatizer has been scarce, toilet paper is constantly running out. Sounds like we might be shutting down non-essential work travel at my company too.

Italy at the moment has completely shut down. From today the government ordered 15 days of everything closed except for pharmacies and groceries shop. The SF-01 production is still going on, our lead craftsman Adriano is still working from his workshop/house but delays in delivery are probably expected due to suspension of activities from suppliers. Will keep you updated on the situation and on the eta, everything is under control for now!

Thanks @OrlandoMo - I think we all understand you all have bigger things on your plate right now. I hope you all stay well!

Thanks for the update.
I'm guessing it will be hard to get new outsoles from Margom now.

India has basically quarantined itself. All tourist visas have been suspended. Schools on indefinite holiday and all other travellers into the country have to self-quarantine for 14 days.
Although there are only 52 confirmed cases in the country at the moment (of which 16 are Italians), I suspect there might be many more that are and will remain undiagnosed.
