I hope you are able to do so. Word on the street is the current season is the last for them. All the boots were taken out of the permanent collection meaning they will no longer be made. Hoping this isn't true.
How do the scarves look like?
Currently aiming for the Princeton loafers with the fur. Got two job offers recently and currently waiting to be interviewed for another . If I get the latter, definitely going to cop the Harness boot come early summer.
you got the job....for some reason, i believe you gonna get the one that you want
Bless up
Adidas- made in italy. Dont waste your money.
I can definitely see where your coming from and if you paid far under $795, I wouldn't have any issue with that. Just was speaking personally about if I would buy those and didn't mean any ill intent or attempt to make you have buyer's remorse. It's not "always" true but Portugal has been becoming the "China of Europe" in terms of cheaper manufacturing which also goes with cheaper construction and materials. Will I sit here and say that very nice items are not made in China? No because that's ridiculous. I'm fully aware luxury items can be produced anywhere, and it's mentioned a lot in here that no pair of these shoes justify the price tags, so you're right in that sense as well. Maybe SLP boots were fully glued at one point as well and during that time, I wouldn't purchase any of them. I also think it's a bit of a stretch to call Story Et Fall a "SLP knockoff". I think it's more fair to just call them a boot company that was inspired by the likes of SLP. Just because someone is producing similar designs when the market is asking for a cheaper alternative doesn't make them knock offs. If they were producing identical items and stamping SLP all over them then that would be a counterfeit imo. I don't even own any SEF boots but browsing this thread, there was HUGE respect and nods given at the quality and construction of them especially for the price point.
Late to the game on this response but I do own the Lanvin Chelsea and can highly recommend them. While at $795 you'd prolly be better off getting SLP as noted by others, I will say they are the most comfortable boot I've ever owned. If you see them on sale I'd say give them a try.
The Good;
Good shape/style, classic black chelsea, smaller heel makes them more versatile than SLP IMO, depends on what you're after.
Good leather
Fantastic fit/comfort (for me at least, I went true to size)
The Bad;
Made in Portugal (if that matters to you, to me it doesn't but to many it does)
Construction (while they use quality leather and materials, they seem to be glued/cemented, not blake stitched as SLPs). As such you probably won't be able to resole these down the line.
Wearing them today actually;
I concur. Previous dudes post came off as elitist. Basically saying if you can't afford SLP don't rock Chelseas\Jodphurs.
Sorry, wasn't trying to say that, in actuality I was confusing Story Et Fall with true (blatant) SLP copy in Puerhomme (Mondays will do that to me). I have no problem with people trying to find ways to rock the SLP aesthetic for less.
Unfortunately I've never owned any Lanvin sneakers so I can't really compare them. I'm a 43 in most 'dress' shoes, and is what I sized in the Lanvin. I can describe them as true to size and somewhat narrow. If in between sizes I would definitely recommend sizing up as opposed to down, you can always add an insole if necessary.

you can find harnesses for around 700-800 now if you keep an eye out and be patient.
Will do thanks. I'm probably gonna cop the harness off of grailed and then cop the orange/red suede Jdophur off of saks. Hoping another 30% code comes along from Saks before end of June so I can combine it with my gift card.
win/win imo..
Thats the black joints with the chain correct ? Put me on to this plug
