So has anybody tried the new Carmina system of picking up at the Capitol Piazza store?

Can I get the same price package as the Camina webstore if I simply walk into the Sg store to buy?

 

[Wanderlust]

Now that Carmina has increased their prices, Enzo Bonafe seems quite attractive now since they are handwelted.

inclusive of taxes/handling fee + free shoe tree if pickup from local shop... i think its fair?

Might as well get from Skoak.

Carmina tree's arnt lasted. Nothing special about them.

At that price level, there's handwelted Enzo, Vass etc.

Can even avoid GST

Vass price point is above USD700 unless you got in on special MO deals.

There's a local guy Danny you could contact for fitting in Orchard but it's on appointment basis.

Skoak cant, Carmina direct also cant. Meermin also cant. Most English, Spanish, Scandi businesses pretty by the book and "clean".

Eastern European and other Euro places though may differ...especially if you contact them direct. With enough nudging, you may just receive some "sample shoes"

Enzo is around 700+, Vass (free lasted trees) 600+. Handwelted btw

Vass is def not 700 usd

The local guys are flogging their RTW at 650-680 sgd already.

FYG 700+ USD can get MTO cordovan ankle boots inclusive shipping. Though the pair were not from the local guys as I was not based here for abit

Thanks. Yelp is leather sole. Will sent to apply tops / vibram sole guard before wearing it.

Should really wear for a couple of weeks first before applying topy

let the leather expand, form to your gait and get scuffed

Danny (+65 9694 6977) << can just say you're referred by Issac of styleforum

Vass is def not 700 usd

700USD is the number quoted by Issac and Danny (local distributor) for a pair of Oxfords in gold museum calf, metal taps and tapered soles.
I think you might want to share how you got your Vass at SGD650 so perhaps we can tag an order with you, that price range you're referring to is definitely not available to non-regular buyers who aren't organizing MOs and with the EUR now at 1.5. That also doesn't include the metal taps, double to single tapered soles as well as the museum calf options...

In short, I think you're being too optimistic with your estimate.

From the Horse's Mouth. Unless he means to quote me USD in Singapore?

Spoiler

Vass also has a pricelist you can email and ask for btw. IIRC its 420 Eur for shoes, well within $680 sgd.

Also, a Thai based mate has a pair of cordovan vass boots coming in this December. That's then mid 700USD

As read from Isaac's emails you could see that the shoe options I've talked about are only available in MTO which in his email starts from SGD970.
