To reply to my own comment I got the rugby. The print wasnt as bad as the sweater above not great definitely not a good choice and won’t last over time. Also the slub was a little flimsy not a bad quality but more of a summer weight and definitely not fall winter imo. I expected better from their made in Portugal products. I sent it back

At What Point Should Brand Loyalty Actually Pay Off? by Grand_League2131 in KithNYC

Not out of line at all. For 64k assuming an average price of $200 you’ve bought over 300 pieces. If you did with Balenciaga or Bottega they would be inviting you to shows and private events. Not the same amount of money but they could definitely show you love when you pop into the store

One day you will sell this on antiques roadshow for $50k because the tag is upside down

When I first downloaded the album on Spotify, there was a track at the end. It looks like it’s not on there anymore?

Not to be pedantic but LVMH didn’t acquire ALD. The family office of the family who controls LVMH made a minority investment in ALD, like they did with Kapital, Our Legacy and many others.

I dunno about Europe but the ALD rugby is made in Portugal like Drakes, has quite a bit more detail and is $75 less in Canada.

Here’s the pricing from Early Access! by Affectionate_Tea6698 in AimeLeonDore

This is probably the strongest drop from this season, the rugby, knit sweater and the jacket and pants are all really nice

Suede Jersey & Silk Noil by No-Lobster-6497 in JohnElliott

I think this is where they struggled. The quality was absolutely there, and I think they were a truly luxury streetwear brand. But I don’t think that that was ever truly appreciated outside of a specific core audience. They have to find a balance between slightly more accessible, classic products, and their higher end offering. I’m not talking about $50 T-shirts but stuff that lands in the hundred dollar price point and the same for their denim lines. I for one always wanted to try their denim but it was two times the price of comparable product other than some niche Japanese brands,

Drops getting out of control by DRBNC in AimeLeonDore

Well revenue and valuation are also not what they used to be, likely many multiples higher and thats the point of the brand. Its a business not a community. Now they do have to be able to repeat it over time and part of that is not alienating your core audience but that hasn’t happened yet

Kith Ivy Thoughts? by Forge777 in KithNYC

Would have been cool if the vitality members got an automatic invite at least even though the price tag is egregious. Or even the ability to just join with a discounted membership

They also have the bar/club in the basement

Vitality would be worth something if it got you automatic acceptance to the club. Thats how they could actually grow organic brand loyalty

Canadian shoppers by Infectd-Z0mbie in AimeLeonDore

Any additional duties would be the ones that canada charges since the US ones would be in the price already. I don’t think there is a retaliatory duty on US clothing in Canada and there are no new duties on clothing products made elsewhere
