    For the love of d'Avenza

    I have yet to find a d'Avenza piece that was not impeccably cut.

    Heinrich Dinkelacker Appreciation

    Spain makes indeed quality goods. Footwear and leather production, in general, has a very long tradition in the country. I ended up getting a small concession for the one defect shoe, and the other pair I managed to get replaced with a flawless pair. Overall, I am happy with the purchase. Lots...

    Heinrich Dinkelacker Appreciation

    Where have you heard about the production being made in Spain? It would make sense if true. I recently bought two pairs of shoes on sale from the official store, and both had defects on them. Stuff that a quick visual inspection would have sorted out. One pair had a 800 USD MSRP, the other one...

    Did I miss something? Was the D'Avenza brand relaunched?

    Gieves and Hawkes enters liquidation.

    From the FT [1] : Could it be that the Chinese owners did not manage to get the expected profit margins, and were busy plundering the company instead of reinvesting in it? It would be interesting to have an insider tell their side of the story...

    What is wrong with Brioni?

    Brioni opened up a new shop ("Atalier") in Frankfurt, by appointment only. They must have a positive outlook for the German market (or some profits to write off). https://www.brioni.com/en/de/frankfurt-atelier

    LUTWYCHE SAVILE ROW - apparently liquidated - stock on eBay UK

    Thank you! It's a shame, as even at 1000 GBP the suits are not overpriced. Probably, like in the case of D'Avenza, a high quality item without a strong marketing element cannot make it in 2021.

    LUTWYCHE SAVILE ROW - apparently liquidated - stock on eBay UK

    Could you please post a link to the seller? I haven't found any sub 200 GBP suits on ebay.

    Companies who burn unsold merchandise

    I recently walk past a Stefano Ricci store, and just had to take a closer look. I have never seen such thick, rich silks. After doing some research about the company, I had a very mixed feeling toward their business practice, of destroying unsold merchandise. Here is an interesting piece from...

    Gentlemen's Gazette

    He recently had an article about RTW suit makers: https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/ready-to-wear-suit-brands/ I do not think he rated some brands fairly. D’Avenza deserves better than a C.

    IsuiT - Italian Luxury Clothes - Official Affiliate Thread

    While I find some Kiton items overpriced, even at a steep discount, I can appreciate the fact that unsold items are not turned to ashes.

    For the love of d'Avenza

    I saw that some overcoats on offer at Archibald London are made in Carrara. Does that production line have anything to do with the craftsman who used to work for D'Avenza?

    For the love of d'Avenza

    I would say that traditionally dressed men with discretionary income just became rare. The only shop I know of that carried D'avenza in Düsseldorf (or maybe even Germany) has nothing near the quality or price tag nowadays.

    For the love of d'Avenza

    Now you just make me jealous. Please make a picture of the shearling vest! I wonder how the Italians interpreted this classic piece. I remember seeing a sports jacket with Sting Ray leather on the elbow patches. The 1200 USD pricetag could not be rationalized.

    For the love of d'Avenza

    Sadly, this article was one of the (very) few marketing articles of the brand. I hope that the revival effort will somehow bear fruit in a few years, when the economy recovers. Formal D'avenza pieces are not a part of my wardrobe, but I do own a few odd jackets from the brand. The Fabric, cut...
