Perfume online - authentic?

2008-10-13T03:13:15Z

Hi everyone. I found this website which claims to sell authentic designer perfumes, and it is very cheap. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is actually authentic or not?

http://www.bigdiscount.com/womens-fragrances/boudoir-perfume.html

I have a bottle of this perfume already, but it is running low, so I need to buy more. (I adore it and wear it all the time.) This site sells it for $45 for the 75ml, which is "marked down" from the "normal" price of $89, which is still far less than the 55 pounds of hervia.com. When I bought mine I got it from a discount department store in Japan, and I paid about half of Hervia's price, about $35 for the 30ml, so I know paying that little is possible, but this site is selling for about 1/3 the normal price. It seems a little too good to be true.

Should I just risk it? Anyone know anything about this site?

Anyone know when the Spring 2009 stuff will be on sale?

2008-10-13T00:55:09Z

I am totally digging those shoes but wondering when they'll go on sale. Might be booking a trip to London in December/January for work. Anyone know if they're up for sale yet in the stores or how much they are? She did something similar a few seasons ago, just don't think they ever went up to the thigh... I think it's like her old shoes, the straps detach from the shoe but I haven't seen a really good shot of the back of these heels.

Feeler Sale: VW bag, sterling silver heart stud earrings

2008-10-11T18:32:28Z

I've got a few things that I don't really use and thought they might be better off with a new home!

I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a VW Summer Stripe handbag, and also a pair of sterling silver heart stud earrings?

I'm a bit on the fence about selling my summer stripe handbag. It is my first ever Vivienne Westwood bag (*sniffle*)! I'm not positive, but I *think* it was from 2003. It retailed for £165. This bag is authentic and in darn near perfect condition, as I have only carried it a handful of times since I have had it. That's actually my reason for selling-- I don't use it enough, and I'd rather get a bag that would get more use.

(amateur!)Measurements:
Length: approx 8.25"
Height: approx 6"
Width: approx 3"
Handle to top of bag: approx 5"

I have the original dustbag, as well as the hangtag.

I also have a pair of sterling silver heart stud earrings.

925, VW stamp. There is also a super tiny 925 on the rods that my camera *definitely* won't be able to catch.

So cute, but I really don't wear them... D: The only thing wrong with them is that the black enamel is coming off on one of the earrings. I'm not sure if this is an easy fix or not. The enamel difference was EXTREMELY difficult to photograph with my camera. In the picture, it's the one on the left. The orb is still completely there, but the lines are a tiny bit thinner and not as defined as on the other orb. I don't think it would be super noticeable if you are wearing them, unless you are looking for the difference.

Also authentic, and they retail for £55. Don't worry, I'm not looking for nearly that much because of the enamel issue. I do have the pouch.

The ones at Hervia are now rhodium plated. Who knows how long before the sterling silver isn't available anymore... -_-;;

Let me know if you're interested, and feel free to make an offer!!

VW birthday gift

2008-10-09T15:42:01Z

Hello everyone!
I've been lurking on here for quite a while and seems to me like you're the perfect people to ask for a bit of advice :)
My friend loves VW and, as her birthday is soon, I'd like to buy her something nice. Thing is, I'd prefer if I didn't have to spend a fortune on it, of course - so that's what I need your help with, basically. I was thinking of spending up to 50£ on her gift, maybe on a pendant or something like that?
Every advice will be well appreciated by both of us, I believe :D

Century 21, NYC

2008-10-09T11:37:37Z

Quick post before I run off to work - VW stock updated at Century 21. There was one bustier that I last saw ($120), a few frilly button downs ($120), some new skirts and pants, almost all Anglomania but some Red Label. Looks like from the previous fall/spring collections, I think.

Cleaning

2008-10-07T14:06:22Z

I was wondering if anyone had some tips or could recommend product for cleaning VW jewellry
I went to my local Argos and asked about their cleaning products theri but in they said to just use one of their silver polish cloths
It does a good job of making them shiny but theyre still not necessarily clean, my phone charms especially!
They just look rather worn and grubby, Ive heard this is common when you dont clean them
But I dont know what is safe to use!
I hope theyre not ruined forever :(

Also I noticed the Terrorist shirt was back on Hervia
But I dont have a tape measure handy at Uni, so I was wondering roughly what UK womens size would it be?
The measruements given are - Chest 45"/114.3 cms, Waist 46"/116.7 cms, Length 29.4"/75 cms

Thankyouuu

Hi guys ;D

New to the comm.
I have 2 VW garments to sell!

I got this cardigan from a friend of mine as a gift.
It is from the MAN Label and is stated as a XL.
It's really thick wool and has holes all over the cardigan (intentional ha).
The orb on it is the old gold one, which is my fav!
If you're interested just give me a buzz with an offer.

Anglomania trousers, that are approx 32inch waist.
Offers?

Thanks!

Interest: White RHS Size UK4

2008-10-05T00:29:24Z

I have a pair of heavy used authentic VW RHS that I might sell, depending on whether there is any interest shown. I can provide pics if there is. I'd be looking for $125-165 shipping exclusive (very heavy package!)

Thanks~

EDIT: Pictures here.

I'm freaking out a little bit here

2008-10-03T19:34:52Z

Have any of you guys ordered something from Boehme? How was it packaged when it arrived? I ordered a necklace and today I got an envelope with a receipt and the card for the store and nothing else. So I'm a little freaked out right now.

It's all good. She sent them separately to avoid import taxes. :DDD

VW glasses

2008-10-02T19:55:53Z

Last month, aein posted a link to an eBay seller who claims to sell authentic Vivienne Westwood glasses. I ended up buying a pair for myself and they seem to be pretty legitimate. They're very well-crafted, and they didn't break or fall apart when I got my prescription lenses put in.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my purchase. I'll let you all be the judges. Even if they aren't real, they're still super cute and I'm very happy with them.

The case. Different than the stock photo provided by the seller.

The little cardboard something-or-other that came inside the case. I was a little concerned when I saw that the dots on the orb were in the wrong place.

But then I saw this ALLiSON SpA card and felt a little relieved.

Inside.

The actual glasses.

Close-up of the orb logo.

Now, here they are in action!

They are such a perfect shade of pink <3

Tell me what you think! I only spent about $70 USD, so it's not that huge of a loss if they're inauthentic.

Advice needed

2008-10-02T11:17:00Z

Just a quick request for some advice about the Ebay seller Anglomania1972 (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ANGLOMANIA1972). Has anyone bought from them before? I'm interested in one of the dresses (this one) but i'm not too sure if they're authentic.

VW Knuckle Duster Silver - M

2008-09-29T07:25:01Z

Ok, I realize this is a huuuuge long shot, but I just thought I'd check before I buy one from, like, Hervia. Does anyone have a silver knuckle duster ring that they are looking to sell? Size M.

This one:

I'll watch this for a little bit just in case anyone just so happens to!

Thanks~<3

Edit: My image was too big! Sorry!

Vivienne Westwood Watches?

2008-09-25T19:56:17Z

Heyy all : )
I want to buy a new watch and while i was thinking of which designer to get,
the thought of whether Westwood had any watches came to mind. I don't
think i've ever seen any designes of hers that are watches, has she got any
for sale? If so then can someone please show me where i can buy them, if
not i'd just like someone to confirm that she hasn't designed any.

Ciao x

Feeler for authentic small orb with replacement bail and chain & WTB for size small knuckleduster

2008-09-21T09:03:37Z

I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in my authentic small orb pendant that has a replacement bail and chain. The chain is a shorter silver plated 18 inch rollo chain with lobster clasp, and the bail is a small ring/link instead of the G/8-shaped one that originally came with the necklace. It's a pretty old version (around early 90s), so there are some minor knick and scratches, but the plating has not worn off yet. I'm hoping to get around $100 US plus shipping, and prefer to keep it within US since the only way I can attach tracking on international packages is Express Mail (expensive…).

Also, I’m looking for a knuckleduster ring in size small.

Sorry to bother. Does anyone know if ahmuimart on eBay sells fakes/replicas? I know most things on eBay are but I am not yet skilled in being able to tell the difference, so I would appreciate it. Thank you!

selling Libertine Flirtations Body Silk

This stuff is really pretty but I just never use it :(
I love the Libertine fragrance!

Anyway, this is a light lotion with a faint shimmer to it and a wonderful scent. I have used it maybe twice. I marked the photo so you can see how much is left. It is almost full! I will even send it to you in it's proper box. :)

Make me in offer in USD. I will be shipping from the United States, so let me know where you are when you make an offer. I prefer paypal but will take money orders.
I have positive feedback on ebay (click!)

thanks for looking :)

Requesting VW626 pictures

2008-09-17T01:30:46Z

Does anyone have a picture of someone wearing the VW626 sunglasses in any of the colors? I'm planning to get a pair but before that, I'd like to get a feel for the size of it and see how it actually looks like on someone. Thank you in advance!

About VW's new earrings

2008-09-17T00:10:23Z

At Hervia, her Liliac Stud Earrings come with this description:

These Beautiful Stud Earrings feature a pastel tone flower with matching stone in the centre. The Vivienne Westwood Orb is engraved onto the silver back. Imitation Rhodium*

Measures approx- 1cm x 1cm

Made in UK

*Imitation Rhodium is an alloy made of Copper and Tin

And her Heart Star Hoop Earrings say "A unique imitation Rhodium Plated pair of hoop earrings featuring a beautiful Asymetric Heart. Diamante Stones."

Would this wear the same as rhodium or no? Can someone with more knowledge about these materials explain it to me? Would they irritate the ear with frequent wear?

Thank you in advance! ♥

Vivienne Westwood fêtes Catwalk Breakdown
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
(LONDON) Vivienne Westwood celebrated London Fashion Week with the launch of her compilation CD, Catwalk Breakdown, at Selfridges Monday evening. Archival pieces from Westwood's Gold Label collections (including the infamous towering platforms that Naomi Campbell stumbled in on the catwalk) provided the decor as guests including Roisin Murphy, Alexa Chung and Peaches Geldof listened to tunes. Westwood's new album includes a selection of her runway music--everything from the New York Dolls to a Mae West rendition of "Great Balls of Fire."

"The idea for this came about because my son Joe [Corre]--and the man behind haute lingerie label Agent Provocateur--also DJs, and he suggested I compile a list of my songs to play in my store. Then we realized we could market it!" Westwood explained. "I actually want to do a second CD, because the most-played song from my shows is Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty' and that's not even on there."

Westwood wore a PVC-esque dress from her "56" collection, which referenced the number of days terrorists could be detained in England. That number was subsequently changed to 42. "I did my own song--a rap--about it called '56.' Now I've had to change it to '42,'" the designer explained. As for what we can expect from her Vivienne Westwood Red Label collection, showing later this week? "I'm really focused on my Paris collection [Vivienne Westwood Gold Label]," said Westwood. "I just hope this one goes well!"

Catwalk Breakdown launch

2008-09-15T11:01:33Z

Thnaks in advance.

Boudoir Sin Garden Recommendation + Legit eBay Seller?

2008-09-13T16:25:41Z

Hi, gang! I'm new to the community, but have loved Lady Westwood for a long time.

I recently purchased a small bottle of Westwood's Boudoir Sin Garden perfume during a recent trip to London. I absolutely love it! Mind you, I haven't smelled Westwood's other fragrances to compare, but Sin Garden is a gorgeous, light, powder-y floral. I'm also a big fan of Prada's L'Infusion d'Iris and Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb (though, I would say Flowerbomb is much more musky/vixen-y than Sin Garden) - if you like those florals like I do, I would highly recommend Sin Garden. It may even be my favorite perfume ever. :)

That said, does anyone know if howardwilss48 on eBay.co.uk sells legitimate VW jewellery? This user has 100% positive feedback, and the items look nice. Thanks for any advice! ♥
