Across The Sea

Why is it, in this day and age of voice over IP, accessible travel, and increasing global awareness... why is it that I can't buy this damn skirt?



I've waited for a year for it to come to the US La Redoute site, and still it thwarts me with its UK-ness. Its tunic and shirt brethren have made the arduous journey to the States, but still the skirt has not. La Redoute customer service tells me that somewhere in their corporate offices, someone decided this skirt didn't need to sell in some countries.

Why?

Can't help you buy the skirt. Though it is very nice. Though the marketing aspect may explain why Bennetton looked better in Europe. I agree with you that it seems to be exceedingly hard to find things that should be easy.
Interesting design.
Nice design! I guess Marketing has its own conundrums! But why are you relying on geographical barriers to buy the skirt. Isnt it available online, or can u talk to he designers directly?

Are you sure you want THAT skirt? I'm pretty sure I saw the matching top at karaoke last night. It sparkled pretty.

I've purchased a few things online at LaRedoute but I haven't been as excited about them when I received them.

I found a new website at shopgoldyn.com and they have several french designers on their site. Plus a bunch of other indie labels. Check it out as they've got french clothing but distribution is state side.
i know how you feel because i live in a country where i cant find most things I want :(
the person who take this decistion was not so clever
Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?

We are a company based in Hong Kong and have been providing custom made suits & shirts since 1997. With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.

All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost. In case you are not able to find what you are looking for then please let us know your requirement may it be in words or by a photograph and we could arrange it for you.

We also have an outlet at the Hotel Intercontinental Budapest where you are most welcome to visit us. Though we are not located in streets like Savile Row (London), we have still been able to offer made to measure suits to many VIP’s from around the world.
