Same, two things "in preparation" and the Bo small puzzle is not available but shows up as in-stock today. Their telephone CS says they are not going to offer the leather goods for sale on the site any further so it's a complete mystery why these things come up as in stock
It was new to me too! Someone on here kindly mentioned it and I looked it up. It’s a place where personal shoppers can source and send items to you. Sometimes the have the item in stock other times they will source and order it for you. Do check the seller’s rating but I used Mao from Noel’sStyle and was very pleased with my transaction. There was also a $50usd coupon for signing up/for the newsletter which helped. Good luck!
I thought it was pretty reasonable from this particular seller (original price from website was 750 cad and with shipping included and the buyma coupon code I paid 884 cad- if that helps!)
Mark up depends on individual sellers like eBay, so you may see multiple sellers who have different prices for items. I think it also depends on what country the seller is sourcing the item from. Sometimes you can find unexpectedly cheaper priced things from scrolling through recent items with just Loewe as the search term as they may not add spirited away to the title or the expected keywords.
That’s a very good price compared to ridiculous prices that’s on vestiare and eBay! Congrats on your purchase
thanks for the suggestions! How have customs/ duties been for your orders? @mandiicandii @Purseperson420I bought a black strap from Etsy that is shorter! It's in the process of shipping but will show you when I get it! There's also a way to knot the strap that it comes with too, but I was a bit ambivalent about how it looked!
Haha yes me too. I went to check out Buyma as I never used it either. But the listed prices of the bags are a bit too high, in my opinion. On the side note, I asked a personal shopper in Japan and she showed me the photos of availability in Loewe boutique there. There are lots of SLGs left and a few hammocks and mini puzzles.Oh man, I thought I was over this and then I started looking at Buyma
I wish they would ship around the globe… Do you know what Hammocks they have, the mini ones or the small Kaonashi one?
They have only mini hammock from what I saw: the susuwatari and the Bo ones. Yes I wish they would ship as well. I even called the Loewe Thailand store as they launched late on Jan 25 to see if they would do shipping or phone order, but no, they need buyer to physically be there.
Yes I did have customs charges so that was extra, but overall to me it was worth it!Oh man, I thought I was over this and then I started looking at Buyma
Duties and taxes haven’t been that bad, I just double check that they make sure they mark the actual item price and not the price I bought it at which helps avoid paying too much. I think Buyma is pretty strict with them though whereas an eBay seller I was able to negotiate with to lower their price also declared the items at a really low value and I barely had to pay any extra fees for that one- so YMMV. I will note that for Canadians it seems Japan is still not shipping EMS to Canada right now so sellers can only use Fedex/DHL/UPS which all have guaranteed duties and taxes whereas previously if you could ship via EMS it would go through Canadapost and sometimes things would slip through without having to pay.Oh man, I thought I was over this and then I started looking at Buyma
