I've messed around with some of the hoodies, pants, and bags at some secondhand stores and I was disappointed. They were definitely substantial, but they weren't as luxurious or clearly well-made as other luxury brands. Similar stuff from Lanvin, Marni, and even Carven that was at the same store felt better by comparison. I also find a lot of smaller brands doing similar stuff at better prices and quality - Kolor, Sunsea, Bukht, Needles, and Haversack also had stuff at that store that was somewhat similar (thick cotton garments, oversized cut, washed-dye job, etc.) but nicer. I dislike the shoes but that's irrelevant. I actually didn't mind the bags so much but I can't imagine that there aren't superior options out there at better prices, again. No comment on the man or the designs; on a technical level I was not impressed.
