I've always wondered what they do to shoes after they do this.

For those of you who have never visited our lil' shop, here is a link where you can take a virtual tour. Many people are surprised how small our store really is when they visit. :D

Am I the only one who realizes that Skoak's Carmina prices are lower than Carmina's Carmina prices?

Admittedly, it's a $5ish difference, but, considering the price hike was (at least somewhat) due to what I would consider, from all I've read, to be whiny US retailers, I think that is a realization that we should most definitely be giving Skoak our money.

Clearly, that goes without saying, but it doesn't hurt repeating in my view.

Nothing beats the exhorbitant price differential that Asian customers typicall pay in stores across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

I think Carmina is happy selling through retail channels rather than direct though. At least from what I have heard third hand.

I totally agree.
I think that some retailers, SkoaB included, have done a really, really good job making their shoes much more accessible and "known" to a wide customer base. In fact, I think a very good portion of their sales comes from these very retailers.

Base price for the style plus any surcharges (exotics, modifications, etc.) and then add 15%. I'm gonna post a USD price list for Bonafè next week. Basically, all Bonafè prices will remain the same as the SEK ex VAT prices as Bonafè has a very hands off, free market aprroach to RRP. Good news for non-EU clients in other words.

I think it's really cool that Bonafe adopts this approach. It tells me that they are probably more interested in making quality shoes rather than applying a firm stranglehold on all their retailers to enforce a very fixed price.
Indeed, quality will speak for itself.
