Does ordering directly from a store remove tax and duties tariffs?

Does ordering directly from a store remove tax and duties tariffs?

Hi, so a while back on this sub, I found a post about the tariffs and heard that calling a location directly and ordering over the phone can help? Has anyone tried this, and is there a price difference compared to getting it online? The one closest to me is the Los Angeles location, and I live in Northern California, btw. This has been a grail to me for a while, and any help works. Thank you!

help identify this necklace

I saw this for the first time on Vinted and I wonder if it's a real model or a fan made one. I would like to know something about it.

How do you care for Vivienne Westwood pieces that say “do not wash” or “do not wash in water”?

Hi everyone,
I’d love to get some advice from other Vivienne Westwood owners about garment care.
I have a few pieces, particularly viscose shirts and Drunken-style shorts, whose care labels say not to wash or not to wash in water, and recommend dry cleaning only using a specific process that I’m not familiar with (see the photo of the care label).
I’m a little worried about taking these pieces to a regular dry cleaner without knowing exactly what process they use. With the unusual cuts and fabrics of Westwood garments, I’d rather be very careful than risk damaging them.
For those of you who own similar Westwood pieces:
How do you usually clean them?
Do you always use a professional dry cleaner?
Do you specifically ask for a particular type of dry-cleaning process?
Have you ever had a viscose or Drunken garment professionally cleaned? How did it turn out?
And do you have any recommendations for caring for these pieces between cleanings?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experience. I’d especially love to hear from people who have been collecting/wearing Westwood for a while.
Thanks! 🖤

Avon Ring

Bought an Avon ring at Zalando for only 90 Euros, and I like it so much! And it is made from silver, and not brass like a lot of VW jewellery. I think this ring should be more popular, I didn’t find a lot of photos when I was researching it before buying

Has anyone seen this before?

Not a legit check. I got this wallet gifted to me for my birthday. I have been looking everywhere online to see which collection this is from out of curiosity, but I can’t find any information about it or even any photos, except for websites that scraped the seller’s photo. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s real or fake, I just thought it was odd that I can’t find this anywhere

Anyone have an ID on this pink pearl Vivienne Westwood necklace?

Pictures are from u/mateydesr who doesn't reply to asking details on this piece. The pearls look too mismatched to be the neysa style. I tried looking through worlds end / ebay but still can't find an ID

Platinum or Ruthenium Armour Ring

Long time lurker here. I’m keen to buy the Armour ring but unsure which colour is better. Hoping to get some advice on which colour is better and easier to care for… I’m also buying the belt ring as a stack. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Guys can you help me out?

Hi :) So in the next days I will travel to London and I was thinking about buying myself a ring from the Vivienne Westwood official store

It will be my first purchase from this brand and I’m a little insicure if it’s a good purchase since I want a timeless piece that I can wear daily.

My questions are:

  • do this ring hold up to time?
  • Are the gemstones prone to falling out?
  • Is it a good purchase when it comes to quality and price?
  • What is your experience with vw jewellery? Do you recommend it?
  • does anyone of you ever bought the London orb ring?

I’m a 22 year old master student and I don’t have a really big budget (only around 100€). Recently I lost my grandpa and the last time that I saw him he gave me 100€ and told me to treat myself with something nice for once: I normally just invest my money or keep it for the future, but this time I want to spend it as my grandpa wished (he actually bought me my first ever designer/ high-end ring).

I was thinking about buying a London orb ring since it really suits my style (the last picture are my current everyday rings), I always wanted the Colette ring or a safety pin necklace (like the Lucrece necklace) but unfortunately they seem sold out or out of my budget and I don’t want to compromise with a brass piece.

Is the London orb ring a good piece to start my VW collection?

I’m so sorry for the bad English, it’s not my native language 😭

Will the orb necklace ever be made in sterling silver?

Hello! I’m looking to buy one of the orb necklaces. I’ve noticed that VW has been releasing more pieces in sterling silver lately, so I’m debating whether I should buy it now or wait. Does anyone think there’s a chance the orb necklace will eventually be produced in sterling silver? Thanks!!

Rocking horse shoe sizing

I've been reading all posts on the rhs sizing and some say size up, some say don't size up. If i were to go based on the mm length, would that be the most accurate or even going by mm length, it is not accurate and i should size up?
