<\/a>\nRick Owens Boots via Vesitiare Collective<\/a><\/p>\n I have been after these babies from A\/W 2009 pretty much since I first saw them & I have been hunting for a pair in my size (that I could afford!) ever since. I became obsessed with the slouchy leather & those little peaked backs. Finally, after all these years scouring the internet, they are mine! When they arrived I don’t think I’ve ever opened a package faster & thankfully they fully lived up to my expectations in person, they are perfect & so comfortable too.<\/p>\n I have built up quite a collection of nice designer pieces over the years, but I could never afford to pay full price for them or even justify it if I could, so I rely on sales & eBay mostly. I discovered Vesitiare Collective<\/a> a while ago, and had been religiously stalking the pages of a few particular designers I love, waiting for something special to come along.<\/p>\n When these popped up a few weeks ago, barely used & at a crazy affordable price, I pounced! If I’d come across them for this kind of price on eBay, I would have been very wary, but the great thing about Vestiaire Collective is that sellers send their item to their team in Paris first, who check & authenticate each piece before then sending it onto the buyer from there. If the item is found to be counterfeit or does not match the description & condition stated, you are refunded immediately & it is returned to the seller. It makes it risk free, and also highly addictive when the prices are often so good, you may have seen I have since purchased a Mulberry bag<\/a> from them too! I have no self control!<\/p>\n Both times the customer service has been fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them more, though I should apologise to your bank account! I’ve also sold a couple of my own things via their website recently, and again I couldn’t fault them, it was honestly one of the most stress & hassle free selling experiences I’ve had. It’s almost a shame they mainly just take luxury, designer items, as I’ve started to hate eBay & other selling sites so much that I now would rather just give unwanted things away (and regularly do) instead of wasting time listing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rick Owens Boots via Vesitiare Collective I have been after these babies from A\/W 2009 pretty much since I first saw them & I have been hunting for a pair in my size (that I could afford!) ever since.
