yep...
kinda funny...
i prefer the matohu...thank you very much...

runner - is everything sold out...?
by that i mean, mostly sold- not literally everything...

this skirt is also phenomenal...
the fabric, the cut, the finishing...
what is the fabric made of>?


my guess is that they are selling well this season...

what I meant is it's the belt that is sold out at that store from which you posted the pics. the black one and the brown one both are sold out there.


that piece looking like a skirt is actually pants of
acetate 70 nylon 30 / cupro 100 lining
which seem to be still available.

OMG- it's PANTS?!?!...
like modern hakama...
even better!
ha!

wow...
a very good season for matohu!!
i love this...

thank you runner- for introducing me to them...
i really respect what they are doing...
it's beautiful and modern and cool...

There is a place in the us that sells this label. Many beautiful things indeed. Those interested can PM me if you want the name.

softgrey they must be glad to know you like this season so much.

on that page of the store site, the top section under "ショップニュース" is about new arrivals info.
the link where I think you found the belt is dated "2013/03/24".
it was telling us about the re-stock of the belt. so the belt seems to be an item sold out twice.
no re-restock of it so far unfortunately.

and all the pieces listed in the main section under "アイテム一覧　全 34 件" are basically things still available,
even though some or most of their sizes or colors may not be anymore.

thanks for the additional info runner...
not too surprised that the belt is sold out twice...
i wish i had found it sooner myself...but that's ok...

i'll have a look under the titles you posted to see how it's selling...

*i have been checking more...
and i am not so sure about the fall collection...
from the runway- i cannot say i love it as much...
but, it's always different seeing the pieces individually...
it is sometimes difficult to see the clothes through the styling...
i think that there is a significant difference in the way things are styled for a western aesthetic...

for example- those pants...
i see them as some chic elegant thing to wear with tall boots, etc...
but they have them styled in a very different way on the runway...
and as i looked back, i realise now that they have done this same type of pant before, but i guess it was hard to see on the runway---
even in the webshop pics i could not tell it was not a skirt until you showed me...
and none of the amazing details really come across in pictures...
you have to see the stuff up close, i think...
the web shop is quite good for seeing these kinds of things...
i'm glad they have them really hi quality images...
it makes such a difference in being able to appreciate the quality and the design...

Good, good...That's the shop in the US i was referring to.
They have a very keen eye for choosing sublime pieces.
