thanks runner for the new pics

I hope now they're more popular that they'll have better funding, and start using a bit higher quality materials... a couple of my pieces from the brand have done some pilling on the sleeves and also loose seams. although, taking a second look... even from these pics, it's clear they're bringing some higher end and more texturally interesting fabrics into play, which is great... cause I love the brand's concepts; quirky without going over the top.

they do it on a much less small scale now. it was five items trunk collection in the beginning. and this collection consists of 100 pieces. they moved into a new atelier for better operation last year.

I haven't got anything from the past few collections. but from my experience before them, their products came with a tag/card saying things about pilling and free repair service ( btw at the earlier stage, the products also came with her signature as a sign of her own quality check ). their customer service has been very conscientious as far as I'm concerned. so if you don't think it's too much trouble to send your pieces back to them, I think there will be some things they can do for you. are there still those certificate cards with them?

generally speaking, pilling may be inevitable somewhat.
there is nothing like pilling free sweater that still keeps the original or intended beauty to the eye and the touch.
but a designer would sometimes have to face the necessity of renunciation
and sacrifice one in order to attain another.
for example, I got a few items from the CdG F/W 94, the boiled wool collection. it was clearly written on the tag that they chose to renounce any chemical pilling resistance treatment in order to achieve the peculiarity of the textural look more fully.
also those who bought the lmaltieri sweaters of the first generation (which were super beautiful) would receive a lecture on proper brushing at the store and usually end up buying a classic and authentic brush too. it was funny though since basically his customers were supposed to be the type who didn't care so much about those punctilious maintenance activities.

hi runner I do remember now the card from an earlier garment (most other sacai pieces I got in some small second hand shops) - but I think I wouldn't send something to be repaired though, but it is really nice that the option is available. I knew, upon buying it that it would probably happen once I wore it enough, so I considered it my fault really
overall... I don't hate pilling, and on a lot of thicker wool garments, I quite like it, in fact. but on a thin cardigan or scarf it is not appealing for me. anyways I didn't mean to criticize with my post, I meant it in a hopeful way... as most brands grow, they introduce materials which are less likely to require any repair. looking at the new pics, it seems like everything is getting better and better... and I just meant I am glad she is able to have a better atelier now and things like that because I love the vision of the brand and how comfortable and lovely the clothes are.

I would love to get my hands on the long scarf which looks like it has rifle bullets(?) hanging from it...

I don't really like the hooded sweater but I find the rest as nice.

hmmm...
i have had only good experiences with the pieces i own...
i think i have about 5-6...
there is one sweater that pilled like crazy...but only on the inside ( so who sees that anyway)..plus i wore that like everyday for a year inside a margiela coat, so it got a lot of wear and tear...
all my more delicate pieces are in pristine condition..
though maybe it's because i am meticulous about taking care of my clothes...
...

runner- thanks for all the pics...
and the info about caring for lmaltieri- that is funny...
i could use some sort of brush maybe...

i don't usually like sacai bottoms but those knit cropped pants are SO C-UUUU-TE...
...they look so comfy and cool...

i have to say...there are certain signatures now in the line...
the nylon inserts on the sides of the garments ( like children's clothes made bigger), the basic t's with the satin collar, the sweater knit with sporty nylon details, the nylon ruffles at the back, the asymmetry...

* and i am so very pleased because i have at least one of each of these sorts of pieces- so i feel that i possess a good representation of the brand..

yay!...
