Rock and Republic from Safari

Posted by nattle (260 days ago)

Hello girls,

I went to Safari in Pedder Building and bought a pair of rock and republic. Cutting was good when I tried them on in the shop but when I got home and looked at the pockets and details they look a bit different from the ones I got from Seibu. Are they selling the real stuffs in this shop? I'm a bit worried about it now. Thanks

As far as I know, this shop sells originals, but a lot of them are sample, overruns or defected. That's why they go to the bother of cutting up the name of the label, in order to prevent people from trying to take them back to the actual shops. Most people who make copies do not go to the trouble of copying a label and then cutting it up. Although, this being Hong Kong, nothing would surprise me. I've bought lots of things at Safari over the years and have never had any problem. Are the jeans you bought from Safari exactly the same style as the ones from Seibu? As I said, the ones from Safari may be slightly different and that is why they didn't pass the quality control.

There's one label at the back and it's a very poor quality skull label (compare to the ones I bought from Seibu) And double R on the back pockets got some crystals on them but they're very poor quality crystals as well. Anyway I gave them to my amah's daughter. Hope she won't tell the difference!
