Tyne Attire Q&A

January 2021 (Officially)

So I have always liked re-selling since being a teen, Flicking through the rails of charity shops and making a profit on eBay etc. This helped fund my beer money through out my early teens and uni and then I was introduced to Stone Island through a friend who had a contact in Italy and the rest was history.

Well I enjoy a pint watching the footy now and again but I would definitely say I am more driven bu the business side of it.

Easy peasy. NEWCASTLE UNITED! Favourite local artist at the moment has to be Andrew Cushin

Obviously it's an obstacle within the industry and I would never use one myself. It's something that unfortunately happens in every genre of the culture and although it is very much frowned upon it's just part of the downside.

I mean I would say well over 1500 at the very very least but I haven't really kept count

I am very partial to a bit of Belstaff and their is a local brand in Newcaslte called REDSTAR which I really like

My wife! Found her when I was travelling and she has stayed with me all this time! It was true love at first site

I was a big fan of the 40th lumi jackets. I know they weren't to everyones taste but they were so unique

Anything that people can get at a fair price I think

The higher RRP is crazy! Everything goes up (including suppliers prices). Hopefully customers understand that price increase happen with resellers not because they are greedy but all their costs go up as well

Paypal, Credit Card, Debit Card, WISE, Bank Transfer

Royal Mail (my customers get the option always of tracked48 or special delivery)

Yes. If you are unhappy with your item then you can send it back within 7 days of purchase and will be offered an exchange for an item of equal value or a refund. This doesn't affect their statutory rights

Given the overall climate you've gotta go with ya gut and ride the waves sometimes. Bad times don't last forever but good sellers do.

N/A

After dealing with SI/CP for many years you can tell when an item isn't usually genuine. First port of call is ALWAYS the CLG code, I have had two instances where the items I received had the CLG replaced with authentic ones with I could tell with the rest of the item (stitching, swing tags, inside labels etc) that is wasn't authentic.

Genuine items for genuine people.

I have recently seen an increase in items going over to Aus and NZ
