LP_____ Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Hello everbody Just a quick question: has anyone ever heard of an Italian brand called 'Differente'? A picture is attached. Thanks in advance
Dr. Shoe Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 They look like the sort of thing that a lot of theses "Italian" fly-by-night firms seem to do on Ebay. They have an Italian name and list in Italian but it turns out they're based in Turkey, Germany or Russia or somewhere. They will list stuff with a $1,800 buy it now, then list the same things in a separate auction and watch the prices go up to $400 or more for boots that are probably only cost them $90 or so.

Shafted Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Being in Italy a few times in recent years, I do know that there are vendors located in Italy who import products from their native countries. Even shopping in Italy you must be aware this is also true. Shafted, the boots that is!

LP_____ Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for your contributions. Well, there are a few Italian sellers @ Ebay. At least three and I bought some shoes of them. They're all located in Italy at the same factory. That isn't a real problem, Just wanted to clarify that the shoes and boots are of very good quality and made by Italian shoemakers. But maybe you can help me with that 'other sellers'. I haven't recognized them so far.
