They're pretty close, I think the women's color is a little darker. I actually thought I was getting the hazelnut men's color, until afterwards realizing I ordered women's cognac 41. Luckily EU sizes are universal between men and women.
$780. $90 Was the amount claimed on the package when imported from France. I believe if it's over $100 then you get a higher chance of getting hit with import fees.
Yeah, pretty much an impulse buy, plus they look pretty rad. I saw that they were Pre FW/15 collection, hopefully it's the retail buy and not preorder. Either way 780 usd is pretty good considering Futures are 900 without tax.
