      Managed to secure one of the last (probably) AA size clip 8 at the old price..

      Feels too "small" for a key clip but heavy for a pendant, now I see why people love a B size clip 8

      Paired with 24inch A curb chain

    • RE: GOOD ART HLYWD - A Gallery

      @ajtrelf i got my brass BLB back when they were still £90 (probably even cheaper at one point), with the older design (SHIT HOT QUALITY on the spring ring) and used it every single day and loved it, and yes they are hella beat.

      For a silver version, when they were asking for £475, i thought its not worth it for something that literally get hammered daily, now they are even charging 1000 usd +, its just not the game for aspirational customer to play anymore.

      I get which direction they trynna head into for the brand, but they don't have the same brainrot filthy rich customer and celebrities base that CH has, that would literally buy any garbage they put out. And they are not Hermes.

      Luxury market has been on decline in the last future years, even brands like Burberry had admitted that they overpriced their products, resulting in a price decrese across all lines. Many luxury brands like Bottega, The Row having private sale/outlet left right centre.

      Yes GAH always talk about EDLC but for me, the brand was always targeting middle class/working class aspirational customers, with some crazy high end pieces (and prices) for the few individuals that could affrod it. This is just purely my personal opinion.

      I predict that the Asia market could see a decline, so many people are still living pay check to pay check and the cost of living pressure is more prominent than ever in 2026, China in general sees a huge decline in all aspects of retail, Japanese yen exchange rate are getting worse. So many people still working hardly any hours or no jobs at all.

      I doubt that a model 10B bracelet for 3 bands is on everybody's priority list.

      We will just have to see how that will effect GAH performance in the future, yes they say they will lower their prices if the silver goes down blablabla, but who knows, I doubt that they are happy to lower their profit margin at will, when they know they can charge more, end of the day its a business.

    • RE: BS-10GA - GOOD ART HLYWD Model 10 2A Goosebump Bracelet Size A - Sterling Silver

      @Kasi I have also seen it somewhere in the interview where he said the first size he made that he felt "right", he call it the A. The rest are scaled up or down to fit other peoples taste.

      @Kasi Althought I'd love to own a model 10 bracelet, I am not in a place in my life to acquire one just yet. Hopefully one day I will be able to snag one at one of the global retailers at the "old" price. I don't want to be pursuaded into consumerism because of FOMO.

      @Anesthetist looks really good and a great idea for organizing...

      Out of interest tho, won't the steel damage the silver pieces as we take them in and out of the box daily ?

      @hgering27 crazy stack, i personally actually think the large club ring is too bulky, the medium is like the perfect balance

    • RE: Unpopular opinions

      @Bridger This is just a quick thought on top of my head so probably doesn't sound the most structured.

      Never heard of Courts so I won't comment on that.

      IMHO I don't feel much depth in Crazy Pig's design, Great wax moulds but in terms of all the designs it doesn't feel like a cohesive "brand" that tells a story or represent a community, it almost just feels like they are making what evers they feel like on their mind at the time, and I feel like there's better options in the market, it's like"yet another skull ring" , the elements they use it just feels very traditionally "gothic" its almost predictable and boring.

      TGF has some really cool pieces and compared to crazy pig it certainly feels more original or like a brand. But speaking of the design aspect, I feel like some pieces are very lazy, and some elements can be fine tuned. For me its like, If I knew a brand like Goodart exists that simply makes better stuff, let say a chain with original and cool clasp/closure, why would I choose TGF? Yes there's prices differences for the same thing but I do think this is when the product itself is actually worth the mark up. P.S now the TGF is charging £3k for a 9kt gold bracelet that is just rediculous lol.

      GoodArt prices since the Jan 2026 increase makes the brand less appealing/harder to get into for sure, but for people that got into it earlier (2015 or earlier), they were way more reasonably priced and were making great stuff (still are), there's simply not an alternative to GoodArt in terms of the products they put out.

    • RE: BS-10 - GOOD ART HLYWD Model 10 Bracelet

      @Chibs exactly this !

      just let the customer decicde how they want to fit their own wrist with actual internal measurements rather than pushing "this is how the brand intended to fit" - saves a lot of time and money for both the customer and the retailer when a potential return can be prevented in the first place.

      end of the day every person have their own "best fit" of not too tight, not too loose

      @Shane-B you guys have a great selection of stock...

      althought its difficult for any UK based customer to consider buying from you guys when your RRP is already taxed for Europe prices and on top you don't offer VAT free or DDP for UK based customers.

      Just my personal opinion ..

    • RE: WESCO-MRLOU-NATH - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Engineer Boot - Natural. The "Mister Lou"

      @j6550 Might be a bold statement but I think its a Maryam thing... Been hearing a fair bit of mixed opinions about Maryam horsehide from Wesco lovers over the world, particularly about their quality/quality control of hides (or lack of).

      One thing I've noticed is that I keep seeing Maryam leathers coming up on Wesco's discounted section with leather imperfections, and this exact spec (Natural Maryam horsehide MrLou), they have a few pairs sat on the discounted section as we speak...

      This might have just been a one off thing for a particular batch, and I am in no way trying to give Maryam a bad name, for people that may have had good experience with Maryam or know stuff that we don't, but I am just sharing from what I have gathered related to the pair in question.

      Random question but does anyone know what size of the 4A rosette cutout model 10 equivalent to the standard model 10 ? like in terms of the size of the clasp mechanism.
