After so many years, this note serves as a reference and guide — 90% of your questions can be answered here:

✨ Why Some Designer Pieces Have a “Not for Sale” Label

  • Exclusive Store Display Pieces
    Originally created for boutique displays or training, these items were never sold to the public — making them even rarer.

  • Authentic Craftsmanship
    Made with the same materials and finishing standards as retail products, just reserved for internal use.

  • Collector’s Rarity
    Slight variations in design or marking make each one a unique collector’s gem with its own backstory.

  • VIP & Press Gifts
    Some were given to VIP clients, fashion editors, or influencers, and marked “Not for Sale” to protect exclusivity.

  • Smart Luxury, Reimagined
    Owning one means you’re embracing true insider luxury — rare, sustainable, and undeniably chic.

1. What’s the real difference between your products and those from the boutique stores?

At Kirame, we work with a network of trusted factory partners, ateliers, and industry insiders who supply products made in the same manufacturing ecosystem as major designer maisons.

Because of our connections, we’re able to access:

✨ End-of-line pieces
✨ Overruns
✨ Factory samples
✨ Boutique not-for-sale gifts
✨ Seasonal stock purchased directly from authorised distributors

These are often identical or extremely similar to boutique items — coming from the same supply chain, but offered at a much friendlier price because they bypass traditional retail markups, advertising costs, and distributor layers.

What you’re really paying for is smart luxury:

  • Same craftsmanship

  • Same factories or sister factories

  • Same materials where applicable

  • No 10x branding markup

  • No sales pressure

Everything we curate is hand-checked for quality, sourced through legitimate industry channels, and priced based on real production value, not inflated retail positioning.

Kirame exists for clients who value:
✔ Quality
✔ Transparency
✔ Factory-direct access
✔ Luxury without unnecessary brand premiums

It’s the same luxury universe — just without the boutique pricing.

  1. Version differences:
    Small updates every March and major updates yearly.
    There are also regional versions — French, Italian, American, Mainland Chinese, etc.
    Even among official versions of the same model, differences large or small always exist.

  2. Production and process limits:
    There’s a professional term called “batch difference” — look it up.
    It’s common across dyeing, plating, and leatherwork.
    So, between different batches, subtle differences in texture, color, and gloss will always exist.

Additionally, most items are Handmade, not standardised, machine-made electronics.
Even bags made by the same craftsman will vary slightly in stitching or structure.

👉 So, even in boutique from the same line are never exactly the same.
Those familiar with or dealing in pre-owned luxury know this well — feel free to verify.

PS:
If you believe “same model = must be 100% identical,” please do not order.
That’s a misconception — even if we sent you one from the boutique, you’d probably still complain. Just buy from the boutique if you’ll feel safer.
