Lovely but expensive cardigan

I love this cardigan, even better if it was hooded, but alas, at that price, there's no chance!

If anyone seems anything similar, please let me know!!

I don't like it. It looks thin and not worth the price.

Definitely not worth the price!
Still love the style though.

Don't like it very much it's very thin & it just looks tatty, but even if I did it wouldn't be worth that price! Sorry...

It's handmade hence the price

A lot of etsy sellers are people who do these things as a hobby. If you calculated all your paid for work hours to the same that have gone into a handmade item you would expect more money.

I also wouldn't pay that money for such a thin cardigan but I have paid a lot of money for better quality handmade items.

The OP was asking for an item that was similar but not so pricey. Interesting that everyone has given their opinions on it instead!!

Pixie, thanks!
For those of you with suggestions, thank to you too - I'll investigate!

Can't think of anything similar off-hand, but I like some of the designs as well Smile.

A long shot but if you're anywhere near Greenwich market in London, there's a little shop (permanent shop rather than a market stall) that sells a lot of similar cardigans and jumpers.

Otherwise, search for lagenlook cardigans on eBay and there are a few similar ones.

I'm sorry but it looks like a rag.

Msfreud - thank you. There used to be a similarly sounding shop in Swansea but it's long gone now. Thanks for the suggestion - I love the occasional visit to London so will add Greenwich market next time.

Leo - thank you. That's very helpful.

Check ebay for all saints cardigans. Likewise religion. Asos often have religion bargains.

TK Maxx often have knits like this. Probably not 100% cotton but maybe merino?
