AIBU or has Seasalt lost the plot?

[Footle]

This is in their latest catalogue. Why?

[BigbyWolf]

Haha. I do love Seasalt but you're right, this picture is ridiculous.

[SittingWithMyFeetUP12]

Isn't it just supposed to evoke memories of The Red Shoes film...reminded me of it anyway.. :-)

[MaybeDoctor]

The picture didn't come out for me?

I love that Seasalt try to celebrate Cornwall and I have bought a few nice bits from there at times.

But yes, I think they have gone to far down the road of everything being the colour of dirge. Plus some of the styling is er, less than flattering.

[ShelteredLifeMe]

They lost the plot when they stopping doing children's clothes.

[ShelteredLifeMe]

*stopped

[MumBod]

They haven't stopped doing children's clothes, Sheltered, they just do them in adult sizes.

[Cherryskypie]

They do good raincoats. I've never bothered with anything else of theirs. Their prints look like they belong on tea towels.

Mumbod

[GimmeeMoore]

A paper catalogue,how very old fashioned

[NoToast]

I like Seasalt, I need to step away from this thread as you lot are going to ruin them for me. I am already reimagining the dresses as teatowels.

Mumbod I have a coat from there that a friend calls my 'ladybird' coat as I look like a character from a ladybird book in it.

[Cherryskypie]

It's harassment by catalogue. The White Stuff won't leave me alone because I bought (my mother) a cardigan from them two years ago. Lands End do it too (another dog walking coat.) They start to wear you down after a while you start thinking, actually, those cut off trousers aren't that bad and they would be handy for the summer and that tunic would be very useful. I try and get them into the recycling asap.

Almost en pointe (irresponsibly, her poor feet, and badly) in red brogues

She's not actually on a stool is she? The picture's not quite in focus.

[fluffiphlox]

The clothes are awful.

[TinklyLittleLaugh]

I like Seasalt too. Their clothes are very soft and comfortable and sturdy. I am an old frump though and quite happy in jeans and a Breton.

[reuset]

And yes, the photo 'Aye Aye ' is daft.

I don't the think the the model is representative of the 'target age, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know anybody much under 40 who shops there.

[Foslady]

I tried shopping there......their clothes weren't designed for someone who has a body like mine though!

[GimmeeMoore]

I've never heard if sea salt

[Cherryskypie]

I am almost 2 years under 40



Seriously, their coats are good for walking. I ended up on my backside in clay mud thanks the dogs deciding they'd like to go play with a passing deer. Once home I had to put the coat over the gate and hose the mud off it was so thick. A quick wash and reproof and it looked like new. They're also waterproofs that don't make you hot and sweaty.

[ProphetOfDoom]

I had the best wellies from there. My heels are narrow and in most wellies I look like I'm wading in invisible mud but SeaSalts are totally comfy.

When last in Norfolk & Devon it was like the Seasalt & Boden catalogue come to life

[Pigeonpost]

Ha. I live in a small town in Cornwall. Most of my clothes are Boden or Seasalt with some FatFace and Joules. And touches of Asda and sometimes H&M if I make A Trip To The Big City.

[BikeRunSki]

They haven't stopped doing children's clothes, Sheltered, they just do them in adult sizes.


DD had a Seasalt fleece and long sleeved T, both of which were excellent. I had a fantastic Breton top thing, which DH ruined with lazy laundering.

I thought I liked Seasalt until they opened a shop near me, and I went for a look and realised that all the customers were 25 years older than me and frumpy.

[Cherryskypie]

We can't go to Cornwall anymore since bastard dog added Labradors to the long list of things he hates.

[thenightsky]

Ha. I tried a few tunic type tops on in there last week. There were 2 very old ladies in there (I estimate mid to late 70s). They declared my tops as 'very nice and oooh they don't half look good.. I wish I was as young as you'.

I'm 58.

Someone posted a pic of nice bedding they did (that she wanted to track down in TK Max). Is everything nautical themed?
