[OrangeBernard]

Gimmer? Que?

[DuplicitousBitch]

"Saltwater is a British clothing design label based in London.

We aim to bring a fresh approach to fashion and our clothes are all about beautiful colour, selected cloth, great design and close attention to detail. We make very special clothes which you?ll love to wear and love to keep."

My mum would love their stuff!

I bet Boden have sold your address to them.

[madammecholet]

Call them and ask how they got it. They cannot send it you again if you 'unsubscribe'.

[tulpe]

Oh no! Don't say that!

Have never perused their catalogue though, to be fair, so the majority of their stuff could be gimmer fodder .

I have a gorgeous striped long sleeve top (airforce blue & slate) which I wear with skinny jeans and a cotton A-line floral print skirt which I am looking forward to wearing in the late spring/summer. Bought them in the post-Christmas sale at the poncetastic "boutique" in our village.

They were truly bargainous and DH would be the first to say (loudly) if I were dressing remotely gimmer like :o

Urban dictionary gimmer is someone ancient.

Bog standard dictionary- gimmer is a sheep who has not had a lamb and young.

I got one too and am staring firmly at Johnny. And the prices are insane.

[madammecholet]

If they were cheap, it doesn't count tulpe, just cut the labels out immediately..

[tulpe]

madammecholet - am getting busy with scissors immediately.....

[DuplicitousBitch]

oh yes got the anthropologie one too. it is hilarious with all the cabbages and wot not.

i am sure there are some nice saltwater things but the over all vibe is tasteful gimmer.

[tulpe]

Just checked labels..........Tis Sea Salt and not Salt Water :)

[crazynell]

i'm 59 and I got one in the post and i thought it was too old for me!! So hopefully, i'm not a gimmer :)

[madammecholet]

Yeah, happy for you tulpe

[PlumSykes]

I got one too. Shuddered at abundance of t-shirt-under-dress, giant toddler style.

[AintMissBeehiving]

Haaa haa haa. Anything with "smocking" in it has to be a fashion no no.

[PuraVida]

That's nothing. Someone somewhere has got totally the wrong idea about me and keeps sending this catalogue of monstrosities. I am under 30 and have never been to Scotland Nor shooting

[AintMissBeehiving]

I'm in love. The pheasants would piss themselves.

[LessNarkyPuffin]

The model looks like she's struggling to keep a straight face!

[AintMissBeehiving]

The hats tops it off.

Can anyone tell me why Johnnie keeps sending me Boden catalogues, even though I have never, ever bought anything from Boden? Is there some secret system whereby he knows that I spend too much time on MN?

[LessNarkyPuffin]

Yes. He can see you. And your dress isn't made from a lovely slubby cotton. Oh no.

[MirandaGoshawk]

I got sent teh Saltwater catalogue last year & it didn't occur to me that it was old gimmer gear, just nice cotton. I ordered a little jacket. It looked like a pale grey in the catalogue, perfect for work, but when it turned up it was a revolting dark shade that washed me out. And it was £80 I got a better one in M&S for half that.

[roary]

I got one. Does anyone remember clothkits? Something vaguely clothkits about it.

I also get House of Bruar and various old lady catalogues.

[exexpat]

[polyhymnia]

I've never heard of them - at least Boden haven't sold them my details - yet!

But I do get some awful catalogues which appear from time to time - eg Penny Plain (?) and Orvis.
