I love a good Per Una mocking as much as the next MNer, and obviously they're doing some stuff very wrong (bra fitting!) which needs to be pointed out to them firmly.
But they're a British company, who pay their taxes, and AFAIK their employment and environmental record is better than most.
So is anyone up for a thread where we find the stuff they've done right, and tell them to do more like that.
I'll start off with the following:
A nice (IMO) casual jumper, 60/40 cotton/acrylic mix, but feels very soft and cottony.
A bright unisex toddler coat that can be handed down to a different-sex sibling!
Sandals at a good height with comfortable insoles.
They also do a useful cotton slip with adjustable straps which improves the hang and look of unlined dresses / skirts.here. But I don't think they still do my much-loved incredibly useful black polyester one anymore.
I think the shoes and children's clothes will provide the richest pickings, but anyone who can find really good stuff in Per Una wins the thread.
Inevitably you'll find some horrors looking for the gems - maybe they could go on a different thread?? But "This would be great if only it was 1 inch longer/not polyester" is fair enough.
I await the inevitable replies of "OMG how can you possibly think those gopping garments are any good?"
