To judge those who shop in Boden?

Anyone who pays £15 for 1 normal simple t-shirt for a sproglet must be mad, surely!?

AIBU to think people who shop in Boden are mugs?

YABU, I don't understand why people think they have the right to judge how others spend their money. I have just bought a beautiful pair of flip flops(not Boden), they cost £200. Shoot me

Is it just me or does this say it all?

The current enticement to join is a free linen scarf, don't know if you can see the offer on the right hand side of the screen but it looks naff IMO, and the colour combo is not good. I would go for it if it were one of those free magazine givaway items but even those are nicer usually, like a free beach bag or mini makeup samples you actually want to try.

I don't understand this idea that Boden is one of the only places you can get nice clothing for little children without adult prints or loud images and labels all over. I have not found it difficult shopping for the children in my family, unless it were somewhere like Primark where you pay for what you get. But I could find lovely simple childrens clothes that are hardwearing for half the price of Boden. Sorry, it is just a lame duck argument to me to buy into a fad.

personally iI do not like the clothes enough on Boden to buy them but if i did like them enough or saw somthing that i thought would suit my DD I woud buy them even at £15 for a T shirt.

i believe that if you can afford to buy qualiry clothes that do not shrink stretch and maintain their colour just buy them a little over sized and they will last a coup;le of years. Quite fed up of buying cheap clothes/shoes that do not last a waste of money IMHO.

Hmmmm £200 for flip flops i'm not sure about that. Sandles maybe but flip flops ???????? i was nearly with you on your comment PrudenceNightly but you lost me at the end :)
