Both eBay pairs had the turtle doves label on

Yalz · 01/09/2022 15:12

My too-small pair had the label on.

LemonFrosting · 01/09/2022 15:16

Thank you! I'm going to risk it and hope that they come with a label.

For anyone that's had a hole in them, is it easily fixable?! Wanting to gift them as I prob won't wear them myself.

All three of mine had the turtle doves tags on

They've been on strike plus the bank holiday so my second gin was delayed but here now.

I don't drink gin but DM and DMIL do so that's them sorted!

I know I’m just so impatient. 😂 I’m still waiting for that chocolate from Vodafone too. 😂

I ordered one pair of ebay turtle doves and have received two pairs, one light grey with a small hole and a pale blue with no obvious flaw. Was planning on gifting to my mum for Xmas but think they will both be too snug for her so I will have to keep them Grin

Maybe you got one of the posters boxes today that ordered 2 pairs but only got 1 😂

JubileeTissues · 01/09/2022 15:25

I hope I haven't got tiny ones. Why did I ask for slim fit?! Such a sheep 🐑

I've googled my gin and can only find it on the actual Brass Lion site for £66

LemonFrosting · 01/09/2022 15:29

I've ordered the gloves!!!🐑
For those saying you've received slim fit, was there an option for this as I seem to have missed that?!

AlternativelyWired · 01/09/2022 15:30

Goodness mine have already been posted!

dizzygirl1 · 01/09/2022 15:31

Another sheep for turtle doves. One for me at rugby matches and 1 for my mum Christmas hamper.
I'm thinking of a gardening hamper for my dad and luxury bits for mum, socks, gloves, body shop bits she likes etc

Yalz · 01/09/2022 15:33

I wrote to Turtle Doves via ebay to say that my order for 4 pairs contained only one pair, and that they were very small.
They have replied just over an hour later saying that they will send me another 4 pairs. Excellent service, I think.

Wow you were missing 3 pairs?!

Are these gloves itchy can anyone tell me? I can't wear wool of any sort but have never tried cashmere

valentinoandme · 01/09/2022 15:50

No they're not itchy at all! Supersoft! I hate anything with wool in but love these.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 01/09/2022 15:52

Does anyone know if the gin offer is still working? I got mine today and was telling a friend and she wants to do it too! 😊

Ps I also ordered ebay turtle doves but they haven't arrived yet!

sorryiasked · 01/09/2022 15:54

The duvet covers aren't even showing in my browsing history now so I think amazon must have pulled them.

I'm autistic and have a major sensory issue with wool. 100% cashmere is beautiful though. I could sleep in it.

I would avoid anything that was wool and cashmere blend. Thankfully turtle doves only use 100% cashmere.

Irritatedmum · 01/09/2022 15:56

The turtles doves I got from eBay have the turtle doves label but it’s got a black line on the inside (like a sharpie or something). Wouldn’t stop me giving them as a gift.

DreamloverTealover · 01/09/2022 16:10

🐑 Here too but excited as bought a pair for me to compare to the two pairs I bought from the site earlier this year for gifts!

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/09/2022 16:11

🐑🐑🐑🐑 gloves on the way

TwinsAndTiramisu · 01/09/2022 16:14

(wonders if I'm the only person on MN who can't see what the obsession is with Turtle Dove gloves...) 🤔

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 01/09/2022 16:15

Joined the flock - bought an eBay pair for WFH

You'd hate me! I have 4 pairs and another on the way. Have used them for years as our house is unheated and wfh can be soo cold. They are literally a lifesaver.

I even have stripey and cutomised pairs.

Yalz · 01/09/2022 16:34

@LemonFrosting no, there was no option to request slim fit gloves with my Turtle Doves ebay order. They just came like that.

An earlier poster said that she had made a request in the notes, and received what she had asked for. It might be too late if you've already made the order, but it might be worth a try.
