2nd hand 70´s stores would have them!!

I saw one the other day... but it was for when u have your baby in a sling... extra hole for the babe!

melsy · 04/04/2004 12:44

70's store is good idea. I would like a plain ribbed one. I used to buy 2nd hand all the time, Camden was my 2nd home, but now my taste has changed and somehow it doesnt appeal anymore. I have my eye on a JOSEPH one buts its £200 , whihc is RIDIC!!!!!

papillon · 04/04/2004 12:47

are poncho´s in at the moment or something... I thought that 50´s was in this summer.

melsy · 04/04/2004 12:48

No Im 2 seasons too late for any fashionistas out there , but I dont care cos I love them.

Davros · 04/04/2004 13:01

melsy - did you do a search on 'poncho' I saw loads for women on there. If you type 'ponchos' then the search isn't as successfull!

Just re did search, ther are some beutes. Lovely.

bunny2 · 04/04/2004 14:01

Accessorize do them (adults, not sure about childrens). I have one and it's fab.

Hulababy · 04/04/2004 21:21

I know you said you don't want to pay full price for them but the Gap ponchos are fab DD had one last season and is just growing out of it, so just got her the new one. BUT word of warning - they are very unlikely to go in the Gap sales. Getting hold of last winter's was very difficult even at full price. It was selling out the minute it came in stock as they only brought in one or two of each size maximum and had really limited stock. I had mine ordered. Not sure about this summer's one but again when i went there were very few. According tot he assistants, all the branches have been fighting over ordering them!

Mirage · 04/04/2004 21:40

Next will have some out in the next few weeks.Should be in the summer range & the latest catalogue.

CountessDracula · 04/04/2004 21:43

Gap sale!! They have a line turnaround of 32 seconds so you should be able to get it half price next week

CD- When is the gap sale starting? Would I be able to order one online as they only seem to have the american website for Gap (unless I'm going blind and can't see UK one!)

OP posts:
Hulababy · 07/04/2004 13:03

Only amercian site as I far as I know. Don't think you can order for Uk on it.

Good luck with getting one in the Gap sale. You may be luckier than us

Codswallop · 07/04/2004 13:05

I didn't find any when I looked at next online either. I prefer to browse online rather than traipse round lots of shops!

I've managed to track someone down online that is making one for me! I have been able to choose the colours, style and size. Just need to sit back and wait now!
