Do you have a TK Maxx near you, they always seem to have them.

ELF1981 · 02/09/2007 15:19

shall check them out. Are their clothes good quality? Have never brought clothes from there before.

nutcracker · 02/09/2007 15:32

BHS and M&S always have old fashioned style coats.

TKMaxx sell end-of-line designer stuff

JL usually a good bet, or try Rachel Riley, Jojo, La Redoute, Vertbaudet, Mothercare, boden (twice), or there are one two three in Next.

francagoestohollywood · 02/09/2007 15:46

you can't beat zara.
Du pareil au meme has also old fashion clothes for little ones. If you've just won the lottery then head to bonpoint

ELF1981 · 02/09/2007 15:46

ooh, they're LOVELY!

DD awake from her nap, see you all later!

du pariel au meme
bonpoint
H&M always worth a look too

(but don't get a pale pink one, they're dry clean only)

MrsBadger · 02/09/2007 15:55

children's salon

LadyVictoriaOfCake · 02/09/2007 15:59

oh i love the deep purple boden one. that is dd1 ones this year for sure.

dd2 has the hot pink, dd3 still fits in the pink check one from last year. then she will get the pink one that was dd1, then dd2's. the light purple one will be up for sale, think its age 5-6 (i had two in the same size as dd1+2 now close in clothe sizes)

ELF1981 · 02/09/2007 20:21

If I dont see anything that takes my fancy in Zara or TK Max then it will be the first picture from Next, as that is beautiful!!!

My TK Maxx had loads of those gorgeous woollen coats exactly like you're looking for. I don't mind looking out for you, its like my 2nd home LOL

moljam · 02/09/2007 20:36

i have red one like that pink one-will check out size if interested?

twinsetandpearls · 02/09/2007 20:38

zara, I buy my dd one every year.

I did have a pink one somewhere, am more than happy to hunt it out and post it to you.

twinsetandpearls · 02/09/2007 20:39

Am not trying to flog you anything, it is just if we still have it it is just using space in the loft and someone else may as well get use of it.

FLIER · 02/09/2007 20:40

from a small independent childrens clothes shop, they should stock coats like the one you linked to, by Mayoral and such like.
Where in the country are you?

I'm in the UK.
Oooh Monsoon, forgot about them. Though TBH I tend to wander in, finger all the clothes and walk out again

Thank you for the offers of coats, though when I say "I want" its that my mum and dad want to buy her the coat as part of Xmas pressie, and they know the style I like, so just asked me to find for them to pay

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 02/09/2007 21:07

I went in to Monsoon this weekend to buy dd a new coat and they did not have a single coat in store.

twinsetandpearls · 02/09/2007 21:08
