What do you all think of Desigual?

[mrsgordonfreeman]

I bought a dress whilst in Spain and was wondering what you all thought of the brand generally.

the difference in quality between their own stuff and the market stall desigual-alike stuff is very noticeable.

their coats are lovely though mostly the same shape.

the skirts are quite close cut and unforgiving of flabby tums and hips though.

Mine's made in India, not that that means anything much.

The dress is pretty flattering imo - usual unforgiving Euro sizing but I have magic tights.

Some of their stuff is waaaay too patterned, but I found this dress which should be with me shortly, really hoping it fits. Not too in-your-face, imo. Whaddya think?

IT IS GOPPING

LOL, I thought this was a baby name thread!

Never heard of the clothes.

Aha, I was wondering about starting a similar thread. I have recently bought a desigual skirt, but I live abroad, where it's not too ubiquitous. IMO a lot of their stuff can only be carried off if you have quite dark colouring and are tall, so I'm jealous of my six-foot Indian neighbour who looks stunning in it. I found one piece I thought I could get away with. And actually it's very good for flab-concealing as it has a wide waistband that holds it all in. I agree I don't like the name being plastered all over the place, though.

desingual is to arty what per una is to quirky

the idea of mass produced clothing being about individulity is dim. You can buy stufffrom all over and put it together in a way that is individual . But if someone is waering desigual it is about the clothes.

It is like declaring you have a sense of humour by having a joke plaque over your head
'you don't have to be mad to work here...but it helps'

iwilldothis Screw the dress (only joking it's actually quite nice ) where are those boots from eh???

I want em!

I didn't know it was supposed to be arty or individual. Just that it's definintely 'bold', as in not subtle. But better than armies of blue jeans and muted single colour tops.

I agree but then I don't wear jeans

bunny....yeah, I'll be on the lookout for boots just like that if the dress fits me :)

I find it confusing. I'm not sure I like it to be honest

it takes boden hotchpotch theme to an extreme

No I don't like it. There is a shop in Chester where I used to shop as a teenager called Lee Louise and it looks like stuff out of there.

I out grow that stuff 25 years ago!

Oh my God!! I meant 30years ago!!!!!!!
