here

It is a positive festival of tartan, massive tweed cullotes, shooting socks and wimmin hanging around golf courses in court shoes HmmGrin

WTF!

this one picture sums up the catalogue

I'm relatively normal - the Red Direct catalogue comes, along with Boden and Joules, Pure cashmere and Wrap.

How did I end up with this?

haha I just knew you'd name this brochure, I got it too a few weeks back!! Wierder than wierd.

I signed up to get the Boden catalogue a few months back and since then I have had allsorts of wierd clothing brochures like this, HAS to be to do with bloody Boden..

Even got a brochure sent to me last week about sheepskin clothing!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 13/10/2010 13:34

Oh yes it could be Pure, I bought from them this time last year and then that horror turned up.

I'm sure I ticked the relevant boxes though, hmmm.

yy - I had the sheepskin one too - nursery sheepskin or something like that.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 13/10/2010 13:35

See now the dresses are alright - no offensive patterns.

Ooh Laurie I will. I will be wanting some large and slouchy warm things this winter to keep me and bump warm :)

olderandwider · 13/10/2010 13:36

I got this one too. I spent a happy few minutes chuckling over the sheer tarten-ness of it all. Thisis my fave.

I can imagine DC shopping from this catalogue when he goes to stay with HM at Balmoral for the hols.

My parents live near the House of Bruar and we often go for lunch (very nice lunches btw) and they do have some nice stuff in there - honest!!! Hideously expensive though.

Thank you for this thread. It's making me laugh a lot! I does crack me up when they use young and beautiful women to model the most ghastly clothes.

Yes, it must be like catnip for Bonnie and Chet of Boise, Idaho

I got this catalogue yesterday. It really is truly vile. I found a frighteningly hideous outfit
www.houseofbruar.com/house-of-bruar-tweed-breeks-prodtp09120/& asked my 3 year old if I should get it? She told me not to as "It's not very nice Mummy". Out of the mouths of babes...

Does anyone remember that clown clothing catalogue of a year or two back - that was hilarious.
What was it?

KristinaM · 19/10/2010 01:02

I got the house of bruar catalogue last month and phoned up asking to be removed from their mailing list. They told me they couldn't, as they got my name from lands end. I then phoned lands end to complain, they acknowledged that I had indeed requested that my name and address were NOT to be given to ther companies. I then got letter of apology from lands end.

merrywidow · 19/10/2010 07:14

I stopped at House of Bruar once with my mum and DD. I purchased a beret with a little feather brooch attached, very highland fling - I think I'd run out of things to buy....[hgrin]

OnionBhaji · 19/10/2010 07:28
