BODEN summer preview site

Meggles76 · 07/02/2011 16:44

Have ordered the few bits I want from the spring collection (Linen tunic, ruffle trim top, and boyfriend cardi - nothing else grabbed me), I just wondered if anyone know when they will be launching the summer preview site which normally has a 20% off offer...

Bumping as also wondering, last year it was the 2nd week in Feb (I think).

maxybrown · 08/02/2011 16:04

Yes reckon it could be any day going off last year, seemed to be wed last year - not that that means anything!!

Meggles76 · 08/02/2011 18:41

I did think it would be around now. Looked on the Boden FB page and that also suggests the middle of this month.

Sorry what's the Boden FB page??

Meggles76 · 09/02/2011 19:14

Sorry, I meant the Boden Facebook page. They have a page on there and lots of Boden fans post comments and pics etc...

facebook page says the end of next week

Preview site is now online.

I'm just as underwhelmed as I am by the spring collection. I quite like the Sun Downer Dress, but hate synthetic linings on summer dresses.

moragbellingham · 18/02/2011 12:58

I can only find Spring wearConfused. Anyone got a link for the summerwear?

crazyspaniel · 18/02/2011 13:03

ThanksSmile

moragbellingham · 18/02/2011 14:07

Those first three dresses are a bit "fun" and "printed" aren't they?

sleepysox · 18/02/2011 14:18

What do people think of the maxi skirts?
Can anyone tell me if they think they will emphasise a post baby blobby belly, or is there a chance they will they be flattering at all?

Lollypolly · 18/02/2011 14:19

Is it me or had Boden completely lost the plot this year? No linen trousers, horrible splotchy prints and ruffles / bows in all the wrong places. Thinking of defecting....

Emo76 · 18/02/2011 14:19

Scrolll down Morag and you will find a glamourous maxi dress which, if you look at the bottom hem/ models feet, is fairly see through. I think the glamour bit is some sequins. Hmmm.

Can't say I am rushing to order anything.

Lollypolly · 18/02/2011 14:20

Although I do like the kids' stuff Grin

Buddhastic · 18/02/2011 14:22

Aw such a disappointment. I think they have lost the plot too.

crazyspaniel · 18/02/2011 14:26

I agree, plot lost. I used to buy loads from Boden but won't be buying from the spring or summer collections. Probably a good thing too given that their prices have crept up in inverse proportion to the quality of their fabrics.

Buddhastic · 18/02/2011 14:34

Okay so where do we shop if not Boden?

moragbellingham · 18/02/2011 15:03

I had a pop up asking to complete a survey when I just visited.
I was ready to unleash my comments but it didn't materialise at the end.

As for the maxis - see through again, but surely you can get a jersey skirt in black or blue on the high st for less that.

Kid's stuff is great (in the sale).

sleepysox · 18/02/2011 15:18

I agree morag. I'm not going to buy anything from the preview(wallet heaves a sigh of relief).

But- I got my sunglasses in the post today, from the £15 voucher and 15% off, and they're fab- look good and are comfy. Bargainous. Wine

Finally used the wine emoticon!

NinkyNonker · 18/02/2011 15:18

Underwhelmed, as I was with spring stuff. Think I maybe just like their wintery stuff. Kids/baby stuff normally cute, will wait for sale or buy on ebay though I think!

NormanTheForeman · 18/02/2011 15:21

Can't say I'm overwhelmed by any of the women's stuff. Again this year, there is only one long skirt, which looks horrible. What happened to the lovely long cotton printed skirts they used to have? And the nice linen trousers.

The boys's stuff is slightly better (t shirts) than the spring stuff. I know ds will love the octopus t shirt. But still too much "teenage" stuff for the boys.

Rassy · 18/02/2011 16:21

I have my Boden goggles on and I do like the printed tunic www.bodenpreview.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Tunics-Kaftans/WL598/Womens-Printed-Tunic.html

kittya · 18/02/2011 16:34

I'm psyching myself up to looking. What do you mean by the boys stuff is "teenage"? I wish they would modernize the girls and make it more teenage instead of it all looking like it would be cute on a five year old!

polyhymnia · 18/02/2011 16:43

Very disappointed. Was hoping at least for a nice cotton maxi skirt. Notice half the cardis are waterfall!!
