who recommended benetton?

[faustina]

I just want to say a massive thank you, whoever it was, because after fruitless trouser searching up and down oxford st/regent st I remembered what you said and as a result I have it all sorted now - trousers for any eventuality. Brilliant brilliant lovely shop, lovely assistants, really reasonable prices and they had many sizes of everything - and while I'm on the subject of stock availability why is it that bloody COS, which has nice stuff, never ever EVER has a sensible stock of things. each time I go there I think "oh that looks nice" - but they have five size 18s - or one size 12, and that's it - and there's a notice on the wall which says "if you can't find it please ask" - but when you do they just smile and say "no we don't have it, no we can't order it, no we don't know when or if we'll get any more".

I feel a bit better now. sorry for ranting

It wasn't me but I've also recently had a good shopping experience in Benetton...

I got some lovely vest tops, a gorgeous scarf (khaki, coral and blue) and nice spring cardigan. I also found the assistant really helpful especially when I got confused with the sizing.

I tried on some nice cropped chinos too, should have bought but nevermind. What trousers did you buy?

where have all the benetton shops gone?

all the benetton shops seem to be on oxford street southeast astra! A huge one at oxfird circus, and then another one towards tottenham court road.

I bought - some of their cropped chinos - lovely colour - kind of greeny grey - and a pair of grey linen chinos, a bit baggier. I could have bought another couple of pairs easily. perhaps tomorrow I'll go back on my way home and look at their tshirts

I haven't bought anything from this shop since the eighties I think!

Blimey I didn't know Bennetton were still going!!

I had a top from there that I got in about 1987 and I wore it nearly all the time for about 5 years, until it finally looked so shabby it was embarrassing!!

I lovesd it so much!

I love Benetton, there is one in my nearest town. I think I know the grey linen chinos that you mean. I really like it for dc´s clothes, I get nearly everything for them there.

LOL at southestra!!

No it was a short sleeve scoop neck t shirt that had a navy blue almost like a steam pattern.

I never saw another one.
I used to wear it with navy shorts, chinos, a small linen mini skirt, jeans in fact nearly everything.

That thing that you linked is awful!!!
