£350 for a Boden Cardigan!!!!

[Millie1]

Here. Has Johnnie B lost his marbles? Would anyone pay that for a Boden cardigan?

Flowers?

Anyone who would consider paying that for a cardigan of all things is beyond ridiculous. I don't get Boden at all. What's the appeal? Ugly clothes and stupidly high prices. Is it just for bragging rights or something?

"Maybe Boden have been taken over by Pedlars?"

Dear me, isn't it hideous. I'd go and buy something nice, classic and cashmere for that price.

looks like chainmail. decadent chain mail.

I have to go and vomit now.

Bonkers. I have bought very little over the past couple of seasons - the items I did purchase have gone straight back due to lack of consistency in their sizing.

Mint Velvet has some lovely on trend items and with the WHome12 25% discount, less expensive than Boden and a bit less recognisable.

And I speak as someone whose wardrobe up till recently was pretty much exclusively Boden.

Rookiemater how are there sizes compared to Boden, am a 14 in Boden tops. Have just had a look and there are some nice bits and code is valid - thanks!

Hi there - you can also use the code at John Lewises so if you have one nearby you can avoid the p&p buy doing John Lewis click and collect.

I find the sizes pretty true to size I'm a size 14 too and sometimes find Boden to be too large in the top, but the size 12s are too small.

Mint Velvet is perhaps a smidgen smaller, but you should be a size 14 there. I have recently bought this which is gorgeous on www.mintvelvet.co.uk/cream-lace-cardigan/knitwear/mint-v/fcp-product/1757 and this www.mintvelvet.co.uk/stone-sateen-jacket/jackets/mint-v/fcp-product/1676 which is surprisingly flattering even though I'm well endowed. What are you looking at?

Amazing that someone is stupid enough to pay that much for a cardigan.

I wouldn't wear it myself, but it is ok. My Nan might buy it for a tenner.

Have a look at this:

Looks like MN is giving ole Johhny the squeeze.
Their prices are getting very, very silly these days.

Thanks rookiemater i like this and this, i love navy, i am rather taken with this too.

Might have to wait until the end of the month though!

I havent bought anything from them for at least a year. The quality has been going steadily down hill.

This one is a snip at £275

Looks like it has lots of eyes from DS's cuddly owls stuck onto it
