Boden?

[Justtoobad]

Is Boden worth it? I've just got their brochure; it looks like Wallis though.
I'm happy to try if others out there say yah

There's a 20% off & free del code in Red mag atm - RYKP. Valid until 7 March.

I've been buying from then since 2009 & have no complaints. Never buy full price - Google or Mumsnet will always have at least a 15% off code.

Bretons are great basics, I like their jeans & have a tweed blazer purchased at 70% off which is fantastic. I'd say 85% off my wardrobe is Boden these days, I buy a lot at 70% off (even 80% off cashmere this time last year). So for me yes it's worth it as I'm too lazy to shop on the high street & they deliver in 2-3 days for free.

I am loving those discounts.
Are the clothes dry clean? As I have no time nor money to dry clean.
Do they keep their shape?

I have quite a few work tops from Boden. They wash really well and need minimal ironing. Ive had some of them for ages. Have a nice pair of jeans too but none of their knitwear so can't comment on that.

The cashmere isn't bad for the price, especially with a discount
Shoes are nice but usually a bit narrow for my trotters.
Can't do their trousers as between sizes

Some stuff is dry clean but it's listed on the website. I don't DC either so just avoid it. Everything else I put in the machine!

Their basics are fantastic quality and always fit me really well and look flattering. You just need to steer clear of their mad prints and anything labelled 'hotchpotch'.

I find it great quality, and the staff there are easy to talk to-helps a lot when querying sizes etc. I actually host Boden events, and have one coming up in March, basically they deliver me a load (5 rails) of clothes to try and then clients order their own having actually seen and tried on the samples. The March event has 20% off every category (children's, men's etc) and its free delivery and returns, let me know if you want more details-but regardless I say try it!

I think their customer service is second to none. Easy delivery, good quality, discounts......

I could go on all day, just steer clear of some of the more "cheerful" prints!
