What's your most irritating/disappointing buy from a so-called quality make?

[Corygal]

Mine is everything, all, no exceptions, from niche French hipster brand American Vintage. I spit on their Left Bank ways - 55 quid t-shirts that curl up and die in first wash, insanely expensive wool jersey dress that rode up past the waist despite being labelled knee-length, and sweatshirts that go so thin everyone in Clapham gets a good look at my bosom. Even the charity shop ragged the new stuff I brought in in disgust.

So tell me all your quality fails.

Clinique CC cream - did not like - expensive mistake
Petit Bateau breton - looks slightly shrunken and shabby after 1 wash - prefer Topshop ones

Whistles knitwear. I won't learn, love the styles but the quality isn't great and sleeves are always too short!

My Missoni scarf. I love it the colours but my god it itches my neck

Whistles knitwear again - looked like I'd had it for months after just a couple of wears.

Estee Lauder nail varnish....not good

YY to American Vintage. I thought it was just me! I've only bought a few tees, each time thinking the next would be better. No more!

My other would be a ridiculously expensive handmade kimono at the v beginning of the kimono trend. The fabric is just fine, nothing special, and the cut is by nature v simple so not sure what I paid for. Now they're everywhere I feel even more like I've been had.

I have to agree with Whistles. I bought a couple of their cashmere sparkle sweaters and after a couple of washes they look cheap and awful. Such a waste!
I also find anthropologie very hit and miss.
I bought an expensive Issa dress from Net a porter I'd been eyeing up for ages, and within a couple of weeks there threads hanging off it and it looked no better than something I could have bought from Next.

A slouchy polo neck jumper from mint velvet. After one wear it looked like a jumper I had worn for years and years (my 5 year old jumpers looked better than that!). That said I do have other jumpers from them that have worn well

Superdry t-shirts that have developed holes in them after a few uses

Petit Bateau tops - poor fit. Given they're meant to fit the best I was !!

Yy to superdry- the letters on my joggers started cracking the first time I washed them, and the elastic in the waistband has gone dodgy
Benefit's 'they're real' mascara- was shite
Benefits 'hello flawless' oxygen wow shite- went to an orangey oxidised finish within about 10 minutes of putting it on
But I do love their brow pallette and Erase paste , so they're not all bad

J crew t-shirts twisted at the side seams first wash.

Christian Dior primer - probably the worst primer I've tried.

YY to Whistles knitwear. They should rebrand themselves Bobbles.

Chanel nail varnish - chipped just looking at it. Essie and OPI are much better, as much as I love the rouge noir colour.

Hush - had a couple of very plasticky items from them, a jumper and chinos. Horrible and got sent back. Never again.

Uggs heels. Plastic on heels started peeling off before even worn out! Horrible quality. Had to fight for refund.

Essie and opi nail polishes. So weak and watery formulas (haven't found an opaque colour yet!) and chip easily.

Uniqlo - jumpers bobbled after one wash. Horrible quality.

Matthew williamson bedding range in debenhams - very rough and scratchy, our duvet covers from wilkinsons are better quality!

Body shop bouncy sleeping mask - the botanics moisture mask is ten times better and a third of the price. Didn't even touch my dry flakey skin.
