Chenelle: just no

[SelmaAndJubjub]

Chenelle is back and apparently on trend, if Jigsaw is to be believed: www.jigsaw-online.com/product/chenelle-jumper/J34515_BL010

It gives me the horrors just thinking about the feel of the stuff: grim in the 80s/90s and grim now. Or is that just me?

I like the feel of it but it really clings so not always flattering

Oh my. That just brings back memories of teenage drinking.

Tbh I was feeling quite nostalgic for 90s jumpers till I clicked the link and saw the price tag of £90!

Nope! Not just you!
Makes my skin itch just looking at it!

Just looking at it sets my teeth on edge

Always has a weird smell too.

Funnily enough thecatfromjapan, that was my first thought.

Oh my, it's a no from me too. I wonder what will be next of the retro fabrics, shot silk must be due a revival

Just flicked over to Friends and I think Monica is wearing one in red.

Oh god not chenille! Disgusting stuff. Always feels wet, even when dry. Flatters nobody. Saw some in Urban Outfitters the other day.

Crimplene will be on the rails by morning i predict.

Used to love them in the 90's but the smell and the fluff...

is Chenelle the same stuff as chenille? Not being facetious, just wondering. I remember going on a date in the 90s wearing a blue chenille cardi. Surprisingly, the night ended rather well

Yes - I always spelt it 'chenille' too but Jigsaw's going for 'chenelle'. Same hideous thing.

That jumper design is called Chenelle, it's made out of chenille I think?

Possible only in the home?

I had a burgundy chenille jumper in the '90s which I loved. It went threadbare over the boobs though so I had to take it back. I saw some chenille in M&S last week.

yes, they've just named the design Chenelle - like calling it Mary or something. but they describe it as being made of chenille.

I used to know someone called "Chenille".. Spelled Chinniel

It’s definately making a comeback, I’ve seen it everywhere.

I definitely won’t be purchasing!

I had a purple chenille jumper as a student. God, I loved it. I wore it until it was mostly just string.

I think I'd blocked this out...I'm now having flashbacks 😬

Yuk. And she is wearing a navy jumper with horrid black nylon trousers as well! Just no

I had a cream short sleeved one in the 90s, it went bald on my boobs from the friction of them bouncing about. I’ll not be revisiting this, although I do enjoy seeing all the clothes of my teen years coming back (on younger people).
