I've just bought a jumper in Bon Marche. Is this the end for me?

It's grey and unexciting but it's really lovely! Lovely shade and soft. Is this is? Do I have to hand in my style badge now?

I’ve got a lovely swimsuit from there so I’ll join you in the uncool club.

BlueMerchant · 27/03/2019 15:59

Yes, it's the end guys.

Thesearmsofmine · 27/03/2019 16:01

I have a lovely maxi dress from there. It’s the only place I could find one that was the right colour and length.

GarthFunkel · 27/03/2019 16:03

I think it totally depends if you pronounce it Bon-Marsh or Bonne-marssshhhhaayyyyy.

SeaViewBliss · 27/03/2019 16:08

I just bought a load of stuff in there for my holiday. They have great stuff for larger sizes. I don’t care if people think it’s shit Grin

HarrySnotter · 27/03/2019 16:23

It seems I'm not alone ... Grin

My bf is a manager of a store, so loads of discount means I shop in there loads, just bits that I think are cool. No beige. But I'm sorry to say it is pronounced bon-marshayyyy!

@HarrySnotter I bought a winter coat from there a few months ago and I'm 26 so I think it's fine! There are some decent things in there I think

I think we’ll get MNHQ to ban you from the S&B boards. There’s no hope for you now.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 27/03/2019 17:35

I saw this in the window on my local bon Marche, thought it was quite nice.

I care not a joy! I'm sitting here in my lovely soft jumper feeling a bit smug. 😂

My Nan always gives me her jumpers from bonmarche that she's received for gifts and don't want ...thinking I'll be glad of them...she's 90, I'm 30 Grin

I wore crocs up the garage to buy milk. It is definitely the end for us.

BarkandCheese · 27/03/2019 17:44

Their jeggings are the sort with a wide band of elastic around the top, they’re the only kind I’ve ever found that actually stay up on me and don’t need tugging back into place every five minutes. For that reason alone I’ll happily shop there.

Djchickpea · 27/03/2019 17:51

I recently bought some trainers from M&S. I think they look great but can't deal with the shame

Japonicaflower2 · 27/03/2019 17:51

I'm wearing a pair of pull-on polka dot ankle grazers from Bonmarché and I love them so much I'm trying to find similar on their website.
I like their jeans too.

BigFatGiant · 27/03/2019 17:53

The French version actually sells really great clothes.

Lungelady · 27/03/2019 17:53

I bought a coat from M and Co . And one from Roman.and they both gorgeous.

TheGirlWhoLived · 27/03/2019 17:53

Maybe there could be a whole different category for you all? Y’know BonMarche & Beauty instead?

Mrs9C · 27/03/2019 17:59

It's the last stop on the road Grin mind you, I found myself on the Land's End website the other week HmmBlush

Petalflowers · 27/03/2019 18:05

A friend took me in once whilst shopping and I came out with a dress, jacket and dance has brought a t-shirt which has worn really well.
Amongst all the frump, there’s some okay stuff.

Has anyone seen the Matalan advert recently. What in earth have they dresses Denise DV in? Some horrible dresses!

Sarcelle · 27/03/2019 18:10

I bought a bikini from there. One of the few shops that sells non padded underwired ones. It is very nice. I ordered it online, the shops themselves are dire.

I have bought several things from M & Co.

Most shops have nuggets of gold in and amongst the dross.

Rockbird · 27/03/2019 18:12

My 73yo mother loves it... I fear it's where I'm headed too!

HarrySnotter · 27/03/2019 18:37

My friend just popped round and the first thing she said was 'ooh lovely jumper'. Take that fashionistas! 😁

Haha this made me laugh op! Ours is right next door to New Look and many times have I thought 'ooh that's a nice top/dress/coat' only to realise it was in fact Bon Marche Grin But hey, I think most shops you shouldn't discount, there's usually something nice in them - even Per Una!!!
